Kill By Kill: Talking Horror Characters One Death At A Time

Coming to you straight from the mean streets of DTLA, this episode of the show is putting the 1990 horror-procedural THE FIRST POWER on the stand!! Under cross-examination are the many “undead killer” films of the late 80s and early 90s, what possesses Lou Diamond Phillips to keep wearing a trenchcoat in LA weather, exploring the open and flammable acid pits under Silver Lake, and accounting for how much a local psychic can pull to be able to afford an architectural wonder!! All this, plus a drive-by hoofing, impossible ceiling fans, wang-dang-doodle-splaining, jammy egg acting, obvious dummies, gnarly stunts, and a teleportation-heavy edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure!! It’s a manic Satanic panic this week on Kill By Kill!! Check it out!! NOTE: We apologize once again for missing last week. We have yet to recover all of the audio from our Friday the 13th's Worst Couples episode. Hopefully, we will have it back before next Friday the 13th next month!

Both Becky and Oli are on the mic to heed the dire warning: BEWARE OF MOM!!

For God’s Sake, Get Out of your holiday rut and into Amityville For Christmas!! That's right, we've remixed this episode for clarity as we head home for the holidays. Granted, this home has a demon pit in the basement and flying pigs in the kids’ windows! In this 2023 episode, we start at the beginning of the “Orig Trig” by opening our doors to THE AMITYVILLE HORROR (1979), talking malicious money pits, over-the-top performances, ineffectual Catholics, variable strength hauntings, cool kitchen breezes, and sleeping in murder beds!! The yuletide of blood-soaked walls and total BS stories begins here as we get horny on main for James Brolin and Margot Kidder, get our wig blown back by Rod Steiger, and plan our retirement in the Ye Ol Priests Village!!

That’s right, we’re going back over where it all began yet again with another version of THE AMITYVILLE HORROR, this time with more abs!! So what makes the 2005 edition of the same story so despicably stupid? Why are all the ghosts fighting? How much of this haunting can be chalked up to black mold? What timeline is this babysitter sliding in from? Does anyone emerge from this film unscathed? All this, plus haunted yard sales, Original Grifters, Go Ask Alice, green filters, “not-your-Daddy’s …” syndrome, La Ghostra Nos tra, bathroom gollums, bong stuffing, microfisce letdowns, and we catalogue a filth dungeon worth of Choose Your Own Deathventure!!

There are 8.3 billion people in the world, and only 237 of them are Scanners. And one Scanner is the most boring man in the world. The rest of them are some real firecrackers! That’s right, we’re getting to the cold, frigid truth this week as we talk about the ultimate movie in telepathic horror, 1981’s SCANNERS!!

Ho-Ho-Hold up!! Hang the holly on that haunted house as we attempt to flip Amityville II: The Possession with the help of our pal, Megan Dooley. That's right, it's Amityville For The Holidays time!! Along the way, we talk about filth dungeons, unconvincing priest toupees, too much bladder work, and “fly strips gathered together in the shape of a human” known as Burt Young. It’s Law & Order: Haunted House Special Victims Unit from the beginning, so believe us when we say CONTENT WARNING. This episode contains sensitive material that is not suitable or advisable for everyone. Also, the Priest in this movie wears a terrible wig and we forgot to mention that he was also in Commando.      Part of the BLEAV Network.Get even more episodes exclusively on Patreon!  Artwork by Josh Hollis: joshhollis.com Kill By Kill theme by Revenge Body.

Haunted. Cursed. Malevolent. Where does one even begin when it comes to the Stanley Kubrick adaptation of the Stephen King novel THE SHINING? This week on Kill By Kill, we’re exploring the impact of this totemic film on horror and cinema, and the very conflict between creatives behind it. Here to help us search these endless hallways for clues is writer (Deathbed: Horror Stories by Comedy Writers) and comedian Ritch Duncan!! Along the way, we dig into the origins of the King novel, how he bared his soul about his private parenting fears, and his complex reactions to a film that sets aside those literary intentions for a specifically crafted cinematic experience!! All this, plus Copyright Killers, trash-talking screenwriters, bad slashers, butt scares, Looney Tunes escapes, bad snackers, the many, many pop culture references to The Shining, and an all-work-and-no-play edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure!!

Due to the bizarre nature of this podcast, we hope you put down any sharp food utensils before enjoying Vol. 2 of our re-release bonus episode this week, discussing Happy Birthday To Me (1981)!! Here to help us unwrap this unhinged motion picture is Kill By Kill artist-in-residence and Returning Champion, Josh Hollis (Predict-O-Cast & Butterfly Kisses). We dig into it all, like whether shish kabob can ever truly be considered a midnight snack, confront the idea that we have a legit murderous Mrs. Doubtfire sitch happening here, call into question the standard operating procedures of this town’s drawbridge personnel, and take a quick detour to the Penguin’s evil lair. Plus, the secret powers of Dr. David’s disco medallion are revealed, decide who is on the bottom of the Top 10’s Penis Tottempole, and we make a wish during Choose Your Own Deathventure!

Gather around, family and friends, to celebrate what we’re thankful for: deadly traps. That’s right! The reason for the season is back as we talk turkey, tenuous plot devices, and 2005’s SAW II for Sawsgiving!! Here to help us explore the Jigsaw Industrial Complex is writer (Vulture, BuzzFeed, and more), podcaster (Chasing Amy Adams), and real Saw fan Louis Peitzman!! Along the way, we explore why the Saw franchise is “special in a stupid way,” consider the shifting moral landscape of John Kramer’s terror campaign, address the terrible wigs Shawnee Smith is forced to wear, and discuss why we think Jigsaw rolls deep!! All this, plus location nausea, hand-me-down cop clothes, tetnus for everyone, deadly vibes gas, one-way traps, 9-1-1 Nashville plots, Louis solves the Saw franchise, and we play a little game of Choose Your Own Deathventure!!
