It’s an open invitation to what might be the very best (horror) movie of the year! That’s right, we’re wrapping up Season 5’s Vampire coverage with the runaway original smash of 2025 so far, SINNERS!! Along the way, we dig into the complex web of personal relationships that make the film sing, the dazzling performances of the entire cast, and the sensuous and satisfying performances that bring everything alive... even the undead! All this, plus spit takes, guitar shots, dapper hunters, missing babies, endless praise for the cast, Michael B. Jordan worship, vampire rankings, and a communal edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure!! Stay tuned to the end for our pledge to our listeners as we move on to Season 6... but we have one more group of Deadites to put in the ground first!! Join the hive, won't you?

*lit candles glow, fog machine pumps, a cloaked figure enters… Welcome… to Fright Night… as well!! Or “in addition to…” Screw it: it’s FRIGHT NIGHT 2!! The original. There happens to be a second FIGHT NIGHT 2 that's a sequel to the remake. Wait, let’s start over.

Are you confused yet? Just you wait! On our final episode of Horror-CoMAYdy this year, we’re opening the crypt on a movie that plenty of people love, but it’s harder than ever to get your eyeballs on: the 1988 sequel FRIGHT NIGHT 2!! Here to help us put a stake in the heart of our horror-comedy coverage is writer and illustrator (check out her zine Resident Easel), Alicia Berbenick!! Along the way, we dig into the tortured and murder-filled road to this film’s short theatrical run, the loss of Jerry Dandridge and his sexy sweaters, and the innovative and exciting vampiric crew who rise to take his place. All this, plus we introduce the #oogieboogie death to the show’s canon, bad mass hypnosis diagnosis, Mrs. Brewster’s escape plan, bizarre hair concepts, vampire HR, motor oil hair slicks, eagle shrieks, and we sink our teeth into a pretty epic edition of Choose Your Own Undead Adventure!! Dip back into the crypt with us today!!

Check out Alicia's zine Resident Easel and other project on her site, beneandthegesserits.com!!

She also has a super rad etsy shop here!!

You can never go home again. But you can revisit, try to relive your “glory days,” and uncover an alien conspiracy to replace humanity with goo-filled robots. That’s right, we’re truly peaking with this week’s Horror-CoMAYdy entry, Edgar Wright’s final film in the Cornetto trilogy, THE WORLD’S END!! So does this week’s school chum reunion fair better than last week’s? YES!!! A thousand times yes. Along the way, we talk about Gary King’s main character syndrome, how friendships evolve or die, the bravery of Wright and Pegg’s story arcs, and the film’s uncomfortably accurate portrayal of the rise of A.I.!! All this, plus the artist envy economy, toxic nostalgia, and the surprising emotional heart of this hilarious horror/sci-fi/comedy mash-up!! So pour yourself a pint, order some chips, and join us for the pub crawl to end all pub crawls. And everything else.

On Kill By Kill, we try our darnedest to cover films that our audience can find and view with their eyeballs. This week, however, is a major exception. For Horror-CoMAYdy, we scoured the internet (and Patrick’s blu-ray collection) to find a movie that just does not work - and the world has conspired to keep hidden: 1982’s NATIONAL LAMPOON’S CLASS REUNION!! A motion picture filled with funny people, a screenplay by a renowned comedy writer, and the results are devoid of almost all humor. And we’re unpacking it all: from the scrubbed history of the film’s conception and filming, to the way it tacks on horror elements with zero desire to make them impactful, and the Bernie Wrightson-illustrated prequel strip that’s better than anything in the final product!! Along the way, we talk paper bag masks, required Blutos, TV-ready incest, “Jokes That Wouldn’t Work Today” Bingo, attempted karate, Terror Train connections, and much, much more!! So join us at Lizzie Borden for a get-together to die for!!

What is peak horror comedy? One could make the argument that this week’s film ascended near the top and became the finest genre spoof of the new century. That’s right, we’re taking a trip to little ol’ place where we can get together… and die for the amusement of the Elder Gods - 2012’s THE CABIN IN THE WOODS!! Along the way, we dig into the haunted basement of the film’s origins, unpack how the movie explains bad horror movie character archetypes, make out with a moose, and celebrate Johnny Friday or whatever his name was! All this, plus we revisit Count Orlon’s time management issues, bloody blowholes, phantom virgins, off brand Cenobites, and the most complicated edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure ever attempted!! So come on in, put up your feet, breathe in the pheromones and intoxicants, and stay awhile - won’t you?

