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

We're only halfway through the remixed revisit of our coverage of Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter,  and it's time to bring in an expert. That's right, this week we’re joined by film director Jeremy Kasten (The Wizard of Gore, Attic Expeditions) to learn what it’s really like to be on a movie set with Crispin Glover. Along the way, we attempt to uncover the mystery of Mrs. Jarvis’ missing first name, expose the kind of person who samples a dip with their fingers, and learn of Jason Voorhees’ secret life as a Swap Meet Craft Salesman. Plus, we try to find out why anyone would stock a rental cabin with sad Big Band records and stag films, and we toss out our suggestions in a new edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure. Let's get stunt-acular, people!

Fear is the new faith, bones are the new money, and so are the worms! That’s right, it’s knife crime after prime time as we speak to Old Nick about one of 2026’s best horror flicks so far, Nia DeCosta’s 28 YEARS LATER: THE BONE TEMPLE! Along the way, we discuss how Duran Duran can shape an apocalypse, debate why Patrick can’t pull off a blonde wig, reminisce about Sigourney Weaver’s insanely hot Alien³ fashion shoot, and explore how we’re relating to the zombie genre as parents. All this, plus zooming doomerism, shifty grifters, chest fileters, bone credenzas, and then we go full heavy metal on an all-new edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure! We’ve got the number of the beast off the wall, and we’re dialing it once you listen to this new episode of Kill By Kill!

On this week's remixed episode of Kill By Kill, we're continuing our deep dive into FRIDAY THE 13th: THE FINAL CHAPTER! This week, we're bringing Shannon Campe from the Stage of Fools podcast along for all the skinny-dipping fun. In this episode, we discuss “reputations” and how to get them, the likelihood of a Three Stooges impression succeeding as a seduction technique, and Jason’s most unlikely new skill: swimming. All this, plus virginal elbows, interpretive dance... AND TWIIIINNS - and an all-new round of Choose Your Own Deathventure!! Use that forearm strength to press play today!!

It all comes crashing down this week as we get out of our human suit and into our creepy bunny suit to dig into 2001’s cult classic, DONNIE DARKO!! Along the way, we explore the movie’s many connections to Stephen King’s multiverse, debate whether this collapsed reality is all Grandma Death’s fault, worship at the altar of Drew Barrymore again, and point out some vital Long Beach filming locations. All this, plus Langoliers vs Critters, Snakes on a Plane, stab air, say cellar door a bunch, and rewrite time to play a new edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure! We’ll never question your commitment to Sparkle Motion again if you download and listen to this episode today!

Out of order? You're out of order!! Well, actually, it took us a while to rescue the original audio of all of our Final Chapter episodes, but it's better late than never as we dig into this remixed episode featuring network TV honcho Jen Titus! This week, we launch the new series CSI: Crystal Lake, learn what a Nurse With Benefits is, and finally consider the advantages of a “front banana pocket” vs. “summer medical kimono!!” All this, plus a medical-grade edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure for your listening pleasure! Enjoy “ignorance and a snack” today...

On your marks… get set… podcast!! That’s right, we’re being hunted down like the dogs we are as we discuss the 2025 remake of THE RUNNING MAN!! Along the way, we explore the overlapping themes of the Bachman books, unpack why this new version sings and goes flat, and consider the possibility that Glen Powell is just too good-looking. All this, plus Scott Farkas-alikes, mosquito hunting, Mick Fleetwood’s star power, weird bummers, The Legend of Chun-Li, YMCAs of the future, and so much more! It’s cameras up for chaos on an all-new Kill By Kill!!

We hate for it to go, but we love to listen to our redux coverage of Friday the 13th Part 5: A New Beginning leave. That's right, we're welcoming our pal Zach Powers (of The Revisionists podcast) into the BARN OF DOOM to talk about the last 20 body-dumping minutes and really ask the heard questions, like what type of Pokemon Jason is, consider where Part 5 to Mrs. Doubtfire connect as stories, dig into why this supposed NJ township has banned bras, and debate a Halfway House’s need for a mobile bed of spikes. All this, plus crotch stabbings, breathing corpses, "hallway handball," and an all-new, all-not-that-different edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure!! It's a tractor to the chest's worth of fun! Tell a friend about it. Or an enemy. We don’t care.

Listen up, buster! We’ve got a great episode for you, but it does contain undignified language. That’s right, we remain unhobbled as we discuss one of the best Stephen King adaptations of all time, 1990’s MISERY. Here to help drag us out of the snow and back into bed where we belong is one of the stars of the new horror film, OBSESSION, Cooper Tomlinson.  Along the way, we explore how the story went from page to screen, unpack the many cockadoodie layers of Annie Wilkes, consider the alternate versions of Paul Sheldon, and uncover the secret subgenre of the finished film. All this, plus popcorn rations, the horror/comedy connection, the Annie Industrial Complex of the internet, leaving behind what you no longer love, Francis Sternhagen appreciation, and a well-composed edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure! Folks, believe us when we say we’re your biggest fan… if you listen to this all-new episode of Kill By Kill.

It's the section of FRIDAY THE 13th PART 5 so nice, we recorded this episode twice!! That's right, it's the return of this special edition of our New Beginning coverage and bringing on two great guests to help us: the leader of F This Movie, Patrick Bromley, and the co-writer/director of Beyond The Gates, Jackson Stewart! Both of them love Part 5: A New Beginning, and they’re here to defend the indefensible as we decide if this movie has an “accidental snuff film” feeling, debate whether anyone involved in the movie has ever met another human being before, compare notes on our new favorite band “Panda” and finally get to the bottom of the weirdest #GetBunked committed to film! Also, is this the only Friday film to feature the breathtaking art of mime? All this, plus we go to town on a new Choose Your Own Deathventure, and you’ve got the best way ever to celebrate Friday the 13th EVER!!

Listen to the F This Movie podcast and read the blog here!!

Folks, we’re off our rocker again!! That’s right, with Mother’s Day coming up, we’ve got the perfect film to explore: 1986’s PSYCHO 3!! Here to help us find our way through the desert is our friend and podcast host of Fun With Horror, Scotty Cross!! Along the way, we discuss the kinds of oddballs who are attracted to the Bates Motel, debate which Mother is the worst Mother, consider Norman’s “rebellious teen phase” in middle age, and delve into Anthony Perkins as both an actor and first-time director!! All this, plus rapid corpse decay, crack den technology, lack of road recognition, loose theatrical gels, mixed media installations, and a confounding edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure!! So bring your dead birds, we'll bring the sawdust and peanut butter - cause it's a real "taste treat" for Psycho lovers on Kill By Kill!!
