Photo Flo: Terror In The Smiles

Eric and Jake revisit a favorite slasher directed by Amy Holden Jones. They make the case for Slumber Party Massacre getting the respect of other classics in the subgenre. ***this week and next week’s episode contain some artifacts in the audio track that were present on the original recording. We apologize and have corrected the issue going forward, we appreciate you listening to Photo-Flo!

In 1984, Wes Craven changed the Horror genre forever, giving us an iconic monster named Freddy Krueger. A demonic child killer that made audiences afraid to go to sleep. A Nightmare On Elm Street launched careers, a franchise, and a film studio. Jake and Eric discuss Elm Street and what its legacy has meant to them over the years.

Eric and Jake take a trip to Morningside Mortuary and come face to face with The Tall Man in Don Coscarelli’s Phantasm. This was Eric’s first time watching the cult classic! Originally recorded the day after Thanksgiving 2022.

Alfred Hitchcock’s PSYCHO (1960) / Stuart Gordon’s RE-ANIMATOR (1985) - This week’s double feature discussion begins with a proto-slasher masterpiece and ends with a transgressive undead classic, which Eric has watched for the first time! The only things both movies have in common are psychopaths and music.

Eric and Jake give their lists of essential slashics! Thank you for listening. Tune in on June 16th for our double feature discussion of Phantasm and A Nightmare On Elm Street!

DC vs Marvel! Swamp monsters vs vampires! Welcome to Photo-Flo!!! We’re back! We’ll be discussing two pioneering comic book movies that did it before it was cool. Wes Craven’s Swamp Thing and Stephen Norrington’s Blade!

We don’t want to be buried in a Pet Sematary, but we don’t mind a visit now and again. Tonight Eric and Jake discuss the 1989 adaptation directed by Mary Lambert from a screenplay by Stephen King. We follow that up with Alfred Hitchcock’s follow-up to Psycho, the 1963 shocker, The Birds.

We had a triple feature Halloween Special planned, but life and technology got in the way, causing a severe audio hiccup. We lost our host Eric Jones’ side of the conversation. However you still get to hear Jake and special guest Heather Almond discuss the immortal classic, Halloween (1978). We hope you enjoy!

Join Jake and Heather Almond for a special bonus episode of Photo-Flo. A discussion of the David Gordon Green Halloween films, including the final film in the trilogy (franchise ?) Halloween Ends.

"Small towns have long memories and pass their horrors down ceremonially from generation to generation..." -Stephen King Join us on a visit to Salem's Lot, Maine for a two-part miniseries from 1979 directed by Tobe Hooper (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Funhouse, Poltergeist). Then take a trip with us to Antonio Bay, California and see The Fog (1980) a ghost story told by masters of Horror John Carpenter and Debra Hill. 

Even a man who is pure in heart and says his prayers by night, may become a wolf when the moon is full and bright… Join Eric and Jake for a double feature of werewolves and vampires. In Silver Bullet (1985) Corey Haim, Anne Of Green Gables (Megan Follows), and Mr. Joshua (Gary Busey) have to stop a werewolf from murdering their town. After that Corey Haim takes a trip to Santa Carla, California and meets an unusual cast of monster mashers (including Jason Voorhees slayer, Corey Feldman) to face off against Kiefer Sutherland and the coolest vampire gang ever, in Joel Schumacher’s The Lost Boys (1987)

Eric briefly talks about Breakdown, the seventh episode of the first season of Alfred Hitchcock Presents.

Join us this week for a double feature of familial horror. First, an early Hitchcock masterpiece (Shadow Of A Doubt) followed by an 80’s cult classic, The Stepfather.

In the second Photo-Flo TV, Eric talks about his favorite episode of the original Twilight Zone series.

Join us for a night at the grindhouse. A double feature of b-movies that Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino handpicked for lovers of sleaze, blood, fast cars, fast women, zombies, and Michael Biehn.

“Cause I'm the high plains drifter the best that you can get, a strapped shoplifter, a pirate on cassette! Bust a Travis Bickle when I feel that I'm getting pushed, don't step to me 'cause you could be gettin' mushed!” Join Eric and Jake for a genre hop. We watched a double feature of supernatural Westerns. High Plains Drifter (1973) is Clint Eastwood’s first Western in the director’s chair. He’s lean and mean as he’s ever been, turning a town into hell on earth, and its citizens against each other as an avenging ghost with no name. Pale Rider (1985) is a quasi remake with a kinder heart, some throwbacks to a pre-revisionist era of the genre, a stronger script, and a hell of a payoff.
