Happy Horror Tim‪e‬ Tim Murdock & Matt Emert

Wacky, insane, WTF... all ways to describe the thrillers we discuss this week. From an influencer being punked/harassed/stalked with Scream-style phone calls in “Shook,” to watching Nicolas Cage face off (get it?) against possessed animatronics in “Willy’s Wonderland,” there’s plenty of crazy to go around.

Longtime friend of HHT, Melanie Kinnaman was fierce AF when she faced off against the Jason copycat killer as Pam Roberts in “Friday the 13th: A New Beginning.” Tune in to hear all about filming this polarizing sequel, who hit on her during the shoot, and the true story behind her infamous disappearing pink sweater!

Jared Leto playing an eccentric character? An old hotel toying with the minds of its guests? Where have we seen this before? ;) The two films we discuss this week, “The Little Things” and “The Night,” both attempt to put their own stamp on some tried and true horror tropes. Tune in to hear which was successful and which, not so much.

Erika Anderson’s death scene in “A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child” was a gruesome delight that spawned one of Freddy Krueger’s most iconic lines. Tune in to hear all her amusing stories about the film, the creepy prop she kept from the set, and what her mom did one Halloween at school that made her classmate wet his pants.

This week we shift from cinematic horror to real-life horror to discuss Netflix’s four-part docuseries, “The Night Stalker: The Hunt for a Serial Killer” along with our special guest – Happy Horror Time Co-Producer and host of the true crime podcast, “Crime of Your Life” – Jacob Randall.

This week we discuss two films that aren’t traditional horror flicks, but still bring thrills and suspense to the screen. There’s tons to unpack (and tons to appreciate) in the all-too-real black comedy thriller, “Promising Young Woman,” and “Horizon Line” brings terror to the skies while showing how totally normal it is to walk outside a moving plane!
