    Ep 153 - TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE Sequels, Prequels, Remakes, and Reboots!

    THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE 2 (1986) d. Tobe Hooper (USA) LEATHERFACE: TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE III (1990) d. Jeff Burr (USA) TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE: THE NEXT GENERATION (1995) d. Kim Henkel (USA) THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE (2003) d. Marcus Nispel (USA) THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE: THE BEGINNING (2006) d. Jonathan Liebesman (USA) TEXAS CHAINSAW 3D (2013) d. John Lussenhop (USA) LEATHERFACE (2017) d. Alexandre Bustillo/Julien Maury (USA) TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE (2022) d. David Blue Garcia (USA) Tonight, we're firing up our collective McCullochs and taking a trip through one of the most bizarre and tangled family trees in horror history: The Texas Chain Saw Massacre franchise. As fans know, Tobe Hooper's classic 1974 film eventually yielded an entire franchise—one filled with sequels, prequels, remakes, reboots, retcons, and enough continuity headaches to make both the Sawyer AND the Hewitt families scramble for their handy almanacs. Over the next 20 years, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 (1986), Leatherface: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre III (1990), and Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation (1995) each took the series in wildly different directions. Then came the Platinum Dunes era with The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003) and its prequel The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning (2006), introducing the franchise to a new generation, and kicking off the remake spree of the early 2000s. As if things weren't complicated enough, the timeline was rebooted again in 2013 with Texas Chainsaw 3D, which ignored the other films and positioned itself as a direct follow-up to the 1974 original. That was followed by Leatherface (2017), an origin story exploring the character's early years, and finally Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2022), another legacy sequel that revisited the events (and characters) of the original movie while carving out its own slice of history and social commentary. Now, let's be honest—not every TCM entry is a masterpiece. Some are beloved, some are controversial, and some have inspired horror fans to endlessly argue over where they fit into the timeline. But that's part of the fun. Every film, regardless of its reputation, is an attempt to expand the mythology of one of cinema's most iconic creations. So fill your BBQ plate and join AC and his buzz-worthy panel of guests (Dan Caffrey, Chelsea David, Jonathon Lucas, Ryan Olson, Tim Palace) as we explore the sequels, prequels, remakes, and reboots that transformed a single low-budget masterpiece into the genre's most enduring, frustrating, and fascinating franchises! --------------------------------------------------- DAN CAFFREY is a Brooklyn-based playwright, screenwriter, podcaster, and lifelong horror fan Caffrey currently co-hosts The Losers' Club: A Stephen King Podcast and Halloweenies: A Horror Franchise Podcast, both on Bloody Disgusting's podcast network, Bloody FM.

    Ep 152 - THE CRAFT (1996): 30 YEARS OF "Light as a Feather, Stiff as a Board!"

    THE CRAFT (1996) d. Andrew Fleming (USA) THE CRAFT: LEGACY (2020) d. Zoe Lister-Jones (USA) Directed by Andrew Fleming and written by Peter Filardi, The Craft follows four teenage girls, Sarah (Robin Tunney), Rochelle (Rachel True), Bonnie (Neve Campbell), and Nancy (Fairuza Balk) who form a coven and discover that their growing magical abilities come with consequences. While the film delivers memorable scares and thrills, its enduring appeal comes from its exploration of friendship, alienation, power, and the desire to belong. Long before social media popularized modern witch aesthetics, The Craft introduced many young viewers to imagery and themes associated with contemporary paganism and occult traditions. Its fashion—dark clothing, chokers, platform shoes, and gothic-inspired looks—helped define a generation of alternative style and continues to influence fashion trends today. At a time when many horror movies focused on female characters primarily as victims, The Craft gave its protagonists agency, ambition, and complexity. The story's examination of how power can corrupt remains one of its most compelling elements, adding depth beyond the typical teen horror formula. While also a commercial success at the time of its release, The Craft has gone on to achieve true cult-classic status, celebrated for its memorable performances, quotable dialogue, and distinctive atmosphere. Its influence is strongly felt in popular culture with books, TV shows, and movies about witches, female friendships, and supernatural empowerment thriving today, ensuring that its legacy remains as powerful as ever. Join AC and his all-powerful panel of guests (Dino Clark, Anna Maurya, Jennifer Olson, Jordy Sirken) as we celebrate 30 years of THE CRAFT!! ------------------------------------------ DINO CLARK has been a horror fan since he was a wee lad, after his parents bought their first VCR in the mid-80s.

    Ep 151 - 50 Years of THE OMEN (1976): "It's All for You, Damien!"

