The Cinebytes

Happy holidays one and all from The Cinebytes HQ! Here's hoping the season has been good to you thus far. We've got a special holiday episode all queued up for you, just in time to provide some entertainment while we wait on "the big fat creeper" to wiggle his way down the chimney tonight! Join Dusty and Jason as they talk about a movie that's starting to find a little footing in the cult classic department - Mike Dougherty's Krampus, from 2015!

We get a little silly with some gingerbread men, a little serious with Omi's possible past as an SS officer, and a little magical with the GOAT, ol' Kringe Kringle himself!

So come have some fun with us as we wrap up 2024, encase it in a snow globe and send it to purgatory where it belongs!

SCARY KRAMPUS TO ALL, AND TO ALL, SOME FUN FRIGHTS!

Come and get it, y'all! Dinner is ready and the Sawyer boys are HUNGRY. Join Jason and Dusty this week as they serve up a delectable discussion on the classic Tobe Hooper MASTERPIECE that is The Texas Chain Saw Massacre from 1974! What style of barbecue does Drayton specialize in? Did that guy from the gas station ever actually succeed in sufficiently cleaning a single windshield? Why do so many of The Cinebytes recent episodes feature food, conventionally or otherwise? Nubbins has finished all his grocery shopping, Leatherface has trimmed it up nicely for us, and Drayton has cooked it to perfection, so all this and more will be discussed once you hit the play button! Tell your friends! Always room for another place setting :-) .

Well, howdy there, Pilgrims! The Cinebytes are here to wish you and yours a very happy and healthy holiday season. This year, forget about football and parades. Instead, feel free to dig in to this delicious episode on the Eli Roth film (yep, him again) - "Thanksgiving" from 2023! There is a veritable cornucopia of fun to be had as we talk turkey all about this family holiday classic! The warm and fuzzy memories are turned up to 11, and so is the oven. So, put on some enormous ear muffs (check to make sure there's nothing "stabby" in them first), hop in the family station wagon and join us around the table...there's always room for one more!

Attention, listeners! We interrupt your regularly scheduled programming to bring you a special news bulletin from the WZMB network! These are the facts as we know them...

Ordinary looking citizens in the Willard PA area seem to be attacking and consuming the flesh of other ordinary looking citizens! Graveyards, diners, random barns...NOWHERE IS SAFE! Our advice is to get to the nearest farmhouse, seal yourself in the cellar and set your truck on fire! Not necessarily in that order.

That's what we're gonna do anyway. So feel free to join us as we talk about the granddaddy of all zombie movies - Night of the Living Dead (1968)!

Happy Halloween, pleasure seekers! Welcome BACK to Oblivion!

It's The Cinebytes birthday!

As our loyal listeners will remember, exactly one year ago today, we released our very first full-length feature film review episode on the OG Hellraiser from 1987. For this year's special holiday release, we couldn't think of anything better than revisiting the franchise that got us going! As a special Halloween treat, we brought back Nick Cummins, a.k.a., The Nickromancer to chat about this nightmare with us. We know how much he loves all this ooey-gooey goodness...

No need to ring any doorbells here, just put on your costume, grab your candy bag and come on in to join us while we explore the depraved hellscape that is 1988's Hellbound: Hellraiser II!

No costume? No worries! I'll get you clothes. I can do that. I'm a doctor.

Greetings, guys and ghouls! We invite you to pull up a log and join us around the campfire for a fun little hangout episode! No movie review today since we've got Hellbound: Hellraiser II comin' at ya ON Halloween (Happy Official First Birthday by the way, The Cinebytes!).

Instead, we're gonna kick back and reminisce about anything and everything we enjoy about the greatest holiday in the world...Halloween! What's your favorite candy? Do you have any MUST WATCH movies you're obligated by Halloween law to pop into the DVD player at least once while the calendar still reads "October"? When it comes to haunted houses, do you prefer making one in your front yard, going to one someone else already did all the work for, or quietly living in one and hoping the ghost stays on "their side"?

All these questions and more will be addressed in this episode, so bring your dirty pillowcases full of your trick or treating loot, grab some totally not spiked apple cider and press play now!
