March 31, 2024 00:00 - 1 hour - 97.6 MB

Happy Easter!  And welcome Horror 101 fans to our 144th show.   A year after Romero's epic Dawn of the Dead took the Horror world by storm Italy answered with their own take on the undead subgenre, made for the International market.  This would be Lucio Fulci's first entry in an array of graphic Euro-Splatter features made for English audiences which would crown him the Godfather of Italian Splatter.  With unforgettable sequences and gore which is as graphic as it is ridiculous we a...

January 31, 2024 00:00 - 59 minutes - 82.5 MB

Welcome to our first show of 2024!  We're hoping that you're in the mood for some European 80s sleaze cause that is whats on the docket for this podcast.  Gratuitous nudity.  Horrible dubbing.  Extreme violence and bad acting all wrapped up in a package of camp from a Spanish director.  They cannot make films like this anymore.  We had a lot of fun picking this feature apart and we hope you enjoy as well as we give the Horror 101 treatment to Juan Piquer Simón's Pieces.  Its EXACTLY...

October 31, 2023 00:00 - 1 hour - 97.7 MB

We saw this Friday the 13th in October coming a mile a way and ever since January my crew knew exactly what we were going to cover for this month.   Every horror fan has their favourite Friday the 13th film and God knows there's a lot to choose from.  With masterful photography, great direction, an interesting, well written cast.  The best stuntman playing Jason this side of Kane Hodder and graphic Tom Savini gore we're going to argue that Part 4 should be at the top of everyone's l...

Episode 137: Horror 101 - Episode 137: Event Horizon

August 31, 2023 00:00 - 1 hour - 86.5 MB

Welcome to our 137th show!  In the late 90s a young Paul W.S. Anderson directed a fantastic cast in a Horror/Sci Fi that's main goal was to give you a haunted house in space film.  Test Audiences hated it.  Half an hour was cut from it.  The negative has been neglected and destroyed and although it was a commercial failure this film has since gathered a huge following in the horror community.  Its been a long time since our crew had extremely varied opinions on a title.  We hope you...

Episode 135: Horror 101 - Episode 135: The Burning (1981)

June 30, 2023 00:00 - 59 minutes - 81.4 MB

We hope you're feeling Nasty today cause thats exactly what we're covering.  A slasher gore piece from 1981 that was on the UK's Video Nasty list.  Of all the films is the 80s that tried to copy the Friday the 13th formula with a brutal killer in the woods this movie is one of the noteworthy ones.  It has an impressive synth score from Richard Wakeman of Yes.  Tom Savini does the horror effects and this was Bob and Harvey Weinstein's first film for their label Miramax.  The now disg...

Episode 134: Horror 101 - Episode 134: Evil Dead Rise

May 31, 2023 00:00 - 1 hour - 83.6 MB

Two days before we convened to run the microphone for this episode Evil Dead Rise was released for stream.  Hot off the press.  We had to strike while the iron was hot.  None of us were fans of the 2013 remake and expectations were low for this entry.  All of us had avoided spoilers and were going in to this cold.  We hope you enjoy our Horror 101 treatment of Lee Cronin's addition to the Evil Dead Universe. Show Highlights: 01:00  Prelude to Terror 04:45  Remembering our first Ev...

March 31, 2023 00:00 - 57 minutes - 79 MB

Welcome to our 132nd Episode!  This was recorded on St. Patty's Day.  No, we're not covering Leprechaun.  We did entertain the idea of covering an Irish themed horror but ultimately went with a film from 2016.  Its quick, its tight.  Its a decent shocker.  Its a solid supernatural story that seems familiar but repacked well.  Its claustrophobic and has an excellent cast and for these reasons we're giving the Horror 101 treatment to André Øvredal's The Autopsy of Jane Doe. Show High...

November 30, 2022 00:00 - 57 minutes - 78.8 MB

After another disappointing Halloween we decided to go back to the 80s and cover something we KNEW we would have fun dissecting.  It features one of our favourite genre actors, Tom Atkins and has a script that is much smarter than it deserves to be.  A wonderful blend of 50s schlock and 80s gore.  A true love letter to the horror genre.  For our 128th podcast we're giving the Horror 101 treatment to Fred Dekker's Night of the Creeps. Show Highlights: 01:00  Prelude to Terror 05:00...

For our 125th episode we are revisiting The Subspecies Franchise.  With work going ahead on the upcoming Subspecies V we thought it best to focus another show on this 90s Full moon Vampire Chronicle.  Shot back to back with Part 2, Bloodlust is a well crafted counterpart to its predecessor.  With authentic sets and an entertaining balance of humour and malice Bloodlust is certain to sate all vampire fans.  Join us as we give the Horror 101 treatment to Ted Nicolaou's Full Moon gem. ...

June 30, 2022 00:00 - 59 minutes - 81.3 MB

On this show we cover a Lou Diamond Phillips action/horror from 1990.  This film borrows heavily from late 80s resurrected killer movies like Shocker and The Horror Show.  Jeff Kober has a menacingly good time playing Satanic killer Patrick Channing.  The stunts in this movie are way better than a film of this calibre deserves.  This is presented as one of Cash's guilty pleasures.  join us as we give the Horror 101 treatment to Robert Resnikoff's The First Power.   Show Highlights:...

Welcome to our 121st show!  .  The Cult Sensation has pulled his request card!  We recently lost another excellent actor and this loss was enough for Nick to want to pay tribute to the first film this gentleman starred in.   A fairly obscure little gem that fits perfectly in our catalog.   If science runs amok stories are your bag?  I think you're in for a good time.

Last show we featured April Fool's Day from 1986, starring Deborah Foreman. She's going to be featured again in this 1988 film which also stars Zach Galligan from Gremlins and the legendary David Warner. There have been countless House of Wax type horror films since the dawn of cinema. In 1988 writer/director Anthony Hickox gave us his very first feature film which was his take on this subgenre. It was a hidden gem for me when I first found it on the VHS shelf 30 years ago. It i...

January 30, 2021 16:53 - 52 minutes - 72.5 MB

We're going to start the year by focusing on a Scott Spiegel film from 1989. This is a cheese filled slasher that came WAY late in the game.
