    The Pixelated Predator

    In this Halloween Special episode of The Offering with Jerry Horror, we boot up a forgotten horror classic from the 90s that tried to merge the world of CD-ROM gaming with the gory thrills of slasher flicks. A video game spin-off was in the works, but the plans crashed like a corrupted file when the movie failed to load up big numbers at the box office. What should’ve been a cutting-edge experience instead got stuck in the loading screen of obscurity. This film promised plenty of sick practical effects, but like deleting important game files, the censors cut a ton of gnarly gore from the final release. It’s a shame because teenage horror fans were definitely hoping for more carnage in their gameplay! However, the film’s writer hit the save button on his career, going on to write cult hits like Se7en and 8mm, along with a spiritual sequel to this film called Hideaway. Looks like he rebooted his career in a big way. So, get ready to insert the disc and download the twisted behind-the-scenes stories as Jerry takes you through this overlooked gem. If you’re nostalgic for the days of cyber-ghouls, creepy storylines, and missed opportunities in horror history, this episode is sure to reboot your spooky season vibes.

    Masters of the Video Store

    In this episode of The Offering with Jerry Horror, we high-kick our way through a 1989 action flick that packs a punch—but the story behind the scenes might just kick harder. Originally conceived as a sequel to Masters of the Universe (yes, that Masters of the Universe), this film almost got shelved until its star roundhouse-kicked his way to worldwide box office fame. Suddenly, what was destined to be a forgotten relic of the late '80s found new life thanks to its lead actor’s knack for delivering epic martial arts moves. But it’s not all kicks and glory! A stunt performer actually lost his eye during the production after a real knife was used in one of the more intense scenes. Yeah, that’s right—a guy sacrificed an eyeball to make sure the movie looked as real as possible. You can’t make this stuff up, and Jerry’s here to break down all the wild behind-the-scenes stories that took this low-budget film from the scrap heap to video store legend status. So join Jerry as he kicks open the vault and dives into the movie’s path from toy franchise wannabe to cult classic. Whether you’re a fan of action films, or just love hearing about movie sets gone wrong, this episode delivers a swift kick of entertainment that will knock you out cold. Sponsored by Mailbox Movies.

    The Doctor is Out…of His Mind!

    In this sick episode of The Offering with Jerry Horror, we scrub in for a diagnosis of a 1992 slasher that went a little mad in the operating room. As the first of three Dark Horse comic adaptations, this flick flatlined at the box office while its counterparts like The Mask and Timecop lived healthier lives. Originally meant to be a serious psychological thriller in the vein of Silence of the Lambs, this film took a sharp turn into campy slasher territory—turning a promising diagnosis into something far more routine. Unfortunately, the MPAA wasted no time in cutting away 10 minutes of blood-soaked "procedures," leaving fans feeling like the good doctor never got to show off his full surgical skillset. And, if the film had been a bigger hit, we could’ve been in for an even crazier sequel, where our psychotic physician would trade in his scalpel for a supernatural twist, creating an undead army ready for discharge. Jerry prescribes a full examination of what went wrong with this film’s prognosis and why it couldn’t revive the slasher genre as intended. Filled with medical malpractice, gory operations, and a villain who should’ve been checked into the psych ward long ago, this episode is sure to leave you feeling queasy—but in the best way possible. So, prep the OR and listen in, because this doc is out… of his mind! Sponsored by Mailbox Movies. Use the promo code 'JERRYHORROR' to get 50% off your first month.

    We Have Freddy Krueger At Home

    In this electrifying episode of The Offering with Jerry Horror, we plug into the shocking story behind a 1989 horror film that Universal hoped would zap new life into their slasher game. Desperate for their own version of a certain razor-gloved dream demon, the studio charged ahead with a new villain who was all about high voltage mayhem. Despite the jolt of excitement surrounding the film, the pressure to deliver dazzling special effects led the lead artist to suffer a complete meltdown, leaving behind a trail of sparks and shattered nerves. Surprisingly, this high-wattage horror flick generated a decent amount of buzz at the box office, leaving the director scratching his head and wondering why the current never flowed into a sequel. Adding to the film's shocking legacy, it originally received an X rating due to its intense scenes, forcing the filmmakers to cut down the voltage multiple times just to get an R rating. Join Jerry as he powers through the twists and turns of this electrifying tale, from the behind-the-scenes burnout to the studio's failed attempt to charge up a new franchise. Whether you're a fan of horror films that pack a punch or just enjoy a good Hollywood cautionary tale, this episode is sure to spark your interest.

