Seed of Chucky (2004)
Pervy little killer dolls are no strangers to the show, but what if those little freaks reproduced sexually and their poor kid was sold to Criss Angel? Scary stuff! SEED OF CHUCKY (2004) is both surprisingly ahead of its time AND somehow horribly tacky and gross for its time (and worse 22 years later). If you ever wondered what Chucky working his Stretch Armstrong in silhouette looked like, you’re in luck because he jerks off in this movie and that’s actually one of the less offensive scenes on display.

Island Claws (1980)
It’s still summer and that means you’re not safe in the water yet! This week, the island boys are going crab hunting with ISLAND CLAWS (1980), and film about what happens when capitalism allows people with money to dump radioactive waste wherever they want. And yes, we realize this same thing happened in KILLER CROCODILE - we’re trying to make a point here. The titular monster is (kind of) worth wading through all the character development because damn, who doesn’t want to watch a 10-foot-tall crustacean use its 15-foot claws to murder some random dudes with torches?

The Void (2016)
Are you sick of people being stuck in buildings with vinyl flooring and concrete block walls? Well too bad, cuz we’ve got another batch of poor souls fighting off a death cult and Lovecraftian monsters in this week’s pick, THE VOID (2016). This one just turned 10, so we’re celebrating with a rewatch and a fresh perspective on Astron-6 movies. Is it an entirely new concept? Of course not, but it packs a body horror punch and has incredible low-budget practical effects so we all walked away happy. The same can’t be said for the characters in the film, though… Join our Patreon Buy Some Merch Join our Facebook Group Follow us on Instagram Check our Letterboxd Learn more about your ad choices.

Orca (1977)
That’s right, MORE killer animal content but this time, but this time we get Richard Harris on a pretty obvious bender throughout the movie shoot. ORCA (1977) is a surprisingly competent and may we even say well-done entry to the the JAWS ripoff pantheon that doesn’t get as much discussion as we think it should so here we are. Where else are you going to see a smart aquatic mammal blow up an entire freaking power plant? It’s as awesome as it sounds, trust us.

Lake Placid (1999)
At this point, we’re basically “giant animals attack” movie connoisseurs so why not add to the pile with a turn-of-the-century horror comedy take on the genre? LAKE PLACID (1999) has a stacked cast and the legendary Stan Winston Studios doing sfx, but they seemingly forgot one key ingredient to make it all work - actual funny jokes. Oh well, we’re still here for some crocodile carnage, and we get a ton of it. Plus Betty White is in it!

Last Shift (2014)
It seems wild that confiscated items at a police station are underutilized trope in horror - think about all the weird stuff in evidence rooms, messing with it would lead to creepy stuff happening for sure. At least we have a gem of an indie horror like LAST SHIFT (2014) to show us what kind of trouble those cursed items could cause. You can’t help but feel bad for a rookie cop spending her first day (well, night, but you get the idea) on the job and being tormented by the ghosts of a murder cult. Police hazing is hell!

Jaws the Revenge (1987)
Christmas in July PLUS killer animal PLUS Stay Out of the Damn Water? You know which HMN host picked this week’s movie… It’s a very Matt Kelly Summermas with the film that gave a franchise a sea burial, JAWS: THE REVENGE (1987)! It may not be a good movie, but it’s probably not the worst shark movie we’ve seen, and at least it’s got Michael Cain in it. If you like a little fish psychic in your killer fish plot, well boy howdy have we got the film for you!

Stepfather II (1989)
Daddy issues, you say? Well you’re in luck then, because we’re continuing our backwards trajectory through the evil-guy-your-mom-married franchise with STEPFATHER II: MAKE ROOM FOR DADDY (1989)! This one owes much of its watchability to Terry O’Quinn as the titular bad bonus dad, but let’s not forget we have Meg Foster and Caroline Williams doing some heavy lifting as well! Jonathan Brandis also chews some scenery as a cool skateboarding preteen who is totally relatable or something. Wanna get hitched? Hope you don’t mind it’s TIL DEATH!

