We've passed 500 episodes so we decide to do another round of "Does This Count As a Horror Movie?" Thanks to the popularity of Evil Dead 2, Sam Raimi was able to follow it up with this original Superhero film inspired by Universal Monsters and the radio drama The Shadow. Between obvious homages to Phantom of the Opera and Invisible Man and the evil being played by Larry Drake we feel pretty confident saying this counts!

Back in 2010 when I first started podcasting I had a short lived show called "The Saint Mort Show". Most of this content is long gone because it was poorly made BUT it was the place where I first cut my teeth as a podcaster and on the first episode I talked to Troll 2 star George Hardy about the movie, the Best Worst Movie documentary and his new projects which included a film called Ghost Shark 2: Urban Jaws.
Enjoy this despite the mediocre sound quality.

Kyle from Horror Movie Night has a new podcast out with his friend Evan where they deep dive into every adaptation of the Phantom of the Opera. If you're even a little curious about the history of this novella, turned movie, turned musical than this is the show for you!

FIVE HUNDRED EPISODES? How, you ask? Well, we don’t have a good answer but we DO have a good guest along with us as we travel to the ill-fated town of Nilbog on a house-swapping (?) adventure: Robert Bacon! For our 500th conversation, we enjoy a rewatch of the infamous “best worst movie” TROLL 2 (1990), which has zero trolls but a ton of goblins. Bacon is a self-made bad movie connoisseur and asserts that this one is NOT an actual bad movie, not by a mile, but rather a work of art when one considers it from the perspective of a stage play. This thesis really has legs, which probably made the trolls(goblins) super mad because really, who can’t outrun monsters that short?

If you weren’t afraid of industrial laundry machines, well guess again sucker! Tobe Hooper was brave enough to film a screen adaptation of one of Stephen King’s earliest short stories and 30 years later, we’re talking about THE MANGLER (1995). Obviously, some liberties were taken in the storytelling aspect here to pad it out into a feature-length film, but the basic tale is more or less intact: possessed laundry machine likes the taste of people and eventually becomes sentient and chases the detective main character around town. The premise is wacky and Hooper really got into the scrubbing here, so our discussion has time to… air dry, if you will…

By sheer strength of will (and a poor long-term memory), we made it almost a decade on this show without touching one of most HMN movies to ever grace the silver screen. Don’t knock our blocks off, it’s finally time to dissect 1985’s perfect RE-ANIMATOR! Is this a perfect movie? Well yeah, and a lot of shows have said so already but here’s us jumping on the Stuart Gordon bandwagon!

If last month threw you off a little, rest easy knowing we’re back to our regular content with a giant animal on the loose eating people at weddings. It’s about damn time we give 1980s ALLIGATOR a fresh watch and reminisce about how much that pool scene has shaped Matt’s worldview. Dive into this week’s episode or we’ll push you like the little jerks in pirate costumes we are.

It’s our last week of Foreign Film February and we wanted to say”bonjour!” It’s too our faces have been horribly disfigured and the masks we wear garble our already-rough pronunciations. We’re mushmouthing our way through 1960’s French classic EYES WITHOUT A FACE and it’s still impressive the amount of horror and gore they were able to display at the time of filming. Things were different back then, just look at this crazy doctor doing unlicensed experiments at home!

Our next stop for Foreign Film February is the chilly mountains of Norway, home of the biggest, dumbest monsters according to this guy who gets paid to wrangle them. We met up with a real, life TROLLHUNTER (2010) and he had the audacity to smother us in the most horrible-smelling goop imaginable because he said, get this, it will repel trolls! He seems like a psycho but we’re a group of disbelieving college students making a documentary so let’s roll with it. What’s the worst that could happen?

J-Horror was hugely popular here in the States in the early 2000s, and arguably one of the best of that time was also arguably one of the best found footage movies we’ve seen - 2005’s NOROI: THE CURSE. This is a great example of what works best in found footage, from the mysteries intertwining as the story progresses, the ramping-up of creepy occurrences, to the legitimate reasons for the cameras to be rolling. It’s a 10/10 and surprisingly scary even after all these years! Listen to us wax poetic about fetus demons this week on Horror Movie Night!

We love foreign films here at Horror Movie Night, but we don’t get around to discussing them as often as we probably should, so Kyle suggested we do a month of them. To appease the horror gods across the world, we are doing it big-style with Foreign Film February! The inaugural pick goes to Kyle, who went with the Spanish black comedy Christmas/apocalypse combo THE DAY OF THE BEAST (1995). There’s a bumbling theology professor, a heavy metal guy on acid, a fake TV prophet, and the looming birth of the Antichrist - what more could you want for your yuletide entertainment (we know we’re 6 weeks late here, just go with it). Let’s save the world this week on Horror Movie Night!

