    Opening Kill Episode 63: Sleepy Hollow (with Guest Courtney from Jaunty Haunts)

    Step into the fog-drenched streets of Sleepy Hollow as we dig into Ichabod Crane’s eerie investigation of a string of brutal decapitations haunting a superstitious town. With whispers of the Headless Horseman riding through the night, nothing is quite what it seems and science clashes hard with the supernatural. We break down the gothic vibes, wild kills, and Tim Burton’s signature creepy style, while debating just how unhinged this mystery really gets. Joining us for the ride is special guest Courtney from the Jaunty Haunts podcast, bringing her own spooky insights and plenty of laughs along the way. Is Sleepy Hollow a haunting classic or just a beautifully shot fever dream? Tune in if you dare. 🕯️👻 Follow Opening Kill on our social media, to stay up to date on news and fun series we are doing.

    Opening Kill Episode 62: Leprechaun (1993)

    Deep in the Irish countryside, a vengeful little creature guards his pot of gold with murderous intentand he’s not about to let anyone get away with stealing it 🍀💰🔪. In Leprechaun (1993), a group of unsuspecting people stumble into a nightmare when they unknowingly unleash the titular trickster, played with gleeful menace by Warwick Davis. What starts as a seemingly lighthearted setup quickly spirals into chaotic, campy horror as the leprechaun uses magic, riddles, and brutal kills to reclaim what’s his 🧙‍♂️🩸😈. Packed with over-the-top one-liners, bizarre deaths, and a strange mix of humor and horror, Leprechaun became a cult classic that leans fully into its absurd premise 🎬🔥. It’s weird, wild, and way more violent than you’d expect from a tiny guy in a green suit making it a perfect pick if you’re into cheesy ‘90s horror with a darkly comedic edge 🤪🍀💀.

    Opening Kill Episode 59: Haunt

    This week we step inside Haunt (2019), a Halloween-night nightmare where the haunted house is way more real than anyone bargained for. We’re also joined by friend of the show and horror author Stephanie Rose https://stephanierosewriter.com/ who helps us break down all the brutal scares and twisted fun this movie delivers. Looking for something to do on Halloween, Harper and her friends stumble upon an extreme haunted attraction promising the most terrifying experience imaginable. The rules are simple: sign a waiver, follow the path, and survive the scares. But once inside, it quickly becomes clear that the masked performers running the attraction aren’t just acting… and the blood isn’t fake. As the group moves deeper into the attraction’s twisted rooms and sadistic traps, the night turns into a brutal fight for survival against a group of killers who treat fear like an art form. With every corridor hiding another horrifying surprise, Harper must confront both the monsters in the haunt and the trauma she’s been running from. We break down the film’s brutal set pieces, the creative masks and killers, and why this might be one of the most underrated modern Halloween horror movies. Of course, we also decide whether the opening kill earns the coveted Butcher Knife… or the dreaded Butter Knife. 🔪 Lock the doors, keep the lights on, and step carefully… because in this haunt, there’s no safe exit.

    Opening Kill Episode 58: Antlers

    n this episode, we head to our home state of Oregon to break down the chilling creature feature Antlers. Set in a bleak small town, the film follows a troubled teacher who begins to suspect that one of her students is hiding something far darker than anyone could imagine. As the mystery unfolds, local folklore and a terrifying presence collide in a story that blends slow-burn dread with brutal creature horror. We talk about the eerie Pacific Northwest setting, the heavy atmosphere, and the film’s take on the Wendigo legend. From haunting visuals to the grim tone of the story, we dig into what works, what doesn’t, and whether the opening kill earns the coveted Butcher Knife or the dreaded Butter Knife. Tune in for our full breakdown of this dark Oregon-set horror story and let us know if Antlers left you chilled… or just wanting more. 🦌🔪🎙️ Follow Opening Kill on our social media, to stay up to date on news and fun series we are doing.

    Opening Kill Episode 57: Frogs

    This week we’re heading into the swamp with 1972’s eco-horror cult classic Frogs 🐸 where the real terror isn’t just the croaking… it’s nature fighting back. When a wealthy, fireworks-loving family gathers at their island estate to celebrate the Fourth of July, they quickly discover they’re not alone. What starts as a few creepy critters lurking in the grass turns into an all-out animal uprising. Frogs, snakes, birds, spiders oh my. Is it revenge? Is it karma? Or is it just rich people ignoring very obvious warning signs? We break down the slow-burn swamp tension, the bizarre animal attacks, and whether these frogs are masterminds or just vibing while chaos unfolds. Plus, we decide if this opening kill earns the coveted Butcher Knife 🔪 or the dreaded Butter Knife 🧈 award. Nature is patient. Nature is watching. And nature is apparently very, very annoyed.

    Opening Kill Episode 56: Bram Stroker's Dracula

    On this episode, we sink our teeth into Bram Stoker's Dracula, Francis Ford Coppola’s lavish, blood-soaked gothic romance that redefined vampire horror for the ‘90s. We break down the haunting performances from Gary Oldman as the tragic, monstrous Count, Winona Ryder as Mina, and Anthony Hopkins chewing the scenery as Van Helsing. From practical effects and shadow play to operatic costumes and that unforgettable score, this is peak gothic excess. Is this the most romantic Dracula adaptation ever put to screen? Does the love story elevate the horror or drain it? And how does it stack up against other versions of the Prince of Darkness? Join us as we explore passion, damnation, and fountains of blood in one of the most visually stunning vampire films ever made. 🩸🦇   Follow Opening Kill on our social media, to stay up to date on news and fun series we are doing.
