79. Satanic Hispanics (2022)

John and Josh review an anthology film for the very first time. Will they mess up, do a good job, or just incoherently repeat themselves? Find out on today's episode of Loathsome Things: A Podcast About Horror Movies You Don't Care About!

75. Remi Weekes' His House (2020)

Get your dollar-store, off-brand tissues ready, because this one’s a tear-jerker! Rial and Bol are refugees of the Sudanese Civil War, trying to create a new life for themselves in the land of opportunity: slummy ol’ England! To start over, they’ll have to endure fairly mild (by American standards) interpersonal racism, run-down living conditions, intense psychological trauma, ghosts, and an evil entity. Get ready for a wild one, folks, for this gut-wrenching episode of Loathsome Things: A Horror Movie Podcast for those who are paying attention to the actual horrors happening around us.

74. Nia DaCosta's Candyman (2021)

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.

73. Antonia Bird's Ravenous (1999)

Be the food you want to eat! The Memento guy, the Trainspotting guy, the principle from Ferris Bueller, and a celebrity’s husband star in this off-kilter delight that dares to ask the question: what if Dances with Wolves was a wendigo movie lightly sprinkled with a Mel Brooksian soundtrack? Turns out, you might get something like this. Show up for what was obviously Robert Carlyle’s inspiration for Rumpelstiltskin, stay for the weird sense of human and overall high level of enjoyability of this episode of Loathsome Things: A Horror Movie Podcast that you haven’t listened to yet!
 

72. David R. Ellis’ Final Destination 2 (2003)

Something about death’s design, a list, this time it happens backwards… who knows. Welcome to 2024, Loathsome Things style! It’s all epic action-disaster stunt sequences between bouts of really depressingly bad line delivery. Start the year off with the best horror movie podcast for people that are tired of all the other horror movie podcasts as we watch a movie that one podcaster described as “I Know What You Did Last Destination!”

71. Jalmari Helander’s Rare Exports (2010)

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?

69. James L. Conway’s The Boogens (1981)

From the director who brought us some actually good episodes of Star Trek later in his career, this movie… it’s terrible. Bad jokes, unexciting nudity from Rebecca Balding, and one of the worst movie monsters you’ll ever see. You know that uncle or cousin of yours, the one that puts off an icky vibe? This is probably one of their favorite movies. So, skip the flick and just enjoy our re-telling of the story that is the movie The Boogens. This isn’t usually the case, but sometimes the podcast is better than the movie on Loathsome Things: A Horror Movie Podcast!

66. Brian Duffield’s No One Will Save You (2023)

An Etsy girl makes a go of living her best life in her childhood home in a town full of people who hate for something that she did in her childhood. Also, there’s aliens and almost zero dialogue. Will it be good? Pack yourself up a pic-a-nic basket and head on out to a loved-one’s grave and plot your sorry ass in that ancestral grass to listen to this fortnight’s episode of Loathsome Things: a podcast about scary movies where we tell you which movies are scary, which movies are not scary, and break them down so you don’t have to watch them, but then we tell you to watch them… because that’s what our audience wants?Also, this episode features a bonus review of the Star Wars television thing: Ahsoka.

65. Elliot Goldner’s Final Prayer (2013)

Content Warning: A smidge of animal cruelty is depicted in this movie, which we describe and may/may not do vocal sound effects for…John and Josh strapped microphones to the inside of their mouths for an entire day to bring you their first full-fledged found footage film review! This little gem blends found footage with possession/exorcism, folk horror, and [spoiler]. What a cool combination!A priest guy and a professional gadget-haver spend a lot of run time getting acquainted with one another and slowly building what will turn out to be a life-long friendship, though not without its ups and downs, all while a variety of priests come and go from their lives. Along the way, their learn valuable lessons about imperialism, how the church abuses its power over the population, and never leaving your buddy behind.Also, we kind of do a semi-review of the new movie Elevator Game at the end. So, you know, there’s that for ya.And, as a special bonus to our show-note readers, here’s the British TV Shows we invented in this episode, plus the band and album!British TV Shows that should exist:One House TreeBunch of Love Heaven BasketThird Lane MysteryThe Deacon's RevengeKing Henry's ClungeThe Dicar of VibleyAnd the Band - Album that should exist:Tale for the Blather – Their Sophomore Effort

63. Ulli Lommel’s The Devonsville Terror (1983)

Do you ever think about the town you live in? Did your ancestors live there? What did they do when they lived there? Were they bad to other people, maybe women or indigenous populations? Do you ever wonder if you are them? Has a doctor ever made you feel like you’re a buckle-hatted pilgrim wielding a knife of revelation while inducing seizures in your chaw-addled brain?Well, then you may be a Pendleton, of the Devonsville Pendletons!You see, 300 years ago the entire town of Devonsville did a witch hunt. Later, they were all named Pendleton and had much less facial hair than their ancestors. There may have also been some Warleys, who may have written everything down in some Gideon’s Bible-sized journals for no good reason. Also, something about belts made out of finger bones. I don’t know.
This week we reviewed a movie that was asking the question “could a witch hunt happen today?” But that was 40 years ago, and here we are today among a mass of idiots banning books, actively organizing to overthrow the government, and persecuting anyone who isn’t a cis-gendered lily-white Christian. So join us in the flames as we place a curse upon the whole melty-faced lot in this most fundamentalist episode of Loathsome Things: a podcast for people who want to grow closer to god day by glorious day. Amen.

