FOREVER MIDNIGHT - Horror Movie Podcast.

In this episode one of the FM3's Patreon Top Dawgs picked a movie that the guys were very skeptical about and never imagined watching it. Having heard the name and seen the VHS artwork Jef, Josh and Brian could only imagine that this flick was nothing more than a  janky music video for Boris Pickett & The Crypt Kicker 5's punishing jam "The Monster Mash".  Thank goodness it wasn't and because It is actually a pretty fun horror anthology with some cool musical numbers. Plus you get a monster sized dose of Vincent Price and John Carradine as the book ends of each of the stories and boy oh boy they are hamming it up and down. The best part is that Boris Pickett was nowhere to be found and for the Forever Midnight boys that meant this flick might not stink to high heavens like the Wolfman's nards or the Crypt Kickers crypt knickers. 

In this episode, one of the Forever Midnight’s Patreon Top Dawgs picked a movie for the FM3 to chat about and even sent a gift across the pond. Mysteriously, this gift just happened to arrive the very day the guys were sitting down to record his special episode!! Some might call that a coincidence, but Jef, Josh and Brian call it a coinkydink or more possibly good old fashioned stalking…hmmm? How did he know when the guys were recording? How did he know they like gifts? How did he know where to send them gifts? Do you know where to send them gifts?    Well, regardless of the impending restraining order against the crew's favorite Brit-Ish Cabbie, the guys got to check off their watch list for another teen slasher flick from the 80’s!  The one and only Slaughter High!! So grab a seat, cause this is a fun episode. Remember folks that if you prank, torture and disfigure a person, they will probably totally forgive and forget and you will get to live a long guilt free life!   Just remember to always yell "April Fool's Day!" so you can't get in trouble!!  Hooray!!

This Salem's Lot episode is actually one of our exclusive Patreon episodes, but since we were unable to record a new episode this past week, We are letting you all take a peek under the cape to check out the goods we offer to our wonderful Patrons over at Patreon.com/forevermidnight. We have 90 exclusive episodes available to check out starting at the $5 level and other content as well! This episode was originally uploaded to our Patreon feed in June of 2021, we hope you enjoy us talking about this classic vampire TV mini-series adapted from a story by Stephen King and directed by the one and only Tobe Hooper! We will be back next week with a brand new episode ready to delight your earholes!  Peace, Love and Scary movies!

In this episode, the FM3 get to check out the much anticipated and mysterious horror flick "Weapons" by the director of 2022's "Barbarian", Mr. Zach Cregger. The boys were excited by how little they all collectively knew about this one, but the small teasers had them baited and ready to run (hands down) to the theater as soon as they could! As usual, spoilers lie ahead folks. Jef, Josh and Brian highly recommend you check out this one with your creepy Aunt while it's still on the big screen! Enjoy!  

In this week's episode, Jef, Josh and Brian are so happy to be back at the movie theater watching a brand new horror flick! The FM3 sit down for Michael Shanks "Together" starring Alison Brie and her real life husband Dave Franco. Hopes were high and little was known about this project for The Forever Midnight Crew. The convo after viewing got a little hot in a few spots, tempers were raging and the lack of dong shots dominated some of the chat but that's how it goes when talking about Body Horror in a post The Substance world.  (There was an audio issue in this ep with one of the mics, apologies). Thank you for listening!

In this episode the FM3 tackle another Top Dawg Patreon Flick!! The guys find themselves court-side with a little known 90’s gem called “The Catcher”.  Jef, Josh and Brian were hoping for a World Cup worthy slasher, but at the end of the quarter there was no such luck and instead The Forever Midnight Crew felt more like Joe Estevez’s head after getting bonked with a baseball bat!! GOAL!!! You too can feel the bonk of “The Catcher” streaming for free on YouTube here:    https://youtu.be/RLyg6NLOwQc?si=SpbwdizS7gDVhNuo

This week, Jef has chosen one of his late-aughts faves: 2008’s ‘The Ruins’. Brian comes to terms with the fact that he requires his horror villains to have a face - preferably one made of rubber - and Josh is again frustrated with Jef’s determination to bring actual good movies to the dinner table. Because he prefers the taste of crap. Although the social media video sensation known as ‘Vines’ wouldn’t take off until five years later, this white-privilege, vacation-friends, major-label body-horror gem features vines front and center, atop a pyramid! And while this same year, M. Night’s ‘The Happening’ would feature the fjärts of the plant world, ‘The Ruins’ focuses more on the teeth, the viscera, the mimicry and the invasion! Plug in your green thumb and enjoy!

