Horror Movie Survival Guide

(11)

Horror Movie Survival Guide is a weekly podcast where two unlikely gorehounds and long time chums, one a hardcore horror fan with a notebook to prove it, and the other finally coming out of the creepy horror fandom closet - watch and talk about horror film from a survival point of view. We ask the question - how can *we* end up as the final girl? Join Julia Marchese and Teri Gamble as we take a deep dive into everything from OG horror to newly released films (but preferably classics on VHS). We'll talk about obscure details that no one else notices, spin off into alternate casting universes, crush on some foxy, dodgy fellows (and creepy uncles), and arm ourselves with the knowledge necessary to become The Final Girl.

THIRST - "Thirst After Sinful Pleasures."

Beautiful performances from Song Kang-ho (Parasite) and Kim Ok-bin who is a force to be reckoned with!

HMSG Interview Tarik Davis! "Predator 2"

Tarik Davis is an actor/writer/avid pop culture consumer based in New York City with a 20 year history of acting, performing improv and writing comedy. He strives to cross-pollinate performance styles and audiences in all his work. Currently you can see Tarik on The Amber Ruffin Show (two seasons available on Peacock TV) as Amber’s announcer, side kick and real life friend!

Tarik has appeared in multiple commercials and television shows such as Late Night with Seth Meyers, Ray Donovan, Friends From College, Last Week Tonight: with John Oliver and more.

Recently Tarik performed in the critically acclaimed Freestyle Love Supreme at the Kennedy Center and at The Booth Theater, in the Broadway run in NYC (2021) - and he hopped in for a weekend as a very special guest of the cast on their final leg of their tour at the Pasadena Playhouse - where Teri roped him into this interview!

In early 2017, Tarik shot a six-minute comedic horror short entitled Page One along with his brothers Don P. Hooper, LeMar McLean and producer Evan Kaufman . This short is based on a full length horror / comedy script that Tarik has been working on for the past 10 years. Tarik also has and continues to write multiple shorts, sketches, monologues and articles which have been published in print and online.

We finally got Julia to dive into the Predator universe with Tarik's iconic choice of Predator 2 (1987) starring the great Danny Glover. We discuss the alternate casting that could've drastically changed this movie and so much more!

We hope you enjoy this fresh episode!!

They started this podcast because they were sick of bullsh!t reviewers dragging down the ratings of possibly guiltless (the verdict is still out) businesses. Together they'll review that review and deliver the TRUTH. Let's sniff out the attention seekers and trolls and bring some integrity back to online reviews. It's time for the hardworking respectable reviewers out there to get their chance to shine! Check them out here!

Terrifier - "I Wished I Was Dead"

We end our clown round with the one of the scariest onscreen clown performances so far. This one is not just scary, but it's terrifying...TERRIFIER (2016) written and directed by Damien Leone. Just the poster alone for this one is haunting. It was a surprising first watch for both of our co-host! Not for the faint of heart!
