Ep. 193: Somber Urban Thing

July 27, 2016

Some of these movies were tough to get through, but the show was fun to record. We agree Stir of Echoes is an underrated, solid old-school ghost story. We're not angry with Shrooms, per se, but just disappointed. And Rebirth splits the panel as Matt gives it his lowest rating ever. EVER.

Next week! It's bugs and animals and generally weird stuff. There's giant boar movie Chawz (find it on Shudder), Bill of the Bull's giant cockroach movie Mimic. and Slugs, which could be about anything, given that title.

Our short for next week is Happy Birthday from Fun-Sized Horror:

Ep. 192: Kiefer Madness

July 21, 2016

It's J- and K- horror remake week on HSHD! We find plenty to like about The Grudge and The Ring, but Mirrors reflects (HA!) poorly on Alexandre Aja. Our short this week was Play House, and it's a bit of a split decision.

Next week: Late 90's Kevin Bacon joint Stir of Echoes, 2007's Shrooms, and the brand-new Rebirth. Our short is Lot 254.

Ep. 191: The Uncanny Culvert

July 13, 2016

We watched both Hostel movies this week, as well as the other random movie called Hostel III that has little to do with anything else. Not since I'll Always Know What You Did Last Summer has a sequel been so not a sequel. Anyway, all three of us found plenty to like about the first two, which was a pleasant surprise.

Ep. 190: Vestigial Whoopie Cushion

July 10, 2016

This week we took a left turn from the movies Charlie and Matt picked last time. We kept the bonkers Japanese joint Cold Fish (available on Shudder), but swapped in Odd Thomas (on Netflix) to pay respects to Anton Yelchin, and Clown (on Amazon) because it's finally available for the watchin'.

Next week! Josh takes his medicine with all three Hostel movies! That should be... delightful. Our short for the week is Peekers: https://youtu.be/10diurwIa7Y

Ep. 189: Don’t Be an Uptight Banana

July 6, 2016

Megan from Horror Story Hot Dog ably fills the aching void left by Josh's absence in this episode. Matt, Charlie, and Megan. It's all sequels all the time with Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, The Devil's Rejects, and House II: The Second Story.

Ep. 188: Slip to the Boogly

July 1, 2016

This week, we groove (to varying degrees) on the Mexican anthology film México Barbaro, agree that Zoombies is pretty terrible, and are somewhat mystified by Italian slasher Torso.
