Rob Zombie's Halloween II - Commentary Track

It puts the "The" in The Wolfman! With a new reimagining of the classic Universal Monsters movie out in the theaters, simply titled "Wolf Man," it's time to go back and rewatch the first remake that we discussed years ago. How does it compare to Leigh Whannell's take? Have either Gabe or Connor changed their minds? And, can we go back to when werewolves looked like this? Pretty please?David Lynch Tribute: https://gabrieltheis.substack.com/p/david-lynch-joins-the-red-room Website: https://thatbadmedia.com/ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/33D4bKj...

Merry Christmas to everyone except Booster! Instead of watching some Killer Santa movie, we're tackling an actual family-friendly holiday flick starring the King of the Action Stars, Arnold Schwarzenneger. After ratcheting up action classic after action classic, Ah-nold decided to take it easy and do a Christmas movie: Jingle All The Way.While it raked in cash at the box office, the vast majority of critics put this movie on their naughty list. Does this movie represent the peak of consumerism and over-saturated movie stars, or is it a misunderstood holiday staple that stars some of comedies' finest talent from the '90s?

Happy Holidays, sickos! Break out the Cannibal Christmas Cookies, because today we're talking about the remake to the deep-cut slasher classic, Black Christmas! Before you get riled up, we're not talking about the 2019 Blumhouse version, but the gross-out splatterfest that came out in 2006. On paper, this remake looks Ho Ho Hopeless.It gave it's mysterious killer a TMI origin story, swapped out suspense for incest and cannibalism, and basically did the opposite of everything the original did. But since this is the giving season, we're giving this reimagining a chance to see if there's more to this movie than meets the gorged-out eye.

Happy Halloween! Everyone's entitled to one good scare, and what could be spookier than two podcasters simping over the most ultra-hated entry of the beloved Halloween franchise? Connor and Gabe have alluded to their adoration of Rob Zombie's Halloween II, but now they finally have the gall to sit down and explain why in the form of a commentary track.So watch H2 with Gabe and Connor as they revisit their favorite (yes, favorite) Halloween flick.

The Hellraiser franchise might have started off on a high note with Clive Barker's original fable of sadomasochistic puzzle boxes and otherworldly perversion, but the series lost steam so hard that it became virtually synonymous with Straight-to-DVD shlock. By the aughts, everyone except for the hardcore Hellraiser fans checked out. Even they would admit the series hit a low point.Still, that didn't prepare anyone for Hellraiser: Revelations, a sequel that was so slapshot and shoddy that longtime Pinhead actor Doug Bradley didn't return for the first time. Ever since it's release, Hellraiser: Revelations has been so irreputable that it's reached an almost legendary status. Does anyone dare try to defend it?Turns out, horror novelist, screenwriter, and journalist Preston Fassel has a lot to say in Revelations' favor. Join us for a discussion with Preston as we talk about Revelations' production, how it tries to honor the original Hellraiser, and the status of this famously uneven franchise.Preston's Defense of Hellraiser: Revelations for Fangoria: https://www.fangoria.com/in-defense-of-revelation-the-hellraiser-movie-that-could-have-and-should-have-been-more/

Join us for the Spooky Season as we watch a Spooktacular sequel. Spooktacular as in, spooky to Friday the 13th fans. Today we're talking about Jason Goes to Hell, a movie that practically tramautized the fanbase and was seen as one of many films that basically killed the golden era of slasher movies. With its bizarre storyline involving bodyswapping, an utter lack of Jason, and a weird mythology, Jason Goes To Hell is almost unrecognizable as a F13 flick. So why would a couple of slasher fanboys defend it? Maybe it's because this is the last gasp of facemelting Practical FX. Maybe it's because it's a true video nasty compared to the corporatized Jason Takes Manhattan. Or maybe it's just because of one slick gentleman named Creighton Duke. Either way, hang with us as we talk about the misunderstood genius of Jason Goes to Hell.Website: https://thatbadmedia.com/Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/33D4bKj...Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...Twitter: https://x.com/ThatBadMediaFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/thatbadmedia...Hearts of Darkness: The Making of the Final Friday - https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/hearts-of-darkness-the-making-of-the-final-friday#/