62. Jay Woelfel’s Beyond Dream’s Door (1989)

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.

60. Francis Teri’s The Suckling (1990)

In 1990, first-time director Francis Teri pulled together a tiny budget, a team of mostly non-actors, and some really cool practical effects to make an amazingly tasteless, uncomfortably semi-humorous, and entirely baffling horror movie about a young woman receiving an abortion against her will and her aborted fetus becoming one of the most mind-bogglingly powerful horror movie monsters of all time. That’s right, it’s an abortion monster, and boy does it have a really weird plan! Tune in for an exploration of the thing you didn’t think could go wrong when you outlaw abortion in this episode of Loathsome Things: a horror movie podcast that cares about the mother’s life and the baby’s life, but absolutely hates men.

59. The Mo Brothers’ Macabre (2009)

The Jo Brothers cover The Mo Brothers with this delightful jaunt down the road to a slasher commonly referred to as The Indonesia Chainsaw Massacre for entirely appropriate reasons. What starts off as torture porn then devolves into madcap mindless violence before finally metamorphosing into some really tremendous fight scenes that make the film’s early goings-on worth it. This movie is an underappreciated gem that suffers for being from a country that western audiences have largely ignored. Listen to us break it down and really get after it in this all-new episode of Loathsome Things: A Highly-rated Podcast for People Like Me!
 
Also, we end up talking about our feelings about Rob Zombie… again… because we’re two cool dudes.If you would like to recommend a movie, share your top-10 list of Indonesian films, or ask us horror movie-related questions, you can do so by reaching out to us onTwitter: @LoathsomePodInstagram: @LoathsomePodFacebook: @LoathsomePodcastEmail: LoathsomeThings@gmail.com

55. Jack Cardiff’s The Mutations (1974)

In the 1970s, someone thought it’d be a cool idea to mix the ideas of Tod Browning’s Freaks with a Frankenstein story genetically modified with DNA. This horror movie trades in the objectification of people that are different, women tits getting a breath of fresh air, and really cool fast-motion plant footage. We tried to be careful with our language and ableism discourse. Maybe we didn’t nail it, but we tried our darndest and are always striving to get better. Speaking of getting better… uh… keep listening to Loathsome Things: the best place to get horror movie summaries without having the watch the horror movies yourself because you’re too scared and we aren’t, so there!

54. Abel Ferrara’s Body Snatchers (1993)

At long last, we arrive at our destination of having gotten through all that snatch with this 90s-tastic piece of something from the something-addled something of someone’s something. What am I talking about? Have I been taken over by some sort of horrific racial superiority mindset noodling its way through the ranks of the military? That’s right, the year is 1993, the director is Abel Ferrara, the female nudity is portrayed as either being of minors or done to minors, because … well… I really don’t know. We enjoyed but can’t really recommend that you watch this remakester of a movie that would fit nicely in the Twin Peaks or maybe even Swamp Thing universe. The acting is well-done, the practical effects are pretty damn good, the underagedness is creepy, the deus ex machina is cranked all the way up to the main character’s age, and the big conclusion is simultaneous glorious and, possibly, the single shittiest thing we’ve seen in any of the three films. Join us as we bog down our eyebrows in this no-nonsense episode of Loathsome Things: a good horror movie podcast recommendation!

53. Philip Kaufman’s Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978)

Join us as we embark on an ultra-cosmic journey from some unknown corner of the universe all the way to a post-psychedelic and mega-starchy San Francisco with this tremendous effort in scifi/horror movie remakesmanship! Leonard Nimoy makes one of his greatest non-Star Trek appearances, a studly young Jeff Goldblum does his best Alan Alda impression, Veronica Cartwright shows off some sick hand and vocal skills, Donald “Donny South” Sutherland brings the action and Brooke Adams gets topless instead of the credit she deserves in this sometimes brilliant, sometimes confusing film, which is a strong contender for greatest remake of all time, especially within the horror genre. So, put your favorite face skin on some dog you love and plug your ears into the wild ride that is Loathsome Things: A Horror Movie Podcast for people that don’t like horror movie podcasts, thus our broad appeal!

