From Beyond

We continue Werewolf Month with the Joe Dante classic, The Howling. Chock full of stars, this one is credited with re-inventing the werewolf genre for the modern audience and making lycanthropy as sexy as vampires.

Our first film is John Landis' classic horror-comedy about two backpackers in the English countryside who get attacked by a werewolf. Hilarity ensues as the dead one comes revisits his friend to warn him that he is the last living werewolf in this line of werewolves and really ought to kill himself to save humanity. This film is most notorious for having perhaps the best werewolf transformation sequence in the history of filmmaking by special effects artist Rick Baker.

How far can you go with the concept of possessed water? We take a deep dive into this Blumhouse / James Wan production to find out!

Jeffrey Combs and Barbara Crampton star in this Stewart Gordon directed special makeup effects extravaganza! This 80s horror flick is simple yet highly entertaining - with a smorgasbord of slimy body horror practical effects that kept our mouths agape. A young Barbara Crampton in bondage gear didn't hurt either...

You guys chose Stephen King's sole directorial effort, Maximum Overdrive, for us to pick apart. From noisy, smoke-belching cars to laugh-out-loud dialogue and hilariously improbable situations, there's a lot to marvel at and yuk it up over. Classic rock band AC/DC adds to the fun of this wildly over-the-top cult classic.

With the new rules and lore established in this movie - now there are THREE books of the dead? - we can plan to see a lot more of this franchise, just as Bruce Campbell has promised. And if they're all as fun, intense, and even genuinely heart-wrenching as this one, we're in for one wild Deadite ride, folks.

Perhaps best known for playing Apollo Creed opposite Stallone in the Rocky franchise, Carl Weathers also had a prominent run in another big-strong-hulking-guy 80s flick opposite Schwarzenegger. In each, he more than holds his own. Thanks to Josh for the suggestion!

Never released to theaters, this 2017 installment struck a perfect tone between humor and horror, which creative director and writer Don Mancini had been refining and reinventing over decades of our favorite possessed killer doll. Not only is it a modern and brutal continuation of Chucky and Andy's adventures, it also set up the television series with lots of material to continue.

After 5 films of an increasingly wacky, campy and jokey premise, this one managed to deftly bring Chucky back to his horror roots, with a more spooky edge, stylized visuals, and dark themes.

Seed of Chucky is the most divisive of all the Child's Play films thus far. It was also the last to be released in theaters. This film leans so heavily into camp that even John Waters has a prominent role in it. Perhaps more comedy than horror, Chucky and Tiff's son from the tail-end of the first film embarks on a journey of self-discovery and is horrified by his parents. But the REAL star of the show is Jennifer Tilly playing herself to hilarious effect. Have a listen and let us know which camp YOU'RE in: Love It? Or Leave It?
