What an Excellent Day for an Exorcist Special

     This week we don our collarini and cassocks and take a long hard look into the abyss which glares back. That's right, it's finally time for Raiders to entrench deeply in the war against Pazuzu and watch all five Exorcist films. From the grand kickoff for the soul of young Regan to James Earl Jones in the latest cricket inspired loungewear to the imperator's return to the streets of Georgetown to Renny Harlin's scrabble to rebuild on the scorched and salted Earth that is his career to the limp Charlie Brown football gag played on Paul Schrader! We take that Super Soaker of Holy Water to the eye so you don't have to. Though you probably already have... so I guess we are here to commiserate? Why not!
     All that AND... Dave digs through sentient and aggressive mold with a toothbrush and bleach for a friend! Kevin goes full Freakin' Friedkin multiple times! Tyler's head spins and recites my account numbers backward! Anna takes a long dark tour through the side streets of her sanity!
     Join us, won't you?

You're So Vein

     The Horror... the...horror... the... Wacky Vampy! This week we take a look at some creatures of the night who don't quite fit in the standard Nosferatu casket. 
    First up, Abel Ferrara shows he has a copy of Famous Philosopher Quotes Abridged on his nightstand with his vampire as addict parable... The Addiction.
     Next, we listen to the beautiful music they make, learn how fast a vampiric infestation can take over a small town, and struggle with our group lust for 1980s Karen Black with Children of the Night.
    The Cryptkeeper reminds us why he's still our One True Love, even when delivering lesser tales of annoying Dennis Millers, because he makes amends in a very special way in Bordello of Blood
     Finally we finish up with a movie that has long been threatened and finally delivered... George Romero's first delivery of Tom Savini as BEEFCAKE... Martin.
     All that and Dave has a crisis of faith, Kelly discusses the finer points of emotional scarification for children, Kevin thinks his cape and kilt ensemble is all the rage, and Tyler causes a splash to prove that EVERYONE loves trash and gingers. Join us, won't you?

Rolly Polly Fish Heads



    The October Horror Death March continues through some watery graves.
    A neat monsters, a lot of boredom, and a fierce woman called Jeff, and a stupid man called Erin all come together to fight a new radiation created abomination in Spawn of the Slithis (aka just plain old, not nearly as dramatic, Slithis). 
    The least disciplined crew of an underwater Navy research station awakens a horror from the depths. If you take any lesson from it, learn that more movies needed more Miguel Ferrer. A lesson learned too late by the crew of DeepStar Six.
    We finally draw to a close Universal's shark franchise with Jaws 3. I would make a joke but there's really not much to say. Dennis Quaid and the rest of the cast and crew were doing a lot of cocaine. It shows. 
    Finally, we try our hand at starting another band but this time fronted by naked, Polish mermaids. That doesn't go so well, since they like to eat people's hearts. We had to go our separate ways for Tyler's safety. Good luck to The Lure.
    All that and Tyler invents a new cooking spray, Dave got really sick and couldn't do a proper edit... he is sorry and he will pay for it, and Kevin weeps for us all. Join us, won't you?

Look to the Skies!!!

     We kick off October with a four pack of Aliens from Space (not other countries) horror! First up, there's something strange with the staff of Herrington High, they have all been body snatched by aquatic parasites. What can a handful of stereotypical 90s teens do against The Faculty? Then the circus comes to the planet. Don't worry, there's enough cotton candy and wacky mayhem to go around because this particular circus is full of Killer Klowns from Outer Space. Next a Columbian ship exporting coffee's crew vanishes as it floats into a harbor that is TOTALLY New York and DEFINITELY NOT in Italy somewhere. Anyway, there are eggs and people explode and it's all probably a Contamination. Finally, we get our deep space freak on with a small expedition exploring a frozen dead planet. While looking for artifacts they find Inseminoid and that name might be the most fitting ever.
     All that and Dave makes the Horror Trifecta, Tyler sings the Doom song, and Kevin robs us all of a tiny portion of our childhoods. Join us, won't you?
