25: Elves
11/13/23 • 80 min
As we near the holiday season, Bryan and Dave darken your doorstep with the low-budget howling madness of 1989's Elves, a movie that under-delivers on elves and over-delivers on incest. If you've ever wondered what Jim Wynorski's version of Gremlins would be this one lands pretty close to the mark as Dan "Grizzly Adams" Haggerty attempts to uncover the truth about a murderous elf creature and protect her from Nazis and her own sadistic mother while chain smoking.

24: The Watcher in the Woods w/guest Teri Gamble (Bonus)
Bryan and Dave are joined by Teri Gamble of the Horror Movie Survival Guide podcast to talk about Disney's bizarro 80's period where they experimented with more mature films resulting in one of their most easily-forgotten titles, The Watcher in the Woods. At one time, Disney producers and executives were convinced that this was going to be their finest hour, a horror movie to rival The Exorcist. Nowadays, if it's remembered at all, it's remembered for not making a whole lot of sense and having been pulled from theaters for extensive reshoots and two endings that had to be thrown out.

26: Blood Rage
Just in time for Thanksgiving, Bryan and Dave dive head-first into the wildly inconsistent shit show that is Blood Rage. Marvel at the utterly deranged performance from Louise Lasser, thrill to the low budget gory special effects that are way better than the movie deserves, cringe like you've never cringed before to the movie's many intimate and sexy scenes that encapsulate the early 1980's like few other horror movies. It's a real journey.
