Horror Movie Night
Hosted by Geekscape · EN
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.

The Void (2016)
1w ago00:50:43Tap to summarizeAre 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 rewatch and a fresh perspective on Astron-6 movies. Is it an entirely new concept? Of course not, but it packs a body horror punch and has incredible low-budget practical effects so we all walked away happy. The same can’t be said for the characters in the film, though… Join our Patreon Buy Some Merch Join our Facebook Group Follow us on Instagram Check our Letterboxd Learn more about your ad choices.

Orca (1977)
2w ago00:33:03Tap to summarizeThat’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 think it should so here we are. Where else are you going to see a smart aquatic mammal blow up an entire freaking power plant? It’s as awesome as it sounds, trust us.

Lake Placid (1999)
3w ago00:51:39Tap to summarizeAt 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 make it all work - actual funny jokes. Oh well, we’re still here for some crocodile carnage, and we get a ton of it. Plus Betty White is in it!

Last Shift (2014)
4w ago00:36:24Tap to summarizeIt 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 trouble those cursed items could cause. You can’t help but feel bad for a rookie cop spending her first day (well, night, but you get the idea) on the job and being tormented by the ghosts of a murder cult. Police hazing is hell!

Jaws the Revenge (1987)
Jul 300:46:17Tap to summarizeChristmas 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 movie we’ve seen, and at least it’s got Michael Cain in it. If you like a little fish psychic in your killer fish plot, well boy howdy have we got the film for you!

Stepfather II (1989)
Jun 2600:42:30Tap to summarizeDaddy 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 forget we have Meg Foster and Caroline Williams doing some heavy lifting as well! Jonathan Brandis also chews some scenery as a cool skateboarding preteen who is totally relatable or something. Wanna get hitched? Hope you don’t mind it’s TIL DEATH!

Dog Soldiers (2002)
Jun 1800:37:10Tap to summarizeOne 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 wolves look great, the pacing is awesome, there are buckets of gore (and so, SO many bullets), and there’s a ton of dry British humor - what more could you ask for? Besides not being werewolf food, of course. Join our Patreon Buy Some Merch Join our Facebook Group Follow us on Instagram Check our Letterboxd Learn more about your ad choices.

Killer Crocodile (1989)
Jun 1200:33:24Tap to summarizeMore 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 front and center (which is, thankfully, pretty often). The plot beats aren’t anything you haven’t seen before, but man, that croc looks awesome when it’s chowing down on people who didn’t take Matt’s advise to STAY OUT OF THE DAMN WATER.

Demonwarp (1988)
Jun 400:40:44Tap to summarizeSummertime 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 goes on here. There are also zombies and aliens, and yes it’s all supposed to connect. Is it a good movie? Absolutely not, but it does star George Kennedy. Take that as you will.
