Episode 177 – The Dorm that Dripped Blood (1982)

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

Troy and Roger pack their bags and head to winter break with The Dorm That Dripped Blood, a slasher that asks the important question: how much are these students being paid to clean out an abandoned dorm during their Christmas break? They chat about the film’s surprisingly moody atmosphere, its grungy campus setting, and a cast of students who maybe should’ve taken the strange noises a little more seriously. The guys break down the film’s standout kills (including one involving a pressure cooker—yes, really), along with its slow-burn build-up to a reveal that firmly roots it in early ’80s slasher territory. They also touch on the confusing motive of the killer and the delightfully bleak tone the movie leans into. It’s gritty, it’s low-budget, it’s a campus horror time capsule, and the hosts are here for every last blood-spattered hallway echo. Find out more at https://dark-night-of-the-podcast.pinecast.co
