Put on your swim trunks, we're taking a dip in The Pool (2001), the post-Scream tale of students at a prestigious Prague high school who decide to get nice and wet for their graduation party, soon finding themselves in the deep end with a machete-toting maniac in a skull mask. We discuss the film's slick death scenes, its Euro sensibilities, the storied (but all too real) sequel that never got a release (do you wanna know a secret? it does exist!), and much, much more!
1All shock collars set to high voltage as we zip through a maze of bloodthirsty killers, Japanese gameshow cliches, and perhaps way too much linguistic back and forth with Maurice Devereaux' low-budget 2001 slasher, $LA$HER$. We're joined by listener and friend of the show, Jake Rubenstein, to discuss the film's ambitious nature (despite its budgetary constraints), director Maurice Devereaux' short-lived filmography, and much, much more!
Like a typical reaction to Erik's joke of the week, you have the right to remain silent - forever - with Bill Lustig's 1988 officer of the law action-slasher, Maniac Cop. We're joined by listener, Austin Stenberg, to discuss this offbeat tale of a police officer gone rogue for murder.
Back to the drive-in for some low-fi proto-slasher thrills. We are very excited to be joined by guest Rob Freese. Mind out for that sword! Plus, recently seen, Erik's joke of the week and so much more!
Back to the deep south for some deep wounds in the third dimension in yet another reawakening of the classic slasher series. Plus, recently seen, Erik's joke of the week and so much more!
Time to get down-and-dirty with this slasher adjacent dark comedy from Charles Kaufman, where a trio of female friends battle psycho momma's boys and their backwoods matriach. Plus, recently seen, Erik's joke of the week and so much more!
Now for something slightly different. We take a look at the Indian language slasher remake of URBAN LEGEND (that has a side helping of the Mel Gibson comedy WHAT WOMEN WANT). Murders, dancing and electrocuted genitals await in this crazy Kollywood epic! Plus, recently seen, Erik's joke of the week and so much more!
We're off to the woods for a run in with the Psycho Cop! We cover this fun, cheesy late 80s slasher, but it's perhaps the director's fascinating life that's the real story. Plus, recently seen, Erik's joke of the week and so much more!
Will you be hooked again? We take a look at this post-SCREAM slasher starring a pre-fame Anna Faris - and take a look at the early 80s slasher from Cannon Films of the same name that never was. Plus, recently seen, Erik's joke of the week and so much more!
