Killer Queue

Do you like your historical horror in the deep dark woods? What about with samurai or a ouiji board? This week, Heresy and a trio of old school Japanese folk horrors hit Shudder, along wth Teeth and Lucio Fulci's take on Dance Dance Revolution. Netflix picks up Starship Troopers, Jennifer's Body and Ouija: Origin of Evil. Hulu grabs Panic Room - I remember Dwight Yoakum being pretty creepy - and Tubi has its usual first-of-the-month smorgasbord, including American Carnage, Lake Placid, Green Room and Misery. 

When did horror cinema begin - 1895, or 1818? Would a campy shark mask make gothic literature better, or much better? This week, the chilling documentary "1000 Women in Horror" drops on Shudder, the Saw compendium hits Netflix and Tubi picks up everything from Irish changeling flick "Hole in the Ground" to "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Shark." Also, "Undertone" was technically very scary ... until the narrative got too confusing to be creepy.

This week, Shudder runs the gamut of new and trippy found footage with Bodycam and Hostile Dimensions. Possession gets a gnarly body horror twist in Brandon Cronenberg's Possessor on Tubi and a quirky k-pop vibe in The Phantom Lawyer on Netflix. Plus - the end of The Last Drive In on Shudder(?) and a bunch of later Resident Evil flicks on Tubi.

Sometimes, aliens land with fully armed mech warriors. Other times, they hover in ominous bricks. We've got a little of both this week with War Machine hitting Netflix and Monolith dropping on Shudder, plus sharks and anacondas aplenty on Tubi. Also, is today's season finale of The Last Drive In the end of the show? Hopefully not - the drive in will never die! - but mutants everywhere are apprehensive. Also, Tornado on Hulu felt more like a hard freeze, Jack Black has a gateway horror party on Netflix and Shudder picks up more old school flicks with killer titles.

Does Misery have an elderly Argentinian cousin? If a samurai wants revenge in the highlands, does she need a killer score? Is cannibalism funny? Find out this week as Crazy Old Lady hits Shudder, Tornado and Welcome to Raccoon City drop on Hulu and Tubi picks up Feed Me, Monsters and The Last Rite. Also, the director and star of Backcountry, a "beary" scary movie, reunite for zombie horror in This Is Not a Test.

How do you like your folk horror? Campy and with a kung-fu twist, or with a classy checkered suit in the Scottish highlands? This week, we've got a collection of vintage Hong Kong horrors hitting Shudder, including Hex and the Oily Maniac, and The Last Sacrifice, a "true crime interrogation" of The Wicker Man's real life origin story. Also - Goon of the Lagoon and The Beast of Trinity, Texas on Tubi and the first mainstream film to use AI to downshift to a PG-13 rating hits Netflix.

Do bad AI dubs make B-movies better, or much better? Does the Predator have a legal reason for shedding green blood? Why is Vincent Price's cookbook so terrifying? This week, we've got Thai action horror Death Whisper 3 on Netflix, Predator: Badlands and it's Mongolian heavy metal soundtrack hitting Hulu, gothic and mental asylum-y Honey Bunch on Shudder and true gems like Ballerina Assassin hitting Tubi. Also, quick reviews of Bambi: the Reckoning and Send Help.

Would Darryl from The Office survive a quirky horror movie? Can a witch covered in campy make-up have fourth-wall-breaking PTSD? Would Wall-E be friends with a vampire?

Also - The Witch: Revenge on Tubi, A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night and a sidebar about everybody's favorite Disney robot.

If you can't trust a folk healer deep in the dark woods, who can you trust? What about an unhoused replicant with a boomstick? This week, Mother of Flies bewitches Shudder and Hobo with a Shotgun soaks Tubi in preposterous revenge, plus The Perfect Host on Tubi and a frosty collection of snowy horrors for the winter storm weekend. Stay safe and warm, y'all.

Would you giggle like a middle schooler if you saw "bone lake" on a map? Do you think sharks are good metaphors for the horrors of war? If so, get ready to dive in - we've got Beast of War on Shudder and Bone Lake on Netflix dropping today, plus a thing-y conversation about Kurt Russell and Peter Cushing. We also discuss the best horror flicks from Minnesota and Iran.

It's a new year - and old aquaintances will not be forgot. This week, a documentary on the Texas Chainsaw Massacre's decades of "Chain Reactions" and influences hits Shudder and the immigrant K-horror blend "Death Name" is this year's first Tubi Original horror flick. Also - Green Room hits Netflix, Hulu picks the wrong version of Shutter, Joe Bob's back in town with "Don't Night" and I want to give the canine star of "Good Boy" all the treats.

