Episode 22: Basket Case

Few movies embody grindhouse grit and DIY horror energy quite like Basket Case (1982). In this episode, we dive deep into Frank Henenlotter’s outrageous cult classic — a film that blends body horror, dark comedy, and New York sleaze into something unforgettable. From Belial’s shrieks to the grimy streets of early-80s NYC, Basket Case feels like a midnight movie that crawled straight out of a 42nd Street theater. Join us as we explore the film’s no-budget production, its bizarre tone, and how it became one of the most beloved cult horror films of all time.

Episode 20: Christmas Evil

Before killer Santas became a holiday horror staple, Christmas Evil (1980) delivered one of the strangest, most unsettling psychological slashers ever wrapped in tinsel. In this episode, we unwrap Lewis Jackson’s cult classic — a film that blends slasher vibes, character study, dark comedy, and a surprisingly emotional core. From Brandon Maggart’s unhinged performance to the film’s bonkers finale, Christmas Evil has earned its spot as a must-watch for horror fans every holiday season. Join us as we explore the film’s troubled release, its rediscovery on VHS, and why so many genre fans (including John Waters!) call it a holiday masterpiece.

In this episode, we dive deep into TerrorVision (1986) — a wild, neon-drenched cult favorite that mashes together sci-fi, horror, satire, and pure 80s excess. From its slime-spewing monster to its larger-than-life suburban weirdos, TerrorVision is the kind of movie that feels like a late-night cable fever dream… and that’s exactly why fans love it. Join us as we explore how this creature-feature comedy became a true midnight-movie staple, why it stands out from other 80s horror oddities, and what makes its warped sense of humor so strangely timeless.

Listen to the episode for a chance to win a Halloween 3 poster signed by Tom Atkins! It’s time for Frank, Peter, and Jay to peel back the latex mask and dive deep into one of horror’s most misunderstood sequels, the 1982 film Halloween III: Season of the Witch.

Join us as we uncover behind-the-scenes stories, fan theories, and the legacy of a film that dared to break every rule of the slasher genre. We go through the movie talking about things that stood out to us, comparisons to the original Halloween, some interesting trivia you might not be aware of, and then give our final thoughts, body count, and ratings for the movie.
