Episodes

Side Dish 13 – Frankenstein
Overview If you’re going to talk about original horror movies, why not use one of the original horror stories? Frankenstein was not only one of the first horror, it was one of Edison’s and considered too shocking for most people. It is a black and white silent and and is only 12 minutes long. So...
-
S06 E08 – Cargo
Overview If you like Martin Freeman, especially when doing a movie in Australia, then this is for you. Zombie apocalypse. Ho hum, right? Nah, not this one. It has a very focused character story. With a couple interesting twists on the regular zombie tropes, this is a movie you won’t want to blink...
-
Side Dish 12 – Faust
Overview Classic story and classic movie. This story has been redone multiple times – I mean, who doesn’t like movies with the devil – but this definitely the one to watch. It has fantastic effects for a silent film. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0016847 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faust...
-
S06 E07 – Goodnight Mommy
Overview Gotta ask – what is creepier? The cockroaches crawling over the woman’s face or the boy(s)? Did I mention creepy? Probably because much of this movie is creepy. And it keeps you guessing and wondering. If the definition of horror is to make one unsettled, this movie nailed it....
-
Local Cuisine 02 – Morrigan Milam
Overview Morrigan Milam is our next focus for local cuisine. She has a Christmas slasher and a witch focused story, along with some greats like Crackcoon (after cocaine bear). Imdb – https://www.imdb.com/name/nm9454937/ Movies Crackcoon XXX-Mas Coven of the Black Cube YouTube The post Local…

Side Dish 11 – Night of the Demon
Overview Classic black and white with a kaiju like demon. One of those with different versions for American and British audience, because we can’t handle it I guess. You might be surprised at how good this movie looks and that it hasn’t been remade. We were surprised by that also. It is a great…
more -
S06E06 – Amer
Overview What the hell is wrong with us! The very first episode of this podcast (well, the first movie we watched) was a movie so screwed up, we questioned our own humanity. And then there’s this gem – Amer. I vote it to be the weirdest one we’ve watched yet. Do you agree? Check it […] The post...
-
Side Dish 10 – Peeping Tom
Overview We love bringing you the movies that have influenced and inspired many of today’s top horror movies. Peeping Tom is definitely one of those. After watching it, do you agree it should be considered the first slasher movie? Or is it more psychological horror? Trying to answer those…
more -
S06E05 – Slumber Party Massacre
Overview We travel back in time to a true pioneer in the horror movie field. No, not because it’s a slasher. No, not because you get the naked (almost) pillow fight. No, it’s not because women are losing their shirts before getting killed. No, it’s not because you have a college group of kids...
-
S06E04 – A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night
Overview I gotta say – this movie was not what it appeared to be. Unless you watch the trailer. Then you get it. But I didn’t. shut up, leave me alone. Anyway – a moody, black and white – almost noirish – film. Not set in the states. It’s gotta be about revenge, she’s really […] The post S06E04 –…
more -
Local Cuisine 01 – Lisa Neeld
Overview We start our new local cuisine with a talk about movies that a local actor, Lisa Neeld, has been in. She has even directed several. Lisa likes to play a bad-ass in her movies. Several movies have her fighting and taking out zombies and bikers. She gets into the movies. Or a psycho, cause...
-
S06E03 – Censor
Overview Ever wanted to watch a movie about watching movies? Well, buckle up buttercup, because Censor is here to give you the most meta horror experience since Scream taught us all to fear landlines. Meet Enid, Britain’s most uptight film censor in the 1980s, who spends her days watching...
-
Side Dish 09 – Diabolique
Overview The definition of horror has changed through the years, as we’ve seen in our episodes. Diabolique is a prime example. Like has been discussed at other times, this would probably be more a thriller now than a horror movie. Nefarious murder has been overshadowed by psychos in masks. That’s...
-
Bonus – 2025 Horror-thon
Overview Once again we held our annual horror fest where we watch 3 horror movies in holiday celebration. This year we were joined by some that had never attended – welcome. We played horror movie bingo, which was a fun time. The choices were interesting this year. Strange Darlings This one was...
-
S06E02 – The Wind
Overview Who can be afraid of the wind? Sure, it’s helps create scary ambiance in tons of horror movies – but to have an entire movie dedicated to just it’s spookiness – phppprrrb. (I think I spelled that correctly) Well, let’s take a look at how the wind is scary. Let’s make it spookier – […]…
more -
S06E01 – Raw
Overview Time to join us for yet another wonderful horror movie in our brand new, shiny season. Grab a snack, cuddle up with the tv dinner, or just the good ole’ movie popcorn. Lotsa butter. And get ready to feast. Or don’t. I mean, why the heck would you be eating while watching a French […] The...
