Slashers Forsaken

This week we sit down with some seriously underappreciated slasher movies and ask "How you doin'?" in our best daytime talk show host styles. First we hear the sad and lonely song of the original slasher parody and closeted cult favorite Student Bodies. Then we hear the heartbreaking tale of murder, collegiate athletics, how not to run murder investigations, racism and jigsaw puzzles that has haunted the halls of Pieces memory. Next our youngest forsaken bloodbath, The Tripper, tells us about early 2000s politics and why Thomas Jane should have a statue in every major world city. Finally, we hear the sad tale of Eric Binford's decent in to a madness that the general public expects from every open horror fan, that consuming Fade to Black.

All that and some other stuff...

This week it is all sequels. Be they tentative second steps into becoming a full blown major franchise or contractually obligated bludgeons to capitalize on an actor's draw after it explodes or as a desperate attempt to keep hold of the film rights so some other asshole can't make a better version sequels are one of the most enduring threads of film history. This week we take a look at the magnificence of Terry O'Quinn in The Stepfather 2: Make Room for Daddy, the interesting idea that was turned into a quick cash grab by the studio Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2, the surprisingly on point for a lot of today's conversations on athletic rape culture The Rage: Carrie 2, and the fetish film Species 2: We Didn't Bother with a Subtitle.

Join us, won't we?

Fission Chips

The October Challenge continues! This week Raiders takes a look at Sci-Fi Horror. First up is the film which gave us a global recognition of kaiju, birthed the tokusatu genre, hatched the longest running film franchise in history, and has made Craig live in fear for years... the one true king of the monster's 1954's Godzilla (GOJIRA!!!). Next we dip our toes into New Wave British horror with Norman J Warren's serial killer lesbians vs people-eating cat alien romp Prey... a movie Dave is certain is packed with meaning that he just didn't pick up on. That is followed by Borg on a Russian boat movie, Virus, an old favorite of Tyler's... which may or may not cause everyone else great pain. Finally we take a look at one of John Carpenter's many cult classics, Prince of Darkness. All that and Kevin keeps his extra watches classy and mocks the rest of us for wallowing in cinematic sewage runoff.

Join us, won't we?

A Tour of the Italian Horrorside

Ah, bel paese. Raiders takes a tour of Italian Horror to kick off October. Our first film's shadow is longer than it's runtime and who hasn't wondered what their neighbor tastes like? Find out as we picnic at a Cannibal Holocaust. We get picked up by Umberto Lenzi and see the sites through his Eyeball. Lucio Fulci slips some LSD in our ginger beers and in a dream London we meet A Lizard in a Woman's Skin. Finally we wake up hungover, exhausted, and covered with bright orange blood in Buffalora cemetery and meet the Cemetery Man who insists we call him Dellamorte Dellamore.
