Ep -373: Killer Party (1986).

In this episode Jef gets to choose a flick to watch and chat about and after the string of stinkers and vastly unknown movies, He thought The FM3 should finally tackle a seminal horror film. Something everyone knows for a change. Travelling all the way from 80's Italy comes 1985's beloved "Demons". The boys have been wanting to do a proper episode on this classic forever and there is no better time than 2026.  Produced by Argento and Directed by Lamberto Bava this movie has all the making of a fave for the Forever Midnight crew! filled to the brim of the Italian boot, this one has everything from glowing eyes, a movie theater, great music and bad dubbing, this episode is sure to be a lot of fun! Enjoy!

In this episode the boys get their pranks on with Josh's pick the overlooked April Fools Day flick "Killer Party" from 1986. Besides shooting the shit about prince and obscure 80's films in this episode, the FM3 may have stumbled truly onto a hidden gem, or a possible diamond in the rough. From the jump things are looking very promising, and any horror film that kicks off this way has gotta be good, right?!  Well Jef, Josh and Brian will leave that decision up to you, the one thing that is for sure is that this weird little movie has charm and charm goes a long way for The Forever Midnight guys. Enjoy! 

In this episode old Brian gets to choose a movie for the crew to watch and talk about, but in typical fashion he goes with an obscure random pick , 1988's "Spider Labyrinth". None of the FM3 had seen this one yet so they had hopes that maybe it could be a hidden gem, however the boys find out very slowly that maybe that isn't the case. But you know the saying "different strokes for different folks" and who knows, maybe you will become one of the dozens of fans of this stinky spaghetti sandwich. Enjoy!

In this episode the FM3 tackle a pick from one of their Top Dawg Patreon patrons. The First film from "Mandy" director Panos Cosmatos, the moody, creepy sci-fi slow-burn "Beyond The Black Rainbow".  This film simmers between a nightmare and fever dream and really what more could you ask for? Sure it's slow, sure the story is barely a story, but it looks like a trillion bucks and the Forever Midnight crew suggest you give it a watch, at least once. 

In this episode, the FM3 get super excited about a movie poster, so much so that Jef changes his pick for the week so that the crew will watch and talk about "The Visitor" (1979). This odd Italian sci-fi horror mashup is one of those classic cases of the poster being way better than the film. Regardless the Forever Midnight dudes hunker down and transcend time and space to visit a great battle between Sateen and Yahweh but really it's just a squabble between a shitty little girl and a crazy old man who does a lot of lookin' and not enough cookin'! Worth a watch? Sure, but don't go into this one thinking you will figure the story out, this film came out almost 50 years ago and Jef, Josh and Brian are certain there is no figuring out this story. Enjoy!

In this episode Josh picked a movie for the crew to watch and talk about but didn't remember until he saw the movie what it was that made him pick it. Yes you read that right hahaha. He chose the 1986 peeper production "Crawlspace" featuring nobody's favorite difficult actor Klaus Kinski. This movie is a weird wild one with "Gunther" (Mr. Kinski) being a huge creeper from start to finish. Plus knowing how difficult it was to make it with him it's amazing that this film is as watchable as it is.  Sure it has its moments but also thank the Dark Lord it's short. It is worth a watch if only to see a genuine madman getting paid to just be a crazy bastard. Enjoy!

In this episode one of Forever Midnight's Top Dawg Patreon Patrons is at the wheel and chose "Silent Hill" (2006). A couple of the guys were excited to watch this one again but one of the guys not so much. This flick seems to be loved or hated and there is not really much in the way of middle ground. The guys have a spirited talk about "Silent Hill" and then even get a bit into the series "Welcome to Derry". So sit back, enjoy the show and if you start to see ash falling from the sky and a huge man with a knife that is just too damn big for him, close your eyes, click your heels and pray to Alessa the dark lord.

In this episode the FM3 are riding shotgun once again with Ghostface! That's right, Jef's fave franchise has another installment and the boys are chatting about it! Knowing about the ups and downs that happened before this film got started, our dudes wondered what they would do with this one. Regardless, folks get to see Ghostface merkin' fools left and right and the OG final girl from the series is gonna serve up a piping hot cup of ass kicking. So stick together, and remember the killer is always someone you know. Enjoy!

In this episode the FM3 tackle one of the most infamous horror films ever, Jörg Buttgereit's NEKROMANTIK! The lore behind this 1987 gorefest is the stuff of legend. Trying to track down an actual copy back in the 90's was a fruitless quest for so many curious gross-out nerds. Banned in many countries even to this day, you could say that watching NEKROMANTIK is much like receiving a medal for bravery. It is not for the faint of heart and has many trigger warnings such as real animal murder, fake animal murder,  suicide, and as you can imagine everything you might do to a corpse if you were a ghoul. So folks that have not feasted their eyes on this gag inducing film may want to go in cautiously and Jef, Josh and Brian suggest eating before you hit play. Godspeed and don't forget your barf bag! (Movie talk starts at 22:50 if you don't wanna hear the guys catching up)

In this episode it's Jef's turn to choose and He decided on a flick that has been haunting him for many moons 1989's "Hider in the House".  While not categorized as a horror film, the premise of Gary Busey living in a hidden room in your attic is one of the most horrific things Jef, Josh and Brian could ever imagine. This movie delivers all the horror tropes you could ask for and also begs the question, is it possibly an off season sequel to Halloween? Meanwhile, the FM3 have long been worried about a Hider in the Scary Movie Research Center, there is plenty of candy, beers and Brian's sweatshirts to wear that a creep could live comfortably that is until the day he started popping up trying to convince Brian and Josh that Jef had another podcast he was cheating on them with. But before it was too late, Jef discovered his stash of old beans and playboy's in the supply closet and had to battle him to the death so he could keep Forever Midnight going. Whooo, That was a close one.
