Minisode 181: Final Flesh (2009)

Kellie from the Final Girls returns to tackle the wildest punishment film to date with Brian and Steve. Is it an existential look at the impact of nuclear fear on the nuclear family? Is it a meta exploration of the nature of exploitation in the fetish industry? Is it a summoning circle drawing Tommy Wisseau, Neil Breen, Seymour Butts, John Waters and David Lynch into a Captain Planet like cinema experience? Or is it a post-modern retelling of The Aristocrats? Only way to find out is to tune in?

Minisode 179: Into the Dark - Pilgrim (2019)

Once again it's time to be thankful for podcasts who do holiday programming. Whether you need something on your travels or to shut out your family as they espouse the benefits of colloidal silver, Brian and Steve got you covered. They travel all the way back to 2019 for the anthology film about the true meaning of Thanksgiving. What would you do if your loser family made you spend the yummiest day with boring pilgrims instead of getting too drunk and watching Mystery Science Theater Turkey Day?  Find Us Online- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/halloweenisforever/ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/halloweenisforever Twitter: https://twitter.com/HallowForever Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@halloweenisforeverpod Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HalloweenIsForeverPod E-Mail: Halloweenisforeverpod@gmail.com

Minisode 178: Deathstalker (2025)

The filmmaker most in tune with Brian and Steve's sensibilities, Steven Kostanski, has a new film. This time he's remade a sword and sorcery from the 80s, Deathstalker. And while the film is an homage to those films, it's also tribute to all the others like Conan, Masters of the Universe, The Beastmaster, and even Ray Harryhausen films. All retold through the lens of 90s kid who loved the Power Rangers. Plus host Steve poorly remembers a music cue from the Mortal Kombat movie as a from a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie.   Find Us Online- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/halloweenisforever/ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/halloweenisforever Twitter: https://twitter.com/HallowForever Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@halloweenisforeverpod Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HalloweenIsForeverPod E-Mail: Halloweenisforeverpod@gmail.com

Minisode 175: Blades (1988)

No it's not the sequel to the 1998 hit Blade where they add another Wesley Snipes; it's the golf course lawnmower parody of Jaws. Brought into homes by Troma, of course, and inflicted upon this show by Bigfoot Ben. Brian and Steve suffer through this no-Pro, only Am joke that should've been a 3 minute fake trailer instead of full length film over 90 minutes. Plus our November Showdown topic announced!

Minisode 173: The Draft! (2023)

The final days before we dive full force into the reason for the season, Brian and Steve are watching a new to ScreamBox Indonesian horror. It's called The Draft! aka Setan Alas! And it's not what you think. Our review is full spoilers, but also adds context to some of the things lost culturally. It's both a movie that deserves to be seen completely cold, but also can be enhanced by context, so listener beware.  Plus our finalized preparation for the 2025 Wheel O'Ween Find Us Online- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/halloweenisforever/ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/halloweenisforever Twitter: https://twitter.com/HallowForever Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@halloweenisforeverpod Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HalloweenIsForeverPod E-Mail: Halloweenisforeverpod@gmail.com

Minisode 170: R.O.T.O.R. (1987)

What if The Terminator and Robocop were mostly stern phone calls? What if the main android of those films was your stepdad after a couple beers at your little league game? Boy those movies would suck. Thankfully, R.O.T.O.R. was stupid so the other films didn't have to be. Depressed robots, American Gladiators, pre-Buc-ee's craze Texas, and nary a line of original dialogue. It's all here in this month's punishment episode.
