  16. Malignant: Y.S.B.B.

    Take the wild ride with us as we talk about James Wan's newset film: Malignant.

  17. Body Melt: I came here for a body melt but all I got was two hunks

    In this episode we tackle Derek's choice of film, Phillip Brophy's 1993 Bodymelt. The synopsis for this film is as follows: A mad scientist's (Ian Smith) vitamin pill causes horrific side-effects in its suburbanite consumers. However, I absolutely would not rely on that bit of information...

  22. Near Dark: Finger Lickin' Good

    In this episode we talk about Kathryn Bigelow's Near Dark. A gloomy film about a group of transient Vampires as old as the stars.

  23. Nazi Punks Fuck Off: Green Room

    In the 10th episode of Ghoul Pool, Derek and Justin tackle Jeremy Saulnier's Green Room. This 2015 siege thriller/horror film is an absolute masterclass in suspense and tension. We had an absolute blast talking about this film and would highly recommend it to anyone who hasn't seen it yet!

  28. Burned at The Stake: From Dusk Til Dawn

    This is a segment I cut out of the original edit where we went on a tangent about vampires, remakes, and people's bad opinions about film. I definitely express opinions about horror that will make enemies. Burn me at the stake.

  29. From Dusk Til Dawn: Corpse Riffs

    In this episode Justin and Derek talk about the Robert Rodriguez film From Dusk Til Dawn. Ghoul Pool has been away for a minute, but we are back and tackling the blood soaked Thriller/Horror film written by Quentin Tarantino.

  30. Lobotomy Quota Fulfilled: Session 9

    Justin and Jimmy revisit 2001's Session 9! Directed by Brad Anderson and filmed entirely on location at Danvers State Hospital. When I (Justin) first watched this film in 2006 I really thought it was terrible and offered nothing of interest. Upon my recent re-watch in 2020 I found it to be...

  31. The Blair Witch Cast: Time is a Motherfucker
