Dead Is Better

Hey kids! We're back! Do you like Mississippi delta blues AND vampires? Well you're in luck! Today we take a look at Sinners! Is this a fangtastic film or does it suck worse than my vampire puns? Listen and find out.

It's been a while but we're back. Today to honor the late great Ozzy Osbourne we're taking a look at the only horror movie he ever actually had a role in, 1986's Trick Or Treat. RIP Ozzy.

We're back! We think we might have the recording problems solved. Yay for us! At least we aren't having the type of studio problems that the Foo Fighters are having in today's movie Studio 666!

Just when you thought we were gone forever, we have returned! Kinda like every slasher villian ever. Or herpes. The point is you can't get rid of us that easily. Anyways, sorry for the long absence. It's hard for Andrew to edit episodes while having a mental breakdown. But we finally got him out of that tree and now we bring you our thoughts on the cinematic disasterpiece that is Crackcoon!

Normally this is where I'd make some dick and fart jokes about the episode but the technical difficulties gremlin got us again, hence the long absence. Our microphone decided to be evil and the sound quality of this episode was really loud, buzzy, and bad. I've done my best to fix it but can only do so much as I am technologically illiterate. Hope you enjoy the show anyway. Oh yeah, we watched Smile 2.

We're back! Today's movie is possibly the weirdest origin story for Professor X we've ever seen. Or at least thats what Andrew thinks due to a combination of head injuries and ADD. He thinks all James Macavoy movies are prequels to X Men. Anyways... Today we speak a whole lot about Speak No Evil.

Ho ho ho! Ho ho ho! Now that I'm done describing the hosts of The View, merry Yulemas everyone! We got a holiday stocking stuffer for you today, just in time for Christmas. In addition to Tony professing his undying love for Nickelback, today we talk about the new holiday horror It's A Wonderful Knife. Have a listen and from all of us at Dead Is Better have a happy holiday season. And if you don't celebrate holidays, we'll, happy Wednesday I guess. I dont know. That's not on us. Be less boring.

We're back and it's Pooh-in' time! Wait... that didn't sound right... anyways. We watched Winnie The Pooh: Blood And Honey 2. We also forced friend of the podcast and Andrew's nephew Chaz to watch it and join us as punishment for having us watch the first one. It's called payback Chaz! So how does this one stack up against the cinematic disasterpiece that was the original? Listen and find out!

We're back and looking for thrills. Cheap thrills to be specific. And preferably ones that don't lead to legal issues or having to use special shampoo on your downstairs. So we'll just watch a movie called Cheap Thrills instead and call it good. Ever wonder what it would be like if the sports guy from Anchorman started paying you to do Jackass stunts only for it to spiral out of control? Well that's oddly specific but you're in luck because that's exactly this movie. Check it out!

We're back! We got a very special show for you today! We have special guest, longtime fan and official embalmer of the Dead is Better podcast Shannon on the show! And to add to that awesomeness we're celebrating the 20th anniversary of Shaun of the Dead by spending the episode talking about how freaking awesome it is. So get the car, go to your mum's, kill Phillip, get Liz, go to the Winchester, turn on the Dead is Better podcast, and wait for this to all blow over. Or, maybe just that last bit.

We're back! Did you ever want to watch Nic Cage act 100% serious and not at all over the top in a post apocalyptic family drama with evil furry Stretch Armstrong creatures? No? Neither did we. But we watched Arcadian anyway. Listen to our analysis of the least Nic Cagiest Nic Cage movie and be sure to tune in next time for a very special guest!

We're back and it's about to get all Freaky up in here! Because we watched Freaky. And 2 of the 3 of us recently escaped from a traveling freak show, but mostly it's the movie thing. You know how at some point every one of us has said "I wish there was a Freaky Friday style horror movie where Vince Vaughn acts like a teenage girl for most of the run time"? No? Just me? Well here it is anyway. Check it out.

