Horror Movie Night
by Geekscape
Join Matt, Scott and Kyle each week as they suffer through horror films both forgotten and beloved. The trio capture the excitement and the disappointment of renting movies in the 80’s and 90’s. For every surprising thrill like American Gothic the trio suffer through there's 10 disappointing flops like Terror Toons. The show combines the nostalgia of renting videos with a snarky comedic blend that will make you feel sentimental while simultaneously putting a smile on your face. So dust off your VCR, make some popcorn and check behind every door because it’s… Horror Movie Night.

Creature of the Black Lagoon (1954)
It may be getting chilly outside, but that doesn’t mean we’re going to let you forget to STAY OUT OF THE DAMN WATER. Somehow, we have finally made our way backwards through the Creature trilogy, ending with this week’s discussion of CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON (1954). It’s just a really good...
-
Ghosthouse (1988)
Do you love the Evil Dead series? Of course you do - but are you a big enough fan to know and love Evil Dead 3? No, we’re not talking about Army of Darkness, we’re talking about the Italian Evil Dead 3, Umberto Lenzi’s GHOSTHOUSE (1988)! The connections to Sam...
-
Halloween 5 The Revenge of Michael Myers (1989)
It’s October and Scott’s pick this week, so why not torment his cohosts with what some would call the worst of the Halloween franchise? They are demonstrably wrong, and the guys are going to change some hearts and minds by singing the praises of HALLOWEEN 5: THE REVENGE OF MICHAEL MYERS (1989).…

Poltergeist II: The Other Side (1986)
It's officially the month of Halloween and we are kicking it off with Matt diving into Poltergeist II: The Other Side. This long awaited sequel was viewed as a disappointment when released; has it gotten better over 40 years? How has it's depictions of indigenous people aged? Is that worm moment...
-
House II The Second Story (1987)
We round out Listener Submitted Month with another part 2, this one featuring a lot more elder abuse (it’s ok, the great-great-grandpa is kind of an immortal corpse) and a lot less butt stuff. HOUSE ll: THE SECOND STORY (1987) decides to not pick up where the first movie left off and instead…
more -
Wishmaster 2: Evil Never Dies (1999)
Listener Submitted Month continues with a film about an evil genie obsessed with granting nefarious wishes to his victims' butts. Seriously! WISHMASTER 2 (1999) has two different rectum-centric deaths, which may not seem like a lot on paper, but really add up in a 90-minute gorefest. A group of...
-
Triangle (2009)
Listener Submitted Month continues with the time-loop slasher film TRIANGLE. When this was released in 2009 Matt and Scott watched it for Reddit Horror Club to mixed results but neither followed up with it for 15 years. Will they like it more or less this time around? Is it Kyle's first watch or...
-
Green Room (2016)
We kick off Listener Submitted Month with Green Room. This punk rock horror revenge film is a masterclass of suspense, violence and standing up against fascism, so obviously it was totally up our alley! While moments made us yell out loud, it also captivated us and lead to a deep conversation…

Cry_Wolf (2006)
Do you miss the days of AIM chatrooms, razor-thin eyebrows and Jon Bon Jovi’s failed acting career? If so, we’ve got a long-forgotten gem for you this week, 2005’s CRY_WOLF! Full of twists, turns, and irritating character decisions, this is perfect for the movie watcher that wants a little…
more -
Autopsy of Jane Doe (2016)
It takes a lot to spook the HMN boys, but the sound of a little toe-bell ringing is forever going on the list of sounds we hope to never hear in real life. THE AUTOPSY OF JANE DOE (2016) is celebrating its tenth anniversary so we can finally discuss it on the show! There are a ton of ways that...
-
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...
-
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...
-
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...
-
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...
-
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...
-
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...

Best of Year 11
It's been 11 years since our first episode ever came out... here's the long awaited best of Year 11 (pulling clips from Episodes 501-550) Join our Patreon Buy Some Merch Join our...

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...
-
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...
-
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...
-
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...
-
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...

Kyle Talks with Zeshaan Younus about I'VE SEEN ALL I NEED TO SEE
On a very Horror Movie Night side quest, Kyle sits down with filmmaker Zeshaan Younus about the haunting indie feature I've Seen All I Need To See, coming out June 1. Join our Patreon Buy Some Merch Join...
-
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...
-
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...
-
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…

