Midnight Movie Snack

It’s been 40 years since Silver Bullet howled onto screens, and we’re celebrating with two very special guests: the film’s director Dan Attias and actor Bill Smitrovich. Join Chris, Garrett, and friends Craig, Dale, and Sawyer as they revisit this 1985 cult favorite, filmed in their home state of North Carolina.

From behind-the-scenes stories to memories of shooting one of the most beloved werewolf movies of the 80s, this episode dives deep into what makes Silver Bullet such a fan favorite, a mix of scares, heart, and small-town charm that still holds up today!

After a long hiatus, we're back with an impromptu episode recorded at Mi Cancun in Durham, North Carolina. While having lunch, it dawned on us to record our conversation where we were talking at great length about the late Val Kilmer and his amazing career as an actor and artist. We fully expected this recording would be unusable because of the noise level in the restaurant, but through the magic of AI and ElevenLabs, the audio was cleaned up some and turned out mostly well. Give a listen and be sure to follow us on Instagram and Tiktok (@midnightmoviesnack). And do the usual, if you please: Like, follow, and share!

Tonight we pay tribute to an outstanding actor we lost earlier this week: Tony Todd. His performances in Night of the Living Dead (1990), Candyman, The Crow, Final Destination, and other projects in film and television were nothing short of masterful. Join us as we remember this talented artist and the legacy he leaves behind.

Wrapping up our Horror Originals and Remakes series as part of our Halloween celebrations, we're bringing one of our favorite horror movies of all time and its remake: Dawn of the Dead! Featuring original trailers, a review by movie critics Roger Ebert and Gene Siskel, and more. Be sure to follow us on Instagram @themidnightmoviesnackpodcast and check out our TeePublic store for movie-themed merch, including t-shirts, stickers, and buttons.

Enjoy this bonus episode as you tear into this season's trick or treat haul. And stick around for our final episode this week in our Horror Originals and Remakes series. Happy Halloween! You will sleep like the dead, teacher.

Our Horror Originals and Remakes series continues this month with a look at two iconic movies with horror icon killers: Halloween (1978 and 2007) and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974 and 2003). Chris discusses how each stacks up and what the reception was at the time of their release. Find out why both the originals and remakes have their own unique merits. And join us next week for our final episode in the October series where we look at Chris' favorite horror movie Dawn of the Dead (1978) and its 2004 remake.

Our "Horror Remakes and Originals" continues this week with a double feature of voodoo, AI, 50s sci-fi, and 80s body horror. Join Chris for his look at two sets of movies: Child's Play (1988 and 2019) and The Fly (1958 and 1986). Killer dolls and human-fly hybrids await you... if you dare. Join us next week for another double feature—the dueling serial killers Michael Myers and Leatherface!

Happy October, Happy Halloween, and Happy Podcast Listening! This month, we're taking a look at horror movies and their remakes. To start us off right, we're heading to high school for a tragic teenage tale of terror and telekinesis—not once, but twice! That's right, we're looking at Carrie from 1976, directed by Brian De Palma and starring Sissy Spacek and 2013, directed by Kimberly Peirce and starring Chloë Grace Moretz. And join us later this month for our look at other horror originals and remakes, including Child's Play, The Fly, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Halloween, and Dawn of the Dead!

The passing of a total legend. Goodbye and thanks for so many terrific performances, Mr. Jones.

Chris and Garrett return after a sort-of-summer break to take a look at the recent Hulu documentary from Andrew McCarthy, Brats. Is it any good? Hear what the men in motion have to say about it. Plus, what's coming up with the podcast and other chit-chat from your beloved hosts.

As always, thanks for listening!