We're back and we got big news! We watched a movie! I know right!? Shocking revelation here! Oh, yeah. Tony got engaged too. Sorry ladies and that one weird homeless guy. Jes off the market until his fiancee comes to her senses. Anyways. We watched Abigail and we can't say much about it without major spoilers so watch it first and then come back here for our scintillating and oh so witty analysis. Heh. Heh. Analysis has "anal" in it.

Hey! We're back! Today we go on a nature hike. In A Violent Nature to be exact! See what I did there? Ha ha... anyways... Ever wonder what it'd be like if they turned a walking simulator into a horror movie? Me either. But you definitely get to see a slasher get his cardio workout in this one. Check it out.

We're back finally! Sorry for the brief hiatus to both of you who ten. Andrew had to learn how to use a whole new editing program and, well, learning isn't exactly his thing. Anyways, today we talk about Totally Killer, which is what you get when you cross Back to the Future, Scream, and any number of 80s high school movies

We got a doozy today folks. Motorcycle zombie? Check. Zombie boyscouts? Check. Questionable romance between a mentally disabled man and a severed head? Check. Graveyard sex? That's a big ol check! That's right, it could only be Cemetery Man!

M-O-O-N that spells we finished The Stand! Join us as we discuss the finer points of back alley surgery, care for the elderly (don't let em go a wanderin'), and Trashcan Man being the hero we needed all along. Also, Stephen King still can't write an ending.

M-O-O-N! That spells new episode! You ever wonder if Lutenant Dan, Patrick from SpongeBob and mime Rob Lowe could survive the 2020 pandemic? I know I have!And youre in luck because today we talk about the first half of The Stand. Only the first half because it's really frigging long (that's what she said)!

Another episode already? Yup. What did you do to deserve this? Oh, you know full well what you did. And we're not mad, just disappointed. As punishment you have to listen to us talk about today's movie The Dark and the Wicked. Maybe next time you'll think twice. SMH.

Attention passengers! We're back! Expect a bumpy road ahead as we talk about today's road trip from hell, The Passenger! It's a heartwarming tale of one poor sap's really REALLY bad day at work and the amateur traveling life coach who takes him under his wing to try to guide him to a better tomorrow. And murders. There's, like, some gruesome murders in there too. Fun!

Hey! We didn't get canceled! It's a miracle! Today's movie is about how it only takes one little prick to cause big problems. We talk about our pointiest creature feature yet, Splinter.

Well, here it is folks. The episode that will undoubtedly get us canceled. Or at least it would if more people actually listened to us. Languishing in obscurity for the win! Anyway, today we talk about The Blackening.

It's been a while (beenawhiiile), but we're back! Sorry, we were on house arrest. But in our defense, the sign specified shirt and shoes were required. It said nothing about pants! Anyhoo... coincidentally enough today's movie is about the horrors of house arrest. Housebound!

We're finally back! Ever wonder what it would be like if the dude from Psych wrote and directed a movie that was a combination of Waiting, The Strangers, and a bit of Texas Chainsaw 2? Yeah, me either. But thats what we got with today's movie, Gravy!

We're going a little trip today, peoples! A Hell Trip as a matter of fact. All the way to Africa for this one. Im not sure, but Africa may be owed an apology after this flick. Stay tuned after the show if you've ever been curious about what kind of auditory jackassery usually gets cut from the show for pacing or time, but this time I decided to throw some back in at the end for funsies.

We're back peoples! And we got another Argentinian treat for you from the same guys who brought you When Evil Lurks. Today we talk about Terrified, the movie that answers the question of "What would happen if you had 3 episodes of the X Files all happening in one neighborhood at the same time?" I can't be the only one who has wondered that, right?

