Horror Movie Night

In 2010 Matt Kelly had a podcast called "The Saint Mort Show" (which apparently no longer is online). One of his first episodes involved him driving to Baltimore to interview the incredible Mink Stole. Since she appears in Cry-Baby it seemed like a great time to dig through his archives and pull out this fantastic episode. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

You voted and we responded. Wrapping up the year that was 2019 we watch a movie released in 1990 that was reflecting on the 60's... CRY-BABY. John Waters released one of his most mainstream films packed with rock-a-billy songs, awkward kissing and Johnny Depp at his Johnny Dreamiest. Join us on the film episode of HORROR MOVIE NIGHT (where we don't talk about a Horror Movie). Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

So, not technically a soundtrack but there's like ... zero Christmas movie soundtracks that have enough pop punk, ska and nu-Metal on it to make us interested so we're doing the Nightmare Before Christmas cover album Nightmare Revisited.

Growing Up Kelly is back! This time we're joined by Brian and Matt's sister Julie (who hosts the My Favorite Episode Of... podcast) to discuss more about their Christmas time together. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

As is HMN Christmas tradition, we are taking a slight break from the usual picks and getting festive with some ghosts, desiccated corpse bosses, and a whole lotta yelling; we're talking SCROOGED (1988)! Matt strong-armed us into this one, since apparently it would be frowned upon to just do Batman Returns every Christmas like a true American. It could be worse, your lip could be gushing blood (thanks to Carol Kane ripping your frenulum)! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Listen, if you dig up the corpse of the guy who terrorized and traumatized you as a kid, stick an iron rod in his chest that then gets struck by lightning, reanimating said corpse, you might not want to try your hand at gambling. You may have noticed today's date, which informed Matt's pick this week, the immortal JASON LIVES (1986), one of the most enjoyable entries in the Friday the 13th franchise. If you were unimpressed with the fire circle in Octaman, Tommy Jarvis has a much more impressive one and it's on a freakin lake... Jump in, the water is crystal clear!

Norman Bates, the killer whose origin was never really necessary to be told in-depth, but here we are, having watched and discussed a whole movie about it, PSYCHO IV: THE BEGINNING (1990). Brian's picks are often inscrutable, and this one is the very definition of the word; his catchphrase really sells this one: "Well, it's a movie." Learn more about your ad choices.

If you were wondering whether we're tired of meta horror yet, here's your answer: nope! Matt chose a real banger this week, the alien-frog-with-laser-eyes romp THERE'S NOTHING OUT THERE (1992). There are punks, bros, hot ladies, skinny-dipping, a ridiculous monster with even more ridiculous weaknesses, and even a boom mic getaway. This one is a cult classic for a reason, and it's save to say it checks all of the HMN boxes! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This Thanksgiving, it's not just animal carcasses that will be served up... We are re-discussing the delightful holiday slasher BLOOD RAGE (1987), once a lost episode, but now a new conversation on quite possibly the only Thanksgiving horror movie out there (we don't acknowledge Thankskilling round these parts). Let our gravyboat voices moisten your mashed potato ears as your prepare a feast for your loved ones, but be careful, that's not cranberry sauce! Learn more about your ad choices.

Matt had an opportunity to talk to Jen and Sylvia Soska about Bruce Campbell cameos in Sam Raimi Spider-Man movies, adult super-hero parodies, Epstein Didn't Kill Himself, CM Punks return to WWE and briefly discuss their new film Rabid out now via Shout Studios.

We see a lot of amazing creature designs and practical effects on HMN, so sometimes it's nice to take a step back and see our SFX heroes' humble beginnings...like the ridiculously dumb Rick Baker monstrosity, OCTAMAN (1971)! More or less a lower-budget, less skilled retelling of the Creature From the Black Lagoon (written by the same guy), this one is 100% due to its moment of glory in Gremlins 2: The New Batch, so thanks for that, Brian. Between the three of us, we only have 6 arms to fight Octaman's 8, wish us luck! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

It's not every day we get to introduce a new podcast on the Geekscape Network, but this isn't everyday! And to sweeten the deal, we're discussing another meta horror flick from the rapidly-dwindling list of meta horror films that we haven't hit yet: the charmingly goofy RETURN TO HORROR HIGH (1987). Our guest is Bacon from 19 Donkey Lane, a fantasy/comedy show that you really need to do yourself a favor and check out. Also, bonus George Clooney sighting in the movie, schwing!

It's finally happened: Scott had a pick fall on Halloween, and his dream of discussing awkward brunettes and their creepy dolls came truuuuuuue! We snuggle up to the one and only MAY (2002), which most forget is seasonally-appropriate - and we're here to remind you forever. Brian somehow didn't watch it, even with a week extension, so Matt and Scott do their best to explain the plot to him, which sort of works a little bit. Fill your cooler with some cold ones and get spooky with us for the best day of the year, we promise we won't criticize your kissing skills. Learn more about your ad choices.

It's Halloween week and time for our last horror anthology, so of course we pulled out the big guns with 2007's TRICK R TREAT! We are joined by Jason of Creepy Co, and spend the entire episode just gushing about what a great piece of entertainment this one is. We also get into a nice tangent about Super Troopers, so don't worry, still on-brand for us. Make sure your jack-o-lantern is lit all night long, just in case! Learn more about your ad choices.

Matt has another podcast that he's producing starring his sister Julie.

It's week three of October, and time for a heavy sociopolitical discussion that Matt has been dreaming of having since before HMN's inception: 1995's depressingly-still-relevant TALES FROM THE HOOD! This is one of the more difficult films for a show like ours to discuss, so hopefully we navigate the treacherous waters well enough to not sound like total idiots. This is one of the best horror anthologies out there, and still required viewing in 2019 - Clarence Williams III commands you! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
