Speak All Evil Podcast

Episode 337: Halloween is over but we’re not over Halloween. Having previously discussed only a few entries in the longest running classic slasher franchise, we decided to knock on a few more doors looking for treats. Halloween II (1981), Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers (1988), Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers (1989), and Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers (1995) complete the original first run of the series and our bags overflow.

Episode 336: Crawlers. An apartment complex goes into strict lockdown and police-mandated quarantine after an outbreak of fast-multiplying, venomous spiders. Plus, Scream Bloody Murder (1973), Sole Survivor (1984), The Possession of Joel Delaney (1972), and The Devonsville Terror (1983).

Episode 335: Beware Boiuna. Roll over Anaconda, there's a new snake in the grass. Director Mike P Nelson (Wrong Turn, Silent Night Deadly Night) and writer Alan B McElroy (Wrong Turn 2003 & 2021) have teamed up again for an Amazon set creature feature that could only have come from two guys with middle initials. Starring Kiana Madeira, Jessia Rothe, and Logan Marshall-Green, and based on Brazilian folklore about the "Cobra-Grande", this is a snake movie ssssatisfies. Spoiler: we dug it. 

Episode 334: When Evil Lurks (2023), The Ruins (2008). A case could be made that these two bangers we’ve never covered share a kind of environmentally based horror connection and that they’re each one of the best horror films of their respective eras. This week we make that case. 

Episode 333: Resident Evil. The third feature film from writer/director Zach Cregger, the filmmaker who brought horror to the Academy Awards with Weapons (2024), takes on the long running video game adapted franchise for an entirely fresh reboot. Plus, Penny Lane is Dead, All the Boys Love Mandy Lane, and more. 

Episode 332: The Psycho film franchise. The shadow of Alfred Hitchcock’s 1960 classic looms large over the later slasher boom inspired Psycho sequels but this week we check back into Bates Motel to take the films on their own terms. We all go a little mad sometimes. 

Episode 331: One Missed Call (2003 & 2008), Exhuma (2024). On an off-week from theaters we dialed up some Asian horror with one South Korean hit, one Japanese hit, and one phoned-in American remake that should’ve gone straight to voicemail.

Episode 330: Buddy. Children must escape a 90s kids television show (think Barney) when the titular pink unicorn goes on an ax welding rampage. It all makes sense as written and directed by Casper Kelly (Too Many Cooks, Fun Size) at his surrealist fever dream best. We loved it. Plus, The Banana Splits Movie, Willy’s Wonderland, and more. 

Episode 329: Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma. The third and final feature film installment of writer/director Jane Schoenbrun's "screen trilogy" has hit theaters as a Mubi release that was too weird for A24 but perfectly weird for us. Spoiler: We loved it. It is a cinematic gift to horror film fans and we want everyone to see it. Go to this movie. Plus, I Saw the TV Glow. 

Episode 328: The End of Oak Street. From writer/director David Robert Mitchell (It Follows) and producer J.J. Abrams, The End of Oak Street promises a sci-fi survival thriller where Jurassic Park meets 1980s suburbia. And this time, the dinosaurs have feathers. Plus, in advance of the upcoming Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma, a look back at Jane Schoenbrun's debut feature, We're All Going to the World's Fair (2022).