20 years ago, the first Saw was released to theaters and movies haven't ever been the same since. James Wan's directorial debut spawned one of the most lucrative, if not polarizing franchises in horror history, with a sequel being pumped out on a yearly basis.With each entry, the timeline got more hopelessly convoluted and backlash intensified over the franchise's penchant for torment. So the producers decided to pump the breaks and end the series with Saw 3D, an entry that was so disappointing that they had no choice but to reboot the franchise several times over. "Saw 3D" has often been regarded as a low point for a franchise that was already seeing diminishing returns, but the resurgence of the Saw franchise has led some to reevaluate the "Hoffman" era.Gabe and Connor ask: is Saw 3D a mess of a finale that prioritizes gimmicks over story? Or is it a solid Saw film with some franchise highlights in it? Well strap on that Reverse Bear Claw and grab those 3D glasses, because Gabe and Connor are going to play a game... the game of Saw 3D. #sawfranchise #3d #sequels #jameswan

"The Crow" remake starring Bill Skaarsgaard is on the horizon, so Gabe and Connor look at the last theatrical movie in the franchise: "The Crow: City of Angels." Forced to become an anthology series after the tragic loss of Brandon Lee, The Crow franchise flopped so hard with this second effort that the series went straight-to-video afterwards. That's largely thanks to meddling from everyone's favorite guy, Harvey Weinstein, who butchered the original vision by director Tim Pope and screenwriter David S. Goyer.Still, after the mediocore-to-spectacularly awful sequels that came afterwards, some fans appreciate this flick's style and consider it a worthy successor to the beloved original. So Gabe and Connor ask if COA was DOA, or if there's something to be salvaged in this strange concoction of BDSM, Nu Metal, and smog. Oh, and Iggy Pop.Website: https://thatbadmedia.com/Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/33D4bKj...Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...Twitter: https://x.com/ThatBadMediaFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/thatbadmedia...Patreon: /thatbadmediaBe sure to check out our recent collab with Cody Leach: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsgQbhNoUPc&t=580s

Fellow YouTuber and self-professed "Freddy Fanatic" joins to talk about the long-awaited slasher crossover, "Freddy vs. Jason." Easily "The Avengers" of Dead Teenager movies, Freddy vs. Jason was teased to horror fans at the end of Jason Goes to Hell. Those same fans had to wait over a decade through development hell and unused scrips before New Line Cinema finally delivered the film in 2003.While it was a slasher flick that was hyped like no other, "Freddy vs. Jason" hasn't aged well with genre purists and is often dismissed as being yet another crossover event that couldn't live up to the hype, along with Alien vs. Predator and Batman v. Superman. Over 20 years after Freddy vs. Jason was released, is it worthy of its subpar reputation? Is it a better Freddy movie, or a better Jason movie? And, most importantly, why have neither of these characters been seen in a movie since the 2000s? Cody's channel: https://www.youtube.com/@UCcrkZ_zDZPRwDj--qoxm9cwWebsite: https://thatbadmedia.comSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/33D4bKj2NXmM6IaMFEViVOApple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/that-bad-media/id1630171685Twitter: https://x.com/ThatBadMedia Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thatbadmedia?_rdr Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thatbadmedia

It's been 50 years since the release of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, hailed as one of the most important and impactful horror films ever made. The sequels? Not so much.While Tobe Hooper would direct another sequel, the true sequelification of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre wouldn't happen until the third entry. After the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise started to slow down, New Line Cinemas decided to buy the rights to Leatherface and his cannibalistic clan to jumpstart a new tentpole franchise.The result was Leatherface: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre III, which was arguably masssacred by the MPAA and substantially tamed down for theatrical release. What was left was a film that disappointed fans and disinterested the moviegoing public. Years later, after an endless horde of requels and reboots to the iconic classic, does this forgotten third entry have any meat on its bones? Let's find out as we put the teeth in terror (whatever that means).
