#TBR338 - A Tall Boy of Terror


Listen Later

Grab your popcorn and lock your doors, because this week Beans and Gaz are turning the lights down low. The boys are joined in the studio by horror aficionados Chris and Jake Montejunas—the masterminds behind the Supernatural Collaborations Media podcast and Iron Rose Customs LLC.

As it turns out, all four grew up watching gore, ghosts, and ghouls from a criminally young age, and it’s time to put that childhood trauma to good use. The crew dives headfirst into the ultimate horror debate: When it comes to the holy trinity of slashers, who reigns supreme? Is it the silent, calculated evil of Michael Myers, the relentless brute force of Jason Voorhees, or the quip-heavy nightmare fuel of Freddy Krueger?

The conversation gets bloody as they dissect the evolution of the genre, pitting the golden age of practical special effects against the glossy, modern world of CGI. Plus, they tackle the age-old question: Do horror remakes ever actually match up to the original masterpieces?

Wait, did we actually forget Clive Barker? The guys address the Cenobite in the room and debate whether they intentionally left out Hellraiser and Nightbreed, or if they just got distracted by things that go bump in the night.

Intermingled with the cinematic debates is a treasure trove of odd trivia—including the terrifying true story that loosely inspired Wes Craven to create A Nightmare on Elm Street. Finally, the crew veers way off the beaten horror path to discuss the "regular" mainstream movies that somehow managed to scare the absolute bejesus out of them.

It’s a hilarious, nostalgic, and occasionally spine-chilling episode you don't want to miss!
