April 17, 2019 Return of the Killer Tomatoes (1988)
Return of the Killer Tomatoes is so much fun, we invited a special guest, Rob Krosky, to join in the review this week. As far as the cast and crew’s credentials and careers, the only real noteworthy actors are George Clooney (From Dusk till Dawn, Return to Horror High, Batman & Robin) and John Astin (The Addams Family, Batman (no, seriously, he played The Riddler in 2 episodes). This film would later be adapted into a cartoon show called Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, which ran for just over one year, where Astin would reprise his role.

April 10, 2019 The Lost Boys (1987)
What better movie to review when oldening than the one that promises eternal youth for bloodshed?! This week, we review The Lost Boys, starring Jason Patric as Michael, Mike, Mikey, Mikowski. His brother, Sam, is played by the late Cory Haim, while his mother is played by Academy Award Winner, Dianne Wiest (Edward Scissorhands, Hannah and Her Sisters). Horror veteran, Corey Feldman (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The Goones, Friday the 13th Part IV: The Final Chapter) plays Edgar Frog, half of Santa Carla's local vampire patrol. When Michael, Mike, Mikey, Michelangelo falls for Star, played by Jami Gertz (Sixteen Candles, Less than Zero, Solarbabies), he comes into the haunting gaze of the leader of the Lost Boys: David. David is played by Keifer Sutherland (24, Young Guns, Flatliners), who shockingly has the least lines of any major character in the film. You would never know it based on his performance.
The goons tackle trivia, give the main players nicknames, and rank the film against THE PANTHEON OF SLASHERS!!!

April 03, 2019 Street Trash (1987)
While not a Troma film in name, Street Trash definitely fits the bill in spirit. This film is one of the most revered “melt movies,” spawning several imitators. Originally, director, James Muro Jr., created a 15-minute short film of the same name. He later teamed with his former professor at the School of Visual Arts in New York City and screenwriter, Roy Frumkes, to turn the gross out short into a feature film. Of note, Roy Frumkes played the pie face zombie in Dawn of the Dead, and his likeness can be seen on many posters for Street Trash, as the businessman soaked in yellow acid.
The basic plot revolves around a local dump and a ragtag group of miscreants and derelicts, all trying to get their hands on some Tenafly Viper. What they don’t know, is that this wine is made of something far worse than sour grapes, resulting in some tremendous effects.
While none of the actors went on to major onscreen success, director James Muro Jr. would later be the Steadicam operator for The Abyss, Terminator 2: Judgment Day, True Lies, and Titanic. Sadly, he never returned to direct another feature film, only occasionally directing TV after Street Trash.
The film mainly stands out for its makeup effects, headed by Jennifer Aspinal. You may recall that Aspinal had worked on Toxic Avenger, Twisted Souls, and Spookies, before abandoning the horror genre to work on SNL and Mad TV.If you ever have feedback or recommendations on future episodes, please let us know at [email protected].

March 27, 2019 The Running Man (1987)
A schlocky action movie on your favorite horror movie podcast? Yup. Why? Because we felt like it. Also, this movie is based on a novella of the same name, written by Stephen King (under his Richard Bachman pseudonym). Also also, there is a murderer who wields a bladed hockey stick and literally epitomizes the name of this show. Though it was released in 1987, it feels more like 1984, given the military state in power. The story follows Arnold Schwarzenegger (Terminator, Conan the Barbarian, Total Recall) as Ben Richards, a man framed for the murder of innocent civilians because he would not comply with heinous orders from his superiors. After breaking free from prison, he kidnaps Maria Conchita Alonso (Predator 2, Scarface, Lords of Salem) as Amber Mendez, in order to get away. Richards is once again apprehended and thrown into a gameshow where the greatest prize one can win, is their own life. Richards and his friends are chased down by violent gladiators Sub Zero, Buzzsaw, Dynamo, Fireball, and kinda Captain Freedom (Jesse Ventura- Predator, The X-Files, Demolition Man).

