To Hell with this Podcast

A trio of superbly sinister, weird and downright classic films today! 70s Catholic paranoia is in full effect in Alice, Sweet Alice (1976) featuring Brooke Shields in her first role. Next is the very short and very dark Argento Cut of George Romero's all time classic Dawn of the Dead (Don't forget to check out our video of the Monroeville Mall on our YouTube). And the last film is straight nightmare fuel, folks. The italian gore and sleaze oddity known as Burial Ground. Boy does this one get a response from the guys. Enjoy!

snippy 

|ˈsnipē | adjective 

curt or sharp, especially in a condescending way: a snippy note from our landlord.

The leaves have all changed, there's a chill in the air, tomorrow is Halloween day and it's getting snippy out there! It's a day of massacres.. And it's not just in movie form. Dave and Tom go at it again and it's a doozy. Drive-Ins, Nail Guns and it all goes to Pieces. Enjoy!

Happy Halloween 🎃 and welcome to Season 6! It’s our longest and most epic episode to date. To get ourselves in the mood for spooky season, we recorded in Dave’s torture / sex basement. Due to Tom's obsession with the Wrong Turn franchise and him paying upwards of $400 for the German box set (see his unboxing video on YouTube) we decided to review every single movie! It's an exhaustive deep dive "Diggledy" for all you 3 finger fans out there!

Enjoy!

Season 5 finale! We take on Omen IV: The Awakening, Repossessed, and the brand-new Obsession.

First up, the guys struggle through Omen IV, the 1991 made-for-TV sequel starring Faye Grant, Michael Woods, and Asia Vieira, in which a couple adopts a mysterious young girl who may be the new Antichrist. Then they revisit the unbearable horror-comedy Repossessed, directed by Bob Logan and starring Linda Blair, Leslie Nielsen, and Ned Beatty—a very dated, full-on Exorcist parody that Tom almost canceled midway through watching.

Finally, they get into 2026's Obsession, Curry Barker's breakout horror hit starring Michael Johnston and Inde Navarrette. Tom uses his One-Wish-Willow to wish the movie away while Dave wished for another cocktail.

Enjoy and see you in the fall!

This one might hold the record for shortest episode ever. Things start off with Memorial Day Massacre, a movie who's killer resembles someone in a bad Ringo Starr costume. From there, it's on to The 4th Floor, the 1999 thriller starring Juliette Lewis, William Hurt, and Shelley Duvall. Here Tom shares a story about how Austin Pendleton saw Tom in a play and paid him a compliment. Who knew Tom could act? Then Tom makes a big deal about Adam’s nuts (hint: he really wants to see them). Thankfully, the episode finally finds something worth celebrating with Lady in White. The guys watched the new Vinegar Syndrome release. Set in 1962, this supernatural mystery follows a young Lukas Haas, who encounters the ghost of a murdered girl after being locked in his school's cloakroom on Halloween. Enjoy! PS Look for this episode on Youtube soon!

This week, Tom and Dave take a trip through three movies that range from "pretty good" to "what the hell were they thinking?" First up is Tobe Hooper's least proud moment since Crocodile, The Toolbox Murders, a remake of the sick 70s slasher. Where a guy turns a trip to Home Depot into a murder spree. Then it's The Hearse, a movie that makes Dave and Tom switch opinions on the slow paced art house horror. Finally, they revisit Rage: Carrie 2, proving that the solution to teen bullying is apparently never therapy and always telekinesis. Enjoy!

This week we’re throwing three wildly different slashes of horror into the meat grinder. First up, the ultimate Friday night fever dream: Freddy vs. Jason. We finally settle the age-old debate of who would win in a fight while asking the much harder question — was this chaotic crossover actually any good, or just glorious ’00s nonsense with a body count? Then we head back to the late ’70s for the deeply unsettling Tourist Trap. Mannequins, telekinesis, and Chuck Connors doing his best impression of a deranged killer — it's equal parts creepy and completely unhinged. We discuss why it still gets under your skin decades later. Finally, we venture deep into the Amazon with Ruggero Deodato’s gory jungle sleaze-fest Cut and Run. Cannibals, drug cartels, and enough sleazy Italian exploitation energy to make you scream like Willie Aames. Enjoy!

Happy 50th episode!! Thanks to all 7 of our THWTP listeners! Tom and Dave celebrate with a little reminiscing, then they wash Adam's balls a little and then it's on the movies... These are "random off the shelf" picks. Tom picked House on Sorority Row, Dave chose Murder Set Pieces and Adam's pick is Let's Scare Jessica to Death. Enjoy!

Listener submitted movies! Tom and Dave dive headfirst into the absolute trash fire of C.H.U.D., House (1985), and Killer Klowns from Outer Space. A triple feature held together by slime, cotton candy, and other questionable substances. Between sewer freaks, haunted chaos-daddies, and homicidal clowns serving ball shaped cocoons, T&D are bickering, cackling, and dragging every moment like it personally offended them. It’s loud, it’s messy, it’s a little bit feral—and honestly, whoever submitted this understood the assignment.

Tom and Dave do a deep plunge into the strange, silver-sphere-philled world of Don Coscarelli's Phantasm — and everything that followed. The "boyssss" review the entire Phantasm saga, philm by philm, sphere by sphere, unpacking its surreal mythology, cult legacy, and decades-spanning characters. Tons of Tall Man talk, folks. Enjoy!
