The Horrors of Christmas

Merry Christmas all, and to all a bloody night! Our Christmas episode covers Sorority Slashers, Crazy Santas, and Finnish Krampus Folklore. Black Christmas from 1974 starts us off, then Silent Night, Deadly Night (1980), and Rare Exports from 2010. And even more Krampus coming soon!

PLUS Krampus! For this bonus Christmas Episode we braved the theater for Michael Dougherty's Krampus, and we have a review. Happy Holidays!

The Walking Dead Experience & Season 6 Recap

We went on the interactive The Walking Dead Experience: Chapter 1 adventure and lived to talk about it. The FANGORIA team headed to the Meadowlands to check it out. Big thanks to Madeleine (@DVDBoxSet) and Ken (@movieguyiguess)! When TWDE comes to your city, we’d highly recommend you go. Next we follow up with a recap of the first half of season Six of TWD (warning, spoilers inside). Mindy & Darren get into what worked and what didn’t between Rick and the people of Alexandria.

Check out Ken’s review of The Walking Dead Experience on FANGORIA’S site.

Lunch Hour Reviews Monster Squad (Finally) & Blacula!

Monster Squad! The cornerstone of so many childhood horror fans, and Mindy finally watched it. We talk about the 1987 classic, and compare notes on the 1972 Blaxploitation cult hit, Blacula! Darren also confuses Oliver Reed with Peter O’Toole when talking about Curse of the Werewolf, and signs off by misquoting “Wolfman’s got nards.” SHAME!

White Noise & EVP

In 1996 Mindy's former residence in Queens was the setting of a brutal murder. Really, the case was never solved and even recently posters offering a reward for information were posted in the neighborhood. She recently moved, but wanting to use the last minute opportunity we wanted to try and engage. We did our research and took our audio gear to the basement of her building.

EVP, or Electronic Voice Phenomena is the means of recording voices, or signals beyond what our senses can interpret. The movies White Noise & White Noise 2: The Light explore the medium as a premise. In-between our recordings we review the two films and compare them with our own experience.

Lunch Hour Reviews: American Horror Story: Hotel, The Final Girls, and Scott Snyder

This week we check in with each other with recommendations spanning horror comic books, TV, and a movie. Darren had a lot of fun with Todd Strauss-Schulson's funny slasher homage, The Final Girls, while Mindy loves this season of American Horror Story: Hotel so far, and Darren wraps up with some of Scott Snider's horror comics, Severed and The Wake. We finish up with talk of newer turns in the The Walking Dead graphic novels.
