Meet Horror creator and filmmaker Richard T. Wilson. We had a great chat about how filmmaking is like rock and roll and learn why he describes candy corn as the "flipping off candy." I'd say that makes him very punk rock \m/ 🤘. 

We spoke about how journaling is cathartic and how it's more than doodling. We get a little deep, but also chat about Blobfest, spiders, and the Wolfman.

The lines between life and art blur when Screen Scares co-hosts Jennie and Sarah look back at the totally terrifying, possibly cursed, and definitely problematic legacy of Tobe Hooper/ Steven Spielberg's horror classic Poltergeist (1982). The movie pushed and defined the limits of the MPA ratings system, and left generations of viewers asking themselves, “How the heck is this movie rated PG?" Listen for answers, insights, and guessing games that will suck you into the conversation faster than a static-filled T.V.  screen at midnight.

You can find a full transcript of the episode HERE!

When a group of astronauts discover an extraterrestrial craft drifting in the tail of Halley's comet, they find 3 humanoid beings in suspended animation and bring them aboard their ship. Upon returning to Earth, the ship is found with the 3 bodies and only one surviving astronaut left. The recovered bodies soon awake and begin to unleash an otherworldly terror upon London and soon, maybe the world. 

NOTE - There is another moment towards the end of the discussion bit where the audio skips, we're trying to fix this problem, sorry everyone.

Save the toe tag - Kill By Kill Bite Size is not dead yet! That’s right, we’re putting Tobe Hooper’s segment  from 1993’s BODY BAGS on the slab and weighing all the contents!! Was Showtime wrong for denying the world a John Carpenter-hosted horror anthology? Just how much of Mark Hamill’s hinder do we get to see in action? And is that tush okaily-dokilly? Exactly what accent is Twiggy using here, and why did no one stop her? How much responsibility for the car crash lies at the feet of the Traveling Wilburys? How far would you dig into your backyard before you expect to hit human feet? Would you dress Twiggy in fashionable sacks? How would Alfred Hitchcock pronounce the word “content?” All this, plus an ocular-forward edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure, and we get a visit from one of our favorite horror movie trends: research via microfiche!! We unzip a fun one for you this week on Kill By Kill!!

It’s the movie that taught the world not to trust a big butt, a Frankenstein mask, and a smile that unhinges at the jaw - it’s the monster mash-up slasher, THE FUNHOUSE!! And here to help us survive the night is screenwriter (Black Christmas 2019) and Returning Champion April Wolfe!! Along the way, we talk about messed up Monster Kids, explore serving sizes of bourbon for parents in town, identify all the important Carnival People You Need To Know, debate proper date etiquette at a Girlie Show, and sound the alarm against stealing cash from a carnie!! All this, plus a freaky Choose Your Own Deathventure, and we praise the work of a true Master of Horror, the one, the only Tobe Hooper!! Push down your lap bar, people - this is one wild ride!!

This week I caught up with Larry Schemel from the Los Angeles-based psychedelic band Death Valley Girls,  for a chat about the 1974 Tobe Hooper classic The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. We also chat about the music of the Death Valley Girls, touring & of course his history with horror & he even decides on which is the most 'horror' of the DVG songs. One of the best this one!

Lifeforce. Tune in as Scott and Rick chat about this sci-fi horror flick. Is Lifeforce worthy of world domination, or does it suck the very existence right out of us?

How has it taken us this long to cover one of the most influential films in horror history? On our latest episode of Spooky Tuesday, we're throwing it back to one of the very first final girls with The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974). The film that both introduced Leatherface to the world and invented the power tool as an instrument of psychological damage, this scary '70s story made a lasting impact on both the culture and hitchhiking crime statistics. But there's more to talk about than just that. Despite the torture porn connotations of the franchise at large, the original flick is pretty subtle — and it's absolutely stunning, too.

1982 brings us a rather odd pairing of a family facing supernatural terror, and a young man and his basket. The Hollywood budget and prestige of a polished Steven Spielberg production, and the raw sleaze and special effects of a $35,000 movie shot on the grimy streets of early 80s New York City.

If one of your family members starts talking to static on a television, you might want to consider packing up and moving immediately. But is static on television even a thing anymore? There's content 24/7! The TV people talking through the static are probably safer than the people talking to you on the actual shows! Wait, what were we talking about? Spirits and supernatural spookiness! And real skeletons in swimming pools! Leave the bodies where they are, kick back and relax, and watch some Poltergeist (1982)!

What's in the basket? Well, let's just says that it probably isn't clothes, like Duane says it is. Because I don't know if I've ever heard of clothes eating a bunch of hamburgers and hot dogs when you dump those into the basket with them.  It sure is weird and pissed off, whatever it is. Don't worry, you'll find out. Time for some fun family revenge on the seedy streets of New York, in Basket Case (1982)!

And then from there, it's the Common Craig's Top 5 list of horror movies from 1982! You'd better believe it!

This week we head over to America. I met up with Creighton Barrett for a chat about his music plus of course his history with horror & we had a big old nostalgia love in covering all things Tobe Hoopers POLTERGEIST!

"They're in a perpetual dream state, a nightmare from which they cannot wake. Inside this spectral light is salvation - a window to the next plane."

Adam fields a call from truck dispatcher Frank Ludd (the incomparable Patton Oswalt) who shares stories of a lady-faced chainsaw wielder, a trucking death near an ancient burial ground in Maine, and the true price of hotdogs in this The Texas Chainsaw Massacre themed episode. Then Adam talks to Patton about horror, his love of film, and behind the scenes stories of filming The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

This week, Jeff and Dylan are bringing on Travis from the Polymedia Network and they're talking about slasher films, though maybe not the most shining examples of the genre.

We're talking about those slasher flicks that might not be the most wellmade or the most highly regarded or... good,  but they're definitely a lot of fun to watch.

Travis is bringing Night of the Scarecrow and Dylan is bringing Tobe Hooper's The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Part 2.

STAY TUNED TILL THE VERY END OF THE EPISODE
YOU WON'T WANT TO MISS THE EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDING THE FUTURE OF SPLIT UP! 

Will the boys cook and serve Travis in a delightful chili and win first prize at the Texas/Oklahoma Chili Cookoff? 

Will Travis frame the boys for the murder of local character actor, Larry Drake? 

Find out in this episode of SPLIT UP!
