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

What better way to celebrate our seventh year of podcast excellence than to discuss David Fincher’s feel-good hit of 1995, SE7EN!! I can’t think of one, and it’s not for a lack of trying. Along the way, we explore the film’s ties to grime-core classics like SAW, consider stacking hot babies, debate if John Doe will get his security deposit money back, weigh just how bad of a cop Mills is, and wax rhapsodic at just how good David Fincher really is at making movies!! All this, plus we play a filthy and difficult edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure, and we yearn for the days when R. Lee Ermey would just yell at us for 45 minutes straight!! If there's an eighth deadly sin, it's missing this special anniversary... special. I've been writing these for nearly three-quarters of a decade now; they can't all be gold.

This episode of the Kill By Kill podcast is brought to you by the heart-pounding action thriller THE BLACK DEMON, starring Josh Lucas - now streaming on Redbox On Demand! An idyllic family vacation turns into a fight for survival when they encounter a ferocious megalodon shark that will stop at nothing to protect its territory. Stream THE BLACK DEMON instantly on Redbox today for the ultimate battle between humans and nature. Rated R. From Paramount Pictures.

Life is full of ups and downs… and so is Death when we break down FINAL DESTINATION 3 this week with Dennis Satterfield and Scot Burkin of the Inside The Idiot Box podcast!! Along the way, we talk about the enigma that is Franklin C. Cheeks, Esq, we explore the film’s obsession with seeing women’s underwear, mourn the loss of perfectly good textbooks, celebrate Polanski and Clark - the Beat Cop Investigation Unit, consider Joey Ramone’s place as a harbinger of death, and we face what we believe is the super-gross key image of the film!! All this, plus a fateful Choose Your Own Deathventure, and finally, we stage an intervention for website squatting!! Strap in cause this one is a wild ride!

Check out Dennis & Scot's very funny podcast, INSIDE THE IDIOT BOX, wherever you get your podcasts!!

That’s right - we’re back in the Creepshow business! Only this time, we’re talking about the best story of the bunch as we float along with The Raft from CREEPSHOW 2!! Along the way, we try to stay afloat of the film’s many production problems, track the oil blob’s burps and farts, pick apart the differences between Stephen King’s original short story and movie, waterproof joint transportation, blob consent, bad swimmers, human blood balloons, skeleton hugs, and a brief but gooey Choose Your Own Deathventure!! Come down to the lake with us and stay for a while, won't you?

It’s April Fool’s Day in June… until 12 pm? Listen, the 1986 Euro-slasher SLAUGHTER HIGH has a lot of rules, and it likes to switch ‘em up as it goes, but Kill By Kill is up to the test. Along the way, we openly regret our Stockard Channing slander, struggle to remember which character is who, enjoy a solid skeleton scream, sleep it off in a brown velvet spaceship bed, celebrate an automotive #GetBunked, and take a real hot high school bath!! All this, plus an AP course-level edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure, and we declare one cast member a “Secret Mario!” It’s a reunion to dismember - so join us, won’t you?

This episode of the Kill By Kill podcast is brought to you in part by the new Quiver Distribution film, THE WRATH OF BECKY! That’s right - two years after escaping a savage attack on her family, Becky is attempting to rebuild her life. But when a brutish group called the Noble Men breaks into her new home and snatches her beloved dog Diego, she returns to her old ways to protect herself and get revenge. The Austin Chronicle declares it’s “Literally a bloody good time!” The Wrath of Becky, starring Lulu Wilson and Seann William Scott is available to stream now wherever you buy/rent movies!!

Terrifying things come in small packages! Welcome one and all to our new off-week format, where we make a meal out of one story from a horror anthology - we call it Kill By Kill: Bite Size! This week, we bring home the standout segment from 1972’s TRILOGY OF TERROR entitled Amelia - but you know it better for its antagonist, the Zuni Fetish Doll!! Along the way, we talk about creating distance between yourself and a clingy Mom, Richard Matheson: Man of Many Ideas, explore all the insane wallpaper choices, consider Karen Black’s subtle acting choices, test market depression figurines, connect the dots between this segment and other 70s and 80s horror classics, and delve into the activities of this apartment’s many mice!!

Are you ready to fight the horror of robots programmed to kill? Well, how about robots who can shoot guns but don’t possess a trigger finger? 1983's RUNAWAY is an acid-filled mechanical nightmare, and here to help us crack the code is writer (Bubble, Pop's Chock-lit Shoppe of Horrors) and beloved podcast host (Jordan Jessie GO) Jordan Morris!! Along the way, we attempt to decipher the film’s Store Brand location, comb through all the voluminous hair choices, compare toilet shenanigans, wag our tongues over Gene Simmons, introduce psychics into the robot war, and debate how heat-seeking bullets can be defeated with a candle! All this, plus we play a predictably robotic edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure and examine the explosive nature of bullet-surgery sex scenes!! It’s more fun than a mustache ride this week on Kill By Kill!!

All this, plus we claw our way into a game of Choose Your Own Deathventure, and we expose the seedy underbelly of  Smurf society!! You’re on notice, Papa!!