Dog Soldiers (2002)
One way to avoid getting eaten by reptiles is to spend a soggy night in the Scottish highlands…. trying to avoid getting eaten by werewolves. DOG SOLDIERS (2002) is a well-loved cult classic and we somehow went 11 years without discussing it directly so it was about time that was rectified. The wolves look great, the pacing is awesome, there are buckets of gore (and so, SO many bullets), and there’s a ton of dry British humor - what more could you ask for? Besides not being werewolf food, of course. Join our Patreon Buy Some Merch Join our Facebook Group Follow us on Instagram Check our Letterboxd Learn more about your ad choices.

Killer Crocodile (1989)
More killer animals this week, now with added radioactive waste! We’re heading to the tropics to investigate rumors of a KILLER CROCODILE (1989) and likely lose some limbs in the process. This Italian mess really shines when the ADR is off, the acting is over the top, and the croc animatronic is front and center (which is, thankfully, pretty often). The plot beats aren’t anything you haven’t seen before, but man, that croc looks awesome when it’s chowing down on people who didn’t take Matt’s advise to STAY OUT OF THE DAMN WATER.

Demonwarp (1988)
Summertime calls for a trip out to the woods for some good old-fashioned Bigfoot hunting! You wouldn’t think a movie called DEMONWARP (1988) would be about killer sasquatch, and on a certain level you’re not wrong - calling this a Bigfoot movie is a simplification of the other absurd stuff that goes on here. There are also zombies and aliens, and yes it’s all supposed to connect. Is it a good movie? Absolutely not, but it does star George Kennedy. Take that as you will.

Underworld (2003)
Fresh from our trip to the hot, dry outback, we return to the city where it always rains and find ourselves in the middle of a centuries-long war between vampires and werewolves. UNDERWORLD (2003) is the story of a hot lady vampire who hasn’t been happy in a long and the werewolf who also never smiles but somehow melts her icy heart without a single drop of on-screen chemistry. Tale as old as time! Who wouldn’t want to be the middle of a vampire/werewolf love sandwich?

Razorback (1984)
Matt’s unquenchable need to see giant animals absolutely destroy unwitting humans has brought us to the lands of bloomin' onions and deer that hop on two legs (aka kangaroos). We’re deep in the ozploitation outback with RAZORBACK (1984), a nasty little film about a massive boar with a tendency to rip shanties and their occupants to pieces. Who’s to blame the boar, though? They say people taste like bacon. Join our Patreon Buy Some Merch Join our Facebook Group Follow us on Instagram Check our Letterboxd Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The House on Sorority Row (1983)
This week Kyle gives us a real deep cut slasher film with 1983's The House on Sorority Row. This movie is more famous for it's name and the 2009 remake than any of it's plot line but it's full of crazy dialogue, a clown killer and really strange kills. Basically, it's perfect for our show!

Silent Hill (2006)
Last week, we braved radioactive waste in Tromaville, only to find ourselves up against underground coal seam fires in SILENT HILL (2006). Now, none of us played the video game, so our enjoyment of this one is subjective, but if you look past the absurd runtime and some poorly-aging CGI, there’s a lot of fun to be had in a little pocket dimension town in West Virginia. And there’s a cult, what more could you ask for? Maybe not being stuck in Silent Hill forever, but that might not be an option once you find your way there… Join our Patreon Buy Some Merch Join our Facebook Group Follow us on Instagram Check our Letterboxd Learn more about your ad choices.

Class of Nuke Em High Part 2 Subhumanoid Meltdown (1991)
The end of the school year is closing in so we’re headed back to Tromaville High for another round of toxic tomfoolery with CLASS OF NUKE EM HIGH 2: SUBHUMANOID MELTDOWN (1991). An obvious favorite in the Kelly household, this excursion finds a himbo reporter falling in love with a science experiment and the entire school battling it out with a squirrel kaiju - seriously! You know we love Troma round these parts, and this week isn’t some sort of turnaround on that sentiment. Let’s get slimy!
