Get ready for Hack-O-Lantern (1988) A schlocky, satanic, headbanging mess packed with awkward family moments, cheap cult rituals, and enough bad acting to fill a pumpkin patch. It’s Halloween horror at its most wonderfully awful. Shanny and Ryan ask the question - How did this ever get made?

Hey Slashers - you're officially invited to join SlashBack Cinema as we dig into 1987’s shlock-tastic horror oddity Uninvited!
Not to be confused with Uninvited (2024), The Uninvited (2025), The Uninvited (2009), or even The Uninvited (1944). Nope...this is Greydon Clark’s 1987 mutant cat classic where the horror is questionable, but the unintentional comedy is off the charts.

 Bonus: we’ve got a special guest riding along for this one!

This week, we’re packing up the moving truck and heading to the most infamous house on Long Island—The Amityville Horror (1979). But we’re not braving the flies, ghostly voices, and bargain-priced real estate alone! Joining us are Sean, Cathy, and Chris, the hosts of the podcast Weirder After Dark, and they're bringing their spooky expertise to the mix. We’ll sift through the jump scares, over-the-top acting, and that unforgettable swarm of flies to ask: is Amityville a horror… or a snooze?

Be sure to check out the first half our conversation and the true story of the house at Amityville over at Weirder After Dark  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/41-the-amityville-horror-ft-slashback-cinema/id1781476284?i=1000724491796

Summer aint over yet..join us for a tropical getaway for Lucio Fulci’s Zombie (1979) (or Zombie Flesh Eaters and also know by many other names) — the infamous Italian horror classic that brought us zombie shark-fighting, and eye-popping gore done with italian style. Join us as we break down the atmosphere, outrageous effects, and why this one still stands as a high-water mark of Euro horror.
