    New Horror Movies Ep. 174: Merry Frankensteinian Christmas

    Merry Frankensteinian Christmas from Jay of the Dead's New Horror Movies, The Christmas Morning of Horror Movie Podcasts! Releasing on December 25, 2025, the festive Horror Avengers bring you a magnificent monster mash stitched together from October and November recordings and joyfully re-gifted as a full-blown holiday special. This memorable episode earns its place in show history by featuring one Horror Avenger's Specialty Segment twice(!) in the same episode! While holiday lights glow and carols echo, your favorite hosts chime in interstitially with seasons greetings. Nearly everyone shows up to celebrate (with a couple of absences blamed on a suspicious trip to the dog track). The entire affair is capped by Jay's own original dark Christmas carol, "The Tiny King," a grim yet hopeful closer that might be the closest thing to a Horror Christmas carol. The episode itself is packed tighter than Santa's sack, har har, with new Horror movie reviews recorded "in the field," classic black-and-white chills, and a centerpiece deep dive into Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein — complete with a clear spoiler warning for listeners. Jay of the Dead, Dr. Walking Dead, Dr. Shock, Gillman Joel, and Mackula gather around the slab to debate monsters, their meaning, and modern myth-making, while Mackula's enthusiasm climbs sky-high in true festive fashion across the episode's classic and contemporary picks. From an in-person recording of Jay and Dr. Bishop as they review "Shelby Oaks" and "Dream Eater" inside Jay's car together — to vintage chills and a surprisingly merry detour into "Predator: Badlands" — Episode 174 feels like a snowy marathon of bolts, bells, snowballs, and body parts — equal parts reverent, ridiculous, and heartfelt. By the time the bubble lights stop bubbling and the final notes of "The Tiny King" fade out, listeners are left with a warm glow, a few scorch marks, and the firm belief that this really is The Gold Standard of Holiday Horror Movie Podcasts.

    Happy Thanksgiving! It's Turkey Day, dammit, and you're listening to Jay of the Dead's New Horror Movies, The Wild Turkey of Horror Movie Podcasts! Here in Episode 172, your hosts Jay of the Dead and Mister Watson endeavor to elicit an environment of the last Thursday in November in America! That's right! Upon listening to this decadent yet delectable detritus, drizzled with down-home, delightful domestication, you will be whisked away (not folded nor mixed), but whisked away into an audio podcast that blends 2025 New Horror Movie reviews, some faint comedy, and a dinner party vibe with A New Horror Movies Thanksgiving — With Jay of the Dead and Mister Watson. Now then, if you choose to join us for this audiophile's feast, then you will hear reviews of the following, 2025 New Horror Movies. And please note: We are most careful NOT to reveal any spoilers; so even if you have not seen these films yet, you are in good, safe hands with Mister Watson and Jay of the Dead! The films we review during this episode are A Desert (2025), HIM (2025), Marshmallow (2025), The Strangers: Chapter 2 (2025), Vicious (2025), Bone Lake (2025), MONSTER ISLAND (2025), Good Boy (2025), The Ugly Stepsister (2025), The Long Walk (2025), and for The Final Cut segment, we bring you a must-see Horror flick from last year, Pater Noster and the Mission of Light (2024). And in addition to these reviews, you will hear Jay of the Dead explain exactly what he means when referring to a film as a "cinematic oddity," making a distinction between intentionally bizarre films versus movies that just wind up being bonkers and "out there." Mister Watson and Jay have an in-depth discussion about the appropriate approach for dealing with others who break social norms. And over dinner, Watson regales us with a tale from 2015 when Jay of the Dead used his podcaster's siren song to lead Dustin astray with a mermaid on date night! Also, Jay tries to persuade Watson to stop feeding his "good, little, chonky boys" (raccoons) before one of them eats his face off. And in a rare and special treat, Mister Watson tells us the remarkable true story of Hachiko the dog. Plus, we have some very special segments pertaining to Thanksgiving-related trivia, Thanksgiving Cooking With Cousin Kellie and Jay's Necro-MOM-icon in West Virginia, and the next chapters in the Dave Becker baler saga!

For those who haven't heard our sister Horror show, Horror Movie Weekly, this particular episode of NHM will give a great sense of it.

  7. New Horror Movies Ep. 168: Revised Top 10 All-Time Best Horror Movies – Featuring Dr. Rick Moody

    OCT 31

    New Horror Movies Ep. 168: Revised Top 10 All-Time Best Horror Movies – Featuring Dr. Rick Moody

    Happy Halloween 2025! In this electrifying Halloween Special, Jay of the Dead and Mackula welcome esteemed guest, Dr. Rick Moody, retired film professor and first-time podcaster, for a very controversial and unconventional "count-up" of their Revised Top 10 All-Time Best Horror Movies! Dr. Moody is one of Jay of the Dead's mentors, and he was also the film professor of three Horror Avengers: Jay, Mackula and Dr. Walking Dead Kyle Bishop! Doc Moody was formerly more into disturbing Horror movies but has since mellowed in recent years. Even so, he remains a big fan and connoisseur of Found Footage and lesser-known Horror content found on YouTube! But back to this show… As Doc Moody would say, Episode 168 "delivers the goods" with not one but three Top 10 lists, and trust us, you've never heard all-time favorite Horror lists like these before! Y'all are probably gonna have kittens! Along the way, the hosts pay tribute to the late Diane Keaton, discuss Shelley Duvall as Mackula's "cinema mom," and reflect on the eerie setting of this episode, as it was recorded during an atmospheric and formidable, Utah thunderstorm. As each movie pick is revealed, the conversation meanders off into relevant and random tangents about some of Horror's dark corners, such as "Experiential Horror." During this show, we also reveal which Horror Avenger longs to moonlight as a "ghost therapist." Listeners will even hear about Mackula's past ambitions as an actor; his live, on-air freak-out over fingernail tapping at his window; and an impromptu cameo from Dr. Moody's cat, "Mimi." With humor, insight, and devil-may-care-giving-zero-effs attitudes, these three Horror fans celebrate some notable contenders of the Horror genre (as well as some shocking selections outside of it). As Dr. Moody reminds us, "A really good Horror movie is something you'd never wanna see." Note: This episode was recorded during an appreciable thunderstorm in Utah County, on October 11, 2025, the day actress Diane Keaton died. Photo credit: The glowing Jack-O-Lantern photos used for this episode were taken by Emily "The Empress" Stewart.

    Our resident firebrand, Ron Martin, presents Part 4 of 4 of his solocast series titled The Great Halloween Experiment, in which he investigates whether watching random horror films throughout October heightens his Halloween enjoyment. To explore this, he watches and reviews 31 horror movies — none of which he's seen before — selected from his personal Blu-ray collection, new theatrical releases, and VOD selections. While cultivating a proper "Halloween atmosphere," Ron delivers 31 Mini Horror Movie Reviews of these films, many of them new releases, combining his Infamous Horror Myth-Busting analysis with the question at the heart of the project: Does immersing oneself in random Horror movies truly enrich one's Halloween spirit?
