Episode 175 – Woodchipper Massacre (1988)

from Dark Night of the Podcast · host Troy Escamilla, Roger Conners

This week, Roger and Troy tackle Woodchipper Massacre, a backyard horror “classic” that proves you don’t need a budget, logic, or even good audio to make a movie. They unpack the film’s chaotic family dynamic, questionable acting choices, and the surprising lack of, well, woodchipper massacres. From overacting kids to scenes that drag on like a home movie gone wrong, the guys find plenty to laugh (and groan) about. They debate whether it’s so-bad-it’s-good or just plain bad, all while appreciating the strange charm of DIY ‘80s horror. It’s low-budget lunacy at its finest, and somehow, you can’t look away.
