Constriction Pictures: ...Movies That Grab You

My Bloody Valentine (1981)

From the heart comes a podcast filled with bloody good cheer! Remember My Bloody Valentine as the 14th draws near... Happy Valentine's Day! Sit back and have a listen as I'm joined by my own Bloody Valentine to discuss the 1981 Canadian Slasher classic - My Bloody Valentine! Remember...beware of Harry Warden!

Aliens (1986)

"This time it's war." Happy Alien Day everyone! On tonight's episode, join me as I trying something a little different while discussing James Cameron's incredible 1986 Sci-Fi/Horror/Action sequel, Aliens. Since destroying the titular beast from 1979's Alien, Lt. Ellen Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) has been aimlessly drifting through outer space, unaware of her unusually long hypersleep. 57 years later, she's rescued and is prompted to join a group of Colonial Marines on a search and destroy mission back to LV-426, the planet where Ripley's alien terror was first encountered. Aliens is pretty much THE perfect sequel in terms of upping the ante and being a nonstop thrill ride of a motion picture!

A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master (1988)

Are you ready...for Freddy? Tonight, I'm joined by my old friend Brittany and, together, we discuss a film that's near and dear to the hearts of many misfits, outsiders, and dreamers -- A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master! After being resurrected in the wildest way possible, Freddy Krueger returns to slash his way through the remaining Dream Warriors and now he has his sights on a whole new group of kids. This time, however, someone's waiting for him and they're ready....The Dream Master. Released during the fever pitch height of Freddy Mania, Nightmare 4 is a film that easily defines what a Constriction Picture is. So please tune in and check it out!

The Howling (1981)

"Imagine your worst fear a reality." Tonight, we're talking about Joe Dante's 1981 werewolf classic, The Howling! Dee Wallace stars as an LA newslady who gets in too deep with a serial killer who turns out to be in touch with his... animalistic side. She's then sent to a self-help retreat by a quack who's a New Age Jim Jones type, where she finds out the terrifying truth behind Eddie The Mangler's bloody trail of bodies. Joe Dante directs from a John Sayles screenplay that's got as much biting humor and in-jokes as it does Horror and suspense. Also featuring some stellar and groundbreaking special effects from Rob Bottin, The Howling can easily stand paw to paw with An American Werewolf In London as the greatest werewolf movie of 1981!

Texas Chainsaw Massacre Part 2 (1986)

After years of silence...the buzz is back! "Lick mah plate..." and join me in a discussion about Tobe Hooper's insane, black comedy sequel to his original 1974 masterpiece. The crazy, possibly inbred (?) family from The Texas Chain Saw Massacre returns and this time, they've got a grease truck business, but they better watch out because Dennis Hopper is hot on their trail and out for revenge! Featuring stunning, over the top gore special effects from the legendary Tom Savini, a pretty kickass Punk/New Wave soundtrack and a solid "final girl" performance from the awesome Caroline Williams -- Texas Chainsaw Massacre Part 2 rules!