Wow, we got ourselves a humdinger for you today, folks. Thanks to our favorite embalmer in the whole wide world, Shannon, today we're talking about the cinematic masterpiece that is Zombie Boobies... I mean STRIPPERS! Zombie Strippers! Not since Schindler's List has there been such a moving piece of cinema. And as a bonus, Tony goes off the rails for a bit with stories from his childhood that he should probably be telling to a therapist. But you, dear listeners, get to hear it instead! Hooray!

Happy Festivus, Merry Christmas and Merry Kissmyass! It's jingly bell times, and as a gift to all 5 of you loyal listeners, we watched the big kahuna of bad movies. We've been dancing around it for years, but for you, dear listeners, we suffered the glorious disasterpiece that is Troll 2! Listen to our sanity unravel as we talk about one of the best worst movies ever. Enjoy, and have a happy whatever you celebrate.

We got a doozy here all the way from Argentina. Today we find out what happens When Evil Lurks. And just wow. I honestly don't even know what to say here. We make our usual jokes and stuff because if we stopped joking, I think we'd die. Kinda like if a shark stops swimming. We're joke sharks. But seriously, no disrespect to this one. Spoiler: it's a banger. Listen in to find out why.

We're back and we got Cooties! No, not the kind you get from spring break in Tijuana. The movie about zombie grade schoolers written by a team up of the guy who wrote Saw and one of the writers from Glee. Yes really. It's our most kid killingest movie yet!

We're back peoples! Today's movie is what happens when an anthology movie and an improv class get a little too frisky and forget to use a rubber. Today we talk about the Shudder original, Sacre Me.

We're back and today we talk about a movie that is definitely a film we watched. Yup. It sure was. We watched the ridiculously titled Natty Knocks aka Bill Moseley needed a paycheck. In the movie "lore" Natty may knock only nine times but we certainly knock this movie way more than that.

We're back peoples! And so is uber hot goth demon Angela who just won't let the party die! Yup. We're doing Night of the Demons 2: 2 Demon 2 Furious. Does this movie party harder than Andrew W. K. on coke or is it lamer than my 14th birthday where no one showed up? Listen and find out!

Hey peoples! Tonight we're gonna party! When a super hot goth chick invites you to a party, you definitely go right? I mean, sure it's in an abandoned funeral home. And yeah, she sometimes sounds suspiciously like Dr Claw. And maybe there's an evil dragon skeleton ghost. But you heard me when I said hot goth chick right? Thought so. Anyway, today we review Night of the Demons. And as a bonus, superfan friend of the show and embalmer supreme Shannon stops by and tells us a story!

Hoo boy peoples. This one is a doozy. I know some of you may watch this movie because of this episode, and I sincerely apologize. What can I even say here about Llamageddon without the benefit of poop emojis and a dumpster fire gif? But we did have some fun tearing this movie apart, much like my will to live as I watched it so there's that. And we did develop the film theory of The Danzig Effect as a result. Listen in for the glorious details.

We're back peoples! Today we got another fan pick! I know right? We actually still have fans! Will wonders never cease. Anyways, our embalmer friend Shannon has picked the 2006 James Gunn 80s B movie homage Slither. This one's got zombies, rednecks, a rabid undead deer puppet, and more brain slugs than you can shake a Nathan Fillion at. What more could you ask for?

Hey! We're back again! And we have tales for you. No, not From the Crypt. Although that would be cool. Damn, now I wanna watch that. Anyway, today we got Tales of Halloween! This one's got everything. Slashers, aliens, neighbors from hell, and more horror cameos than you can shake a severed limb at. But is it any good? Listen and find out.

Well, it's been a while but we're back. Sorry for the sporadic activity, but personal life things are going on. We may not be posting as regularly as before for a bit but I assure you we aren't going anywhere. Anyhow, Dead Snow 2! Twice the dead and double the snow! If you see one Norwegian nazi zombie movie this year... well you should probably watch the original Dead Snow first... but then strongly consider watching the sequel. Join us as we dive in!

