Horror Movie Night

Geekscape

Join Matt, Scott and Kyle each week as they suffer through horror films both forgotten and beloved. The trio capture the excitement and the disappointment of renting movies in the 80’s and 90’s. For every surprising thrill like American Gothic the trio suffer through there's 10 disappointing flops like Terror Toons. The show combines the nostalgia of renting videos with a snarky comedic blend that will make you feel sentimental while simultaneously putting a smile on your face. So dust off your VCR, make some popcorn and check behind every door because it’s… Horror Movie Night.

    Sinister (2012)

    November is the perfect time to break out the home movies with the family, kick back with a glass of whiskey, and watch people get run over by lawnmowers on 8mm. This week, we’re unboxing one of the more successful Blumhouse features, 2012’s SINISTER. This is arguably about as good as 2010s horror gets, creepy kids and all, so put on your child-eating corpsepaint and come along with us on another episode of Horror Movie Night!

    Goosebumps (2015)

    Happy Halloween from your boys in HMN! Another year, another kid-friendly horror movie discussion, because if there’s one day that’s for the kids, it’s a day where they’re encouraged to dress up like serial killers, and we love that for them. This year, we crack open GOOSEBUMPS (2015), which has a pretty solid concept (RL Stine’s manuscripts hold the actual monsters they’re written about) marred by a ton of mediocre CGI and Jack Black’s oddest vocal affectation. Regardless, we love GB’s in this

    Creature of the Black Lagoon (1954)

    It may be getting chilly outside, but that doesn’t mean we’re going to let you forget to STAY OUT OF THE DAMN WATER. Somehow, we have finally made our way backwards through the Creature trilogy, ending with this week’s discussion of CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON (1954). It’s just a really good movie, don’t expect us to talk bad about our pal Creature… The only thing he’s in danger of is drowning in compliments (and bathing beauties, apparently).

    Ghosthouse (1988)

    Do you love the Evil Dead series? Of course you do - but are you a big enough fan to know and love Evil Dead 3? No, we’re not talking about Army of Darkness, we’re talking about the Italian Evil Dead 3, Umberto Lenzi’s GHOSTHOUSE (1988)! The connections to Sam Raimi’s classic are admittedly hanging on by a thread here, more or less just that both take place in haunted houses. This one shares more DNA with Poltergeist when you think about it, and it even has a possessed clown doll if that’s what

    Halloween 5 The Revenge of Michael Myers (1989)

    It’s October and Scott’s pick this week, so why not torment his cohosts with what some would call the worst of the Halloween franchise? They are demonstrably wrong, and the guys are going to change some hearts and minds by singing the praises of HALLOWEEN 5: THE REVENGE OF MICHAEL MYERS (1989). Ok, well maybe not all of the guys, but Scott’s going to try his best to convince Matt and Kyle that this one has an unfair reputation, especially when there are some real stingers in the series after par

    Poltergeist II: The Other Side (1986)

    It's officially the month of Halloween and we are kicking it off with Matt diving into Poltergeist II: The Other Side. This long awaited sequel was viewed as a disappointment when released; has it gotten better over 40 years? How has it's depictions of indigenous people aged? Is that worm moment still great? Listen and find out!!

    House II The Second Story (1987)

    We round out Listener Submitted Month with another part 2, this one featuring a lot more elder abuse (it’s ok, the great-great-grandpa is kind of an immortal corpse) and a lot less butt stuff. HOUSE ll: THE SECOND STORY (1987) decides to not pick up where the first movie left off and instead focus on yuppies living in the gaudiest Aztec-themed house you may ever see. There’s a crystal skull that can be used for time travel, a six-shooter-wielding skeleton named Slim, and the star of the film, a

    Wishmaster 2: Evil Never Dies (1999)

    Listener Submitted Month continues with a film about an evil genie obsessed with granting nefarious wishes to his victims' butts. Seriously! WISHMASTER 2 (1999) has two different rectum-centric deaths, which may not seem like a lot on paper, but really add up in a 90-minute gorefest. A group of inept thieves accidentally release the titular djinn, who goes back to his old song and dance of offering wishes that people take without considering that they may end up pooping casino tokens. It’s reall

    Triangle (2009)

    Listener Submitted Month continues with the time-loop slasher film TRIANGLE. When this was released in 2009 Matt and Scott watched it for Reddit Horror Club to mixed results but neither followed up with it for 15 years. Will they like it more or less this time around? Is it Kyle's first watch or his tenth? Does this feel familiar? Is this De Ja Vu?

