Ep 25 - SLASHICS! The Vincent Price is Right!

Thrills! Chills! And plenty of cheese, winks, and nods as we explore The House on Haunted Hill 1959 and 1999, one of our oldest films yet covered, and a dearly beloved addition to the “SLASHICS” cannon. From finding festive frights in the funhouse of Vincent Price and his velvety voiceovers, to delighting in the peak turn of the century indulgences that would spawn the subsequent decade’s most dastardly trends. BYO tiny coffin with a handgun.

Ep 23 - Un Repas Complet: A History of Hannibal’s Cinematic Cannibalism.

Crack open the chianti and break out the fava beans because the basement boys cordially invite you to see, to hear, to consume our brains, er, thoughts on the film and television adaptations of the works of Thomas Harris, author of the Hannibal Lecter novels: four books, five movies, three wild seasons of TV, an almost unrivaled historic Oscar run, and a connoisseur of killing to humble all slashers before him (or at least offer them some sound psychiatric advice). So mind your manners, and watch and listen to our design.

Ep 22 - SLASHICS! The Amityville Cash-Cow.

This week the boys gather under one roof and decide to tear down the classic haunted house story, The Amityville Horror. Comparing, Contrasting, and Complaining about both the 1979 and 2005 releases. Settling into the basement, the boys dive deep into the real life inspiration of the book and films (for our true crime friends out there). So let’s deny the whispers around the house, grab a fly swatter, and head down to the basement to save a dog!

Ep 21 - Scream- Slashics Come Full Circle.

This time around the guys take a STAB at Scream. A franchise. that wrote down all the horror movies rules, and proceeded to break all of them. Wes Craven came out of left field with this meta slasher that would make Agatha Christie cheer. So let’s dig into the gritty details and make Randy proud! We’ll be right back!