Is there a better adjective for Creep and Creep 2 than, well, creepy?

Tubi is in full form with Possession, an Showtime TV movie with Timothy Dalton and Christopher Plummer, Nuclear Hurricane and Reptisaurus, two high-budget gems that need no introduction, and the "difficult" Don't Breathe hits Hulu. Also, we proudly salute Predator: Badlands and struggle through spoiler-free praise for The Black Phone 2. Begonia ... ehh, not so much. A horror junkie friend and familiar voice visits the podcast this week. My home recording audio setup isn't great but the conversation more than makes up for it.

There's vintage horror, and there's vintage horror. Mary Shelley and Abraham Van Helsing are the latter. This week, we get historical with Frankenstein on Netflix and Abraham's Boys on Shudder, plus everybody's favorite 80s cult goblin musical hits Netflix and Hulu. Also, Tubi experiments with low-budget experimental physics in The Quantum Devil and gets lost in the scary Canadian wilderness with The Wildman Massacre. Joe Bob is back in town on Shudder and I give a waterlogged thumbs up to Underwater and Lizzie.

Mother Nature is scary. So are the terrifying interdimensional beings of GWAR. Get ready for wild mashups this week with the stone cold nature documentary Nightmares of Nature on Netflix, GWAR's visit to Joe Bob's Splatterween on Shudder and an ominous speech from Indiana's favorite goofball parks worker in The Devil Comes to Kansas City on Tubi.

Is Bill Nighy the next Peter Cushing? Would Betty White feed you to a lake monster?

This week, pop some popcorn for Aliens Expanded and Limehouse Golem on Shudder, the I Know What You Did Last Summer requel on Netflix, Cabin in the Woods and the Halloween Baking Championship on Hulu - don't laugh, you know you'd eat a ghost-shaped snicker doodle.

We've got giant spiders, fire spiders, critters aplenty, leprechauns everywhere, Elvira and cannibal women in an avocado jungle of death, teeth where they don't belong, a vampire clown, and two hobbits and a wizard kid doing something completely different.

Also - Autopsy of Jane Doe, Cobweb, Marianne, Haunted Hotel, Sugar Mill and Impetigore.

Faith and horror share common ground. Folk horror has long held religion as an incantation against things that go bump in the night, but sexist cults and bad religion haunt plenty of scary movies. This week, we've got all of the above with Hagazussa, Candy Land, Medusa, Heretic, Gwen and The Ones You Didn't Burn. We've got the not-so-spicy Canadian werewolf show Bitten on Shudder and the dark vampire romance Drained on Tubi, both lurking beneath Twilight's long and silly shadow.  Plus Perewangan, a campy Indonesian flick that'd fit right into the Conjuring universe, and the meta zom-com All You Need is Blood. Did you know Topher Grace was in Heretic?

You've seen shark flicks, serial killer movies and scary bottle episodes. Why not combine them? This week, we've got "Dangerous Animals" and The Last Drive In on Shudder, the somber vampires in "Bleeding" have wandered from Screambox over to Tubi, and Nick Cage shares the screen with cosmic horror, Tommy Chong and real life alpacas in "Color Out of Space" on Hulu. Plus - the beach in "The Shallows" is the funniest lie ever told, Mr. Rogers quotes work great with werewolves, and Tony Todd is just the right kind of crazy for a mythological monster flick that's so 2006, it hurts.

The last deep cuts of the summer are here - we've got Hell of a Summer on Hulu, The Twin on Shudder and the latest installment of Wednesday on Netflix. As spooky season nears, we've got new Asian horror and a ton of resurrected titles hitting streaming, including Jennifer's Body, 28 Weeks Later, Crawl, Donnie Darko, Popeye the Slayer Man and a Bruce Campbell flick about bean curd. Plus, after 26 years (!), The Sixth Sense holds up - especially for unsuspecting zoomers.

There are gator flicks and there are gator flicks. The Bayou on Tubi is probably the former, but at least you've got a ton of choices. Also, somber vampire horror hits Hulu, a bunch of old classics drop on Tubi and the recently departed Terence Stamp gets a salute for Last Night in Soho and his many years of inspired villiany.

Should you be scared of clowns? Can Timothy Oliphant stop a chestburster? Is Julian Richings in everything? This week, get ready for Clown in a Cornfield on Shudder, Alien Earth on Hulu, noire almost-horror on Netflix and a very Tubi movie about mysterious sins. Plus, a quick review of Vicious Fun. Fun fact: I'm recording this episode in a pillow fort.
