Extreme Animal Cruelty Content Warning: this movie contains one of the single most despicable scenes of actual violence against animals either of us have likely ever seen in cinema. Kangaroos are shown being shot, struggling to escape, and slowly, painfully dying. There is a shot of a pile of severed kangaroo upper torsos that the camera lingers on. Do not watch this movie if that is the kind of thing that will upset. It upset John and it upset Josh. It’s a really good movie in all respects, other than the depiction of inexcusable animal cruelty. Yes, we know the arguments about why it was a good thing, or whatever.
When not discussing that element, we have a good ol’ time talking about this lost film, which some might call the greatest Ozploitation movie of all time. John and Josh disagree about whether or not this qualifies as a “horror movie,” which leads to one of (but not THE) our most disparate rating results in our show’s history. I know you concerns yourselves with that sort of thing, and even read this at all. It’s Loathsome Things: A Horror Movie Podcast, and occasionally one of the top 50 film review podcasts in all of Taiwan!

We left all the static and background noises in this episode as an artistic attempt to recreate the movie-going experience of this nightmarish-ish experimental film from jolly ol’ Canada. We both liked it, we both hated it. It’s art, folks! For this one, you don’t necessarily need to watch it first. We spoil the whole thing, but it’s impossible to spoil the experience of watching this movie, which follows two young people around a spooky house during a forever night full of dreamy transitions, cartoons from the yore of your mind, and a strikingly confusing concept of what the camera is supposed to be. It’s Skinamarink on the best podcast about horror movies for horror movie fans that aren’t afraid to open up and make themselves vulnerable to hypnotic suggestion. You are getting sleepy. You are getting sleepy. You want to send all your friends and relatives a link to this show and encourage them to listen to every episode!

Content Warning: this movie depicts domestic violence, child endangerment and psycho-sexual assault
Sexy tentacle aliens will fill up your holes all night long in this movie full of chunky blood, broken eggs, spilled milk, oozing jism, allusions to world politics and some of the most gut-dumping relationship trauma you’ll ever see in a horror movie. Isabelle Adjani gives the performance of a lifetime, and you get to see a young and spermy Sam Neill. Andrzej Żuławski was in artistic exile from his home country of Poland while filming this epic post-Eraserhead, pre-Mother! body-horror masterpiece. Watch the movie before listening. It’s a shame more people haven’t seen this film and just another drop in the bucket of evidence for 1981 being the great year in horror movie history.

Two chummy science buddies unlock the secrets of pseudobiology while strutting from stage left to stage right in the Frankenstein barony’s most maze-like castle and daring to ask the question “what if instead of lightning we, I don’t know, just kind of dunked stuff in big aquarium full of science tea?” This film put Hammer on the map as the Wizard of Oz of color-gory horror movies and served as the foundation of Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing’s friendship and collaborative success in billions of horror movies to come. It’s worth the watch just for the history, with a few great horror movie moments sprinkled in as a bonus to this most 47th of all Loathsome Things: A Horror Movie Podcast episodes!

Supernatural experimental underwater Nazi uber-soldiers (band name, called it!) rise from the waves just as Gilligan, The Skipper, and the alcoholic, porn-plastering 3rd member of the crew, Dobbs, are bringing their vacationing cargo around for a lovely time on a desert island inhabited only by Herr Professor Peter Cushing. What could go wrong? Find out what kind of weird things we say about this semi-classic something-or-other of a horror movie on this episode of Loathsome Things: Das Horror Movie Podzinger!

This time vosotros reviewed a low-budget euro-70s movie about knights templar-themed zombies that rise from the dead to vampire up slutty blood and ride around town on mysteriously-sourced horses. It’s wacky. It’s zany. It likes to give the audience a reason to not be sad when a character dies. Perhaps they’re creepy. Perhaps they experimented with homosexuality in their youth. Perhaps they’re some kind of criminal. Content Warning: we discuss this movie’s casual depiction of sexual assault and rape. The movie doesn’t seem to think it’s that big of a deal, but it's honestly pretty upsetting. If you don’t want to see that or a child crying while being drenched in their mother’s lifeblood, watch the censored American cut.

