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

Welcome to the movie that created a “turducken” out of a cat and forced a once-thriving horror podcast to its knees. That’s right, we’re digging into schlockmeister Greyson Clark’s 1988 flopsterpiece,  UNINVITED!! Our guest on this pleasure cruise without the pleasure describes this film as “84 minutes of bliss,” Oli Hamilton. Why, you may ask, did I expose my only child to this film? It’s because I love him so much. Along the way, we experiment with mutant cat physiology, explore bikini adornments, meet the Kuato doctors, turn on the bubbly death, and try to get a handle on Clu Gulagar’s borrowed teeth! All this, plus ponder the meaning of “1000x normal” blood, consider if this movie inspired one of It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia’s most notorious bits, and we lament that the film has precisely zero cat scares! Plus a bloodtastic edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure! Come aboard the last - and least - movie of Animal Attack April with us today!!

Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the water, we roast every minor character on Amity Island. That’s right, we’re celebrating the 50th anniversary of JAWS in the most fitting Kill By Kill way possible: hyper focusing on the least important people in the story! Here to help us take Polly, Mrs. Taft, and the groovy dentist guy down a peg is Returning Champion, Megan Sunday!! Along the way, we talk height disparities, karate rampages, super old parents, mob wives, rubber hats, drunken escapades, and yes, an extended inspection of the icon himself, Amity Harbor Harbor Master Frank Silva!! All this, plus Quint’s funeral, medical examiner improv, actress-wife problems, and a Choose Your Own Character-venture for all time!! It’s the granddaddy of Animal Attack April movies - don’t miss out!! We're sorry, Steven Spielberg.

Gather ‘round - the feast of all feasts is about to begin! That’s right, Animal Attack April 2025 looms even larger than usual when “Mr. Big” aka Bert I. Gordon is at the helm and we’re gorging on his 1976 eco-horror cult classic, THE FOOD OF THE GODS with the immeasurable help of actor, comedian, and manager of the Video Garage Matt McCarthy!! Along the way, we earn the “based on a portion of HG Wells” discount, perform deep lore study for Dead Right Horror Trivia, hit up Marjoe Gortner's complicated backstory, Discover Ida Lupino’s unique exit strategy, and we start the “Give John Carpenter a F*cking Oscar Already!” campaign. All this, plus giant cock attacks, the return of Twizzler juice, weird celeb encounters, undercover Coneheads, jars of pickled Cream of Wheat, strange turn-ons, “the Football Way” of survival, and an enormous edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure!! It's a buffet of baffling cinematic decisions on this week's Kill By Kill!!

It should have been so simple. In fact, the hook is just two words: space vampires. That’s it! And yet what resulted is a roiling boil of Dracula tropes, sweaty performances, extended nudity, and some of the best shriveled puppets you’ll ever see! That’s right, we’re zapping the energy out of 1985’s LIFEFORCE with the help of actor and stand-up, Matthew Broussard (watch his new comedy special, Hyperbolic here!!). Along the way, we learn all Tobe Hooper’s magic touch, how the producers of Cannon Films nearly tore the film apart, why Steve Railsback is playing so many different Bram Stoker roles in one movie, and Matthew schools us on physics!! All this, plus fallopian flashbacks, biscuit bribes, physician prescribed swords, helicopter blood conferences, male ass technology, Patrick Stewart bald pate worship, and a cosmically insane edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure!! Blast off with a very new episode of Kill By Kill with us today, won’t you?

After nearly nine years of Kill By Kill, we sometimes ask ourselves why we still do it. The fame? The fortune? Perhaps it’s to find those beautiful, forgotten slasher gems of the 1980s? After this episode, the answer to all three questions is, “Not this week!” That’s right, we’re scraping the bottom of the low budget horror barrel as we take an extended peek at 1988’s HIDE AND GO SHRIEK with the help of two Returning Champions, from Inside the Idiot Box podcast, it’s Dennis Satterfield and Scot Burklin!! Sure, this movie isn’t that great, but it’s filled with elements we needed to discuss at length: illogical mannequins, perplexing bedroom decor, mystifying haircut reveals, sex in public sheets, and the most egregious electric wok cooking-utensil use ever caught on film!! All this, plus fedora creeps, one Frankenstein General Hospital, wigwam socks, a weeping George Lucas, Penguin Lust, jorts-based burlesque, a collection of the most baffling acting performances we’ve seen in a while, and of course, we shop for our demise during Choose Your Own Deathventure!! CW: The film sadly dips into a weird homophobic reveal at the end that we did not enjoy. Despite that, this conversation is hilarious and far more thoughtful than this cheap, tawdry, slasher flick that we rip to threads for nearly two hours. Please to enjoy!!