    Green Room (2016)

    We kick off Listener Submitted Month with Green Room. This punk rock horror revenge film is a masterclass of suspense, violence and standing up against fascism, so obviously it was totally up our alley! While moments made us yell out loud, it also captivated us and lead to a deep conversation about indie filmmaking, pacing and music.

    Cry_Wolf (2006)

    Do you miss the days of AIM chatrooms, razor-thin eyebrows and Jon Bon Jovi’s failed acting career? If so, we’ve got a long-forgotten gem for you this week, 1005’s CRY WOLF! Full of twists, turns, and irritating character decisions, this is perfect for the movie watcher that wants a little sprinkle of slasher in their game of internet Clue. It’s not a good movie by any stretch, but the nostalgia factor kind of helps the watch feel like less of a slog. Get ready for an all-nighter, your urban leg

    Autopsy of Jane Doe (2016)

    It takes a lot to spook the HMN boys, but the sound of a little toe-bell ringing is forever going on the list of sounds we hope to never hear in real life. THE AUTOPSY OF JANE DOE (2016) is celebrating its tenth anniversary so we can finally discuss it on the show! There are a ton of ways that “naked lady on a slab” could’ve been handled poorly, but against all odds, the team behind this one made the titular character ominous and totally non-sexual while being disrobed and motionless for the ent

    Seed of Chucky (2004)

    Pervy little killer dolls are no strangers to the show, but what if those little freaks reproduced sexually and their poor kid was sold to Criss Angel? Scary stuff! SEED OF CHUCKY (2004) is both surprisingly ahead of its time AND somehow horribly tacky and gross for its time (and worse 22 years later). If you ever wondered what Chucky working his Stretch Armstrong in silhouette looked like, you’re in luck because he jerks off in this movie and that’s actually one of the less offensive scenes on

    Island Claws (1980)

    It’s still summer and that means you’re not safe in the water yet! This week, the island boys are going crab hunting with ISLAND CLAWS (1980), and film about what happens when capitalism allows people with money to dump radioactive waste wherever they want. And yes, we realize this same thing happened in KILLER CROCODILE - we’re trying to make a point here. The titular monster is (kind of) worth wading through all the character development because damn, who doesn’t want to watch a 10-foot-tall c

    The Void (2016)

    Are you sick of people being stuck in buildings with vinyl flooring and concrete block walls? Well too bad, cuz we’ve got another batch of poor souls fighting off a death cult and Lovecraftian monsters in this week’s pick, THE VOID (2016). This one just turned 10, so we’re celebrating with a rewatch and a fresh perspective on Astron-6 movies. Is it an entirely new concept? Of course not, but it packs a body horror punch and has incredible low-budget practical effects so we all walked away happy.

    Orca (1977)

    That’s right, MORE killer animal content but this time, but this time we get Richard Harris on a pretty obvious bender throughout the movie shoot. ORCA (1977) is a surprisingly competent and may we even say well-done entry to the the JAWS ripoff pantheon that doesn’t get as much discussion as we think it should so here we are. Where else are you going to see a smart aquatic mammal blow up an entire freaking power plant? It’s as awesome as it sounds, trust us.

    Lake Placid (1999)

    At this point, we’re basically “giant animals attack” movie connoisseurs so why not add to the pile with a turn-of-the-century horror comedy take on the genre? LAKE PLACID (1999) has a stacked cast and the legendary Stan Winston Studios doing sfx, but they seemingly forgot one key ingredient to make it all work - actual funny jokes. Oh well, we’re still here for some crocodile carnage, and we get a ton of it. Plus Betty White is in it!

    Last Shift (2014)

    It seems wild that confiscated items at a police station are underutilized trope in horror - think about all the weird stuff in evidence rooms, messing with it would lead to creepy stuff happening for sure. At least we have a gem of an indie horror like LAST SHIFT (2014) to show us what kind of trouble those cursed items could cause. You can’t help but feel bad for a rookie cop spending her first day (well, night, but you get the idea) on the job and being tormented by the ghosts of a murder cul