-
S06 – Women Directors Intro
Time for a new season, and this time, we’ve collected a great collection of horror movies by women directors. How do women handle horror differently than men? Stick with us and find out. Transcript Season 06 Intro Stephen: [00:00:00] Okay. So Reese, we’ve made it all the way to season six. Yay.…
more -
Side Dish 08: Last Man on Earth
Overview Normally you wouldn’t see a Vincent Price movie on the Horror Lasagna podcast? Why? Because everyone knows him, he’s popular. We tend to look for more obscure movies to talk about and recommend. But this one kinda fits. It’s an early VP movie that happens to be in the public domain. It’s...
-
S05 Bonus – Ti West
Overview Welcome to the great bonus episode for season 05. Rhys got a great idea for this one full season of director rehash. Pick a director that we both loved, but also that had a unique trilogy of movies. And there we go – the Ti West bonus episode. If you’ve stuck with us for […] The post S05...
-
S05E15 – One Missed Call
Overview We’ve watched all types of horror on the Horror Lasagna podcast. One of the many sub-genre’s that is newer is tech horror. We live in a tech world – why not drag it into the horror realm. Like folk horror, except … modern. Of course it would be a Japanese film that truly makes […] The…
more -
Side Dish 07 – The Golem: How He Came Into the World
Overview Another silent film for our public domain Side Dish. This one is a bit creature and a bit demon and mythological. Telling the story of how the golem came to be in the Jewish religion. And this creature does some horrific things – like sweep the floor and get the groceries. An interesting...
-
S05E14 – The Unwelcome
Overview It would be a horrible experience to be attacked in your own home. To fear that you, your wife, and your unborn child, are all in danger. Threatened in the sanctity of your own abode. How would you react? What would you do? If you’re lucky, you get a second chance. A relative passes […]...
-
Side Dish 06 – The Greatest Game
Overview The Most Dangerous Game has had quite a bit of influence in the horror world, and today we view it to add to our growing classic films. There’s a monster, but it’s not some scary beast or supernatural being. It may seem cliche now, but was a unique concept in media at the time. […] The...
-
S05E13 – Housewife
Overview With a name like housewife, you’d think this is a mild movie. A horror movie? Nah. Well, hang tight, buttercup, we’re about to go off the rails. Things start off not too bad – well, except for the disturbing sex. Then they devolve. And then there are the flashbacks, or dreams, or…
more -
S05E12 – Devil Doll
Overview No, this isn’t one of our public domain side dish – though it kinda looks like it. This is another movie by the esteemed Todd Browning from Freaks. Which one is better? Guess it depends. Are they both good? Guess it depends. There are some great effects going on in this one. They really...
-
Side Dish 05 – Carnival of Souls
Overview In our 5th side dish, we look at a newer public domain movie – Carnival of Souls. Inspired by a Twilight Zone episode (which I’m sure you’ll agree is spot on), this movie is a “what is real” exploration. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnival_of_Souls https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0055830...
-
S05E11 – The Nighthouse
Overview Welcome to your new house. No, not that one. The mirror image one. Don’t worry, it will all be fine. And why worry? Your dead husband was cheating on you, wasn’t he? Maybe you’re just going crazy. Or maybe you really are being followed by a non-entity. Maybe you should have just stayed...
-
S05E10 – Victor Crowley
Overview We don’t do a lot of sequels on the Horror Lasagna podcast. Sequels tend to not fit the mold for us telling you about the best horror movies you haven’t seen. In our Director Rehash though, we made an exception for Victor Crowley. The Hatchet series is worth the inclusion though. We both...
-
Side Dish 04 – Vampyr
Overview With all the talk about the new Nosferatu remake, it made sense for the horror dudes to take a look at another classic vampire film – Vampyr. There is a lot to like with this black and white film – even the vampire hater, Rhys, got something out of it. How does it compare […] The post…
more -
S05E09 – The Devil’s Candy
Overview Should you ignore those whisperings you hear? You’re just imagining them, right? They don’t mean anything. Are you creative? Do you play guitar? Or paint? If you answered yes to any of the above, we have the house for you! A great family home with an outbuilding that can be used as an…
more -
Side Dish 03 – The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari
Overview We delve back into early horror with The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. In fact, many consider it the first true horror movie. And it’s definitely one to watch. The German expressionism gives it a bizarre look, kind of like if Chuck Jones was crazy when making Road Runner cartoons. Check out…
more -
S05E08 – Motherly
Listen on your favorite podcast app ^ Overview What the heck is going on here? It’s a movie about a loving mother that only wants to take care of her child. Nothing wrong with that? and she’s right to be cautious – her husband is in jail for murdering a child. So why are the […] The post S05E08 –...
-
Side Dish 02 – Häxan
Overview The video script discusses the 1922 Swedish silent film ‘Haxan,’ directed by Benjamin Christensen. The film, a documentary-style recreation, explores themes of witchcraft and mental illness and is noted for its impressive production quality and vivid imagery. It was controversial at...