After spending a year and a half NOT reviewing a Rob Zombie joint, we decided it was high time to review the robbest of all zombies, the one-thousandest of houses, the 90-minute music video interlude itself: House of 1000 Corpses. It was a delight to watch and a delight to discuss. Did we do a good job discussing it? You’s to say! We referenced a lot of things in this episode, so here’s a list of things to watch, listen to, or read about that’re all probably better than listening to this newest episode of Loathsome Things: A Horror Movie Podcast!The Moors Murdershttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moors_murdersMorgan Lander’s now defunct Horror Podcast: Witchfingerhttp://www.witchfinger.com/Sub Urban’s UH OH!

Ti West absolutely plows it with this Chain Saw-esque Debbie Decimates Dallas spectacle. It’s sexy, it’s disturbing, it’s confusing, it’s thought-provoking, it’s gory, it’s schlocky, it’s… it’s just great, y’all! Every death scene is a micro-masterpiece in its own right. At first you think this is all style, no substance, and then it turns on you. Watch the movie, then listen to us giggle and sigh while never once mentioning Mia Goth’s boobs. Tropes are subverted, big things are foreshadowed, and horror movies are loved in the newest episode of Loathsome Things: A Podcast About Horror Movies We Want You to Like As Much As We do!

Chloe Grace Moretz & Co did a great job of re-making Carrie in the least-interesting way possible: a technically proficient and almost flavorless retelling that lands squarely in the middle of the original and the made-for-TV movie on every front. It’s almost enough to make one sit back and ask “what do horror movie fans actually want in a reboot?” For these and other reasons, John and Josh do a speedy summary so they could get to the part they were most excited about: talking about all the other great horror movies and TV shows they’ve been watching in October!

35 years after the original, we finally get our first Hellraiser reboot! And it’s… well, you’ll have to listen to find out what we think about it. Set in beautiful Belgrade, Massachusetts, this visually striking reimagining of the Clive Barker original focuses on addiction, betrayal, and strips of delicious human bacon. The Pascal Laugier movie we tried to remember was Incident in a Ghostland (2018), the movie that caused permanent scarring to a young actor’s face because of some combination of greed and incompetence, so fuck that movie! The other things we couldn't remember the names of? Who knows! If you think “Enough is a myth” when it comes to Loathsome Things episodes, then this one’s for you!

“Angela Bettis! Angela Bettis! Angela Bettis!” said David Carson into the camera, and poof! She was there to provide one of the few redeeming qualities in this made-for-TV wad. Directed by the guy that directed Captain Kirk’s death and co-starring Dualla from Battlestar Galactica, this movie features Windows 98 screensaver-grade CGI a flat, lifeless retelling of the story from the same era at the mini-series version of The Shining.

WOW! Sissy Spacek absolutely slayed in this nutty jamboree of a high school prom horror that Piper Laurie, Nancy Allen and John Travolta all thought was a fun, over-the-top comedy when they were filming it. Is it still OK for say “slay, queen” now that someone else’s queen is dead? I’m gonna slay “Yes!” Also in this movie is William Katt’s amazing hair, now contextually placed as the forebear of Kevin Van Hentenryck’s Basket Case hair. In my untethered-to-reality mind, William Katt’s Tommy secretly survived, changed his name to Roger, and became a famous horror novelist with completely delusional memories of having been in “the shit” in Vietnam. V-necks. There, I said it. What am I saying? Who can say! You can’t write all good when you’re running on Monster and Nyquil (yes, with a Jolly Rancher), so shut up and listen to our first of three episodes reviewing motion picture adaptations of Stephen King’s first novel, Carrie. It’s Loathsome Things: A Horror Movie Podcast!

Boobs, silly gag humor, and the most ridiculous forms of cannibalism are just the tip of this zany masterpiece of 80s Horror-Comedy! Jackie Kong achieved greatness in this packed era of the sub-genre, making what is quite possibly the most ultimate 14-year-old boy movie possible. As a pair of wizened 14-year-old boys, ourselves, we thank her for her contribution. From topless aerobics and fully nude martial arts to Hitler-wrestling, epic projectile vomiting, squirty stump-driving, and, of course, seeing how hamburger condiments would accurately splatter against a farty ass in full moon, this semi-sequel to Herschell Gordon Lewis’ Blood Feast is a true hidden gem that we’re delighted to make our newest episode of Loathsome Things: the Best Horror Movie Podcast!

