Hoooo boy. this one was a trial to get through for everyone concerned. From the writers, filmmakers, all the way to the audience who have to resort to a producer's cut to tolerate it. Not having that on hand we had to resort to the theatrical cut of Halloween 6 for this commentary.
For our last Dis-Comfort Flick of 2026 we spotlight the best movie based on trading cards... out of both of them. That's right we are saluting Tim Burton's love letter to 50's B Movie Sci-fi and it has Tom Jones.
Many an SNL actor has had interesting career trajectories and while Joe Piscopo's definitely went into a nosedive afterwards, at least he can say he was in an insanely enjoyable horror spin on the buddy cop subgenre that has reanimated corpses, gun fights, and above all living meat. Ladies and gentlemen... this is DEAD HEAT.
When you remake a movie sometimes all you really need to do is tell it through a more current filter and for the most part William Malone's 1999 iteration of the William Castle classic, succeeds...until the last ten minutes, but we'll get to that.
It's the Halloween Season and as is our tradition we bust out our latest batch of DIS-Comfort Flicks. However we start them on a somber note as we dedicate this first week to the late great Sam Neill by spotlighting a deceptively excellent cosmic horror film from Paul W.S. Anderson
It's the beginning of October and that means we kick it off once again with our Full-Length Commentaries of the Halloween series... Downside... This year it's the Thorn Cult saga. Will Danielle Harris' preternaturally great performance carry us through?
As we transition into the Halloween Season we salute a man named Worrell... Ernest P. Worrell. A character who started as a recurring commercial spokesman, catapulted to movie stardom. His most notorious was when Ernest decided to veer into the realm of horror when "The Great Redneck Hope" faced off with a vicious troll, and not the internet kind. So join us for our last entry of "Horror-By-Proxy Month 2026" as we watch ERNEST SCARED STUPID.
You're Sam Raimi, they won't let you make that movie of "The Shadow" that you want to do. What do you do? Make your own superhero by way of The Phantom of the Opera and Quasimodo. This week we're spotlighting the movie Josh Ruben wants to reboot so badly. That's right ... It's DARKMAN.
We're pretty sure the Salem Witch Hunts would have gone a whole lot better if the way to clock a witch were anything like those portrayed in Nicholas Roeg's adaptation of the Roald Dahl classic. Today it's mice, cleavers, and Cress Soup for this edition of Horror-By-Proxy Month.
Welcome back to "Horror-by-Proxy" month. The month where we salute the flicks that may not be considered horror, but definitely walk in it's shadow. For today we salute the family that puts the "fun" in funeral. Today we salute Barry Sonnenfeld's quintessential portrayal of the Addams Family.
