Night School Horror

Apparently, everything in horror comes back to Ed Gein.

The crew get into Monster: The Ed Gein Story, how much of it was actually true, the liberties Netflix took, and the very real influence Gein had on some of horror’s biggest movies.

And apparently Tommy really needs to talk about “Owner of a Lonely Heart” by YES.

Tommy James and Big Money Eddie put on their hazmat suits and wade through the radioactive mess that was the Alien Earth finale. Spoiler alert: it sucked. From limp storytelling and cardboard “character arcs” to the ever-present fingerprints of corporate greed, our boys dissect how Hollywood once again proved it can milk a franchise until it’s bone-dry. Along the way, they chew over the role of horror in the Alien universe, gush (and gag) about the beauty of the xenomorph design.  In the end, the lesson is clear: if you’re a Hollywood writer, maybe stop writing like your audience has the memory span of a goldfish.

Indy’s a good boy, Todd.

Tommy, Sabrina, and Mista Malave get into Good Boy, a horror movie told through the eyes of a dog that hit us way harder than we expected.

We talk Indy, that ending, and how a movie about a haunted house and a dog somehow turned into an existential crisis.

Seriously though...Indy’s a good boy.

Good Boy will be releasing in USA Cinemas on October 3rd and UK Cinemas from October 10th

A loyal dog moves to a rural family home with his owner Todd, only to discover supernatural forces lurking in the shadows. As dark entities threaten his human companion, the brave pup must fight to protect the one he loves most.

Strap in, students, Tommy James and Big Money Eddie are back in session, and this time they’re dissecting episodes 5 and 6 of Alien Earth. Yes, the show where corporate greed is scarier than the monsters, pacing issues move slower than a Xenomorph on Ambien, and somehow… the aliens are the ones we feel bad for.

The boys wade through philosophical plant life, identity crises, and the looming “machines rise up” subplot that absolutely no one asked for, but we’re all here for anyway. Predictions fly, shade is thrown, and somewhere in the chaos Tommy proves that the scariest thing in the universe might just be his inability to pronounce Timothy Olyphant. (Offright? Oaf-lint? Who knows?)

At this point, the Warrens are basically the Kardashians of horror.

Tommy and Mista Malave get into The Conjuring: Last Rites, the Smurl case, what worked, what didn’t, and whether it was actually a fitting end for the Warrens.

Plus, we rank the entire Conjuring Universe...and we're definitely not agreeing on all of it.

On this episode of Night School Horror, Tommy James and Big Money Eddie sink their teeth into the indie horror-comedy Draculaw. They pick apart its charm, budgetary bruises, and that whole “time as an energy vampire” thing—because nothing says horror like losing a weekend to deadlines. From pacing quirks to soundtrack surprises, the hosts balance praise with playful stabs of criticism, proving once again that low-budget doesn’t mean low-bite.

Class is in session, and this week Tommy James and Big Money Eddie crack open the latest episode of Alien: Earth. The boys question whether the franchise is boldly going… or just cashing checks. From creepy kid characters to corporate overlords, from AI asking “do you love me?” to the soundtrack making sure you do, nothing escapes detention. Expect talk of cyborg xenomorph nightmares, real-world capitalism bleeding into sci-fi, and whether Timothy Olyphant just graduated top of the class.

Apparently Portland loves Naruto running and Tommy’s Aunt Edna really hates sticks.

Tommy and Sabrina are joined by Edy (@fieryfinalgirl) to talk Weapons, horror obsessions, a little Halloween Horror Nights, and whatever the hell was going on with Aunt Gladys.

Seriously...why was she breaking all those damn sticks?

Your Favorite Movie Therapist and The Cigarette Smoking Man crack open Episode 3 of Alien Earth “Metamorphosis.” We mourn the surprisingly anticlimactic death of Ashley the Xenomorph, while also celebrating the glorious comeback of acid blood, the franchise’s most reliable supporting character. Timothy Olyphant continues to add depth and swagger, while the hybrids keep things messy, weird, and fascinating in all the best soap-opera-from-space ways.

From Peter Pan parallels to philosophical callbacks that scream Prometheus, this episode serves up big ideas—and even bigger WTF moments. Wendy’s "transformation" raises some serious questions, the facehugger reclaims its throne as plot MVP. Bottom line: the show promises even more bizarre, exciting revelations ahead… whether we’re ready or not.

And hey! Do you think Timothy Olyphant is as amazing as we do? If so, enroll at Night School Horror, drop us a 5-star rating, and we’ll see if he’ll show up to your birthday party. (No promises, but we’ll bring the acid blood cake.)

In this episode of Night School Horror, your Favorite Movie Therapist Tommy James and The Cigarette Smoking Man Big Money Eddie spark up and sink their teeth into the first two episodes of Alien: Earth. We break down the tension, the gore, the melodrama and yes, the kind of genre-mashing that feels like a facehugger showed up to prom uninvited.

We chart the evolution of the Xenomorph (who we've now named Ashley), debate the best kills so far, and wonder out loud if this series actually knows where it’s going. Spoiler: Tommy and Eddie are locked in for the whole season, so light a candle for them.

And remember...if you want Ashley the Xenomorph to skip you on her next hug tour, just enroll at Night School Horror, hit us with a 5-star rating, and we’ll put in a good word.