Thomas Jane, Damian Lewis, Timothy Olyphant, Jason Lee, Tom Sizemore and Morgan Freeman star in this sci-fi-fantasy-horror movie about evil alien penis monsters that shoot out of your butt and the man-children gifted with the exact combination of bench-warmer X Men powers needed to stop them… or something. You know, it gets a little confusing in there. It’s a Stephen King something, and we both remembered it more fondly than we watched it! So, join us for this experimentally 1-hour episode of Loathsome Things: A Horror Movie Podcast where we didn’t talk about Rob Zombie.

Oh, last summer, how memorable you were! With your floppy hats, plunging necklines, and fertile youths frolicking about on sandy beaches, full of hope and possibilities. The mind that brought us Dawson’s Creek and Scream also brought us this movie, where Buffy the Vampire Slayer and The Ghost Whisperer struggle through the teenage turmoils of love, friendship, and vehicular manslaughter. Can these busty teens come up with even the vaguest idea of how to solve a mystery? Will Ryan Phillippe look at Jennifer Love Hewitt’s boobs? Will it turn out that David Egan or Billy Blue actually matter? Find out the answers to this and Sarah Michelle Gellar’s breast-enhancing exercise techniques in the newest episode of this Freddy Prinze Jr. fancast!

We go on at length about this polarizing folk-slasher from the dude that wrote the screenplay for 28 Days Later. It’s very high concept and bookends Hagazussa nicely as an opposite of Saint Maud. Really, these three films have been a great leading-lady triple feature. If you wanted to listen to us spend way too much time comparing and contrasting the careers of Glenn Danzig and Rob Zombie instead of talking about this movie that has nothing to do with either of them, please listen to this newest episode of Loathsome Things: A Horror Movie Podcast!

We really schatten the bed with this blutty film about how much it sucked to live with emotional trauma in the Black Plague-era Alps while being identified as any combination of a witch, heathen or Jew.

Technical difficulties and illness plagued our recording of this absolute masterpiece from Rose Glass. An emotionally unwell woman with idiosyncratic religious convictions works as an in-home nurse for a sin-loving woman dying of cancer. Can they get over their differences and personal challenges to solve the murder mystery before it’s too late? No!

We’ve been alluding to this episode for a while, but now is the time! It’s the Fangoria Gore Zone slashic that no one talks about. Gabriel Bartalos, Warwick Davis, and Karoline Brandt hold nothing back in this romantic horror comedy about love, forgiveness, high-effort methods of watching porn with your friends, and… consumerism, maybe? We’re not really sure what to make of this movie, but it finally got Josh to watch The Texas Chain Saw Massacre for the first time, so we also get to talk about that on the latest episode of Loathsome Things: A Horror Movie Podcast!

What’s this, a secret Edgar Allan Poe adaptation starring Vincent Price? NOPE! Just a little Bucklecore historical fiction film about a man, his best friend, and their shared dream of accusing people of witchcraft, torturing them into confessing their witchery and devil-worship, and making a fortune in the process. What could be rapier than that? (see episode for additional sword puns). Join us as we delve into one of the Unholy Trinity of English Folk Horror grandpappies in the most 30th episode of Loathsome Things: A Horror Movie Podcast.

It’s been a year since we delved into the original transgressive masterpiece, but now we’re back to learn about the mating habits of the endangered Duane and Belial in this higher-budgeted, more comedic and less rapey installment of the Basket Case franchise. I guess Belial was an Incel in part 1, but he’s better now that he has a girlfriend, and can focus on his true passions: sloppy nutting and murder! Grab a tube of your favorite horse paste and climb into the dog bed with the lump you love to listen to the newest episode of Loathsome Things: a Horror Movie Podcast.

Grab your most sexually-active teddy bear before you listen to us talk about this… uhhhhh… like, I guess, some kind of a horror movie targeted at children.

A movie about people saying “La Fin Absolue Du Monde” as many times as possible in 59 minutes while a baby-faced Norman Reedus has a Eurotrash adventure across beautiful Vancouver, Canada, at the behest of Udo Keir’s poorly-decorated ambitions! Meta-commentary about the film business abounds in this gory movie-about-a-movie-that’s-more-than-a-movie. And for our Star Trek fans, there a special appearance from none other than B'Etor/Chief Examiner Nimira’s own Gwynyth Walsh.

