In each episode, Patrick Hamilton and Gena Radcliffe unpack all the gory details of horror cinema's least discussed topic: the characters. From Friday the 13th to Nightmare on Elm Street and beyond, our mission is to detail each hack, slash, and decapitation in the hopes that a victim's untimely end is just the beginning of the jokes we can make about them.

All this, plus we take a detour into Stephen King territory, we don’t stay quiet about Choose Your Own Deathventure, and star and co-writer Kate Siegel gets the flowers she deserves!! Check it out!!

Thank Ghostface It’s Friday! Rent your favorite scary movie and join us as we dive into the ultimate 90s slasher, Scream.

It's October!! It's our 300th episode!! It's Bill Paxton skipping in a cemetery? It's ALL those things and more as we celebrate the horror flicks of 1983 and our tricentennial with one of the gang from We Hate Movies and returning champion Stephen Sajdak!! First, we've unearthed a slasher gem from the grave: MORTUARY!! This film has everything: Shag-adelic Frankensteins, Billy Beer, sunken living rooms, Chekov's Phone Co., the Boogie Van code, improvised grab-ass, multiple tummy stabbings, slasher disco tracks, Greg's Dad, aka The Main Character of the movie, and a beachside Sheriff's office we'd all like to work at!! All this, an in-depth analysis of every nightgown worn in the film, and stomach-centric Choose Your Won Deathventure are all waiting for you!! Share this episode with someone you love. Even someone you'd love to embalm alive - we won't judge.

Hold us close because we’re teetering over the edge as we discuss the season - if not the series - finale of Hannibal on the DISH BY DISH: A Hannibal Rewatch! Your eyes do not deceive you - this is the second episode of the week!! But it’s not all good news as we peruse the menu of Season 3’s final episode, The Wraith of the Lamb! We discuss the show’s difficulty with keeping red food coloring and Karo syrup in stock, we wonder what the Murder Stab Motel’s Yelp reviews must be like, and compare Will and Jack’s many collateral damage-infused plans! All this plus a series wrap-up convo, and we wonder how many stab wounds three people can take before they just run out of blood. We hate to watch them go, but we love to watch Hannibal leave!

What kind of movie is 1986’s KILLER PARTY? Patrick thinks it’s a perfect “U-shaped film” with the high points coming at the beginning and end. Gena calls it the Amazon Women On The Moon of slashers. Our guest and Returning Champion, Brennan Klein, believes the narrative is unstuck in time, like a Christopher Nolan puzzle box. But nothing in heaven nor on Earth can prepare you for this slobs vs. snobs vs. ghost slasher vs. hair metal band horror/comedy hybrid. Along the way, we discuss dramatic priests, comb-over mullets, more smoking bread, and the existence of a real band named White Sister... and that’s just the first 10 minutes of this thing!! Folks, we may have found the most Kill By Kill horror movie of all time! Yes, of course we play Choose Your Own Deathventure. Yes, we spend a good five minutes on the legality of burying someone in your own backyard. Yes, there is a #GetBunked death. Yes, this episode description is too long! Also, stay tuned for a SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT at the end of the episode. This movie is A LOT.

We have a message for you... and you’re not going to like it. Well, maybe you’ll love it!! We’re investigating the 1987 John Carpenter classic PRINCE OF DARKNESS with Returning Champion and Kill By Kill artist-in-residence Josh Hollis! Along the way, we scientifically examine why critics feel that horror movie characters need to be aware they’re in a horror movie, discuss painted-on polos, wonder if Meatloaf is filming a video on the same set, pitch a “buddy cop” flick for Jerry Seinfeld and the Vlasic Pickle Stork, consider demonic facials, and ask - is this movie a secret sequel to THE VISITOR? All that, plus we play a swirling round of Choose Your Own Deathventure and talk mirror-fingering. Like adults do.

Thank Jigsaw It’s Friday! Play a little game with us called #Sawsgiving and you’ll be in for a special surprise - the one, the only Stephen Sajdak of We Hate Movies! Together, we’re going to try to piece together the plot of a Saw sequel when we’ve only seen the first movie to begin with. Along the way, we talk slab peen, we try to define what makes a “parallel-a-sequel,” we debate how your Gymkata skills are hindered by having your mouth sewn shut, and we desperately try to tell one lunk of a detective from another. Of course, we play Choose Your Own Trap-venture, explore Saw’s connection to ECW, and demand to know the relationship between Donnie Walhberg and his dungeon rat friend! It’s a buffet of rusty green nonsense for the whole family. (Please do not listen to this with your family).
