Not Quite Dead

We’re kicking off spooky season with a genre of scary movies that’s fun for the whole family: Kids’ Horror! 

This season premieres with the 90s Disney cult classic Hocus Pocus. Join the NQD gals as they discuss the Sanderson sisters, the perfection of New England fall vibes, and the rules around black flame candles. 

Thank you for joining us for Season 8: Comedy! In this finale, we have some fun segments for you: mad libs, bingo, and a Cabin in the Woods inspired craft!

What kinda movie is this? A dark comedy, an homage to George Romero, a not scary movie about the end of the world? Jim Jarmusch's The Dead Don't Die might be a head-scratcher, but it's a fun one.

Join Not Quite Dead for the last movie of the horror comedy season and all of its meta humor!

The 1996 Tim Burton helmed Mars Attacks! marks a turning point in the notable filmmaker's career - and boy do the Not Quite Dead team have a lot to say about it.

As a fleet of Martian spacecrafts are invading planet Earth, it is up to the incompetent global governments, overeager American military, and hapless citizens to fight back. The cast is stacked, the CGI is campy, and the heads are enormous in this episode!

Is this a horror-comedy, or one of the best buddy comedies ever made?

The Not Quite Dead gals adore Tucker & Dale vs Evil (2011), directed by Eli Craig. The story of two redneck best friends whose  vacation is ruined when ignorant college students mistake them for serial killers is irresistible - and we hope you feel the same!

The 2009 smash hit Zombieland was the cultural phenom that brought us the concept of a double tap, reinvigorated America's love for Twinkies, and gave us one of the best Bill Murray cameos of all time.

The Not Quite Dead gals talk about the many "rules" of surviving a zombie apocalypse, the practicalities of a cross-country roadtrip, and the early 2000s appeal of Jesse Eisenberg. Starring Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone, and Abigail Breslin - don't miss this one!

Well, they're not all winners.

Scary Movie kickstarted a decade's worth of spoofs, from the long-running franchise itself to the dismal Epic/Date/Disaster Movie series. The movie has its laughs but join us in this quickie episode as Not Quite Dead tears apart the very dated jokes.

Beetlejuice....Beetlejuice....Beetleju -- Not Quite Dead!

The first of two Tim Burton-helmed flicks this horror-comedy season is Beetlejuice! With an over-the-top performance from Michael Keaton and iconic turns from Winona Ryder and Catherine O'Hara, this movie was an instant comedy classic. The Not Quite Dead gals also get into the creepiness of this movie, from post-post-modern interior design to giant limbo sandworms.

The Cabin in the Woods (2011) is a quintessential Joss Whedon flick - irreverent, effortlessly funny, and punctuated with moments of surprisingly brutal violence.

This meta horror-comedy plays on classic horror movie tropes - a group of hot college kids are stalked and murdered one by one in a remote cabin in the woods. Boring? No way. The B plot is a workplace comedy about the office workers orchestrating the murders as part of a god-appeasing ritual.