52. Don Siegel’s Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956)

Cease your philandering ways and listen up, kiddo, for this April we’re putting together a 1-2-3-punch comparison of bodily snatchery starting with the original maybe-Red Scare classic about creepy white people being replaced with even creepier white people in well-to-do 1950s America. Sure, that was one sentence! From the director that brought you Flaming Star and Two Mules for Sister Sara comes this dazzling classic starring the guy Piranha and none other than Dagmar Wynter and her flagrantly stuffed brazier. Hey, wait a minute, you’re not our listeners! Oh well, it would seem you’ve been replaced a la Crapgras Delusion, so you’ve no reason not to tune in to this episode of Loathsome Things: the most patriotic podcast in these United States!

49. Kyle Edward Ball’s Skinamarink (2022)

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!

47. Terence Fisher’s The Curse of Frankenstein (1957)

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!

46. Ken Wiederhorn’s Shock Waves (1977)

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!

44. Amando de Ossorio’s Tombs of the Blind Dead (1972)

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.

43. Rob Zombie’s House of 1000 Corpses (2003)

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!

40. David Bruckner’s Hellraiser (2022)

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!

38. Brian De Palma’s Carrie (1976)

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!

36. Lawrence Kasdan’s Dreamcatcher (2003)

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.

34. Alex Garland’s Men (2022)

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!

33. Hagazussa (2017) ein Film von Lukas Feigelfeld

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. Now that feuer of you are interested hearing what we’re going to chuckle about, please watch the movie and listen to this newest episode of Loathsome Things: A Horror Movie Podcast!

28. Lew Lehman’s The Pit (1981)

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. Specifically, children that want to see a lot of nudity… and want to watch one of their own commit weird sex crimes… Yikes! It’s going to be one of those episodes, folks, so join us for the 1-year anniversary, and possibly final episode of Loathsome Things: A Horror Movie Podcast!

26. José Mojica Marins’ At Midnight I’ll Take Your Soul (1964)

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. An early example of a director that grew up watching horror movies, then going on to make the horror movie he wanted to see. Join us for this breath of foamy air on the latest episode of Loathsome Things: A Horror Movie Podcast!

25. Blair Erickson’s Banshee Chapter (2013)

We got giggly and dark while reviewing this MK Ultra meets Numbers Stations spooky mash-up starring Ted Levine. We mentioned the secret ending of this movie before the spoilers… and then forgot to talk about it at the end… because we’re good at this. Join us on a fun romp through scariest movie about being friend-zoned in this, the latest episode from America’s best horror movie podcast!

24. Gareth Evans’ Apostle (2018)

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! Either way, give yourself a listen to the newest episode of Loathsome Things: A Horror Movie Podcast!

This harbinger of the folk-horror renaissance won several FX awards and is a source of hope for the bright future of non-practical creature effects in cinema.

22. Tobe Hooper’s The Funhouse (1981)

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.”

19. Sophia Takal’s Black Christmas (2019)

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!

14. Jeff Kwitney’s Beyond the Door III (1989)

Buckle up for the wild ride that was called Train Amok everywhere but in the US! John and Josh tour the beautiful Yugoslavian countryside from… a train that we didn’t realize was going to be the… antagonist of this film? It’s confusing, like finding a box labeled “Explosives” to be filled with shotgun shells. But, it’s also kind of great. Watch it first: you won’t be sorry!

13. Ben Wheatley‘s In The Earth (2021)

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!

12. Jack Hill‘s Spider Baby (1967)

AKA The Maddest Story Ever Told. AAKA Cannibal Orgy. AAAKA I Know Where Lon Chaney Jr. Sweated in the Summer of 1964. This ancestor of the American Domesticated Cannibal tradition offers a thrilling look at the later Lon Chaney Jr, early work of Sig Haig, and some deeply troubling portrayals of African Americans and rape victims. Yikes! It’s Jack Hill’s perpetually disturbing horror-canonical Spider Baby!

10. Bob Clark‘s Deathdream (1974)

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.

6. Nick Szostakiwskyj’s Black Mountain Side (2014)

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!

5. Christian Nyby/Howard Hawks’ The Thing from Another World (1951)

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.

4. David Prior‘s The Empty Man (2020)

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!

2. Frank Henenlotter‘s Basket Case (1982)

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. That is to say, we were watching this movie before it was cool If you would like to recommend a movie, congratulate us for our outstanding achievements in podcasting, correct our factual errors, criticize our word-choice, or sneak into our bedrooms to steal our thick wads of cash, you can do so by reaching out to us onTwitter: @LoathsomePodInstagram: @LoathsomePodFacebook: @LoathsomePodcastEmail: LoathsomeThings@gmail.com

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.
