The Corpse Cast Horror Podcast

On this episode of The Corpse Cast, Mike Cadaver and Matt Wall dive into two slices of late-'90s horror mayhem: Wishmaster (1997) and Wishmaster 2: Evil Never Dies (1999).

We take a look at the original film's wonderfully nasty practical effects, the memorable horror cameos, Andrew Divoff's performance as the terrifying Djinn, and what made Wishmaster such a fun addition to the '90s horror landscape. Then we crack open Wishmaster 2 and see what happens when the Djinn gets even more freedom to cause supernatural chaos.

We'll talk story, effects, performances, favorite moments, horror cameos, and whether the sequel manages to live up to the original—or simply decides to have a lot more fun with the concept.

So grab your favorite horror movie, make a wish... and be VERY careful what you ask for.

This week on The Corpse Cast, Mike and Matt pay tribute to the late, great Sam Neill by revisiting two of his best horror performances: John Carpenter’s In the Mouth of Madness and Paul W.S. Anderson’s Event Horizon.

Most people will always remember Sam Neill as Dr. Alan Grant from Jurassic Park, but horror fans know he had one hell of a genre résumé. And these two movies show exactly why he was so effective in horror.

In In the Mouth of Madness, Neill plays skeptical insurance investigator John Trent, a man convinced that everything has a rational explanation—right up until reality itself begins falling apart around him.

Then in Event Horizon, he plays Dr. William Weir, creator of an experimental gravity drive that sent a spaceship somewhere mankind was never meant to go… and brought something terrible back with it.

We talk about John Carpenter’s cosmic horror, the Lovecraft influence, Sutter Cane, the ending of In the Mouth of Madness, the infamous lost footage from Event Horizon, whether the Event Horizon actually traveled to Hell, and why Sam Neill was so damn good at playing intelligent, rational men who eventually discover that reality is much worse than they ever imagined.

Join us as we raise a glass to Sam Neill — 1947–2026.

Thanks for all the dinosaurs, madness, demons, and nightmares.

EVIL DEAD RISE vs. EVIL DEAD BURN – The New Era of Evil Dead | The Corpse Cast

The Deadites are back… and apparently they’re not going anywhere anytime soon.

This week on The Corpse Cast, Mike and Matt dig into the two newest chapters in the Evil Dead universe: Evil Dead Rise and Evil Dead Burn.

We talk about how the franchise has evolved from the cabin-in-the-woods insanity of Sam Raimi’s original films into the much darker, nastier version of Evil Dead we’re getting today. How well does Rise hold up a few years later? Does Burn feel like an Evil Dead movie, or is the franchise becoming something completely different? And just how much blood, bodily trauma, and Deadite mayhem can two grown men reasonably discuss in one podcast?

On this episode of The Corpse Cast, we dive into the surreal and dreamlike world of French cult filmmaker Jean Rollin. Known for blending gothic horror, erotic imagery, and surreal storytelling, Rollin created some of the most unusual vampire films in European genre cinema.

We explore two of his most distinctive works: Lips of Blood, a haunting tale of memory and longing that pulls its protagonist toward a mysterious castle and a forgotten vampire past, and Fascination, a hypnotic story of aristocratic decadence, ritual blood-drinking, and a thief who finds himself in far more danger than he expected.

Along the way, we talk about Rollin’s unique filmmaking style, the strange dream logic that defines his movies, and why these atmospheric vampire films have become enduring cult favorites among horror fans.

So step into the château, watch out for the scythe, and join us as we explore the eerie and hypnotic cinema of Jean Rollin.

This week on The Corpse Cast, we dive into a double feature of ooze, obsession, and full-blown body horror. We’re discussing the cult classic The Stuff and the modern nightmare The Substance to explore one disturbing question: what happens when the promise of perfection starts consuming you?

First, we dig into the bizarre 1980s satire from Larry Cohen, where a mysterious dessert sweeps the nation and turns consumer culture into a literal feeding frenzy. Then we jump into Coralie Fargeat’s brutal and stylish body-horror spectacle about youth, beauty, and the horrifying cost of trying to become a “better” version of yourself.

From killer yogurt to identity-splitting chemicals, we break down the grotesque transformations, the social commentary behind both films, and why body horror continues to be one of the most effective ways to explore our fears about control, aging, and the commodification of the human body.

Grab a spoon, take the injection, and join us as we talk about consumption, perfection, and the horror of the body turning against itself.

Blood, Tape, and Trash: Cannibal Hookers & Camp Blood | The Corpse Cast

Welcome back to The Corpse Cast, where we dig up the wildest corners of horror cinema. In this episode, we dive headfirst into the gritty world of Shot-On-Video (SOV) horror with two underground cult oddities: Cannibal Hookers (1987) and Camp Blood (2000).

First up, we talk about Cannibal Hookers, the infamous low-budget VHS nightmare packed with cults, cannibalism, and exactly the kind of chaotic filmmaking that makes SOV horror so legendary. Then we head deep into the woods with Camp Blood, a slasher staple from the late-90s DIY horror scene featuring one seriously creepy clown killer.

We break down the stories, the gore, the production madness, and why these grainy VHS-era horror films still have such a devoted cult following today. Are they hidden gems of underground horror… or just gloriously trashy midnight movie material?

Grab your popcorn, dust off the VCR, and join us as we explore the blood-soaked world of SOV horror.
