Eric and Jake revisit a favorite slasher directed by Amy Holden Jones. They make the case for Slumber Party Massacre getting the respect of other classics in the subgenre. ***this week and next week’s episode contain some artifacts in the audio track that were present on the original recording. We apologize and have corrected the issue going forward, we appreciate you listening to Photo-Flo!

In 1984, Wes Craven changed the Horror genre forever, giving us an iconic monster named Freddy Krueger. A demonic child killer that made audiences afraid to go to sleep. A Nightmare On Elm Street launched careers, a franchise, and a film studio. Jake and Eric discuss Elm Street and what its legacy has meant to them over the years.

Eric and Jake take a trip to Morningside Mortuary and come face to face with The Tall Man in Don Coscarelli’s Phantasm. This was Eric’s first time watching the cult classic! Originally recorded the day after Thanksgiving 2022.

Alfred Hitchcock’s PSYCHO (1960) / Stuart Gordon’s RE-ANIMATOR (1985) - This week’s double feature discussion begins with a proto-slasher masterpiece and ends with a transgressive undead classic, which Eric has watched for the first time! The only things both movies have in common are psychopaths and music.

Eric and Jake give their lists of essential slashics! Thank you for listening. Tune in on June 16th for our double feature discussion of Phantasm and A Nightmare On Elm Street!

DC vs Marvel! Swamp monsters vs vampires! Welcome to Photo-Flo!!! We’re back! We’ll be discussing two pioneering comic book movies that did it before it was cool. Wes Craven’s Swamp Thing and Stephen Norrington’s Blade!

Eric and Jake dig deep into the horror genre with The Last House On The Left (1972) and The Town That Dreaded Sundown (1976)

We don’t want to be buried in a Pet Sematary, but we don’t mind a visit now and again. Tonight Eric and Jake discuss the 1989 adaptation directed by Mary Lambert from a screenplay by Stephen King. We follow that up with Alfred Hitchcock’s follow-up to Psycho, the 1963 shocker, The Birds.

We had a triple feature Halloween Special planned, but life and technology got in the way, causing a severe audio hiccup. We lost our host Eric Jones’ side of the conversation. However you still get to hear Jake and special guest Heather Almond discuss the immortal classic, Halloween (1978). We hope you enjoy!
