Kill By Kill: Talking Horror Characters One Death At A Time

Thank Freddy it’s Friday... again?! We’re reliving the bad dream of 2010’s A Nightmare on Elm Street remake with Returning Champion Gonzales (Deep in Bear Country & Del Toro Time pods) in order to understand why so many good ideas get turned into brown mush! It’s a very lively discussion that includes exploring “Bad Man” preschool, delving into what actually works in this version, why Drake forgot to drop a hot track about this version of Freddy, and ultimately, why “Not Your Daddy’s Freddy Krueger” is such a bad idea in the first place. It's an episode where we try to like something that refuses to be likable, basically. Also CONTENT WARNING: Freddy graduates from "mere child murder" to molestation... so just be aware of this terrible development. It sucks.

Listen to Phil's podcasts: Deep In Bear Country and It's Del Toro Time!!

What better way to celebrate Valentine's Day than Sexy Murder? On a special bonus episode of Kill By Kill: After Dark, we're talking about the Crimetime After Primetime classic, Silk Stalkings (Season 3, Episode 11), which also guest stars Up All Night host Rhonda Shear! Here to help us put the cuffs on is Returning Champion Michael Varrati!! Suit up in your most garish color combos as we explore the seedy, sexy underbelly of Palm Beach/San Diego, Florida, on the hunt for a killer cop, a neon-infused workplace rife with sexual harassment, a coroner who gives stiffs boners, a cop bar with a very fruit-forward drink menu, a mock turtleneck, and a "Lipshitz Fit." Plus, we make some wild speculation about what Sgt. Rita Lee Lance & Chris Lorenzo do off the clock, tarantulas on silk sheets, and why Silk Stalkings loved horror movie actors. This episode is... arresting! It's also very funny, but mostly it's full of cop puns.

There's nowhere to run... nowhere to hide... Axe Gang (local 238) of the New World has us in their sights! Patrick & Gena are ready to put these psychos away as we finish up the horror-procedural Cobra and discuss the most important thing about it: prop comedy! Or is it how to advertise a cult in the Penny Saver? No - it's Shelly Finkelstein cosplay!! We also talk a lot about grenades, and we barely know anything about them. FYI - there is a mountain of dead bodies in this episode, and yet the most grizzly death is the sexual chemistry between Sly & Brigitte. We're racing the devil on this episode... join us, won't you?

Thank Cobra it’s Friday! That’s right, we’re combining our love of horror and 80s action cheese as we attempt to charm the very deadly Sylvester Stallone cop classic, COBRA, with Returning Champion Patrick Bromley (F This Movie). Along the way, we talk about Axe Gang Diversity, Marion Cobretti’s filthy bat cave kitchen, and ask the important question: Do snakes like hugging? Then we have the longest list of possibilities ever in a Choose Your Own Deathventure, and finally, we have the longest discussion about John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band on any podcast ever recorded. Maybe 90 seconds? Seems like 75 seconds too long. And yet, I didn’t cut it. YOU’RE WELCOME.

Thank Freddy for Wes Craven! On this episode of Kill By Kill, we're getting serious - mostly - about one of the best horror films to emerge from the 1990s, Wes Craven's New Nightmare. Gena & Patrick are joined by FANGORIA writer and A Horror Movie A Day’s author Brian Collins as we dig into the pure Hollywood tale of the lengths one master moviemaker will go to torture his leading lady... onscreen, of course. Along the way, we talk about eel punctures, stabbing Freddy in the dick, the special hell of Hollywood assistants, and why people misunderstand the connection between New Nightmare and Scream. Plus, we delve into what makes Heather Langenkamp such an incredible star and John Saxon an icon for the ages. Join us, won't you?

Ready for one last present? The gift that keeps on giving is Fear No Evil, and here to help us send it to heaven or hell is the one and only Jonathan Barkan. Along the way, we all discuss the geometry of demonic crotch shots, why Patti Smith is so popular in blue-collar dive bars, six-shooter fingering techniques, and the diaphanous lingerie wear of fallen angels. Of course, we nail ourselves to the cross of Choose Your Own Deathventure and meet our two new favorite characters: Community Theatre Jesus and NBC's Chicago Dad. Listen immediately, if not sooner!!

Thank Lucifer it's Friday the 13th! It's our favorite day, and what better way to celebrate than talking about the "reason for the season" - the Devil. Gena & Patrick are joined in this special holiday celebration of Omensploitation with Returning Champion and #HorrorQueers podcast cohost Joe Lipsett! Together, we all discuss school shower seduction techniques, surprise girl gangs, antichrist capes, oil painting backstories, teenage mutant ninja angels, and so much more. Plus, we have a heavenly round of Choose Your Own Deathventure and the dodgeball/best death scene ever! Get into it!!

Thank Freddy's it's Black Friday!! Why risk life and limb trying to get a bargain TV when you can risk your sanity with Patrick & Gena as they put the last stake in Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare. Along the way, we talk Freddy's poor joystick technique, "incredible" warehouses, what all that crap is in the Krueger basement, sperm skeletons, and the set of MTV Unplugged. All this, plus we play "Better Brain Ride" between Freddy and Jason - it's a winner-take-all!! So grab a shovel, 'cause we're burying Fred Krueger with all the respect and soberness the subject requires. So... like nearly none.

All bad dreams must come to an end and so must our favorite “dream demon” in Freddy’s Dead: The Final Nightmare. Returning Champion, actor, burlesque performer & horror enthusiast Elissa Wagner joins us again to shove a stick into the ear of the first half of the film to talk pipe bomb nuisances, raising the moistness levels and learning to find the desire to kill again. Ear violence, the Universal backlot, and defenestration by a dummy thicc ass are all discussed at length, along with an impromptu Choose Your Own Deathventure. Join us for the beginning of the end. Kinda. We have three more movies here. I'm not sure who I'm trying to fool.

Dance Belts! Cocaine Buffets?! Disco Wolverine?? It’s the Halloween episode of Kill By Kill, and there is nothing scarier than the 1979 roller disco “classic” Skatetown USA! Even the tricks are treats when we talk woke af Billy Barty, learn who is “Virginia Woolf’n It” off the pier, leer at Patrick Swayze, delve into the magical origins of an Omega Man vampire DJ, and even play Choose Your Own Deathventure! It’s the most groove-tacular,  spook-tactular on eight wheels! Maybe. Pretty sure? Yes. Probably.
