Transcribe →Children of the Corn
3d ago01:01:04Tap to summarizeToday Griffey and Dandino pray to He Who Walks Behind the Rows in Children of the Corn. They dig into the dirt of what this new/old God is doing with these children, they way that the fevor of these children for their new religion can rapidly turn them against each other, and what our adult couple protaganist help illuminate as they enter this corn fueled nightmare. Of all the MESSED UP Stephen King adapations this is a personal favorite of ours. Synopsis: A young couple is trapped in a remote town where a dangerous religious cult of children believes that everyone over age 18 must be killed.

Transcribe →Evil Dead Burn
5d ago01:18:34Tap to summarizeHere comes a fiery debate for New Movie Monday - does Evil Dead Burn play by the Evil Dead rules? This one starts hot as Griffey and Heath get heated over their love and disdain for the latest entry in the Evil Dead franchise. In this episode, we discuss what makes this version so devisive amongst fans of the series, what it might have gotten wrong about the Deadites, how it compares to prior entries, and what makes Evil Dead an enduring horror property. Want to join the conversation? Fire away in the comments and let us know what you think about Evil Dead Burns! Logline: After the loss of her husband, a woman seeks solace with her in-laws. As one by one they transform into deadites, she comes to discover that the vows she took in life - survive even in death Director: Sébastien Vanicek Starring: Souheila Yacoub, Luciane Buchanan, Hunter Doohan Support the show on the Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/messedupmoviespod
Transcribe →Messed Up Movie Draft: Direct Sequels
1w ago02:02:14Tap to summarizeThere's ALWAYS more to the story, especially in horror. This is the genre that popularized sequels like no other - so which are the best? There's really one answer here and that's James Cameron's Aliens. But since that title has been drafted too many times it's off the board and we had to get creative! Luckily, there are still plenty of #2's that equal and even best the original. Combatants Griffey, Dandino, Heath and Sophia are back for battle. Who drafted the ultimate list of direct sequels? Does it include Scream 2 - the meta commentary on horror sequels? How about another Cameron classic Terminator 2? There's no-brainers like Evil Dead 2, Hellraiser 2 and Final Destination 2. Or perhaps you're into something more adventurous like the body-horror terror that is The Santa Clause 2. Whichever sequels you like best, we've got so many you should listen to this episode twice!

Transcribe →The Blood on Satan's Claw
1w ago00:41:48Tap to summarizeToday Griffey and Alex unearth an explosive bout of witchcraft in The Blood on Satan's Claw. They discuss how the film uses the fear and embrace of witchcraft to rip through every aspect of this villages life, if any of the rituals are actually occult magic or just the sick result of paranoia, and Linda Hayden's power house performance as the menacing Angel Blake. This film is a perfect blend of the real world and spiritual on an isolated battlefield. We as audiences are left asking where would we stand if this Messed Up secret were unearthed in our village. Synopsis: After a landsman in 18th century England discovers a corpse covered in fur buried in a field, the town becomes infected by "the devil's skin," leading the local children to engage in demonic rituals and criminal behavior. Starring: Patrick Wymark, Linda Hayden, Barry Andrews, Michele Dotrice, Wendy Padbury Directed by Piers Haggard Youtube: https://youtu.be/zcbwbpOOBvg Help us make our first feature length Messed Up Movie: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/mr-creamjean-s-hidey-hole-horror-comedy-movie#/ Support the show on the Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/messedupmoviespod
Transcribe →Forbidden Fruits
2w ago00:48:10Tap to summarizeGet in losers, let's go to the movies. We're saddling up and strutting our way through the Messed Up mall of Forbidden Fruits - the latest Shudder original that's part Mean Girls, part The Craft and part Mallrats? That last one is debatable, especially for high school Griffey. In this episode, Sam reveals his new approach to reviewing movies by going totally method and stepping into the mind of a teenage mall girl from Texas. Meanwhile, Griffey and Heath grapple with whether they are aging out of stories intended for Gen Z. By the way, were there supposed to be witches in this movie? Logline: At a mall store, Apple leads a secret witch cult with coworkers Cherry and Fig. New hire Pumpkin questions their sisterhood, forcing them to confront inner darkness or meet violent ends. Director: Meredith Alloway Starring: Lili Reinhart, Lola Tung, Victoria Pedretti, Alexandra Shipp, Gabrielle Union

Transcribe →Witchfinder General
2w ago00:49:04Tap to summarizeToday Griffey and Dandino begin to unearth Folk Horror gems this month. We start with what is undoubtedly one of the meanest jaunts into the genre ever in Witchfinder General. They discuss how unlike other Folk Horror this film simply shows men using superstitions to their own benefit, the genius of casting Vincent Price as the Witchfinder, and the nightmarish punishments these poor victims suffer. This is the a pillar of the MESSED UP unholy trinity of British Folk Horror you must see to believe. Synopsis: During the English Civil War, a young Roundhead seeks vengeance against a vicious witch-hunter and his henchman, who have terrorized the soldier's fiancée and wrongfully executed her uncle. Starring: Vincent Price, Ian Ogilvy, Rupert Davies, Hilary Heath Directed by Michael Reeves Youtube: https://youtu.be/VtDByBWcg8U Help us make our first feature length Messed Up Movie: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/mr-creamjean-s-hidey-hole-horror-comedy-movie#/ Support the show on the Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/messedupmoviespod