Comedy and horror: two great tastes that taste great together if you get the balance right. But not every movie can actually walk that tightrope! This week on Kill By Kill, we begin our Horror CoMAYdy coverage with a film mixing slasher thrills with practical jokes - 1986’s APRIL FOOL’S DAY!! Along the way, we explore the film’s connection to Friday the 13th and St. Elmo’s Fire, examine why it relies on gay panic so much, debate the infrastructure required for murder mystery B&Bs, and reveal the missing 3rd act of the film. All this, plus rabid jack-in-the-boxes, more ferry nonsense, terrible detectives, well corpses, hidden twins, and a Choose Your Own Not Deathventure!! Join us as we laugh - and cry… for mercy.

Welcome to the movie that created a “turducken” out of a cat and forced a once-thriving horror podcast to its knees. That’s right, we’re digging into schlockmeister Greyson Clark’s 1988 flopsterpiece,  UNINVITED!! Our guest on this pleasure cruise without the pleasure describes this film as “84 minutes of bliss,” Oli Hamilton. Why, you may ask, did I expose my only child to this film? It’s because I love him so much. Along the way, we experiment with mutant cat physiology, explore bikini adornments, meet the Kuato doctors, turn on the bubbly death, and try to get a handle on Clu Gulagar’s borrowed teeth! All this, plus ponder the meaning of “1000x normal” blood, consider if this movie inspired one of It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia’s most notorious bits, and we lament that the film has precisely zero cat scares! Plus a bloodtastic edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure! Come aboard the last - and least - movie of Animal Attack April with us today!!

Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the water, we roast every minor character on Amity Island. That’s right, we’re celebrating the 50th anniversary of JAWS in the most fitting Kill By Kill way possible: hyper focusing on the least important people in the story! Here to help us take Polly, Mrs. Taft, and the groovy dentist guy down a peg is Returning Champion, Megan Sunday!! Along the way, we talk height disparities, karate rampages, super old parents, mob wives, rubber hats, drunken escapades, and yes, an extended inspection of the icon himself, Amity Harbor Harbor Master Frank Silva!! All this, plus Quint’s funeral, medical examiner improv, actress-wife problems, and a Choose Your Own Character-venture for all time!! It’s the granddaddy of Animal Attack April movies - don’t miss out!! We're sorry, Steven Spielberg.

Gather ‘round - the feast of all feasts is about to begin! That’s right, Animal Attack April 2025 looms even larger than usual when “Mr. Big” aka Bert I. Gordon is at the helm and we’re gorging on his 1976 eco-horror cult classic, THE FOOD OF THE GODS with the immeasurable help of actor, comedian, and manager of the Video Garage Matt McCarthy!! Along the way, we earn the “based on a portion of HG Wells” discount, perform deep lore study for Dead Right Horror Trivia, hit up Marjoe Gortner's complicated backstory, Discover Ida Lupino’s unique exit strategy, and we start the “Give John Carpenter a F*cking Oscar Already!” campaign. All this, plus giant cock attacks, the return of Twizzler juice, weird celeb encounters, undercover Coneheads, jars of pickled Cream of Wheat, strange turn-ons, “the Football Way” of survival, and an enormous edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure!! It's a buffet of baffling cinematic decisions on this week's Kill By Kill!!

It should have been so simple. In fact, the hook is just two words: space vampires. That’s it! And yet what resulted is a roiling boil of Dracula tropes, sweaty performances, extended nudity, and some of the best shriveled puppets you’ll ever see! That’s right, we’re zapping the energy out of 1985’s LIFEFORCE with the help of actor and stand-up, Matthew Broussard (watch his new comedy special, Hyperbolic here!!). Along the way, we learn all Tobe Hooper’s magic touch, how the producers of Cannon Films nearly tore the film apart, why Steve Railsback is playing so many different Bram Stoker roles in one movie, and Matthew schools us on physics!! All this, plus fallopian flashbacks, biscuit bribes, physician prescribed swords, helicopter blood conferences, male ass technology, Patrick Stewart bald pate worship, and a cosmically insane edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure!! Blast off with a very new episode of Kill By Kill with us today, won’t you?