-
S05E07 – The Banishing
Overview This time we’re watching a movie that was direct to streaming on the Shudder channel. Shudder has definitely picked up in recent times from a station that only played the cheesiest movies to now doing their own. How does this movie compare to Christopher Smith’s Triangle? Well, of…

Bonus – 2024 Horror – Thon
As many of our long time listeners know, we do a horror-thon every Halloween. We usually have a child or 2 in attendance and sometimes a few others. We pick about 3 or 4 movies we’d like to see for one reason or another and have a go. This year was a great line up: […] The post Bonus – 2024…
more -
Side Dish 01 – House of the Devil
Welcome to our first side dish – a quick talk about a great public domain horror movie. In fact, this one is the first recognized horror movie – House of the Devil from Georges Méliès. While it’s short – 3 minutes – its fascinating to see this put together and be a horror movie (loosely […] The...
-
S05E06 – Something Wicked this Way Comes
Overview Time to revisit our childhood. Oh the pleasant memories – biking to friends houses, staying up all night playing games, pissing our pants from the Mr. Dark and the spiders. Ah, yes, lovely childhood. This one has is more personal for Rhys and I because it was one of our childhood scary...
-
S05E05 – Incident in a Ghostland
Overview If you loved Martyrs (and who didn’t) and are looking for another edge of your seat movie – why not look at another one from Laugier. I mean, Martyrs was such a popcorn thrill fest, who wouldn’t want more? Oh, did I forget the sarcasm tags around that first paragraph? SInce we’re...
-
S05E04 – After Midnight
Overview The first movie by Gardner we watched – The Battery – is a favorite for many reasons. This movie has many of the same qualities – it feels like a Gardner movie. Our hero likes his life, but his girlfriend doesn’t – so she leaves. From there, Hanks life falls apart. Wouldn’t yours if […]...
-
S05E03 – Troll Hunter
Overview We travel to foreign lands today and visit bridges. Why bridges? Well, we have trolls. You see, trolls exist in some countries. In fact, they are hunted and regulated like bears in America. There are various types of trolls – that never showed up in the fairy tales. How do we know this?...
-
S05E02 – The Nun
Overview In this episode, we dive deep into the shadowy corridors of “The Nun,” the supernatural horror film that promised to chill but struggled to thrill. Even when you have a great director like Corin Hardy of The Hallow. It seems that the bigger the budget and the bigger the hype, the less we...
-
S05E01 – Hereditary
Overview We start our visits to past directors with Hereditary by Ari Aster. You tell us – is it demon possession? Is it mental unstability? hmmmmm. What do you think about this and how it compares to Midsommar from Season 03? And which order did you see them and how did that affect your viewing...
-
Season 05 Episode 00 – Director Rehash – Intro
New Season Overview And welcome to our 5th SEASON! We are very excited. Thought we mix it up this time. Every season Rhys creates a theme and chooses movies based on that theme. And we have plans for a couple more seasons already. But for this season, he thought it would be cool to revisit […]…
more -
S04 Bonus – The Menu
Overview So, we finally have a horror movie on Horror Lasagna that’s actually about eating. Time to dig in. I’ll say, they do a good job of distracting you and redirecting what you think the movie is about. Intrigued? Go watch it. 🙂 This is a pretty modern movie – like, oh, last year. Not […]…
more -
S04E10 – Blackcoat’s Daughter
Overview As we wind down Season 04, we give you a great one from A24. The Blackcoat’s Daughter feels like an older movie than it is. If it was grainier, I’d think Ti West did it. The horror is subtle as it builds up and it makes you question what you saw and the sanity […] The post S04E10 –...
-
S04E09 – Battle Royale
Overview Quick – name the movie where a dystopian future takes a bunch of kids and dumps them in a remote location so they can battle for their lives with only one victor. Of course we know that movie? It’s Battle Royale. What? That wasn’t the movie you thought of? You aren’t alone. This Japanese...

Bonus Episode – The Horror Diet
Overview October is special bonus episode time – a treat for you! We’ll start off with clips from the wonderful talk that Rhys has given several times called The Horror Diet. No, it’s not our favorite recipes of food from horror movies. I mean, we’ve watched Texas Chainsaw Massacre, so would you...
-
S04E08 – Cooties
Overview Forget the slashers. Forget the demons. Who cares about the crazy psychological horror. It’s time for the big bad monster horror movie. Something we’ve all been afraid of since middle school. Cooties. Right? They are going to get you – starting with the teachers. Hasn’t every middle…
more -
S04E07 – Last Shift
Overview today we talk about a movie that focuses on the job of police officer. And this poor officer is new to the job, and not prepared for what they get. I don’t know, if I was told to watch an abandoned station as my first assignment, I’d already be reconsidering my job. What’s happening […]...