Trudging on through this wintry weather, it’s good to know that we’ve got a trio of burnt-up ghosts waiting at home keeping the place nice and toasty for us. This week, we’re snuggling up with the criminally underrated WE ARE STILL HERE (2015), which was released to genre fanfare and immediately forgotten about. It’s a great little film and we hope you like it as much as we do, else old Lassander Dagmar might come boil your brains in your silly little skull. It’s family time on this week’s episode of Horror Movie Night!

If there’s one thing this show’s hosts love, it’s movies that really peel back the layers of what film schools is truly like. Case in point, 2000’s URBAN LEGEND: FINAL CUT, a tale in which a film professor decides to steal a student’s movie and kill everyone involved so he can have the prize money and not have to be a teacher anymore. Makes total sense, right? This sequel is possibly a hair more believable than the plot of Scream 2, but not by much. Luck for us, we’re very good at suspending our disbelief here on Horror Movie Night!

A good chunk of us are probably buried under snow right now, so why not grab our skis and hit the slopes? While we’re at it, we might as well crank some obscure 80s Swedish hair metal but be careful - they rock so hard that their music sometimes causes avalanches! It should be fine… What’s worse is there’s a murderous group of Hills Have Eyes knockoffs chilling in the nearby factory and definitely not enough lighting on set to show the viewer who’s killing who. That’s 1985’s BLOOD TRACKS in a nutshell (we think - it was really dark) and we’re digging ourselves out of that fluffy white stuff this week; we may even shovel some snow!

Few horror tropes get our blood pumping quite like a little heavy metal and Satanic panic, so you must be wondering why it took us this long to get to THE GATE 2: THE TRESPASSERS (1990). Well, we don’t have a good answer for that, but we DO have a good reason for picking it now, and it has a lot to do with this baby turning 35 and our recent desire to celebrate such things on the show. Plus there’s a lot of demon poop in this one, which is objectively hilarious. So now we ask you, what would you wish for if you had summoned an 8” demon capable of making it come true (and then turn it into the aforementioned poop)… Quick suggestion, probably avoid getting your drunk dad his pilot job back right out of the gate…

Our tradition of letting listeners vote on the first movie of the year for us has once again led to the most obvious choice: more kinder trauma! If you’re a millenial and weren’t homeschooled in the late 80s, you were scarred like the rest of us by the visual of Christopher Lloyd’s eyeballs falling out in the family favorite WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT? (1988), and we’re here to remind you about it. Welcome to the new year, try not to get dropped in a vat of caustic, toon-killing chemicals, ok?

You know what’s crazy? The fact that as of today, Willem Dafoe has now starred in not one, but TWO Nosferatu films. A24’s retelling is now playing in theaters and so we decided now would be a perfect time to discuss a perfect movie about Count Orlock, SHADOW OF THE VAMPIRE (2000). You’ve got Dafoe as a vampire playing a vampire in a vampire silent film, and John Malkovich as the myopic director who doesn’t mind a little murder here and there as long as his movie gets made. Is this the most quotable vampire movie of all time? We’re here to argue that it is!

Gather round, kids - we’ve got a heartwarming story for you about a Christmas long ago (1990) in a magical place called “Houston” where a detective on a mission encounters an alien with an arm-mounted drain snake to create space heroin to take back to his planet. There is also a gang called the White Boys (really!) who dress like finance bros who want to get their hands on that sweet, sweet space heroin too. And as a bonus, the alien has a killer flying CD attack. It’s a lot to process, so sit back and let your uncles Matt, Scott and Kyle tell you all about DARK ANGEL, aka I COME IN PEACE! In the words of whoever greenlit this insane concept, “let it snow, let it snow, let it snow” and we don’t mean the stuff that falls from the sky when it’s cold.

There’s a Friday the 13th in December, so grab your Santa hat and hockey mask because we’re celebrating the holiday with one of the few remaining films from the franchise that hasn’t been covered yet, the 1984 classic FRIDAY THE 13TH: THE FINAL CHAPTER! Spoiler alert, it was not the actual final chapter, nor does it occur on a Friday - this is actually Sunday the 15th but really who’s counting? Time for some gratuitous “teen” nudity, Crispin Glover dancing, and some sweet, sweet Savini gore. Who’s ready to go skinny dipping in Crystal Lake?
