The sassy salesman are BACK with another behemoth episode breaking down all EIGHT releases on the 2023 Severin Summer Sale slate. Join David, Amy and Andrew as they break down each title and give you exclusive insight on how these came to be.

Join us as we talk through everything disc-by-disc and have great conversations with filmmaker Frank Henenlotter (Basket Case / Frankenhooker) about coming out of a long hiatus and making a statement with BAD BIOLOGY, then later surprise Amanda Reyes and Amy by having Bill Lustig (Maniac / Vigilante) share some memories about the great Joe Spinell. No, Bill hasn't sued us... YET.

Get ready for the big sale and spend some time with the Severin crew, then enjoy yourself a special playlist curated by the one and only DJ Alfonso!

Frank Henenlotter’s films are hard to nail down.  They’re not conventional horror films so much as they are bizarre dramas featuring extreme (and often fantastical) physical deformity, addiction, sex, violence and bloodshed.  All filtered through a darkly comic lens.  In much the same way David Cronenberg’s films are not for everyone, the same could be said for Frank Henenlotter’s films.  But if you haven't seen his films, you're missing out.  Join me for a look at some of the most boldly original films of the horror and exploitation genre, and the man who made them.  Welcome to the sexy, violent, bloody and laugh-out-loud funny films of Frank Henenlotter.    

What time is it? It's basket time! We're back this week in the House of Horror as the boys crack open and take a peek into the cult classic film Basket Case.

Duane Bradley is taking his first trip to New York City. He's there to see the sights, the sounds and to exact revenge on the doctors who separated him from his conjoined twin brother Belial.  Belial is a grotesquely deformed creature that Duane carries around in a basket at all times. Now, working out of a small hotel room, the two plot their journey of vengeance that will take them across the city.

What?!?! Another certified episode with super cool guests for a show that's only for the degenerate nerds? Can you believe it!? Real Hollywood screenwriters & siblings Madeline & Dylan Meyer join us to talk about the infamous 42nd St classic, Basket Case. That's right! It's another Feature Presentation episode of LNP! On this episode we tackle parenting, siblings, 42nd st, "head brothers & crumb men", and real Hollywood behind the scenes insider info. What's in the basket?

When these unseperable brothers become literally separated, they strike out for revenge and we get one of the more enjoyable cult classic horror films that we've covered on this show! Frank Hennenlotter's Basket Case sprawls from ridiculous to violent, and always with a tinge of the absurd, leaving no doubt that the Fried Squirms would be down with it, but just how much of Belial's romance wrecking can they put up with?
