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

Xeno Has Risen!! That’s right - we’re wrapping up our coverage of the original Alien Quadrilogy (not a real word) with 1997’s exceedingly French and deeply horny fourquel: ALIEN RESURRECTION!! We dig into everything: the sexy basketball with Ripley 8, the meta-xenomorphs, introducing nips, Brad Dourif’s many “smootchy” faces, a plea for Winona Ryder, genitalia erasure, and that amazing Clone room scene!! All this, plus we hurdle towards Earth during Choose Your Own Deathventure, and we finally have a #GetBunked in the Alien Universe!!

Save the toe tag - Kill By Kill Bite Size is not dead yet! That’s right, we’re putting Tobe Hooper’s segment  from 1993’s BODY BAGS on the slab and weighing all the contents!! Was Showtime wrong for denying the world a John Carpenter-hosted horror anthology? Just how much of Mark Hamill’s hinder do we get to see in action? And is that tush okaily-dokilly? Exactly what accent is Twiggy using here, and why did no one stop her? How much responsibility for the car crash lies at the feet of the Traveling Wilburys? How far would you dig into your backyard before you expect to hit human feet? Would you dress Twiggy in fashionable sacks? How would Alfred Hitchcock pronounce the word “content?” All this, plus an ocular-forward edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure, and we get a visit from one of our favorite horror movie trends: research via microfiche!! We unzip a fun one for you this week on Kill By Kill!!

It’s the movie that taught the world not to trust a big butt, a Frankenstein mask, and a smile that unhinges at the jaw - it’s the monster mash-up slasher, THE FUNHOUSE!! And here to help us survive the night is screenwriter (Black Christmas 2019) and Returning Champion April Wolfe!! Along the way, we talk about messed up Monster Kids, explore serving sizes of bourbon for parents in town, identify all the important Carnival People You Need To Know, debate proper date etiquette at a Girlie Show, and sound the alarm against stealing cash from a carnie!! All this, plus a freaky Choose Your Own Deathventure, and we praise the work of a true Master of Horror, the one, the only Tobe Hooper!! Push down your lap bar, people - this is one wild ride!!

If you’ve got Pac-Man fever, then you should see a medical professional, as we’re playing through 1983’s NIGHTMARES segment “The Bishop of Battle!” We take no quarters as we talk emotional boob reveals, Emilio Estevez’s package delivery system, Playboy Channel reception techniques, critique the fashion choices of Moon Unit Zappa, explore the viability of Burgertime’s business model, and consider the truly poor gameplay of The Bishop. All this, plus an 8-bit version of Choose Your Own Deathventure, and we introduce the world to our favorite new insult*!! Who ends up with the top score? Find out today!!

[*insult is hyper-specific to Pamela]

As we speed towards the end of Season 4, there’s one stop we’ve been dreading this whole time: 2009’s THE FINAL DESTINATION. Designated by both critics and fans as the franchise’s absolute nadir, the fourth film in the franchise was filmed in 3D while the characters barely qualify as two-dimensional - and we’re here to break down every splattered torso, pierced organ, and severed, floppy limb on display!! Along the way, we talk about visiting the Pipe Mall of America, debate the wisdom of naming characters “Milf” and “Racist,” discover that Craig R. Ellis is one of the most covered horror directors on the show, and grant Favorite Character status to an unlikely water-gun sporting child!! All this, plus a “deathtacular” edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure, and we explore why all the CGI is full of skeletons, but no one’s body seems to contain any bones!! We’re bidding Final Destination a fond farewell - until the surprise continuation - on Kill By Kill!!

It’s Christmas in July, baby!! That’s right, when it comes to individual segments of a horror anthology, 1972’s TALES FROM THE CRYPT is the gift that keeps on giving! It’s the ultimate battle between bad planning and a “deranged manic!” Along the way, we unwrap all our big questions: Who the hell is going HAM on that organ? Who takes a cemetery tour when they’re in a hurry? What’s up with the Rastafarian Egg? Is the home decor of this house meant to drive us insane? Who commits a murder like this while wearing such an impractical belt? All this, plus we pull a Choose Your Own Deathventure out of our stockings, and we ask if we can improve a movie with Wolfens! This week, we’ve got tales to tell on Kill By Kill Bite Size!!

With the unfortunate passing of Julian Sands, we wanted to honor this incredible and magnetic actor by releasing a special Patreon episode where we covered 1989's WARLOCK with the film's #1 fan and Returning Champion Megan Sunday (Let’s Get Weirding podcast)! Along the way, we dig into the film's hostile attitude toward cats, stay on the lookout for a Steve Miner Butt Shot, learn to use a purse like a Dutch Oven, and generally lust after the hotness that is Julian Sands!! All this, plus we examine the Warlock's complicated relationship to windows, Megan opens up about the kinds of smut she enjoys reading, and Patrick finally explains what the Santa Ana winds are to Gena!! We've conjured a good one out of the Patreon vault for you today!!

This week on Kill By Kill Bite Size, we hail to the King, baby! Stephen King that is - as we steal away inside 1985’s CAT’S EYE to steal the breath away from the classic cat v. Troll epic, “General.” Along the way, we delve into Candy Clark’s unique mom-core fits, explore standard troll operating procedures, consider which serial killers can climb stairs, track children’s bedrooms with fireplaces, revisit skeleton hugs, and Patrick complains about the Boy Scout Jamboree again. All this, plus we delve into the unlikely connections between Stephen King’s General, Sleepwalkers, and Doctor Sleep, and Dino DeLaurentis stops by the show to describe what Moms are like in the mid-80s!! Let this funny and charming episode steal your breath away today!!

Welcome to Primetime... again! Kill By Kill’s journey into the dark heart of A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET (1984) restarts here with the help of the one and only Halle Kiefer (of Ruined! with Allison & Halle) to help us claw our way through the first 30 minutes! Along the way, we discuss flooded boiler rooms, delve into how much of Freddy is actually made of goo, debate whether or not Freddy wears sweatpants, and ponder why America has a near-endless love for cartoon cats. All this, plus we play a game of Choose Your Own WOUNDventure, wonder what happened to all the iron lungs, and meet our first few "Terrible Parents of Elm Street!!" If you hoped we would talk about Freddy Krueger again - your dream just came true!!

NOTE: This is a replacement for our original ANOES vol. 1 - only it's funnier and has a much cooler guest. ENJOY!

Listen to Ruined! with Allison & Halle here or anywhere you get podcasts!!

Remember when we went gaga over Mary Lou? Or maybe a little tyke named Mikey? Well, get ready for us to become the internet’s biggest fans of the most incomprehensible horror anthology ever - 1985’s NIGHT TRAIN TO TERROR - and “The Case of Claire Hansen!!” Strap in as we try to make sense out of the truly senseless!! Witness breakdancing train angels!! An extended riff on Paula Abdul and MC Skat Kat’s undeniable sexual attraction!!Marvel at Richard Moll’s unearthly hairpiece!! Loose what’s left of your mind when you see a stop-motion Spider-man pile drive a mad monk into hell!! Does this sound bonkers?! You don’t know the half of it!! All this, plus a maddening Choose Your Own Deathventure, and we meet a whole new Son of Satan who’s evil enough to hang with the Third Reich but willing to scare a woman to death by nearly taking off his sock!! No, I’m not lying about that last part. You have to see this “motion picture” to believe it!!