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...
-
Godzilla vs Biollante (1989)
This week the boys get a little Kaiju by discussing the Godzilla battle film "Godzilla vs Biollante" in which Tokyo's most toxic lizard battles a plant monster with the soul of a dead little girl inside of it (no we did not make that up) Join our Patreon Buy...
-
Blade (1998)
We’ve been holding onto this one for a decade and finally decided to run a stake through the heart of our dreams of a new addition to the franchise, so it’s finally time to ice skate uphill with the baddest vampire hunter of all time, BLADE (1998)! Now, it might be the nostalgia talking, but this...
-
Big Trouble in Little China (1987)
This week we are back to talking about Horror Adjacent content with the John Carpenter Action/Fantasy film "Big Trouble in Little China". What this movie lacks in horror it more than makes up for in monsters and nostalgia! Join our Patreon Buy Some Merch...
-
Dolly Dearest (1991)
You’re not gonna believe this, but we’re talking killer dolls this week and it’s not a Matt pick. After years of will-they-won’t-they, we are finally discussing DOLLY DEAREST (1991), brought to us all by Kyle of all people. It’s got a possessed doll, it’s got an ancient curse, it’s got bad…
more -
The Sect (1991)
Do you think we’ve watched enough Argento this spring? If you said no, then you’re in luck, because we have another dose of Italian weirdness with 1991’s THE SECT (aka THE DEVIL’S DAUGHTER)! Co-written and produced by Dario Argento, this also taps another HMN favorite, Michele Saovi, as director…

Matt's Interview with Clint Howard at Creature Feature Weekend 2025 (Scranton)
Right now the guys are at Creature Feature Weekend in Gettysburg where Scott will be moderating a panel with Jeffery Combs and Matt will be moderating a panel with the cast of The Toxic Avenger as well as Quinn Lord from Trick R Treat. If you're listening to this the day it came out come to...

976-Evil (1988)
It’s the late 80s and Robert frickin' Englund is coming out with his directorial debut, there’s definitely no way this movie can be boring, right? Well… may we point out the slog that is 976-EVIL (1988)? While there are some fun scenes to be had, the movie is kind of a bland retread of EVILSPEAK...

Kyle talks with CHK Comics about AHA! A Horror Anthology
Kyle chats with Chris Stall (C) and Kris Mendoza (K) of CHK Comics about their upcoming book AHA! A Horror Anthology. Join us for an inspiring chat about the importance of giving new creators a chance and what DIY looks like in the indie comic world. The Kickstarter for AHA! A Horror Anthology is...
-
Suspiria (1977)
It’s our 550th episode, time to class up this joint a little with a genre favorite - Dario Argento’s SUSPIRIA (1977)! Who doesn’t love a little giallo action about ballerinas and witches, with a side of maggots and some barbed wire tumbling? The plot may be inscrutable at times, but what it lacks...
-
Crimson Peak (2015)
Based on its title, it may be inferred that CRIMSON PEAK (2015) is about vampires - the logic is sound, if somewhat flawed. This was Kyle’s logic when he chose it for us to discuss, as he had never seen it before, so he was quite perplexed when the bloodsucking never happened and ghosts are...

Matt Interviews Ghostface Stuntmen from Scream at Creature Feature Weekend Scranton
Since Scream 7 got released this weekend we decided to release the interview Matt did at Creature Feature Weekend Scranton with Anthony Cecere and Lee Waddell. Both portrayed Ghostface in the original Scream film as well as iconic stunts in Nightmare on Elm Street, Ghostbusters and other…

Scream 4 (2011)
Nailing the coffin shut on Franchise February, we make our way back to a beloved series to see how it’s aged. The answer? Better than most of Sidney Prescott’s friends and family but honestly, that’s not too hard because most of them end up skewered. SCREAM 4 (2011) was such a step up from its...
-
Texas Chainsaw 3D (2012)
We are just slicing right through Franchise February and have found ourselves in the armpit of Texas as we inherit our grandmother’s mansion. Too bad we didn’t read the letter she left for us, because if he had, we would’ve spared everyone from TEXAS CHAINSAW 3D (2013). Too late now - Leatherface...

Friday the 13th (2009)
A Friday the 13th during Franchise February? You know we had to go back 17 years to the day for a rewatch of FRIDAY THE 13TH (2009). It’s not a particularly good movie, but as Matt points out, it might be the best F13 sequel we got post-JASON LIVES, but that’s a pretty low bar to begin with. Who...
-
Hellraiser (1987)
It’s cold and snowy out, why not stay in and work on a puzzle? There’s this weird box we can’t seem to get open and it’s tearing us apart to find out what’s inside… Welcome to Franchise February, which we’re kicking off with an all-time favorite that we somehow never discussed until now - the...

Riki-O The Story of Ricky (1991)
Matt takes us off the beaten path once again with the splatter-packed kung fu film Riki-O the Story of Ricky! This outrageous film from 1991 plays out like if Peter Jackson made a micro-budget karate movie. Crushed heads, empty eyeball sockets and reassembling muscles is just part of the pure…

Decoys (2004)
There’s nothing quite like an early 2000s hot-alien-girls-at-college movie during a massive snowstorm, and that’s exactly what your boys here at HMN have on the syllabus for you this week. When you consider the fact that DECOYS (2004) is set in January in Canada, the absence of nude alien women...

Streaming Now - Beast of War (2025)

Mirror Mirror II: Raven Dance (1994)
We had so much fun last year with its predecessor, we decided to get right to killer mirror sequel no one asked for early on in 2026. MIRROR MIRROR 2: RAVEN DANCE (1994) isn’t a good movie, but it definitely has its moments, from the on-screen antics of Roddy McDowell and William Sanderson, to…