    THE OMEN (1976) d. Richard Donner (USA) DAMIEN: OMEN II (1978) d. Don Taylor (USA) THE FINAL CONFLICT (1981) d. Graham Baker (USA) OMEN IV: THE AWAKENING (1991) d. Jorge Montesi/Dominique Othenin-Girard (USA) THE OMEN (2006) d. John Moore (USA) THE FIRST OMEN (2024) d. Arkasha Stevenson (USA) The success of William Friedkin's The Exorcist in 1973 sparked any number of cheapie imitations, spawning an entire subgenre of occult and possession-themed features. What sets The Omen apart from these is screenwriter David Seltzer and director Richard Donner's thoughtful adherence to a rigid universe of logic and plausibility; all of the bizarre tragedies surrounding the Thorns could be justified as pure coincidence and/or freak accidents, without any supernatural leanings. This grounding in reality, further anchored by Peck's stolid presence, turned what could have been a schlocky exercise in exploitation into a prestige picture that demanded attention and (occasionally grudging) respect. In addition to the spectacular set-pieces orchestrated by effects wiz John Richardson, the film is extremely well-shot by British all-star Gilbert Taylor (who would lens Star Wars the following year) and populated by a fantastic ensemble that includes Patrick Troughton as a tormented priest, Leo McKern as a crusty archaeologist, David Warner as a cynical photojournalist, and Billie Whitelaw as our nefarious nanny Ms. Baylock. Even critics who disliked the film could not argue its merits, with Jerry Goldsmith's haunting choral-tinged score receiving the most praise (and an Academy Award). Spawning two theatrical sequels, a made-for-TV sequel, a 2006 remake, a 2016 television series, and a 2024 prequel, the influence of The Omen has been felt for 50 years and belongs on every horror fan's Anti-Christmas wish list. Join AC and his devilish panel of guests (Jenn Adams, Chris Hainsworth, Katie McLean Hainsworth, Dwan L. Hearn, Kevin Matthews) as we celebrate a half-century of THE OMEN!!  -------------------------------------------------------- JENN ADAMS is a writer and podcaster from Nashville, TN.

    Ep 150 - INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS (1956–2007) - "They're Coming! They're Here Already!"

    INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS (1956) d. Don Siegel (USA) INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS (1978) d. Philip Kaufman (USA) BODY SNATCHERS (1993) d. Abel Ferrara (USA) THE INVASION (2007) d. Oliver Hirschbiegel (USA) The theme of an alien entity occupying or replacing the bodies of those nearest and dearest to us had been utilized in horror cinema throughout the years. But it is producer Walter Wanger's 1956 production of Invasion of the Body Snatchers, directed by Don Siegel, and starring Kevin McCarthy and Dana Wynter, which has come to exemplify the concept. The legacy of the 1956 original endured through countless theatrical reissues and television viewings, establishing itself as one of the high-water marks of '50s sci-fi cinema. However, director Philip Kaufman's worthy 1978 update proved to be reverential to its predecessor whilst striking its own quirky, innovative, and more graphic chords, with surprising scenes of PG-rated violence and nudity. Two other official adaptations followed, 1993's Body Snatchers and 2007's The Invasion, both of which suffered the indignities of studio interference and failed to land with viewers or critics. The legacy of the Body Snatchers remains alive and well, reflecting back our worst fears, as well as exploring the eternal struggle of being human. It's no wonder that scholars and critics have found Finney's story and its four official film adaptations perfect subjects for social commentary. From Communist red scares to self-preoccupied "Me Generations" to militarized mindsets, the shoe continues to fit each and every generation. Join AC and his incredible panel of guests (Dodd Alley, Christianne Benedict, Neil Calderone, Mike Mayo, John Kenneth Muir) as we celebrate 70 years of INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS! ------------------------------------------------- DODD ALLEY is an author (Gamers and Gorehounds: The Influence of Video Games on the Contemporary American Horror Film) and has a Masters in Film Studies from Ohio University, where he taught courses on Cult Cinema and Hollywood Reflexive films.

    Ep 149 - STEVEN SPIELBERG'S DUEL (1971): STILL ALIVE AND DRIVING AT 55!!

    DUEL (1971) d. Steven Spielberg (USA) Adapted by Richard Matheson from his original short story, Duel follows traveling salesman David Mann (Dennis Weaver) as a routine drive through the California desert turns into a relentless pursuit by a mysterious tanker truck and its unseen driver. Director Steven Spielberg and his expert team exploit that simple premise with remarkable precision. Every stretch of empty highway, every glance in the rearview mirror, becomes charged with dread. The truck itself emerges as one of the great monsters of 1970s cinema: a growling, smoke-belching machine with no clear motive beyond intimidation and destruction. As a historical artifact, what makes Duel so fascinating is how completely Spielberg understood visual storytelling from the beginning. The dialogue is sparse, character details are minimal, and exposition is kept to a bare minimum. Meanwhile, suspense is built almost entirely through editing, camera placement, and sound design. Spielberg turns gas stations, roadside diners, school buses, and open desert landscapes into arenas of psychological warfare. Viewed today, Duel is both a self-contained masterpiece and a blueprint for Spielberg's future. Its themes of ordinary people confronting overwhelming forces, its meticulous suspense mechanics, and its instinct for audience identification echoes throughout films like Jaws, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Jurassic Park, and beyond.

    Ep 148 - HOMICIDAL & MR. SARDONICUS (1961): The Gimmicks and Ghouls of WILLIAM CASTLE!!

