📼 THE LOST EPISODE OF MOUTHS OF MADNESS HAS BEEN FOUND…

In 1996, the Mouths of Madness made the extremely intelligent decision to record an episode LIVE from the Abaddon Hotel. They headed into the basement, set up the microphones…and were never heard from again.

Until now. 👀

Recovered audio has finally revealed what happened that night — and apparently we spent our final hours reviewing HELL HOUSE LLC (2015). 🤡🏚️

We’re diving into one of the most talked-about found footage horror movies of the last decade: creepy clowns that DEFINITELY moved, demonic basement activity, ghost children, portals to Hell, terrible business decisions, and a group of people with absolutely ZERO survival instincts.

Some of us think Hell House LLC is one of the scariest and best found footage horror movies ever made… while others would rather be dragged into the basement by a demon than sit through the shaky cam again. 😂

🎃 Is Hell House LLC a modern found footage horror classic — or one seriously overrated haunted house?

Ginger Snaps (2000) might be one of the most underrated werewolf movies EVER made.

This week on Straitjacket Talk, we sink our teeth into the Canadian cult horror classic Ginger Snaps — a movie where puberty is already horrifying enough… and then somebody decides to throw LYCANTHROPY into the mix. 😭

We break down Ginger & Brigitte’s complicated sisterhood, the movie’s brilliant puberty/body-horror metaphor, its gnarly practical werewolf effects, that killer early-2000s soundtrack, and why Jennifer’s Body owes this movie at least a thank-you card. Plus: questionable werewolf anatomy, way too many dead dogs, and the important questions nobody else was brave enough to ask. 🐺💀

Apparently reviewing Hokum (2026) wasn’t enough for Logan… so he bought an Irish hotel.

Welcome to Logan’s Dread & Breakfast, where the doors mysteriously lock behind you, the continental breakfast is basically Mountain Dew, Bearclaw has his own VERY special room, and we’re pretty sure this place is one insurance claim away from financial stability. 🔥

Once we survive check-in, we dive deep into Hokum (2026) and ask the important question: Is this one of the BEST supernatural horror movies of the year… or did Adam Scott just spend two hours tripping on mushroom whiskey and running from an Irish witch? 🍄👻

In this episode of the Mouths of Madness, we break down Damian McCarthy’s latest nightmare, including the creepy Irish hotel setting, terrifying jump scares, Adam Scott’s performance, the mysterious witch, Jack the Jackass, THAT ending, and most importantly… Jerry and his legendary mushroom goat milk. 🐐🍄

🔥 Female Trouble (1974) might be one of the most UNHINGED movies we’ve ever reviewed.

John Waters + Divine + cha-cha heels + a bowl of spaghetti = absolute CINEMA. 😂 In this episode, we dive into the filthy, hilarious, low-budget madness of Female Trouble, debate whether it actually qualifies as horror, discuss why Divine’s Dawn Davenport is somehow impossible NOT to root for, and ask the important question: Is crime really beauty?

From the legendary Christmas meltdown to acid attacks, fish, questionable parenting, the most chaotic dinner party imaginable, and an electric-chair finale… John Waters certainly gave us plenty to talk about.

We also break down the movie’s cult status, its punk-rock DIY style, the performances, its surprisingly relevant themes about fame and crime, and whether Female Trouble is the BEST gateway into the wonderfully disgusting world of John Waters.

What happens when John Carpenter’s ultimate alien-killing badass meets John Carpenter’s ultimate alien? 👽🔥

In this episode of Could They Survive?, we drop John Nada (Rowdy Roddy Piper) from They Live into the frozen nightmare of Outpost 31 from The Thing. No MacReady. No prep time. Just Nada, a flamethrower, an unhealthy amount of paranoia, and a creature that can perfectly imitate anyone.

Could Nada expose The Thing before it assimilates him? Would his famous sunglasses actually help? Or would the entire station be on fire approximately 15 minutes after he arrives? 😂

We break down Nada’s strengths and weaknesses, the blood test, his potential six-minute fistfight with Childs, and whether his “kick ass first, ask questions never” strategy could actually SAVE HUMANITY.

🔥 Is TALES FROM THE CRYPT: DEMON KNIGHT one of the most UNDERRATED horror movies of the ’90s?!

Before we can even start the review, The Collector has found the Mouths of Madness… and he wants IN. 😈 The seal is the only thing keeping him out — but there’s one problem: he knows EXACTLY how to tempt each of us. Can every member of the Mouths of Madness resist The Collector… or will one of us BREAK THE SEAL AND LET HIM IN?! 👀

Then we descend into the 1995 cult horror insanity that is Tales from the Crypt: Demon Knight — demons, incredible practical gore, dark comedy, questionable life choices, and Billy Zane going absolutely UNHINGED as The Collector.

This week we're diving into Champagne and Bullets (1993), also known as GetEven and Road to Revenge—one of the most gloriously insane movies ever made.

This week on The Mouths of Madness, we're diving into The Silence of the Lambs (1991)—the Oscar-winning horror classic featuring Hannibal Lecter, Clarice Starling, Buffalo Bill, and enough psychological horror to make your therapist quit.

But here's the twist... is Clarice actually the hero? 👀 We debate one of the wildest fan theories we've ever discussed, break down Hannibal Lecter's true motivations, explore why this movie still dominates horror over 30 years later, and somehow end up comparing Clarice to Batman. Trust us... it makes sense (sort of).

Expect deep horror analysis, hilarious arguments, Letterboxd ratings, favorite kills, memorable quotes, and plenty of unhinged comedy along the way.

Is The Devil's Rejects (2005) actually Rob Zombie's greatest horror movie... or did we all just get hypnotized by Free Bird and Tutti Frutti ice cream? 🍦🤠

This week on Straitjacket Talk, we're joined by Dan from the Mouths of Madness to dive into one of the most controversial horror movies ever made. We break down Rob Zombie's brutal sequel, debate whether it's secretly a horror western, argue over the unforgettable ending, discuss the Firefly family, Captain Spaulding, Baby, Otis, and whether this movie somehow tricks audiences into rooting for absolute psychopaths.

Bearclaw had ONE job... and now we're recording LIVE from the middle of a cave. 🦇⛏️

Welcome to The Mouths of Madness, where our latest team-building adventure has gone horribly wrong. Thanks to Bearclaw's "brilliant" idea, we're trapped deep underground while reviewing The Descent (2005). Will we find a way out... or will our only future be becoming someone's skin suit? Stick around until the end to find out if rescue arrives—or if we're joining the crawlers forever.

In this episode, we descend into one of the most claustrophobic horror movies ever made. We debate whether Juno deserved her fate, break down the UK vs. US endings, rank the terrifying Crawlers, discuss the practical effects, and argue whether The Descent deserves its reputation as one of the greatest horror films of the 2000s.
