SlashBack Cinema

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.

Pack your bags and prep your pranks—we’re heading to Sleepaway Camp, where the kills are creative, the counselors are clueless, and the ending still shocks decades later.

A piano eats a girl. A head bites a butt. A cat shoots lasers from its eyes.

Welcome to the bonkers, beautiful chaos that is HOUSE (1977), the Japanese horror masterpiece that defies logic and embraces madness. 

You may never be the same after seeing this movie.
