Movies discussed: Vamp, Scream 7, All You Need is Blood, The Owl (short)

This week we ponder how many more Screams really need to be scrummed, why Grace Jones made a bizzarro vampire movie, and whether indie horror has to choose between sincere and gonzo.

Next episode’s assignments:

Undertone

Carnival of Souls

Ready or Not 2: Here I Come

The Worm (short)

Hey, here’s a video from the Inspiraggio YouTube channel Matt mentioned about the representation of owls in the Hieronymus Bosch’s painting “The Garden of Earthly Delights.” Also, yes, Matt usually gets the name wrong as “The Garden of Good and Evil”. He blames John Cusack and working at a movie theater in 1997.

Watch along with us if you like and we’ll see you next week.

The post Episode 516 – Zombie As Manic Pixie Dream Girl appeared first on Horror Show Hot Dog.

Movies discussed: Send Help, Black Phone 2, Beast of War, Next Show in 90 Minutes (short)

This episode has it all: battle-scarred sharks, next-level Australian swearing, ice-skating ghosts, Jesus-centric flirting, paralytic octopuses, regurgitative CPR… Overall we all dig Send Help, but Black Phone 2 and Beast of War get split decisions.

Next episodes assignments:

Vamp

Scream 7

All You Need is Blood

The Owl (short)

Movies discussed: Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter (again!), Friday the 13th: A New Beginning (again!), Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives (again!), Avoid Asking (short)

This time we’re speedrunning the Tommy Jarvis saga in our Friday the 13th rewatch. We all agree VI is great, Charlie and Josh love IV, and Matt really digs V (which is his right as a horror fan and an American).

Look at this digital terror on Charlie’s shelf! He can’t wait to grow up and stabulate campers!

Next episodes assignments:

Send Help

Black Phone 2

Beast of War

The post Episode 514 – Wholesome Horniness appeared first on Horror Show Hot Dog.

Movies discussed: The Toxic Avenger (remake), Dust Bunny, Queens of the Dead, The Rug (short)

This episode features three reality-adjacent flicks, each with a very particular vision. We all love the lush & feverish Dust Bunny and the intentionally low-rent new Toxic Avenger, while Queens of the Dead gets mixed reviews.

Movies discussed: Friday the 13th (again!), Friday the 13th Part 2 (again!), Friday the 13th Part III (again!), Playing God (short)

Hey Hot Doggies! Hope y’all had a good holiday season! We extended ours a little – sorry for the wait.

This time we’re digging back into Friday the 13th, and finding they’re better than the culture remembers them to be. We had conflated a lot of the F13 knockoffs with the originals. It’s fascinating! Also, one of the best shorts we’ve seen in a long while.

Movies discussed: Influencers, Necropolis, I Madman, Irradiated (short)

Hey Hoy Doggies!

This is likely our last show of 2025, so we’re celebrating by doing the same thing we always do. This time we all fall under the sway of Influencers, but have to debate the relative merits of low-budget 80s flicks Necropolis and I, Madman (Matt’s wrong as usual, but he’s so dang cute we’ll keep him).

Happy listening, joyous holidays, and we’ll chat atcha soon.
