"Be my victim"

The adaptation of Clive Barker's short story The Forbidden might be the best adaptation of his work ever put to film. With Jordan Peele's remake looming on the horizon we look at the 1992 film that changed several things from the original story but all for the better. We talk about the Toxteth Riots, the history of Cabrini-Green, and urban legends. Truly a deep dive into a fantastic film.

"We'll tear your soul apart"

The first in our series of Clive Barker focused content is the most recognizable one: Hellraiser! It introduced the world to Barker's excellent world-building abilities. We talk about bondage, the dangers of obsession, the horrors of capitalism, and the suppression of gay media. This one is very deep.

"Whatever you do, don't fall asleep"

It more or less signified the downturn and phasing out of the slasher genre in a sense. Probably because nothing that came after it quite matched the quality and brilliance that Wes Craven brought forth with Nightmare. This is the most we've ever talked about one movie and we have so much to say. We talk about dreams, good and bad sequels, and Freddie Frugal, the new mascot for Dollar Tree.

Gather around as we appreciate the crowning jewel of the slasher genre!

You might know the Misfits and the incredibly cheesy thing they have going on but did you know there's other bands like them? Did you know the Misfits created a whole subgenre essentially? Did you ever want to learn a very brief and fragmented history of the Misfits at the same time? This is the episode to do it with. Learn the art of the Woah with Horror Punk 101.

It's the first ever Kaiju film about the biggest baddest boy around: Godzilla.

1954's Gojira is much more intelligent and socially conscience than every other monster film of the same era. It not only frightens and entertains but makes a statement while doing it. It's got an equal amount of solid performances mixed with the best special effects the 50's had to offer. Join us as we discuss post-war Japan, nuclear war, and Alka-Seltzer tablets! Enjoy!

"They don't come back the same"

Pet Sematary is in a rare category of late 80's and early 90's Stephen King adaptions that is actually pretty good. It's spooky and riveting and scary all in measured amounts. Is there still a bit of the hokey-ness there? Of course, but it's a tolerable and enjoyable amount in our opinion. Join us as we talk about Native American burial grounds, the stages of grief, and The Ramones in this very eerie episode.

They can't all be winners.

In the first installment of our new sub-series "They're Bad" we talk about a real boring piece of trash: The Monster. Is it the lighting? The story? The lackluster way that most of the movie is just two people sitting in a car? It's a little bit of all of that. Join us on a new journey into shitty territory as we rightfully tear this thing apart.

It's the reason why Troma Entertainment is referred to as "The House that Toxie Built" It's the ultimate cult classic and a beacon of hope for every independent filmmaker to strive for. It's The Toxic Avenger. Few films weave a mixture of comedy, horror, violence, and social commentary quite as deftly as this film does and probably none will again. It's one of a kind. Stand to attention as we talk about one of the greatest midnight specials ever to grace a basement projector screen.

It's the film that defined the word "macabre". Saying you were scared of it as a kid might be a massive understatement. It's Tobe Hooper's horror triumph The Texas Chainsaw Massacre It's simply one of the most horrifying things ever put to film. We talk about the importance of Sally as one of the earliest final girls, Ed Gein, and why Houston sucks. Gather around as we explore one of the ultimate must-sees!
