Grab your glow-in-the-dark chalice and kneel before the jar—because the Rewind or Die crew is cracking open John Carpenter’s Prince of Darkness (1987), aka the cursed VHS that feels like Taco Bell at 2 a.m. Adam, Jeff, and Steve dive headfirst into Carpenter’s middle-child of the “Apocalypse Trilogy,” complete with glowing slime, grad students who should’ve dropped the class, dream transmissions from 1999, and Alice Cooper stabbing people with a bike frame like it’s just another Tuesday.

We’re talking Satan Goo™, Donald Pleasence screaming at liquids, Victor Wong explaining evil like it’s a Pop-Tart, VHS static that invented cursed tapes before The Ring, and the most disturbing mirror hand cameo of all time. Is this Carpenter’s weirdest horror movie? His most underrated? Or the moment he officially became the YouTube algorithm of 1987?

All that plus the usual chaos: fake ad breaks, VHS banter, Taco Bell conspiracies, and the official Rewind or Die judgment. It’s slime, it’s science, it’s cosmic horror on a budget—and yes, it rules.

John Carpenter followed Halloween with glowing mist, cursed gold, and hook-wielding ghost sailors. We dive deep into The Fog (1980) — the production, the reshoots that saved it, Adrienne Barbeau’s lighthouse DJ vibes, Tom Atkins’ mustache magic, and yes… that 2005 remake disaster.

It’s spooky season, Carpenter season, and VHS nostalgia chaos only Rewind or Die can deliver. Subscribe, rewind, and don’t step on the grass.

It’s 1983, John Carpenter teams up with Stephen King, and the result is… a car that straight-up murders people. Christine is part horror, part puberty metaphor, and part demolition derby.

In this episode of Rewind or Die, Adam, Jeff, and Steve chase down cursed automobiles, rant about VHS rentals, Frostys in yellow cups, and why the Oakland A’s are basically the Incredible Hulk of baseball. Plus: Carpenter’s ‘director jail’ era, King’s cocaine-fueled writing spree, and more tangents than Christine has dents.
