A Nightmare on Elm Street: Freddy's Nightmares (1988)

Welcome to Springwood! This week on the Grindhouse Syndicate we are stepping away from the silver screen and diving into one of the most forgotten corners of the Nightmare on Elm Street universe. Freddy's Nightmares — the 1988 anthology television series hosted by everyone's favorite dream demon — is a show that most horror fans either barely remember or never knew existed in the first place. And this week we are digging into why. We talk about how and why the show was created, what ultimately led to it being cancelled after just two seasons, and why it never quite managed to burn itself into the pop culture consciousness the way Freddy Krueger himself did. We also take a deep dive into the very first episode — a genuinely fascinating look at the events leading up to the original 1984 A Nightmare on Elm Street that gives fans a whole new perspective on how Freddy came to haunt our dreams. If you thought you knew everything about the Elm Street universe think again. So join us this week as the Grindhouse Syndicate explores the forgotten nightmare!

SLUGS, The Movie (1988)

They're slimy, they’re hungry, they’re mutant SLUGS! This week on the Grindhouse Syndicate we are getting down and dirty with one of the most gloriously ridiculous creature features the 1980s ever produced. Juan Piquer Simón's 1988 cult classic Slugs is exactly the kind of movie this show was made for — and we had an absolute blast covering it. We dig into the hilariously bad dubbing that has to be heard to be believed, the unhinged decision to use hundreds of real live slugs on set, and practical effects that genuinely impress even when everything else around them is falling apart. We also talk about the uneven story, some acting choices that left us speechless, and two of the most unforgettable moments in late 80s horror — a face full of worms that has to be seen to be believed and a hero who decided the best way to save the day was to just blow up the entire town. Is Slugs a good movie? Absolutely not. Is it one of the most fun watches we have had on this show? Without question. So grab some salt and join us this week because the Grindhouse Syndicate is going full slime mode!

Lake Mungo (2008)

Some horror films scare you. This one haunts you. This week on the Grindhouse Syndicate we are heading down under for a film that left us genuinely shaken in ways that are hard to even put into words. Joel Anderson's 2008 Australian masterpiece Lake Mungo is one of the most beautifully crafted and emotionally devastating horror films we have ever covered on this show — and we had a lot to say about it. We dig into Anderson's incredible screenplay and why the story hits so much harder than your typical ghost story, how the documentary style feels so perfectly chosen for this particular narrative that you forget you are watching a film, and the remarkable cast who improvised their performances giving the whole thing an authenticity that is almost uncomfortable to watch. But most of all we talk about how genuinely sad this film is. Lake Mungo is a horror film that sneaks up on you emotionally and hits you somewhere deep that you did not expect. We were affected by this one in ways we are still processing. So join us this week as the Grindhouse Syndicate takes on the film that broke us a little bit — and we mean that as the highest possible compliment!

Tales From the Script: House of Horror (1993)

Trick or treat! This week on the Grindhouse Syndicate we are celebrating Halloween a little early by diving into one of the best episodes Tales from the Crypt ever produced. Season 5 Episode 7 — House of Horror — is the kind of television that reminds you why this show was so special. We dig into why this episode is an absolute perfect Halloween watch, the incredible haunted house setting that drips with atmosphere and dread, and a cast so stacked with 90s stars it almost feels unfair. Keith Coogan, Jason London, Meredith Salenger, Wil Wheaton, and Kevin Dillon all showing up in one Tales from the Crypt episode? Yes please. We also get into that twist ending and why it hits so hard and works so perfectly within the framework of what makes Tales from the Crypt so iconic. So grab your candy corn and join us this week because the Grindhouse Syndicate is checking into the House of Horror!

The Devil's Candy (2015)

The devil is in the details! This week on the Grindhouse Syndicate we are diving into one of the most unique and underrated possession films of the last decade. Sean Byrne's 2015 slow burn masterpiece The Devil's Candy is not your typical demonic horror film — and that is exactly what makes it so special. We dig into what sets this film apart from every other possession movie out there, the stunning and haunting imagery that Byrne uses to get under your skin, and a score and soundtrack so heavy and perfectly chosen it practically becomes a character in itself. Oh and that ending? We get into the absolutely unhinged and unforgettable showdown that closes this film out in the most gloriously insane way possible. If you have been sleeping on The Devil's Candy it is time to wake up. So crank up the volume and join us this week because the Grindhouse Syndicate is going full metal!