In this town, there’s only so many things to do: find a quiet place to park, get lucky, then deliver that special someone a slideshow about how now they’ve got a death curse. That’s right, love is in the air and a murderous demon entity is on our trail as we explore IT FOLLOWS for its 10th anniversary!! Along the way, we dig into the fabulous grab bag of horror and cultural influences that are woven into fabric of the film, explore the post-collapse aesthetic of Detroit, wonder why all these parents are so disconnected from the world their kids occupy, and debate the mainstream idea that the movie is a “casual sex is bad” horror. All this, plus high heel pursuits, awkward friend dynamics, Ju-On jokes, Plan Boo, Ozploitation references, and a limb-snapping edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure!! So accept a date with danger - and us - today!!

Hear ye, hear ye - the trial of Beelzebub v. Movie Audiences is about to begin!! That’s right, we’re building a case for and against pre-Y2K mania as we talk about 1997’s demonically daffy legal thriller, THE DEVIL’S ADVOCATE!! Here to help and add his expert testimony is entertainment lawyer extraordinaire, Joshua Lastine!! You’ll hear arguments including suspect accent work, “Ghostbusting” half-demons, the Devil’s desk-bed, haunting box perms, and our favorite new character (portrayed by one of our least favorite human beings) Eddie BarZOOOOM!! All this, plus artisanal death basements, Donald Trump’s apartment cameo, satanic clout chasing, Keanu Reeves thirst, over-complicating the antichrist, and a court-mandated edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure!! Bang the gavel, people - cause here comes the Judge…ment. 

NOTE: We apologize in advance for some rough audio this week. A technical difficulty during recording led to some intense rescue efforts. What’s presented here is the best that man and machine could recreate.

We’ve been training for nearly nine years for a Deathventure like this!! That’s right, we’re back in cinemas for horror’s most recent theatrical hit: Osgood Perkins’ THE MONKEY!! It’s an explosive episode filled with bloody good deaths, unusual Stephen King bullies, a Friday the 13th flashback, and the most important question of all… how exactly does Count Orlock bowl? All this, plus terrifying Teppanyaki tales, story-to-screen comparisons, character-based muttonchops, visible nip cameos, Tatiana Maslany worship, the very first #GetBunked of 2025, and our biggest game of Choose Your Own Deathventure in recent memory!! It's a film that lives up to the classic Stephen King horror org chart of either terrify, or horrify - and if you can’t do that, go for the gross out!! Find out For Whom The Monkey Cranks today!!

It’s said that you can’t go home again. But you shouldn’t just move to London and make the same movie but infinitely worse. And folks, that’s where we found ourselves discussing the sequel no one wanted but was contractually obligated to happen - BASIC INSTINCT 2: RISK ADDICTION. Thank goodness social media impresario and Returning Champion to Kill By Kill, Wynter Mitchell, is here to help us process our anger, grief, and utter confusion!! We have many questions, like does that one guy drown because his earrings are too big? Does Cathrine Trammel have superpowers? How does Dr. Woodblock learn to love murder so quickly? Who is going to Hot Topic to buy all these emo-rock belts? Can you drive stick on the left side of the street AND get fingered? The answers, if we find any, will surprise you! All this plus deprived monocle dropping, Indiana Trammel, Hot Tub Talk Shows, and an overqualified edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure!! Grab an ice pick, and let’s stab this franchise to death together!

Love is exciting and new - especially since it’s been programmed that way. That’s right, February is Kill By Kill After Dark time and we’re over the moon about the recently released COMPANION!! And we’re laying all out there after our spoiler-free section, getting under the surface of this hybrid horror-thriller! We’re talking Jack Quaid’s inherited gifts, Sophie Thatcher's quick-twitch muscles, the sweet (and soured) relationship dynamics, the plague of NPC culture, and hate on “Copyright Horror” a little. All this, plus we consider how a green future includes envy, take on the “horror isn’t political” bullsh*t we were forced to endure last week, embrace the award show love for The Substance, and program a killer edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure!! Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone! We made this episode especially for you!!