We watched the absurdist masterpiece and reputed first horror film from Brazil, both directed by and starring the big, strong man himself, Coffin Joe. Beware, brave listener, for this film warns you it is not for the faint of heart, and then completely delivers on that promise.

Gareth Evans told us to try a new recording software, so the audio sounds a bit like we travelled to a low-tech island where the good Lord has been usurped by some kind of gauzy vineyard witchiness. Wait, maybe I’m getting some details confused. Dan Stevens, Kristine Froseth, Mark Lewis Jones, Lucy Boynton, Michael Sheen star in this long, complex horror film about the aforementioned actors having to band together to prevent Iko Uwais from getting to the top of the fertility goddess’ high-rise… wait… Ok, I think I got confused again, either that or I just came up with a great movie pitch guest-starring Tony Jaa!

Just after adapting Salem’s Lot for television and just before directing the music video for Billy Idol’s Dancing with Myself, Tobe Hooper returned to the fringes of Southern Gothic-in-retrograde murdery wetness with this solid update on the Quasimodo/Frankenstein’s Monster story by way of David Lynch’s The Elephant Man. Clean the cotton candy off your fingers and join us for a drippy dive into the schlocky wonder of Dennis Hopper’s… I mean, Tobe Hooper’s The Funhouse (1981), possibly most-popular among folks image-searching “Elizabeth Berridge nude.”

Wow! This classic manages to swaddle some truly transgressive, squirm-inducing discomfort in the gauzy warmth of William Asher’s 1950s-60s television eyeball. I don’t know what’s happening to my body, but I don’t like it. For a good time, watch this movie starring Jimmy McNichol, Bo Svenson, Julia Duffy, Steve Eastin, and an unfathomably epic performance from Susan Tyrell. Also, an early-career appearance by "William" Bill Paxton, because Billy needed to be menaced by more enemies!

Blumhouse Productions and Sophia Takal bring the feminism back to Black Christmas and… well, they really do it up. Imogen Poots and Cary Elwes go toe-to-toe in this college campus slasher/revenge/Buffy-style flick that's more of a set-piece upcycle than an actual reimagining of the original. If you’re trying to mask how fragile your masculinity is, you might want to skip this one, bro!

A Japanese romantic horror movie that gave Josh an excuse to say “onomatopoeia?” Awesome! This icky, chunky film had John and Josh split: is it feminist? Is it misogynist? Is it nihilist? Who can say? Well, two white guys with zero expertise on the matter, that’s who! Join us for a foot-flinging good time in this gory import.Warning: The movie, and thus this episode, covers sensitive topics and intense violence.

Welcome to the show notes for the tenth episode of the Loathsome Things Podcast!
A soldier’s mother prays for him to return, first from Vietnam, then from death’s cold embrace… and then he does. Yay, what a heart-warming story! Oh wait, no, this movies spirals into a fantastic exploration of the Laocoön-edged destruction visited upon real male bodies as part of the impossible expectations of war-time masculinity. It’s Bob Clark’s forgottish masterpesque, Deathdream (or “Dead of Night”), released the same year as his magnum opus, Black Christmas.

An aspiring actor and a budding scientist are on a romantic road-trip through American farmlandia. But, wouldn’t you know it, through a combination of car trouble and a get-off-my-landish nookie reception, our heroes find themselves in need of the use of a sweet old lady’s phone. The good news is, she’s very hospitable and kind. The bad news is, this devolves into delightful chunks of horror movie madness. It’s Honeydew, a movie named that for some reason!

Welcome to the show notes for the sixth episode of the Loathsome Things Podcast!
In the northern Taiga Cordillera, some dudes found something strange between bouts of playing cards and drinking, so they did the only natural thing to do: get some other dude to come here. Enter Black Mountain Side, a movie that, at its heart, is about male friendship, fellowship, and camaraderie. Also getting in on the feel-good action is a Lovecraftian deity that manifests as a deer standing up on its hind (get it!) legs. What a wacky crew! Go enjoy yourself a watch of this lovely low-budget flick, then listen in as we discuss all the zany antics in this episode of Loathsome Things!

