No better film to set the tone than Joe Dante's videostore rental favorite, The 'Burbs. Starring Tom Hanks, Carrie Fisher, and a slew of other stars, it's still baffling why this hilarious send-up of suburbia and "the horrors behind closed doors" received such critical fire during its theatrical run. But history has redeemed this one, and we loved revisiting our favorite moments on this week's episode. Enjoy the review, and let us know YOUR favorite lines!

As we delve into the atmospheric prowess of the film, we explore its accidental perfect timing, memorable characters, and Carpenter's genius creative choices. Discover how 'The Fog' has aged, the ingenious practical effects, and our personal connections and memories associated with this spooky tale. Thank you to our patrons for elevating this classic to the top of our list!

Join us in this latest episode of Two Guys in a Chainsaw as we dive deep into the grindhouse horror classic, 'The Toolbox Murders'. Returning from 'In Space Month', Todd and Craig go back to Earth and back in time to the raw exploitative cinema of the 70s. We discuss the iconic VHS cover, Stephen King's surprising endorsement, and the film's brutal and sleazy content that only 70s grindhouse could deliver. Listen as we break down the plot, the over-the-top kills, the bizarre character moments, and the lasting impact of this unsettling flick.

Is this the best Friday the 13th film ever? Craig seems to think so. We discuss the film's blend of sci-fi and horror, its unique setting, memorable kills, and the transformation of Jason into Uber Jason. With behind-the-scenes insights and a comparison to the other cosmic horror films we covered this month, we're gonna explore why 'Jason X' stands out in the Friday the 13th franchise - and among "in space" franchise entries in general. Check it out!

Todd, who is less familiar with the Hellraiser franchise, and Craig, who has seen more of the movies, discuss the unique elements that set this film apart from typical horror settings. We both found the film surprisingly enjoyable despite its poor initial reception. We loved its coherence, special effects, and performances, especially Doug Bradley’s extensive monologuing as Priest of Hell Pinhead.

'Leprechaun 4: In Space.' has a ridiculous plot, terrible CGI, and over-the-top performances that make this fourth installment in the Leprechaun series a memorable, albeit flawed, film. From the unexpected genesis of the movie inspired by an Apollo 13 poster to the bizarre antics of the leprechaun IN SPACE, we cover the highs, lows, and the infamous Mitten Spider transformation. Hear for yourself what we thought of the second film in our "in space" series this month!

This month's theme: Horror franchises "In SPACE". As we reminisce about the origins of the Critters franchise, comparing it to its contemporaries like Gremlins and Ghoulies, we also puzzle over this entry's plot, performances, and oddly serious tone. Why is Terrence Mann's character suddenly a jerk? And where the f*ck did all the critters go? Listen as we highlight standout performances from surprising actors like Brad Dourif and Angela Bassett (?!) in this low-budget sequel. Despite its shortcomings, we hope you find this a hilarious and engaging review perfect for fans of horror franchises that go TO SPACE!
