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

Do you know that moment when everything that could go wrong does go wrong? Well, that encapsulates this episode of Kill By Kill as we talk to Gavin and Louie of The Mixed Reviews podcast about 1992’s ALIEN3. First, Gena’s audio is scuttled by a loose facehugger, and then the catastrophes extend to the insanely complicated production history of the film; we explore the dueling themes of a film made out of two different scripts; and finally, there’s a puppy in the recording studio… and then a xenomorph bursts out of him!! All this, plus a very chomp-heavy edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure, and we explain what my 12-year-old son has in common with top-tier evil galactic corporation Wayland-Yutani! It’s the episode of Kill By Kill, where all your worst fears have come true!!

When a police detective is shot in the face and given a talking car as a partner to fight crime, the first case you think they should tackle is “Rear Window but with a dude in a gorilla suit.” That’s right - we’re talking KNIGHT RIDER on TV Terrors this week. Specifically, in the Halloween Knight episode, the main goal of the producers appears to be making Alfred Hitchcock do multiple 720s inside his coffin. KITT’s mechanic moves into a swinging singles complex and instantly ends up inside a cold medicine-induced mystery that includes bitchy comments from cars, fondue orgy invites, random Silver Shamrock masks, murder by a potted plant, a dash of causal racism from The Hoff, the introduction of Gena’s son, Ghoulie Radcliffe, and a visit to the Psycho house that introduces the idea that it has a detached garage! All this, plus we attempt to decode how one woman’s juicy hinder possesses the power to kill. Punch that turbo boost button with us today, people!!

We were warned. We are doomed. That's right, there's only one Friday the 13th all year, so you know we had to do something to commemorate it! That's why we're jailbreaking a Patreon exclusive commentary of the original FRIDAY THE 13th, so you can watch along with it and celebrate the many, many silly deaths on display! We get right back into the action with folk songs that make us hot, talk Red Harring Cafe customers, wonder why Crazy Ralph got so crazy, debate why Alice would ever sleep with Steve Christy, marvel over Kevin Bacon's premiere hinder, and go blow-for-blow on the worst hand-to-hand fight in Voorhees history! Cue up your copy and watch along with us, won't you?

Never fear - new episodes of Kill By Kill are made available every other Friday!

Walk the lonely road with us as we tear shirts, bell-bottom pants, and THE INCREDIBLE HULK on this episode of TV Terrors!! Is the tuba the saddest instrument for your personal theme music? Why do you need a stock room filled with pirate’s rum barrels?  If you were going to impersonate Bigfoot, would you add clothes to the costume? Is that one lady going to eat her dog? Why does the Hulk sound like a Tesla backing up when transforming? Go green with us as we ask these questions and so many more!!

To celebrate our Patreon crossing the century mark, we're unlocking one of our favorite episodes from that feed this year, the Listener Request of 1988's BLACK ROSES!! It's Satanic Panic, but neither Canada nor Satan seems to have a very concrete plan as to how to take over the world. This devil-may-care attitude leads to some underwhelming public defacement, some uncomfortable teacher seductions, speaker goblin attacks, wet boy toys, and so, so much more!

For God’s Sake, Get Out of your holiday rut and into Amityville For Christmas!! It’s a brand new tradition here at Kill By Kill, where we head home for the holidays, only it’s a home with a demon pit in the basement and flying pigs in the kid’s windows! This year, we’re completing the “Orig Trig” by opening our doors to THE AMITYVILLE HORROR (1979), talking malicious money pits, over-the-top performances, ineffectual Catholics, variable strength hauntings, cool kitchen breezes, and sleeping in murder beds!! The yuletide of blood-soaked walls and total BS stories begin here as we get horny on main for James Brolin and Margot Kidder, get our wig blown back by Rod Steiger, and plan our retirement in the Ye Ol Priests Village!! Unwrap the next great yearly tradition with us today!!

NOTE: We will skip next week and return with an all-new episode in 2023! We wish you all a Happy Holidays and a bright New Year!!

We’re changing TGIF to Thank God It’s Urkel!! That’s right,  we’re returning to the TV Terrors well for a second week and with a major guest: Director of Scare Me and Werewolves Within and the star of A Wounded Fawn, out now on Shudder, the one the only Josh Ruben! And what better use of his time than to watch and talk about an 8th-season episode of Family Matters entitled STEVIL? Along the way, we discuss the horror of ventriloquist dummies, bored deities, tailoring puppet clothing, the stage version of Lethal Weapon, secret bongs, and the etiquette of living with your stalker! All this, plus we measure a character’s strength on a scale from John Cena to Hulk With No Bulk, and play a sitcom-friendly version of Choose Your Own Deathventure!! Don’t touch that dial, people!!

A Wounded Fawn is available to rent/buy here - and is available on Shudder right now! Also, make sure to check our Josh Ruben incredible werewolf horror-comedy, Werewolves Within!!

Tune in and drop dead! That’s right, we’re flipping the channel on our off-week shows and programming a block of the weirdest TV TERRORS we can find. This week, run in slow motion with us as an attempt to rescue the Baywatch Nights episode “Space Spore!” This was season 2 of Baywatch Nights when they switched from a sexy detective show to a not-too-sexy X-Files rip-off. Along the way, we talk about Lou Rawls again, evaluate paranormal midriffs, consider the very valid science of decapitated rat paw collections, debate improv-based detective work, and one of the worst line readings ever recorded. All this plus Day-Glo juice burps, revelatory phone calls, and the single worst escape attempt of all time! Your nights will never be the same after this episode!!

Smile and the whole world screams with you! That’s right, we’re showing teeth and talking about the biggest horror hit of the fall, SMILE!! Along the way, we dig into how the film both explores and exploits mental health, why this just might be the most J-Horror film not filmed in Japan, and the relief you feel when you give up on something stupid and come clean about how the film triggered our own struggles. All this, plus a grizzly Choose Your Own Deathventure, and we wonder why the past crop of horror flicks brought audiences back to theaters! Grin and bear it with us today, won’t you?

CW: This episode, as does the movie, delves into the subject of both mental health and suicide.

Never fear - new episodes of Kill By Kill are made available every other Friday! Dish By Dish: A Hannibal Rewatch on the Fridays in-between.