Welcome to the show notes for the fifth episode of the Loathsome Things Podcast!
In this episode we discourse the original Thing that would later be adapted by John Carpenter to create one of the greatest, if not the greatest, horror movies of all time. The Thing from Another World is a black-and-white classic about soldiers fighting the twin evils of an invasive alien plant-monster and the scientists that wish to study them. If that doesn’t sound like your thing, you might enjoy all the self-congratulatory white people business or the amazing scene were EVERYTHING IS ON FIRE! Watch this movie before you listen to the podcast.

Welcome to the show notes for the Fourth episode of the Loathsome Things Podcast!
We watched the under-the-radar sensation that some people are calling “The Empty Man.” Going by the trailer, this movie is a dumb pile of ass. But, after actually watching the movie, this movie kind of kicks asses into a pile. It starts off in the mountains of Bhutan and ends up in … sleepy, small-town Missouri. Along the way, there’s plenty of wet-teeth noises, solidly unsettling business, something about a teddy bear, adults lurking outside of high schools to lure young girls (or women) into their cars with the promise of cigarettes, references to at least two philosophers, a surprise Stephen Rooting, and a fantastic sense of looming doom! Watch it before you listen!

Welcome to the show notes for the third episode of the Loathsome Things Podcast!
For this episode, we reviewed Nicolas Roeg’s Don’t Look Now. This classic horror movie centers on the characters portrayed by Donald Sutherland and Julie Christie: a married adult couple that find it much easier to talk to, talk about, think about, and run around as in some sort of game with the spirit of their dead child, rather than their only living offspring. Set in the “someone’s gotta clean that aquarium” era of Venice, this film takes its time allowing the viewer to build a relationship to the characters, including a really wild sex scene where, you know, they do it. This is really more of a Drama film until the final 10 minutes, where it surprised audiences with one of the twistiest twist endings in cinema history. This movie's influence on Horror cannot be overstated… well, I guess it can. BUT, you can see its influence most brazenly appearing in David Cronenberg’s The Brood and M. Night Shyamalan’s The Sixth Sense.
If you would like to recommend a movie, share your experience of seeing this film for the first time, tell us we’ve mis-spoken this movie’s title, criticize Josh’s obviously not-sincere rating of this film, or chase us around the moldering nighttime of Venice like a lanky creeper, you can do so by reaching out to us onTwitter: @LoathsomePodInstagram: @LoathsomePodFacebook: @LoathsomePodcast

Welcome to the show notes for the second episode of the ground-breaking, teeth-gnashing, future award-losing Loathsome Things Podcast! The best podcast about horror movies!For this episode, we reviewed Frank Henenlotter’s Basket Case. This fever dream of a movie is an absolute assault on the one’s better judgement, resulting in maniacal humor, passages of violent low-budget greatness, and a unique style that threatens the viewer with a higher plane of absurd horror movie bliss. This combination lulls an audience into a false sense of good cheer, before throwing that good mood out the window with some shockingly horrific scenes. For a movie that is so enjoyable and full of good humor, it gets REALLY DARK.Content Warning: In addition to the sort of violence and menace you would expect from a standard horror film, Basket Case portrays surgical assault on children, sexual assault, rape and/or necrophilia. Yikes!To see what Frank Henenlotter is up to, please follow him here: https://www.facebook.com/frank.henenlotterNote: We recorded this episode before the movie was made available on a certain horror streaming service.

Welcome to the show notes for the pilot episode of the ground-breaking, teeth-gnashing, future award-losing Loathsome Things Podcast! The best horror movie podcast located outside of Texas!
Herein John and Josh, two dudes who love horror movies, review Elle Callahan’s Head Count, an independent horror film wherein a bunch of youths alternate between substance amusements, awkward sexual tensions, unenthusiastic outdoor recreation, and general in-house pastiming with spookity occurrences therein.
To learn more about this film’s director, and find a link where you can watch Head Count for free(!), please visit her website: http://www.ellecallahan.com. Her new film Witch Hunt recently premiered at one of those festivals where these things tend to premier, so it should be available to stream sometime within the next two years.