March 20, 2019 Ice Cream Man (1995)
Ice Cream Man, a horror movie starring professionally unsettling, Clint Howard, whose face only a rich, talented older brother could love. Clint has been in the industry since he was two years old, ranging from The Andy Griffith Show to The Waterboy with Blubberella and Evilspeak in between. He even started a band called The Kempsters back in the 1980s. In this film, by a porn director attempting reformation, Clint's character kills David Naughton (An American Werewolf in London) with a waffle iron and gives a kid a case of Stockholm Syndrome with sprinkles on top.

March 17, 2019 Bonus- Leprechaun 4: In Space (1996)
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Sure it’s a holiday about driving allegorical snakes out of Ireland and not debauchery, leprechauns, and lucky charms, but we figured there was no better way to celebrate than a bonus episode reviewing Leprechaun 4: IN SPACE!
Warwick Davis reprises his role as the titular leprechaun, in his quest to wed an alien princess and take over the galaxy. The film parodies Alien, Aliens, 2001: A Space Odyssey, The Fly, and many others. While it is not art in its purest form, it is definitely worth the watch.

March 13, 2019 Leprechaun (1993)
"Your luck just ran out," because Slashers is back with a new episode. This file stars a debuting Jennifer Aniston (Friends, Horrible Bosses, Quantum Leap), opposite Warwick Davis (Star Wars, Life's Too Short, Harry Potter, Willow). The film was written and directed by Mark Jones, a veteran of children's programing and it certainly shows in this film, which is more silly than scary. This film ultimately spawned numerous sequels, which range from "da hood," to da outer space. If you ever have feedback or recommendations on future episodes, please let us know at [email protected].

March 06, 2019 Castle Freak (1995)
It’s that time again, goons: another episode of whimsy, fart jokes, and gore. This week we review Stuart Gordon’s Castle Freak.
The film starts Jeffrey Combs and Barbara Crampton, both having starred in Re-Animator and From Beyond, also by Stuart Gordon. Combs (The Pit and the Pendulum, The Man with Two Brains, Frightmare) plays recovering alcoholic, John Reilly, who inherits an entire castle from an aunt he never knew. His wife, Susan, played by Crampton (Chopping Mall, Puppet Master: The Littlest Reich, You’re Next) is coming to terms with a tragic mistake John made nine months prior. While taking an inventory of the castle for liquidation, the Reilly family finds there is something much more nefarious than a wine cellar under their feet…
This creature feature (which is strange to say, because the creature is a human man) is very loosely based on the H.P. Lovecraft story, The Outsider. Makeup effects were by Everett Burrell (Pan’s Labyrinth, Night of the Living Dead, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie), Mike Measimer (The Blob, Space Truckers, Demon Wind), and John Vulich (Cyborg, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Babylon 5).If you ever have feedback or recommendations on future episodes, please let us know at [email protected].

February 27, 2019 Carrie (1976)
This film is based on the first novel written by acclaimed horror writer, Stephen King (IT, The Shining, 'Salem's Lot, Pet Sematary).
Brian De Palma (Dressed to Kill, The Untouchables, Phantom of the Paradise) was in the director’s chair for this production, leading a tremendous cast and meeting his future wife.
The film stars Academy Award Winner, Sissy Spacek, as the titular Carrie. Her mother, Margaret White, is played by Academy Award Nominee, Piper Laurie. A young John Travolta (Saturday Night Fever, Face Off, Phenomenon) plays the cruel Billy Nolan, while his scheming girlfriend, Chris Hargensen, is played by Nancy Allen (Robocop 1-3). P.J. Soles (Stripes, The Devil’s Rejects, Halloween) plays one of Chris’ lackeys with possible the worse bangs ever to grace the silver screen. While undoubtedly less polarizing than The Shining, it does differ from the book, which we address. The essence remains the same across platforms (even the terrible musical): a bullied girl gets revenge using telekinesis.