Well, here it is folks. Our 100th movie review. It's been a long strange trip to this point and we got a doozy for you today. Vampire cowboys, Devon Sawa, Eli Roth, Julian Sands, a brothel, and that hot goth chick from Blair Witch 2. Sounds like the ingredients for a great movie right? Well, now add cinematic disaster master Glenn Danzig to the mix. What do you get? You get the oh so pretentiously named Death Rider in the House of Vampires. Yeah. Buckle up for this one...

We're back and in the words of Staind "Its been a while". Today we talk about a movie where some people find some cursed gold and have to fend off the undead horde that is out to reclaim it. No, not the Johnny Depp pirate movie. This one has nazi zombies, not ghost pirates. And it's Norwegian. And it does gore and violence in a way Disney would never have the cajones to do. That's right. We're talking Dead Snow.

Hey peoples! Today we talk about that movie where an evil video game alters reality in horrible ways for the person playing it. No, not Brainsacan. Or Stay Alive. Or that crappy Hellraiser sequel. Or... wow, they've really run this trope into the ground haven't they? No, today's movie is Netflix's Choose or Die. Generic movie title, but the perfect thing to say to your wife when she won't tell you what she wants for dinner.

We're back peoples! Episodes may be sporadic as we head into summer and new work schedules, but rest assured, we will continue to semi regularly put out the content you all have come to know and tolerate indifferently. Anyway, today we talk about Barbarian (SPOILERS). Which, despite what you may believe, in NO WAY involves Conan the Barbarian. I know, I was shocked too. Also, Tony's cat may or may not need an exorcism. To quote today's movie, "Ba ba baba ba!"

Today a-haunting we will go! We're checking out the 2019 movie Haunt. This is why you never go into a haunted house attraction that makes you sign a waiver.

Today is a special occasion folks! We have a special guest in the studio! Andrew's nephew Chaz joins us today meaning that all 2 people who actually still listen to this show have made appearances as guests! And to celebrate we're taking a look at the giant middle finger to Disney that is Winnie The Pooh: Blood And Honey! Does this slasher satisfy the rumbly in our tumbly for gore and carnage? Listen and find out!

Hey peoples! It's time to tuck you in for the night, and Dead Is Better will sing you a lullaby. Well, maybe not so much sing you a lullaby. More like rip on a movie called Lullaby. But that's close enough, right? I thought so.

Hey kids! Have you ever wanted to see horrible things happen to that annoying youtuber that you can't stand? Well have we got a movie for you! Deadstream! What could be more fun than watching a web content creator get tormented by the supernatural, right? (Don't forget to like and subscribe to our podcast and enable notifications)

Well, today we're lost in a corn field being chased by killer scarecrows with the movie Husk. There is no appearance by He Who Walks Behind The Rows in this one. But, I can definitely say with all confidence that if Dorothy had met one of THESE scarecrows, The Wizard of Oz would have been a way cooler movie.

We're back! Today, we look at what happens when you get a bunch of psychics together at a hotel where their "friend" that they all hate killed himself. Oh, and despite the fact that they're psychic, they have no idea they're all going to be killed by puppets. Yup. We're taking a look at Puppet Master, a movie that completely dropped the ball on using one of Metallica's greatest songs as the theme song.

What do you do when your clearly mentally unstable ex-wife disappears for two years, only to come back with a new guy, some hippy dippy new beliefs, and invites you and your new girlfriend to a dinner party at your old home? Well, if you're Will from today's movie, The Invitation, you think there isn't anything even mildly suspicious about it, and it will make for a jolly good time. I, however, think that Will is clearly an idiot. Am I right? Listen and find out! Or I guess you could watch the movie and find out too. Fine. Be that way.

We're back, peoples! I know this episode is a bit late, but you know what they say: better late than pregnant. Anyways, today's special is a large Italian 80s splatter fest with extra cheese. We're talking about the 1985 Lamberto Bava film, Demons! It doesn't get much more 80s than this one!
