Join The Horror Movie Maniacs Grant and Ben as they team with Marc to ruthlessly shatter Scott's cherished childhood memories of the beloved Jim Henson classic, Labyrinth!

For decades, Scott has clung to the notion that the 1986 fantasy epic is a beacon of pure, innocent magic, a whimsical adventure filled with catchy songs and memorable creatures. But prepare yourselves, because Grant and Ben are here to expose the truly unsettling, often predatory darker undertones lurking just beneath the film's enchanting surface.

In this eye-opening episode, we're not just re-watching Labyrinth; we're dissecting it with an adult, and perhaps slightly twisted, lens. The conversation kicks off by meticulously examining Jareth, the Goblin King, portrayed with iconic flair by David Bowie. While many remember him as a flamboyant, enigmatic rock star villain, Grant and Ben argue his true nature is far more sinister. They'll delve into his unsettling obsession with the 15-year-old Sarah, peeling back the layers of his manipulative charm to reveal a deeply possessive, almost predatory desire. Is Jareth merely trying to trick Sarah into staying, or is he actively trying to claim her, to make her his queen, bound forever to his labyrinthine domain? The hosts will dissect pivotal scenes like the "Magic Dance" and the infamous "As the World Falls Down" ballroom sequence, revealing how these visually stunning moments actually serve as potent metaphors for manipulation and psychological entrapment.

This week we are diving back into the world of M3GAN, Gemma and Cady as a new threat in the form of AI super robot Amelia emerges...

Now I am sure you are expecting us to sway in opposite ways on this movie but I guarantee not in the way you think. Mr "it's not horror, this isn't what I signed up for" loved this while Mr "its horror adjacent" is left regretting the decision to cover this.

This episode is packed with fun, interactive features and a small amount of arguing!

This week, we're diving headfirst into a true 80s cult classic that has sparked some serious debate behind the scenes: Paul Verhoeven's RoboCop (1987)!

Join us as we break down this gritty, satirical sci-fi action film set in a near-future, crime-ridden Detroit. The plot follows the brutal murder of honest police officer Alex Murphy, who is then resurrected by the Omni Consumer Products (OCP) corporation as RoboCop, a cyborg law enforcer. As RoboCop dispenses justice with extreme prejudice, fragments of his past life begin to haunt him, leading him on a path of revenge against those who took his humanity.

Expect our usual deep dive into the film's themes, iconic moments, and its lasting legacy. However, we have to address the elephant in the room: our very own Marc is adamant that this movie does not qualify to be featured on our show, arguing that it's simply not a horror movie. Is he right? Or does the sheer body horror, dystopian dread, and visceral violence push RoboCop into a genre it might not initially claim? Tune in to hear our full discussion and decide for yourself!

Get ready for a trip down memory lane that's funnier than it has any right to be! In this episode, we're diving deep into the absolute comedic chaos that is Scary Movie (2000). More than just a horror parody, this film is a vibrant, hilarious time capsule, perfectly encapsulating the late 90s and early 2000s humor, pop culture, and cinematic landscape.

From its relentless send-ups of iconic horror flicks like Scream, I Know What You Did Last Summer, and even The Matrix, to its rapid-fire gags referencing everything from "Whassup?!" to The Sixth Sense, Scary Movie is a masterclass in turn-of-the-millennium satire. We'll be breaking down what made this movie such a massive hit, why its humour still largely holds up (with a few cringe-worthy exceptions, of course!), and how it perfectly reflects the era it was made in.

Join us as we revisit the iconic characters, the unforgettable spoofs, and the sheer audacity of a film that dared to be so ridiculously funny. Whether you're a long-time fan or curious about the origins of modern parody films, this review will have you laughing and reminiscing about a truly unique period in cinematic comedy.

👻🌈 Get ready for some seriously unhinged fun! In this episode, we're diving headfirst into the delightfully campy French horror-comedy, Poltergay (2006).

Join us as we dissect the plot – three friends buy a haunted disco, only to discover the ghosts are all fabulous gay men who died in a foam machine incident in the 60s, and now they need help finding peace!

We're joined by two incredible guests: Jim from Jim's Retro Emporium and Jay from The Girl and The Gay Podcast.

Fair warning: this episode goes completely off the rails from start to finish and is laugh-out-loud funny. You won't want to miss it! #Poltergay

This is by far our most ever requested new release episode and man does it deliver.

We will bring you a detailed and opinionated about arguably the greatest vampire movie since The Lost Boys. We will also be sharing movie facts playing games and getting decidedly hung up on the about of descriptions of how to pleasure a woman in this film.

Either way this episode is one of our best and is not to be missed.

This episode also features movie facts, interactive features and a game all around campfire games that you can play along with.

There really isn't much to say on this one other than it is going to be a really good time for everyone who decides to listen.

Time to open the box!

Today we are diving into the 2022 reboot of Clive Barker's Hellraiser. This film took a much more authentic approach to the original novellas by Barker but did ditching the leather and bondage vibes help or hinder the finished product?

Well we will answer this and a tone of other questions in our review before we dive into behind the scenes facts, interactive features and a game that reveals a little too much about my clearly kinky co-host.

Well this episode happened... Not sure why our listeners voted on this Full Moon production for us to discuss, but they did, and we did.

Scott struggles for words this entire episode and stumbles over them in a very out of character on air collapse of his podcasting abilities while Marc carries the entire show.

Now the movie is not without its merits but has several things that did not resonate especially with Scott. This film however is fully parked in Marc's wheelhouse of budget 80s & 90s horror so you will get two sides to this review.

Along with the full review of Castle Freak you will also be treated to the game we are both terrible at "Guess Who" , production facts about the movie and input from our fabulous listeners.

Be sure to review us wherever you can, share the episode and drop comments.

Scott would like to apologies in advance for his incoherent bumbling and stumbling of words throughout this episode and promises to do better next week

We are joined by the incredible Alex of AMPFX studios this week. Which actually turned out to be a godsend as he was the only thing keeping me and Marc from a full scale argument over the movie.

You don't want to miss this heated and actually very balanced review of a 90's gem. Not to mention loads of productions facts interactive involvement from our listeners including some voicemails and a performance on "Broken Sprit 2.0" that will be talked about for a very long time.

If you love friends chatting movies and unfiltered thoughts with games, and fun then this is for you.
