Ep -346: The Monster Club.

In this episode one of the FM3's Patreon Top Dawgs picked a movie that the guys were very skeptical about and never imagined watching it. Having heard the name and seen the VHS artwork Jef, Josh and Brian could only imagine that this flick was nothing more than a  janky music video for Boris Pickett & The Crypt Kicker 5's punishing jam "The Monster Mash".  Thank goodness it wasn't and because It is actually a pretty fun horror anthology with some cool musical numbers. Plus you get a monster sized dose of Vincent Price and John Carradine as the book ends of each of the stories and boy oh boy they are hamming it up and down. The best part is that Boris Pickett was nowhere to be found and for the Forever Midnight boys that meant this flick might not stink to high heavens like the Wolfman's nards or the Crypt Kickers crypt knickers. 

In this episode, one of the Forever Midnight’s Patreon Top Dawgs picked a movie for the FM3 to chat about and even sent a gift across the pond. Mysteriously, this gift just happened to arrive the very day the guys were sitting down to record his special episode!! Some might call that a coincidence, but Jef, Josh and Brian call it a coinkydink or more possibly good old fashioned stalking…hmmm? How did he know when the guys were recording? How did he know they like gifts? How did he know where to send them gifts? Do you know where to send them gifts?    Well, regardless of the impending restraining order against the crew's favorite Brit-Ish Cabbie, the guys got to check off their watch list for another teen slasher flick from the 80’s!  The one and only Slaughter High!! So grab a seat, cause this is a fun episode. Remember folks that if you prank, torture and disfigure a person, they will probably totally forgive and forget and you will get to live a long guilt free life!   Just remember to always yell "April Fool's Day!" so you can't get in trouble!!  Hooray!!

This episode was originally uploaded to our Patreon feed in June of 2021, we hope you enjoy us talking about this classic vampire TV mini-series adapted from a story by Stephen King and directed by the one and only Tobe Hooper! We will be back next week with a brand new episode ready to delight your earholes!  Peace, Love and Scary movies!

In this episode, the FM3 get to check out the much anticipated and mysterious horror flick "Weapons" by the director of 2022's "Barbarian", Mr. Zach Cregger. The boys were excited by how little they all collectively knew about this one, but the small teasers had them baited and ready to run (hands down) to the theater as soon as they could! As usual, spoilers lie ahead folks. Jef, Josh and Brian highly recommend you check out this one with your creepy Aunt while it's still on the big screen! Enjoy!  

In this week's episode, Jef, Josh and Brian are so happy to be back at the movie theater watching a brand new horror flick! The FM3 sit down for Michael Shanks "Together" starring Alison Brie and her real life husband Dave Franco. Hopes were high and little was known about this project for The Forever Midnight Crew. The convo after viewing got a little hot in a few spots, tempers were raging and the lack of dong shots dominated some of the chat but that's how it goes when talking about Body Horror in a post The Substance world.  (There was an audio issue in this ep with one of the mics, apologies). Thank you for listening!

In this episode the FM3 tackle another Top Dawg Patreon Flick!! The guys find themselves court-side with a little known 90’s gem called “The Catcher”.  Jef, Josh and Brian were hoping for a World Cup worthy slasher, but at the end of the quarter there was no such luck and instead The Forever Midnight Crew felt more like Joe Estevez’s head after getting bonked with a baseball bat!! GOAL!!! You too can feel the bonk of “The Catcher” streaming for free on YouTube here:    https://youtu.be/RLyg6NLOwQc?si=SpbwdizS7gDVhNuo

This week, Jef has chosen one of his late-aughts faves: 2008’s ‘The Ruins’. Brian comes to terms with the fact that he requires his horror villains to have a face - preferably one made of rubber - and Josh is again frustrated with Jef’s determination to bring actual good movies to the dinner table. Because he prefers the taste of crap. Although the social media video sensation known as ‘Vines’ wouldn’t take off until five years later, this white-privilege, vacation-friends, major-label body-horror gem features vines front and center, atop a pyramid! And while this same year, M. Night’s ‘The Happening’ would feature the fjärts of the plant world, ‘The Ruins’ focuses more on the teeth, the viscera, the mimicry and the invasion! Plug in your green thumb and enjoy!

In this episode, Jef, Josh and Brian are treated to another Top Dawg Patreon Pick! This time around the FM3 get wet ankles in an abandoned, rusty ex military installation in Japan that houses some sinister secrets. That's right, The FM3 are checking out "Evil Dead Trap" from 1988!!  This flick's name alone is enough to get you to watch it, but for whatever reason the Forever Midnight crew had never checked it. Thankfully the crew has some truly wonderful Patrons over on Patreon that throw them some picks out of left field and for that the guys at FM salute you! You too can join the fun by streaming "Evil Dead Trap" now on Plex, Screambox, Prime Video, AMC+ and Fandor!  

In this episode, Brian thought it would be fun to hike out into the wilderness for some summer slasher action and picked "The Prey" from 1983. Slashering was slightly highlighted in this budget flick but not as much as all the crazy critters thrown in to pad the run time. This movie is part Temu Friday the 13th, part Mutual Of Omaha's Wild Kingdom with just a tiny sprinkle of the Addams Family.  The perfect recipe to leave you plopped down criss cross applesauce right in the campfire! Streaming now on TUBI!!

In this episode the FM3 head to Texarkana to watch and chat about 2014's "The Town That Dreaded Sundown". This flick was served up by one of Forever Midnight's beloved Top Dawg Patrons over on Patreon. Thankfully they were forced to check it out which was just the push they needed! Jef, Josh and Brian had half expected another Scream rip-off, so they had somewhat avoided it  for years but were all curious about this requel and the real life murders that inspired the original in 1976. So prepare yourself to be transported to a land beyond time, a land of moonlight murders and trombones that have the taste for human blood!!  Join us over on Patreon at Patreon.com/forevermidnight for over 80 exclusive episodes!