    The Dumb Universe

    In this Monster Mash-themed episode of The Offering with Jerry Horror, we dig up the remains of another ill-fated attempt to launch a Dark Cinematic Universe. What would spooky season be without revisiting a high-budget monster flick that tried to blend action and horror but ended up six feet under in the graveyard of failed franchises? Jerry unearths the eerie secrets of this film, including how every canister was cryptically labeled “The Vatican Directive” before being unleashed in theaters—a stealthy move for a movie that couldn’t quite strike fear into the box office. The film’s leading man, known for slashing his way through enemies with sharp claws in other roles, traded in his usual gruff persona for a monster-hunting vigilante. Meanwhile, the leading lady endured a truly cursed wardrobe, spending six haunted months strapped into a corset. When filming wrapped, she didn’t just take it off—she torched it, banishing the uncomfortable relic from her life. And as if the movie’s demise wasn’t spooky enough, its planned tie-in theme park ride was given the axe, later to be resurrected as a magical attraction in a world full of wizards and witches. Join Jerry as he creeps through the shadowy history of this would-be franchise starter, revealing the chilling twists, cursed production tales, and the final nail in the coffin that sent this Dark Universe back to the Underworld. Whether you’re a fan of monstrous tales or just love a good Hollywood horror story, this episode is sure to give you a frightful delight. Tune in…if you dare! Sponsored by Mailbox Movies.

    The Greatest White Guy Karate Movie Ever Made

    In this action packed episode of The Offering with Jerry Horror, we roundhouse kick our way into the world of early 90s action cinema to explore what might just be the greatest white-guy karate movie ever made. Jerry unleashes a flurry of punches with the surprising revelation that the 1994 blockbuster Speed was originally intended as a sequel to this high-kicking adventure. Hollywood may have taken a different path, but this film still delivers a knockout punch for fans of martial arts mayhem. Our hero, who initially threw his hat in the ring for the lead role in Kickboxer, ended up stepping into the ring as a replacement for Jean-Claude Van Damme in this flick. The movie also features a breakout performance by a young Mariska Hargitay, who later became a powerhouse on Law and Order: SVU. Sadly, 90% of her scenes were chopped down like a swift karate chop. To top it off, the film packs an extra punch with the inclusion of the 90s anthem "The Power" by SNAP!, making the fight scenes hit even harder. This episode is particularly emotional for Jerry as he reflects on the impact this martial arts gem had on him. Join him as he kicks through the behind-the-scenes stories, delivers a few jabs of trivia, and throws in some heartfelt moments. Whether you're a black belt in 90s action or just love a good cinematic showdown, this episode will have you hooked from the first punch to the final round. Sponsored by Mailbox Movies.

    Who Needs the Bee Gees When You’ve Got Frank Stallone

    In this groovy episode of The Offering with Jerry Horror, we boogie down to the sequel of a beloved disco-era classic—yes, it exists, and yes, it’s just as dizzying as you’d imagine. Jerry grooves through how this film, featuring a leading man and a director known for their wild nights at Studio 54, attempted to recapture the sparkle of the original but ended up missing a few steps. Instead of the Bee Gees, this film’s soundtrack was largely carried by another musical talent: Frank Stallone. Jerry unpacks the head-scratching decision to follow up one of the 70s’ most iconic dance flicks with a sequel that traded in glittering dance floors for a routine that fell flat. Despite its high-profile connections and attempts to ride the coattails of its predecessor’s success, this film has the unfortunate honor of being the first to earn a 0% on Rotten Tomatoes—a record it’s been holding since 1998. Join Jerry as he navigates the funky moves and missteps that led to this cinematic disaster. With its connection to a disco-era cult classic and its legendary flop status, this episode offers a fascinating look at how even the most anticipated sequels can end up losing their rhythm. Whether you’re a fan of 80s films or just enjoy a good Hollywood cautionary tale, this episode will have you strutting with laughter. Sponsored by Mailbox Movies.

    Steven Seagal Is A Terrible Person

    In this absurd episode of The Offering with Jerry Horror, we take a deep dive into the chaotic production of a 1994 action film that’s as notorious for its behind-the-scenes drama as it is for its on-screen antics. Jerry unravels the mystery behind the alleged involvement of some rather unsavory characters—let’s just say, there might have been a little help from the mafia in getting this movie made. Adding to the chaos, the film's director was so paranoid that he carried not one, but two high-caliber pistols on set every single day. But the real star of this episode is the leading man—a controversial figure whose antics have earned him a lifetime ban from Saturday Night Live. That’s right, Lorne Michaels reportedly swore that this actor would never set foot in Studio 8H again, over his dead body. Jerry also uncovers the story of the film’s climactic ending, which originally featured a 40-minute soliloquy/montage that was mercifully cut down to seven minutes, sparing audiences from an even longer ordeal. Tune in as Jerry Horror pulls back the curtain on the wild and reckless making of this infamous 90s action flick. With stories that are just as entertaining as the film itself, this episode offers a fascinating glimpse into the madness that went into creating a movie that's as much of a train wreck off-screen as it is on-screen. Whether you're a fan of 90s action or just love a good Hollywood horror story, this episode has something for everyone. Sponsored by Mailbox Movies.
