Nightmare Network: Exploring All Things Horror

Mike has been preaching that #Revivial is a top 5 Stephen King novel since the book was released in 2014. So naturally, he took a page out of the Kingcast’s playbook and forced Killian to read it! Tune in as Killian does almost anything he can to annoy Mike with nitpicks about his favorite book, even though Killian freely admits he loved it. (Why does he torture me so). 

We’re a little obsessed with hypothetical horror fights. This week, who would win: M3GAN or HAL 9000? Keep in mind that HAL 9000 NEVER ONCE ripped off a child’s ear and threw them into traffic, so point M3GAN! Tune into our new episode and see who takes the AI crown! Link in bio!

Can we convince Gore Verbinski and Hideo Nakata to allow Samara/Sadako to go toe to toe with a radioactive lizard and a massive ape in Godzilla Vs Kong 2? Will we also be able to revolutionize the film industry by convincing someone to mash up Fast and Furious with Transformers? Episode already sounds ridiculous, huh? Tune in to hear us talk about two horror classics and a ton of other things!

Things you may learn on this podcast: 1. Our personal rankings of the movies in the #Scream franchise; 2. How to transition your horror podcast into a friends to lovers podcast; 3. KILLIAN GOT STABBED!?!? Tune in for way more information than was probably intended, but boy is it a great time!

Did we spell it right? Honestly, I have no idea. But what I DO have an idea about is how freaking kick-ass Dark Castle Entertainment's remake of William Castle's original classic is. Is this ballyhoo inspired exploitative horror schlock? A surprisingly tender look into grief in the modern family? Or a cautionary tale into the importance of homeowner's insurance? You decide! Actually, Mike already decided. The entire movie is a basically State Farm commercial. But one thing is for certain: THANK GOD FOR MATTHEW LILLARD.

Listen, okay? We tried. We did everything we could to record a podcast on Robert Rodriguez's 90s zeitgeist The Thing Meets The Breakfast Club masterpiece of a movie, The Faculty. But we were tired. Like about to pass out at the microphone tired. And I mean, who doesn't like to hear about weird buddy cop exorcist movies and a budding demon MCU film series? Just listen, okay? We tried. We totally tried.

Kyle Edward Ball's experimental nightmare "Skinamarink" has been blazing trails and giving Mike's fiancee panic attacks because she was forced to stare at a ridiculous amount of ceiling corners and analyze them for water damage and foundational cracks. But that doesn't mean that we didn't LOVE it! Listen in as Mike and Killian delve into this experimental look into what it was like to be terrified as a child and hear both of their theories as to where the hell that damn toilet went.

Mike has been waiting forever to revisit one of his all time favorite movies and, in his humble opinion, the greatest Christmas movie of all time: Gremlins! How would you fair if your pet came with a set of ridiculously meticulous rules that, if broken, would result in the serial murder of an entire town? Can Killian teach Mike a thing or two about story structure? WILL MRS. DEAGLE RUIN YET ANOTHER CHRISTMAS!?!? Tune in and fine out!

Killian takes the stage as he selects his first title for the Nightmare Network Podcast! Listen as Clive Barker's original Hellraiser goes toe to toe with David Bruckner's 2022 remake! Will the original's sweet and sultry romance-novel-meets-human-sacrifice atmosphere win out? Or will Bruckner's incorporation of mystery elements into the plot push it over the edge? Tune in as Mike and Killian solve the metaphorical sex/torture puzzle box!

The Nightmare Network Podcast is back with the season 3 premiere! Dive in as we dissect Damian Leone's indie horror epic Terrifier 2! What makes us #nightmarenerds such gluttons for punishments? Where do we see this frightening franchise going in the future? Tune in as Mike and Killian dissect the dive deep into the horror sensation!