    HOMICIDAL (1961) d. William Castle (USA) MR. SARDONICUS (1961) d. William Castle (USA) Few filmmakers in American horror are remembered as vividly—or as superficially—as William Castle. Mention his name and most movie fans immediately think of outrageous theatrical gimmicks: skeletons flying over audiences, theater seats rigged with buzzing devices, or insurance policies handed out in the lobby. But the enduring popularity of those gimmicks has also has had the unfortunate effect of overshadowing the films themselves. This becomes especially evident when discussing 1961's Homicidal and Mr. Sardonicus. Both films demonstrate a director refining his approach while still embracing his flair for audience participation. Homicidal, Castle's audacious answer to Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho, combines lurid storytelling with genuinely unsettling atmosphere, prompting an onscreen "Fright Break" just before the climax, while Mr. Sardonicus delivers a stylish Gothic morality tale wrapped inside one of Castle's most famous interactive gimmicks, The Punishment Poll. Castle understood pacing, audience psychology, and the uniquely communal thrill of watching horror with a crowd. The gimmicks may have brought audiences into the theater, but it is the movies themselves that have kept us entertained for generations. Join us AC and his Castle Freaks (Jessica Dwyer, Matt Harding, Dan Kiggins, John Pata) as we celebrate 65 years of HOMICIDAL and MR. SARDONICUS!! -------------------------------------------------------- JESSICA DWYER was raised on a diet of Dark Shadows, Doctor Who, and a lot of things she saw way too young.  She's been writing for nearly a quarter of a century about the world of entertainment and her own fiction (and that sound you heard was her bones turning to dust.)

    Ep 147 - THE HOWLING & AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON - The Lycanthrope Classics That Changed It All

    THE HOWLING (1981) d. Joe Dante (USA) AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON (1981) d. John Landis (UK/USA) In the spring and summer of 1981, werewolf cinema underwent a radical transformation—not through one film, but two. Released just months apart, The Howling and An American Werewolf in London didn't just revive a fading subgenre—they redefined what cinematic horror could look and feel like. Directed by Joe Dante and co-written by John Sayles and Terence H. Winkless, The Howling blends satire, psychological horror, and media critique. Its cast includes Dee Wallace, Patrick Macnee, and Dennis Dugan, who ground the film's increasingly surreal descent into lupine terror. The groundbreaking transformation sequences were brought to life by effects artist Rob Bottin, whose work pushed the limits of prosthetics and animatronics, delivering visceral, tactile horror that audiences had never seen before. Meanwhile, across the Atlantic, John Landis wrote and directed An American Werewolf in London, a film that boldly fused outright comedy with genuine dread. Starring David Naughton, Griffin Dunne, and Jenny Agutter, the film follows two young Americans whose backpacking trip turns nightmarish after a brutal attack on the moors. The iconic, and agonizing, on-screen transformation—was crafted by legendary makeup artist Rick Baker. His revolutionary efforts earned the very first official Academy Award for Best Makeup, legitimizing special effects artistry as a cornerstone of cinematic achievement. Together, these films reshaped horror in profound ways. They elevated practical effects to an art form, influenced generations of filmmakers, and proved that horror could evoke both screams and belly laughs. Whether through Dante's subversive Hollywood satire or Landis's genre-blending bravado, The Howling and An American Werewolf in London remain towering achievements—twin pillars of lycanthrope cinema whose combined legacy still howls through the genre today.

    Ep 146 - PAN'S LABYRINTH (2006) - Guillermo del Toro's Dark Fantasy Classic Turns 20!!

    PAN'S LABYRINTH (2006) d. Guillermo del Toro (Mexico/Spain) Revisiting Guillermo del Toro's metaphorical masterpiece combining dark real-world horror (Franco's civil war-torn Spain) with children's fantasy, it's a little surprising to realize that this, his last Spanish-language movie, was released two decades ago. For me personally, whether directing (Cronos, The Devil's Backbone) or producing (The Orphanage, Biutiful, Julia's Eyes), everyone's favorite Mexican-born monster kid delivers his best work in his native language. As diverting and visually imaginative as his Hollywood popcorn efforts like Pacific Rim and the Hellboy movies are, the heart, depth, and intellect of his more "personal" films resonate on a completely different level. Interweaving fantasy and reality, visual poetry with graphic violence, Pan's Labyrinth is an incredible cinematic experience, with astonishing production/set design, Guillermo Navarro's cinematography, and breathtaking makeup designs, each earning Oscars in their respective fields. The film also was nominated for Javier Navarrete's exquisite musical score, del Toro's brilliant screenplay, and Best Foreign Film. Within the incredible ensemble, special notice goes out to Maribel Verdu as the duplicitous housemaid Mercedes, Sergi Lopez's military and all too human monster, and Ivana Baquero as Ofelia, whose guileless central performance anchors the picture. A unequivocal must-see, the film continues to reward after countless viewings through various lenses, like every classic fairy tale. Join AC and his incredible panel of guests (Michelle Kisner, Tyler Pistorius, Lee Price, Elena Romea, Maura Sarazen) as we celebrate 20 years of PAN'S LABYRINTH!! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- MICHELLE KISNER is a film critic, freelance writer, and physical media advocate.
