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

Oh, how the tables have turned! After the “barely erotic” “not a thriller” A Night in Heaven, Patrick plucks out a film just as inessential: 1992’s TRACES OF RED starring James “sex machine” Belushi, Lorraine Bracco’s Melanie Griffith impression, and Florida plays itself. Along the way, we explore how the film mistreats its characters and the audience, the trouble with seducing Tony Goldwyn, forced Crazy Ralph peeping, and we play a simple game of: make love to the car from TITANE or Jim/James Belushi!! Plus, Gena reveals a forbidden secret about “the ladies” and Patrick begins a scheduling sesh! Hear how the sausage is made on this week’s Kill By Kill: After Dark!!

If you’re looking for more FINAL DESTINATION talk, we’ve got just the ticket! That’s right, we’re flying high for vol. 2 of Death’s Design, and here to help us break it all down is Dread Central writer and pod co-host of Nightmare on Fierce Street and Bleary Massacre, Sharai Bohannon!! Along the way, we discuss crazy mom strength, decide our Final Destination meals, make the case against Ali Larter, light various trails of vodka in the kitchen, and of course, caramelize blood. All this, plus a fateful edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure, and we wonder aloud what connects And Just Like That… to Final Destination. Carrie Bradshaw, if you know the answer, please call into this podcast episode - we’d LOVE to chat!

Due to circumstances beyond our control, this week’s episode is calling in for emergency help. And there’s no one better equipped than two Highway Patrol officers advising trick-or-treaters in the valley. That’s right, we’re dipping into the Patreon vault to expose you to CHiPs! Even better, it’s a lackluster last season episode featuring Ralph Mouth slathered in KISS make-up, Elvira forced to wear a modesty panel, devil-possessed car radios, summoning demons via backward playing records, loose corn cobs, bird hauntings… and a character named Hot Dog. We’re not joking. We wish we were.

Death refuses to take a holiday as we depart for our second franchise of season 4, 1999’s FINAL DESTINATION! Onboard for this episode is actor Galen Howard (Brooklyn Nine-Nine, The Book of Boba Fett)!! Put your tray tables up as we dig into the movie’s dynamic slasher mythos expansion, shudder in fear at the ghost of Rube Goldberg, debate traveling overseas in jorts, wonder who is reading Penthouse for the articles, and have a real conversation with Mike Flanagan that he will never hear. All that and we punch our ticket for Choose Your Own Deathventure, plus we explore the deep connection between this film and Friday the 13th Part 3. Buckle up, people!!

Rockets rise, and rockets fall as we explode over 1983's A NIGHT IN HEAVEN - a romantic drama that's neither romantic nor a drama... discuss! We try to figure out exactly what this film is attempting to do while also delving into subjects like erotic recumbent biking, John G. Avildsen's obsession with filming every entrance and exit, Leslie Ann Warren going cross-eyed, worship at the altar of Wendy Jo Sperber, wonder why anyone would strip to Dolly's 9-to-5, and discuss the worst husband character yet! All this, plus we play Choose Your Own Stripping Hype-Man and delve into the sexual depravity in Orlando.

This episode of Kill By Kill is brought to you by the underwater horror film THE DEEP HOUSE - now available on Digital and On-Demand!

Thank Ripley it’s Friday. We’re launching into Season 4 by talking about one of the greatest sci-fi horror films of all time, ALIEN!! And here to help her get from face-hugger to xenomorph is actor and comedian extraordinaire Mitch Silpa! Along the way, we talk about alien virgins, open up about the Bad Milk Blood Robot, grocery PTSD, and the exceptional amount of “angry dad” energy on the Nostromo. All this, plus the first Choose Your Own Deathventure of the season, and debate whether Ripley’s panties fall under the definition of “procedural underwear.” It’s a chest-burster of fun coming your way on Kill By Kill!!

It’s time to say “Goodbye, Sidney” and end Season 3 on a high note as we discuss the new release SCREAM (2022)! Along the way, we talk Dewey catharsis, the power of Gale Weathers, wonder about the unseen hunk that is Mr. Meeks, consider the inherent likability of Jack Quaid, lavash well-earned praise for Jasmin Savoy Brown, debate whether any character is asked to “consider my penis,” and deliver one needed point of criticism: where is the News Van violence?! All this, plus a stab-filled edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure, and we openly wonder what an unhinged sexual bacchanal Woodsboro, CA, was in the mid-90s.

We’re stabbing Season 3 in the heart by answering YOUR Scream franchise questions on this very special episode of Kill By Kill! Gena & Patrick get quizzed on a variety of Scream-related topics from listeners like you and discuss Ziggy scenarios, debate death by stabbing versus Blob goo, pick our favorite characters from the franchise, puzzle over the deadly, decade-spanning effect of Maureen Prescott’s sleeping around a little, and we get a little RAAAANTY throughout! Plus, we give our final pre-Scream 2022 film rankings before the film arrives this Friday!

The question everyone asks is answered this week as we explore the "remake in the name only" of MOTHER, MAY I SLEEP WITH DANGER (2016) on Kill By Kill: After Dark! Along the way, we talk about the loathsome career of James Franco, collegiate vampires, conservative wine moms, misguided heterosexuality, audition fondling, and “girl bossing” too close to the grave. It’s a film that leaves us legitimately baffled at almost every turn, and we want to take you on that very confusing ride! It’s the reimagining/rebooting/remakequel no one wanted - until now!! Apologies for the weird 14-minute version. Obviously, it was Nightwalker interference.

When the clock strikes, so does 1980's NEW YEAR’S EVIL, and we’re talking about every odd character choice and pancaked New Waver in the bunch with author (Puppet Master Complete out now) and Returning Champion Nat Brehmer!! Along the way, we discuss killer theme songs, the trials of nervous diarrhea, rubbing up against bassists, terrible ADR, the "soup for my family" excuse, and we introduce the world to Richard “Dick” Evil - Palm Springs' #1 slasher! All this and the final Choose Your Own Deathventure of 2021, plus we ask a vital question: has any other serial killer in cinema history been motivated by how small his allowance from his wife is? Listen now before the ball drops on us all!!
