Slashers Podcast

On this week's episode, Doug discusses the film The Greasy Stranger and its eerie similarities with two films he directed: Gross House and Don't Touch That Dial (both available on Troma Now & B-Movie TV). 

Jake has the pleasure of sitting down with video game music maestros, Lame Genie. We talk everything from their favorite horror films, to pro wrestling, with Taco Bell patronage in between. 

This week's "Hidden Track" is Lame Genie! OBVIOUSLY! It is their cover of Jason's theme from the NES Friday the 13th. Support these goons, few artists featured on this segment have the kind of hustle and quality as them: https://lamegenie.bandcamp.com/

This week, more than most, shows why being a Patreon patron and getting the perk of early access is so ideal. When we recorded, we were awaiting the election results, which are now old news. Enjoy our trepidation at the real life horrors of politics. 

Doug presents on the 1987 film, Slaughterhouse. The film was written and directed by, Rick Roessler, who is still interested in making a sequel. 

Jake does an interview with Pierre Mortel, artist and scribe behind Sad Boy and Billy Boo. You can find his art on instagram @pierremortel. He is also very active on reddit and has his own subreddit. We discuss his creative process and the challenges he has putting out the strip in both English and French. You can find his merch at https://pierremortel.bigcartel.com/

This week's "Hidden Track" is by German horror punk band: Midnight Haunt. The song is called Frozen off their upcoming EP. Please support them at and @midnight_haunt_band on instagram.

Doug is back for another fun episode, where he talks about the film: Microwave Massacre. 

Jake does a deep dive on the Creepy Crawlers brand, which spans six decades and includes action figures, a TV show, and a long-rumored film adaptation.

Somehow I roped Jordan, from The Cult Sounds, into hosting my show. He talks about the catastrophic, yet highly entertaining Halloween 3: Season of the Witch, while I talk about the band Calabrese and interview their drummer, Davey.

Halloween 3 is often maligned for a lack of Michael Myers. To this I say... and? We both defend the film, both in its astonishing confidence, but also its competent execution. Aside from some sloggy editing, the film holds up from the masks to Tom Atkins ruling every moment of screen time.

Calabrese are a horror punk trio from Arizona, who are inconquerable and incredible. The band has been putting out consistently good (and arguably their best lately) music for over 15 years. They do a tremendous job with their merch, music videos, and crowd interaction. Please check then out basically everywhere @calabrese666

You can find Jordan's short film here: https://youtu.be/v7BaFKnzYXs and his band here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vg_jqTVWsjQ&feature=youtu.be

Liking the new format? Well we hope so. If not, please sign up to our Patreon and I will then take your input more seriously. 

This week's episode is on Pathology and All Hallow's E.P.

Adrienne introduces us to the 2008 Milo Ventimiglia and Alyssa Milano film. She even deep dives into the content and the poem from the film. The film was directed by Marc Schölermann, who does not have a Wikipedia page. It was written by Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor, the dup behind the masterful Crank series with Jason Statham. 

Jake then rambles on about AFI's finest E.P. to date. Yes, before you even ask, he talks longer than it would take you to listen to the goddam E.P. in its entirety. Can you believe this release just celebrated its 20th anniversary last year? We also talk Blaqk Audio, Xtrmst, and about 50 other bands that we enjoy and have seen over the years. Which host has the most embarrassing music-related tattoo?

Be sure to check out the "Hidden Track" this week. It is certainly... unique... and may have been recorded in an SUV inside a garage, neither of which were climate controlled.

We have talked about doing these movies before Jimmy was even on the show. Even if you hate every actor, every line, every plot point, I think that a certain amount of respect is owed to the film making and ingenuity that went into each installment of this franchise. Simply point, Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell are some legitimate legends... even if we include the woeful Spider-Man 3 and its 15 villains. 

Predominantly, we focus on Evil Dead and Army of Darkness, which are Jake and Jim's favorites respectively. We also talk about Evil Dead II, the TV show, Ash vs. the Evil Dead, comicbook adaptations, video games, and even tabletop games!

This week's "Hidden Track" is Stray the Course, with their song Better Off Lost. THey can be found at [email protected] ; https://straythecourse.bandcamp.com ; https://www.facebook.com/StrayTheCourseOfficial/  ; https://www.instagram.com/stray_the_course/

We are all in with this new format, and hope you are too. Originally, we planned to test this out and workshop it a bit, but as some of you know, we had a serious issue with a memory card that somehow snapped in half inside an adapter (which was undamaged). As a result, we lost four episodes and in order to maintain our release schedule, we adapted. 

This week we are discussing two movies that are both horror, yet somehow polar opposites. The first is Orozco the Embalmber. This film was by Kiyotaka Tsurisaki and follows a Colombian embalmer named Froilan Orozco. 

Then, we move on to Blood Machines, by French hivemind: Seth Ickerman. In reality, Ickerman is both Raphaël Hernandez and Savitri Joly-Gonfard. The duo has worked together on multiple projects and this film is actually a sequel to a music video. That project was a collaboration with Carpenter Brut for the song Turbo Killer. 

The "Hidden Track" is We're Wolf from Germany. You can find and support them here: http://www.wearewolfband.de/ ; http://soundcloud.com/wearewolfband ; @wearewolfband

Hey gang! We have a new format that we are very excited about. Basically, the show will be more show and tell, with each host bringing their own horror media selection to talk about. We figure this will eliminate simply repeating a movie beat by beat, and introduce you to more stuff like a sassy middle-aged lady's book club... but with blood! As I put it, "this is Slashers, your new favorite podcast about your new favorite horror media!"

This week, Doug is on the show. The feedback was great following his appearances on the Humanoids from the Deep and the Blood Harvest episodes. If you would like to see more of Doug on Slashers, or make him a permanent host--- LET US KNOW!

Doug talks the late-stage PS1 survival horror hack and slash/ beat 'em up: Nightmare Creatures II. 

Jake talks a 2019 Gameboy game: Deadeus. We also were fortunate enough to get an interview with -IZMA-, the creator of the game. https://www.instagram.com/iz.ma/ ; https://izma.itch.io/deadeus ; https://www.izmaillustration.com/games

If you would like to enter to win a deluxe copy of Deadeus, just post your favorite Gameboy game and tag both @slasherspod and @iz.ma on any platform! Jake will even teach you how to install an emulator to play it!

This was formerly a Patreon Bonus episode. While it may seem like a total copout, it has always bothered me that this episode was behind a paywall. Plainly, I think that my wife, Ciara, and Bryan's wife, Michelle, did a great job as "Slashettes." If you like what you hear, please let us know. It would be fun to con them into trying this again.  

The movie is The Descent, an all-female horror film for the all female hosts.

The film was written and directed by Neil Marshall. Marshall made a name for himself with Dog Soldiers, before going on to do films like Doomsday, Centurion, Tales of Halloween, and the 2019 Hellboy movie that like five people saw because they watch Stranger Things. He also directed some big-budget TV with Hannibal, Westworld, and Lost in Space. 

The music was by David Julyan, who also did The Prestige, The Descent Part 2, and The Cabin in the Woods.   

This week's "Hidden Track" is Viqueen! https://viqueen.bandcamp.com/