In this episode, Jef, Josh and Brian are treated to another Top Dawg Patreon Pick! This time around the FM3 get wet ankles in an abandoned, rusty ex military installation in Japan that houses some sinister secrets. That's right, The FM3 are checking out "Evil Dead Trap" from 1988!!  This flick's name alone is enough to get you to watch it, but for whatever reason the Forever Midnight crew had never checked it. Thankfully the crew has some truly wonderful Patrons over on Patreon that throw them some picks out of left field and for that the guys at FM salute you! You too can join the fun by streaming "Evil Dead Trap" now on Plex, Screambox, Prime Video, AMC+ and Fandor!  

In this episode, Brian thought it would be fun to hike out into the wilderness for some summer slasher action and picked "The Prey" from 1983. Slashering was slightly highlighted in this budget flick but not as much as all the crazy critters thrown in to pad the run time. This movie is part Temu Friday the 13th, part Mutual Of Omaha's Wild Kingdom with just a tiny sprinkle of the Addams Family.  The perfect recipe to leave you plopped down criss cross applesauce right in the campfire! Streaming now on TUBI!!

In this episode the FM3 head to Texarkana to watch and chat about 2014's "The Town That Dreaded Sundown". This flick was served up by one of Forever Midnight's beloved Top Dawg Patrons over on Patreon. Thankfully they were forced to check it out which was just the push they needed! Jef, Josh and Brian had half expected another Scream rip-off, so they had somewhat avoided it  for years but were all curious about this requel and the real life murders that inspired the original in 1976. So prepare yourself to be transported to a land beyond time, a land of moonlight murders and trombones that have the taste for human blood!!  Join us over on Patreon at Patreon.com/forevermidnight for over 80 exclusive episodes!

In this episode Jef, Josh and Brian do the unthinkable, the unfathomable...they decided to watch another Dracula movie! Yes, you read that correctly and yes, right after just tackling Full Moon's Subspecies on their Patreon!!! This time around these brave podcasters dipped into the drug blood and finally watched Frank Langella's Dracula from 1979. The FM3 have long been curious about the fabled "Disco Dracula" only to learn the cold hard undead truth. So grab your garlic and find a nice comfy seat as Forever Midnight dig into what some say is maybe the most seductive, charming and sinister Count Dracula.   

In this episode, Jef, Josh and Brian are back at the movie theater to check out the newest installment of the 28 Days Later franchise with Danny Boyle's 28 Years Later. After seeing the stellar trailer they released for this film, The FM3 were super excited to grab some popcorn and see what the rage virus has been doing and stewing for the last 28 years? Turns out folks are still raging, and some are raging out in very big ways, an alternate title could be 28 Inches Later. Go see it today! 

It's that time of year again, June baby!! One of Forever Midnight's favorite friends and Top Dawg Patrons is having a Birthday this month and asked if instead of choosing a movie if he could have Jef, Josh and Brian chat about a couple of Tales From The Crypt episodes. The FM3 couldn't be happier than to jump back into the tight dank coffin with the Crypt Keeper himself and dust off some of these fun tales of terror! So if you listeners wanna play along at home the episodes discussed in this podcast are: Season 4 - Episode 6 = "What's Cookin?" & Season 2 - Episode 9 = "Four sided Triangle"! These episodes are available on Youtube for free and you should definitely watch them before you listen, unless you know them by heart like the one and only Sylar Bedoya, then Just sit back and enjoy!! Happy Birthday Sylar and thank you for the years and years of support and love! 

