New Horror Movies Ep. 002: Why Am I Even Doing This?

What’s your favorite Horror movie? Is it the one where the typically comedic actor plays a dead serious role of a father whose wife and children are stuck with him in another country where violence and anarchy have erupted, threatening their lives for certain death if they find no escape? Or is your favorite scary movie the one where the large, quiet, seemingly unstoppable monster from the future comes and hunts down and exterminate a young woman, killing several others in his path one by one, until the young lady ends up being the final girl to face him? Or is your new favorite scary movie the “requel” called Scream (2022)? If so, you’re in luck because in Jay of the Dead’s New Horror Movies, Episode 002, Jay and his suspicious, usual suspect cohorts Dave “Dr. Shock” Becker, The Gillman Joel Robertson and Mister Watson do their best to take a stab at dancing around a spoiler-free review of Scream (2022), but alas, to no avail. So, make sure you see the new movie before you listen to our review!

And of course, also in Episode 002 we have Dr. Walking Dead Kyle Bishop’s segment, The Dead Zone, where he discusses the grave importance and viral influence of his all-time favorite zombie film, George Romero’s Dawn of the Dead (1978)”. Of course, the other four hosts bring you their individual Specialty Segments, which include Mister Watson’s Horror Hierarchy, Gillman Joel’s Horror Lagoon, Dr. Shock’s Macabre Film History and Jay of the Dead’s It Could Happen to You Horror segments! This episode also features a couple of other new-year Horror movie releases as we review The Kindred (2022), Sleep (2022) and See for Me (2022). (The last one is barely a Horror film, but Jay of the Dead will defend its inclusion here.) We also bring you reviews of some recent, 2021 Horror movies, such as The Night House (2021), Detention (2021), Jakob’s Wife (2021) and a Horror short film with the benign- and innocuous-sounding title, Quiet Room Bears (2021)!

And for this episode’s edition of A ’70s, ’80s or ’90s HORROR MOVIE THAT MIGHT BE NEW FOR YOU from John Kenneth Muir’s “Horror Films of the 1980s Decade” book, your hosts review William Lustig’s infamous Maniac (1980).
