The Evil Dead (1981)

We're kicking off Evil Dead month with the classic that started it all. In this episode, we discuss the greatness of Bruce Campbell and Sam Raimi, while looking back on the film's arduous shoot. 

Ghostface has finally made it to the big city, but is he really any different? Michael and Eliza discuss that, whether or not New York City was used properly as the setting, if Sidney's absence was impactful, the killer reveal, and of course, the rules. 

We kick off our journey to Scream VI with the film that revived the slasher genre. We talk horror's status in the mainstream in the 90s, behind the scenes drama, video stores and more. Is this Eliza's favorite movie that has been covered on the podcast?

Before Michael and Eliza tackle the Scream franchise, they check out Kevin Williamson's latest feature, which is set during the height of the coronavirus pandemic, but does the film handle it well?

This week, we talk the first movie Harvey Weinstein ever produced, and boy does it show. We compare it to Friday the 13th and its cast, as it bears many similarities. 

Yes, that's right -- we're heading to Camp Crystal Lake for Eliza's first foray into the iconic slasher franchise. HAPPY FRIDAY THE 13TH!

We kick off slasher month with Eliza's first nightmare! Can Freddy still frighten? Let's find out!

Michael and Eliza conclude the holiday season with Bob Clark's best Christmas movie! The obscene phone calls weigh on Michael's patience, while Eliza finds them to be consistently upsetting throughout. 

Michael and Eliza clash over this soon-to-be-cult classic, as Michael believes it to be ahead of its time, and he thinks it's even better than the movie it is often compared to: Home Alone. Eliza finds that notion to be preposterous. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CHRISTMAS!

This week, Eliza meets the serial killing doll, Chucky! Michael breaks down the arduous production of the movie and the inception of Chucky.
