    514 - Bubba Ho-Tep (2002) Guest: Joe Testa

    How have we not covered this yet? This week, we're heading to the strangest nursing home in movie history with Don Coscarelli's Bubba Ho-tep (2002), the cult horror-comedy that asks one unforgettable question: What if Elvis Presley and John F. Kennedy teamed up to fight an ancient Egyptian soul-sucking mummy? Starring the living legend Bruce Campbell as an aging Elvis who insists he swapped identities with an impersonator years before and Ossie Davis as a Black man who believes he's the real JFK, Bubba Ho-tep blends absurd comedy, heartfelt drama, and supernatural horror into one of the most original cult films ever made. Join us as we unpack the film's offbeat premise, memorable performances, surprising emotional depth, and why this low-budget oddity has earned such a devoted following. We'll explore its themes of aging, identity, friendship, and mortality while celebrating the bizarre charm that makes Bubba Ho-tep truly unlike anything else. Whether you're a longtime fan or discovering this cult classic for the first time, grab your favorite snack, watch out for scarabs, and settle in for a conversation that's equal parts hilarious, heartfelt, and wonderfully weird.

    512 - Cannibal Holocaust (1980) Guest: Matt Banever

    DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE! This was a tough episode for a multitude of reasons and I do not recommend watching this film ever or listening to this podcast if you are not familar with this film and what occurs during it. This is the first and last time we will watch or discuss this film. There are almost no redeemable qualities and it is grossly offensive in everyway imaginable. Shame on the director and the people involved in making and releasing this film. If you are still interested in hearing our take on it, it is here, but again please be warned, this is a rough episode.

    511 - V/H/S 1985 (2023) Guest: Andy Danish

    Uh Oh! This week, we're rewinding the tape to V/H/S/85, the sixth installment in the long-running found footage anthology series. Set against the grainy backdrop of the mid-1980s, the film delivers five blood-soaked stories tied together by a chilling documentary about a mysterious shape-shifting entity named Rory. From a cursed lake that refuses to let the dead stay dead to an ancient god awakened beneath the rubble of the 1985 Mexico City earthquake, V/H/S/85 blends practical gore, cosmic horror, and analog nightmare fuel into one of the franchise's most ambitious entries. It's also the first V/H/S film to directly connect two of its segments into a single overarching story. So Join Alec and returning guest Andy Danish as they discuss V/H/S 1985!

    510 - Silver Bullet (1985) Guest: Clint Switzer

    This week on Wheel of Horror, we're taking a trip to the small town of Tarker's Mills to revisit Stephen King's Silver Bullet, one of the most underrated werewolf/Gary Busey films of the '80s. From its unforgettable creature effects and eerie atmosphere to its coming-of-age story and shocking twists, we're breaking down everything that makes Silver Bullet howl! We discuss the performances, the practical effects, the film's connection to Stephen King's novella Cycle of the Werewolf, and whether this hidden gem still holds up nearly 40 years later. Was the werewolf reveal too early? Is Reverend Lowe one of horror's most memorable villains? And does Silver Bullet deserve more recognition among classic Stephen King adaptations? Join Alec and first time Guest Clint Switzer as we dive deep into this cult classic and separate nostalgia from nightmare.
