Add this one to your watchlist of remakes that may be better than the sequel, and definitely among to top of any list of high-quality reboots. Clive Barker’s non-Hellraiser franchise is brought back around to no longer focus on the plight of white women in this stunning, complex, and challenging reframing of the classic.
And here are some links to the figures discussed in the closing credits.The Lynching of Anthony Crawford: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynching_of_Anthony_CrawfordThe Wrongful Conviction and Execution of George Stinney: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_StinneyThe Murder of James Byrd Jr.: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_James_Byrd_Jr.

Somewhere in the Finnish reindeer wilderness, there is a mountain that is secretly the gigantic sacred grave of MFing Santa Claus. In this episode of Loathsome Things, you’ll hear us review the actions taken by a squad of rugged snow-daddies who, perhaps, receive a bit too much focus on whether or not they have sufficiently spanked their sons. What’s more, we’ll reveal to answers to all things and we detail their adventures,including:
The Mystery of the Too-Soon-Dead ReindeerHow Old Should My Son Be Before I Give Him a Gun?How to Shop for the Santa Antiquarian Who Already Has EverythingThe Case of the Naked CodgerHow to Eat Cookies for Dinner Whatever Shall We Do with All This Dynamite?

You are a mountain and this is the first part of Perry Blackshear’s Monster Trilogy sees childhood chums Wyatt and Christian reunited as alcoholic adults who’ve suffered failed relationships and mental and emotional disturbances. Christian’s self-help iPod has seen him get a great job at Behemoth, where he’s romantically pursuing his badass boss, Mara. Meanwhile, Wyatt is suffering from severe Capgras delusions and is doomsday prepping in a decidedly hardware store fashion. Will he use his ultra-powerful nail gun to save the world? Will Christian do horizontal judo with Mara? Hug-hug to find if we knew we got our axe for something on this episode of Loathsome Things: A Horror Movie Podcast, haroo, haroo!

Did you know that when you forget your dreams, they get mad at you? It doesn’t matter if those are dreams of attractive young women in thin gauze, skinless bears coming for you in the closet, fake little brothers with bulgy eyes, or janitors with prosthetic limbs that fall right off. You see, when you go beyond dream’s door, the hatred doesn’t discriminate. Maybe it’s a fleshy tooth-book chomping your foot, maybe it’s a balloon that just wants to follow you and make an annoying sound before exploding, maybe it’s not-Pennywise cackling from the sewers or a horde of non-aggressive zombies. It just doesn’t matter. The dreams you’ve forgotten all hate you equally and if you tell a typewriter about those dreams, they will come for you and they will come for your gun-happy professor and his TAs. So, take a melatonin, brew yourself a pot of sleepytime tea, crank one out, and then lay your weary bones down before listening to this highly academic episode of Loathsome Things: a relaxing ASMR podcast about horror movies that will unlock your innermost potential at 666 hertz.

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!

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. Join us for part 2 out our 3-part series of Carrie: Who Wore It Best on this most October 2022est episode of Loathsome Things: A Podcast in which two jerks talk about the horror movies they watched and assumed you would like to listen to that!

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!

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.

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. Here, I’ll horn in a content warning: this episode unqualifiedly discusses rape, infanticide, cannibalism, and anti-semitism.

Ben Wheatley continues his adventures in British Pagan Horror with this socially-distanced gem. A great soundtrack and peculiar intrigue set the shard-strewn groundwork for some splendid creep-outs, rapturous highs, and a microdose of some impressive practical effects. Get out your glow sticks, apply your pasties, and paint your junk for a rad party in the woods because we’re watching In The Earth!

What if Dean Koontz was a Vietnam vet with trouble remembering the name of the AK-47, a very bland collection of plunging V-neck sweaters, a weird thing for little boys, and a flippin’ sweet real estate inheritance? He would probably be the main character of Steve Miner’s 1985 comedy(?) horror film: House! This movie certainly does, and you can take that to the bank! What am I talking about? Who can say?! Join us as we realize so many things about a movie with what is almost certainly one of the top-10 intentionally wall-mounted horror movie props of the mid 1980s!

Welcome to the show notes for the eighth episode of the Loathsome Things Podcast!
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!
If you would like to recommend a movie, tell us why meat is murder, talk about your favorite song “Purpiceps, Molly Purpiceps,” or just share in the relieved glee of watching a good movie and getting Intersect firmly into the rearview mirror, you can do so by reaching out to us onTwitter: @LoathsomePodInstagram: @LoathsomePodFacebook: @LoathsomePodcast

Welcome to the show notes for the seventh episode of the Loathsome Things Podcast!
Three grad students at Miskatonic University’s Temporal Studies department have uncovered the secret of time travel! Sounds like an awesome premise for a movie, right? Oh, dear Cthulhu, why? If you thought the deer deity in Black Mountain Side was unimpressive to look at, just wait until you catch a glimpse of Nate. Cozy up with the one you love and plunge your sensory organs deep into the unpleasant depths of Gus Holwerda’s disasterpiece: Intersect!

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 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!
If you would like to recommend a movie, tell us your fan theory, remind us of that detail we forgot to mention, convince us we’re only as old as our podcast, or make fun of the way one of us sounds, you can do so by reaching out to us onTwitter: @LoathsomePodInstagram: @LoathsomePodFacebook: @LoathsomePodcast
