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

Attention Crystal Lake Campers, we're back to experience final showdown of 1980's FRIDAY THE 13th!! In this 2016 episode, we explore the controversial idea that you should never walk into someone's knife and ponder the color of Mrs. Voorhees's knuckle hair. Plus, we play Choose Your Own Deathventure and consider whether the end of this film make a lick of sense, and if we should even care!! Paddle on out to the middle of an empty lake and think about it with us, won't you?

Heed our warning… this episode is incredible!! That’s right, we’re getting otherworldly this week as we explore every nook and blood-splattered hallway inside Guillermo Del Toro’s gothic-glam masterpiece, CRIMSON PEAK!! Here to help us unravel this twisted tale is a premier interior designer and former Final Girl on film, Shannon Ggem!! Along the way, we explore the differences between Del Toro’s monsters and his ghosts, unpack what it’s like to be covered from head to toe in prosthetic makeup, and debate Lucille’s killer workout routines!! All this, plus color-coded ghouls, Mom characters, one good tarp, funky phantoms, moth infestitoriums, top-notch shovel shots, marketing misses, and a haunting edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure!! Crimson and clover, over and over with us today!! 

NOTE: Good news! Gena’s kidney transplant was a success!! Her road to recovery is still ongoing, so there may be some unforeseen disruptions in our feed in the coming weeks. We never want to leave you without new eps, but you may find us posting episodes a little more inconsistently than you’ve seen in the past. All apologies.

Rejoice Campers! We are back to where it all began: FRIDAY THE 13th. In this 2016 episode, we cover all six degrees of Jack's death, played by the one and only Kevin Bacon. Plus, Gena and Patrick debate Mrs. Voorhees’ incredible forearm strength, discuss Marcie’s questionable impression skills, and pull back the veil on one of the best characters in horror history: Brenda. Plus, we have a truly epic edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure that marks the beginning of our journey towards two of our signature on-screen death categories: "It's Been A Good Run" and the #GetBunked!! Join us again or for the first time: everyone is welcome to camp with us!!

Death is just a word, but podcasting is a sacred duty - that’s why we’re braving the storm to bring you follow-up coverage to a blockbuster sequel, 2025’s BLACK PHONE 2!! That’s right, we’re not just taking ghost calls, we’re making them as we dig into the evolution of the film’s lore building, explore the very pointed and relevant Christian messaging within both Black Phone movies, consider the compelling nature of a character’s decency, and discuss what makes an essential Cargill/Derrickson horror flick!! All this, plus cabin rules, Curtains references, potty mouths, stoned snow jogging, skeleton feet, blizzard camps, pot dealer haircuts, sensual dojo dream fights, and a 16mm-filmed version of Choose Your Own Deathventure!! Be warned: it's SPOILERS almost immediately!

NOTE: Last week, Gena successfully underwent surgery and received her kidney transplant. We're thrilled for her and can't wait to start recording new episodes, but there may be some delays. There might also be zero missing weeks of new episodes. Just be aware that we're going to try our best in the coming months.

Thank Jason it’s... Tuesday?! On this week's revisit, we dig into more characters from FRIDAY THE 13th as we bid adieu to our beloved camp cook (Annie) and Crystal Lake's first-class clown (Ned), and we answer a series of important questions like: When you’re new in town, should you ask a dog for directions? Is it okay to be jealous of a crazy person’s biking posture? Are you properly prepared to exit a moving vehicle today? Plus, another seminal game of Choose Your Own Deathventure and a conspiracy that will rock the foundation of the Friday franchise forever! Whether this is a return to our Crystal Lake coverage or your first time at Camp Crystal Lake, it's a good time to get into Kill By Kill!!

Do we have a story to tell you! Gather ‘round as we tell the tale for four guys who cannot handle their polycule!! That’s right, we’re cracking open the Stephen King Universe adjacent novel adaptation, 1981’s GHOST STORY!! Huddled next to the fire with a snifter of brandy is editor and TikTok retro movie reviewer, Brendan Murphy (@MurphCo)!! Along the way, we dig into author Peter Straub’s road to a million-dollar payday, unpack why adapting the book proved to be so tricky, and we reopen our cinematic feud with the onscreen presence of Craig Wasson!! All this, plus bozo clusters, ghoul henchmen, chocolate ‘staches, tree snake tricks, non-apologetic night strangulation, Manitou-adjacent kimonos, the return of Dirty Peanut, World of Cinemagic tricks, mouth gifts, and take on a full-frontal edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure!! It’s an episode 10 years in the making - which makes sense since we’ve been doing this show for a DECADE NOW!! 

NOTE: As of the date this episode dropped, Gena successfully underwent surgery and received her kidney transplant. We're thrilled for her and can't wait to start recording new episodes, but there may be some delays. There might also be zero missing weeks of new episodes. Just be aware that we're going to try our best in the coming months.

Thank Jason it’s been nearly 10 years!! That's right, we're celebrating almost a decade of making fun of horror movie characters in the order in which they die by revisiting where it all began: the first episode of Kill By Kill!! In this episode, Patrick and Gena will unpack all the gory details of horror cinema’s least appreciated element: the characters, starting with the 1980 slasher classic, FRIDAY THE 13th! This is where it all began, starting with our own personal introductions to the Friday franchise before delving into the original film’s cold open and the fully clothed, yet steamy, encounter between Barry & Claudette way back in 1958. Along the way, we discuss the raw sexuality of folk songs, talk about the practicalities of dry humping, and poor cardboard box-throwing accuracy before a rousing game of Choose Your Own Deathventure!! Enjoy this remixed and remastered look back at Kill By Kill history!!

Well, you made it to 2026. It’s officially the Dead of Winter. What better way to celebrate the frozen tundra of our lives like a trip to where the sun is warm, the waves are tasty, and the beach is… deadly!! That’s right, we’re cracking open the Patreon Vault to let everyone hear our savagely sandy evaluation of 1981’s creature-that’s-barely-featured, BLOOD BEACH!! Along the way, we explore dark-ass piers, cops who can’t shut up about Chicago, useless eyewitnesses, swimming commutes, pitiful pathologists, John F*#king Saxon, chomped members, local politics, and so much more!! 

NOTE: We will see you for a brand new episode next Friday!!

If it’s the MOST wonderful time of the year, you know we have to round out our Amityville revisit with the one thing that brings light into our lives… a haunted lamp!! That’s right, illuminating the world to the TV Terror turned hand-mauling home video sequel, AMITYVILLE 4: THE EVIL ESCAPES!! See lamps lash out, witness electrical cords go full Popeye, experience reduced fly budgets, beyond the beige Mr. T, grab a little hot Old Priest/Young Priest action, and shudder at the maximum withholding of familial love from a Grandmother!! All this, plus an ectoplasmic edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure, we get introduced to ghost spooning, and we return to the House of the Dirty Peanut!! Get out - with this episode downloaded onto your device so you can listen today!!