In this episode Jef, Josh and Brian head to the theater to check out the newest fright fest from the guys that made you shit your diaper with 2022’s "Talk To Me", The Philippou brothers! The FM3 all had very physical and emotional reactions to "Bring Her Back" and as the credits rolled they all realized how tense and rowdy that journey was but also recognized that these guys are truly pushing horror and making folks scared again. Which is cool and horrible at the same time!  Sit back and listen as the Forever Midnight crew try to recover from this brilliant and rough master work of horror.  

This week Jef decided enough was enough so he picked a good movie for a change of scenery. What "good" movie do you ask? One right in Jef's sweet spot, none other than 1990's "MISERY"!  Josh and Brian were caught off guard by this "good" movie pick thrown into the mix. They were not quite sure if they were bummed or excited to watch James Caan stink up a bed for 2 hours, but the one thing they did know is this would not be a difficult film to watch this week and talk about. Sure they may have had their reasons for the lackluster reception to Jef's pick, but they knew in their hearts this would be a nice break from the dog shit they usually watch...and LOVE. Plus they knew the listener's would probably hoist Jef upon their shoulders and hail him as their saviour....at least for this week. 

In this episode it is Brian's week to choose a movie and he decides to choose one that has been haunting him for some time, even though he has never seen it! Something caught his eye and sat in the back of his head until this week when he finally made Jef and Josh watch the 1981 zombie invasion film "Burial Ground: The Nights of Terror"! At first glance it seemed to be just another run of the mill Italian zombie flick with slow ass walking dead, cheap zombie makeups and a plot that is buried deeper than most of the zombies in the film, but the casting of a single man sets this movie apart from almost all other italian zombie movies. You gotta watch it! 

The FM3 have been dealing with being sick and injured this past week so they decided to unleash an episode recorded in 2021 from the Patreon Exclusive Episode Archive (There are over 80 episodes on our Patreon by the way..wink wink) The film in question is James Gunn's 2006 bump & lump fest "Slither"! This is a fun episode because the guys actually like this movie so it's jumps all over the place, touching and stroking all the space worms and topics. Plus there is a conversation at the very end of the episode that shows The Forever Midnight crew is truly touched with the gift of predicting the future, in this case the future of James Gunn's film projects. Enjoy! 

In this episode one of Forever Midnight 's Top Dawgs from Patreon picked a little unsung horror flick from 2001 called "Session 9".  This is one of those rare occasions when a film has a shoestring budget and a simple premise but is done well and you end up with a huge abandoned asylum filled with dread, perfect for getting creeped out while watching with headphones in the dark. THe FM3 were very excited to finally chat about this one and try to uncover what REALLY happened to the poor characters. For you loyal listeners this movie was even on Josh's Top 20 list of the Past 20 episode ! (#133 that was released on January 6th, 2020) Sit back and listen to the crew chip away at the toxic tiles of this spooky mind melter!  

In this episode the FM3 are so very happy to leave space in the rear view mirror and steer their escape pod toward something new and refreshing. Something thought provoking, something good! That something being the box office powerhouse "Sinners" by writer/director Ryan Coogler that has been breaking records left and right since it was released. It's been a minute since Jef, Josh and Brian have all equally loved and were excited to chat about a horror film and rightfully so. If you have not seen this gift of cinema yet, please go see it before Forever Midnight spoils it all for you! It is a genuine treat and the boys can't get enough! 

In this episode the heroic cosmonauts Jef, Josh and Brian saved their last intergalactic horror chat for what is probably the most well known franchise to make it to the stars, the one and only "Jason X"! The crew aboard the SS Forever Midnight have grown weary and fear their bones and brains have been affected by the long journey through space and time. Their teeth have gotten skinny and Brian is experiencing celestial walnut brain syndrome. It is time to get back to earth 1, time to reintegrate back into human society.  Soaring in the heavens this past month was a great idea on paper, but the cost physically and mentally for the crew was astro-nomical!
