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

In space, no one can hear you scream. On Earth, everyone can totally hear everyone else complain. That’s right, we hear to get an eyefull - including the tenticles - of FX’s ALIEN EARTH!! Along the way, we stumble over what the plural version of consciousness is, go deep into the “big feelings” of synthetic pre-tweens, argue with HR robots about our indentured servitude, and debate which hour of TV was the most successful overall!! All this, plus “James Spader” eyebrows, methodically unscientific methods, squirmy eye squids, corporate nation-states, meet “plantus,” lack of due diligence, and crash directly into a very unpleasant edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure!! Just place your face directly over the egg… I mean podcatcher, and get ready for a fun surprise!!

How can we possibly cover Stephen King without talking about CREEPSHOW? Wait. We already did. Who cares?! Let’s raise these episodes from the grave and revisit this incredible George A. Romero and Stephen King collab! And here demanding his own slice of the Father’s Day segment is one of the gang from We Hate Movies and Returning Champion to Kill By Kill, Stephen Sajdak!! Along the way, we discuss undead reactions at the Oscar ceremonies, investigate the regenerative powers of Jim Beam, consider Ed Harris’ many disco faces, evaluate our Renaissance Fair tolerances, wonder what it would be like if everyone were waiting for you to die already, and we make it clear that none of us wants to incorporate a graveyard into our landscaping! All this, plus a zombie-powered edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure, and you’ve got a confection that even a corpse would want to dig into again!!

Light the fires and kick the tires, this episode of Kill By Kill is about to go up in flames as we ignite the debate of the pros and cons of 1984’s FIRESTARTER!! Along the way, we explore Stephen King’s “bad dad” novels, tell the tale of one ‘Midsummer Night’s Dream party, investigate what Dino De Laurentiis actually liked about King properties, and litigate the case of reality vs. casting George C. Scott in the role of a 30-something, indigenous Vietnam vet. All this, plus mind torpedos, Lot-6 key parties, Heather Locklear blinks, SyFy sequels, horse shields, bus station scams, plantation blazes, and a flamin’ hot edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure!! Feel the heat with us, won’t you?

Also… watch The Fury (1978) already!!

They say that what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger… but how many of those people have spent over nine years making a horror movie podcast with their friend? To celebrate 400 episodes of putting movie characters in the grave, we’re talking about a movie that gives us life: the ultimate 1980 musical disasterpiece, THE APPLE!! This movie has everything: bubbles on station wagons, plexiglass keytars, tooth jewels, 121 heartbeeps, softshoe clowns, molested landladies, actual vampires, subtle religious overtones, unsubtle disco orgasms, TV’s Eric LaSalle, vinyl riots, brutalist lobbies, dance belts, and SPEEEEEEDD!! It’s a celebration of life as we never knew it on this very special episode of Kill By Kill!!

Terror has no shape, but it does have a podcast!! That’s right, we’re returning to Arborville, CA, where Friday nights mean football, flirting, and a hungry mass of space gelatin looking to slurp all the meat it can off the bone in the fantastic 1988 remake of THE BLOB!! Here to help us make sense of all the space madness is director Colin Karwchuk!! [THE JESTER 2 is in theaters for special screenings Sept 15th and 16th via Fathom Events.] 

We break it all down, including The Blob’s origin story, why the films are plagued by old teens, mind-bending special make-up effects, worship at the altar of Shawnee Smith, the film’s secret King-coded story, and Frank Darabont and Chuck Russell’s main character problems. All this, plus talking ribbing pleasure, bouncy theme songs, bad dates, concussion protocols, worse wigs, stealth leads, the dangers of recycling, dangerous nostalgia, puffy shirts, Craig Wasson dissing, and a very gelatinous edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure!! Crawl into every crevice with us for an all-new episode of Kill By Kill!!

Light the fuse, people!! That’s right, we’ve loaded up a 1980s Stephen King favorite for you as we sink our teeth into SILVER BULLET with the help of Certified Forgotten writer and podcaster, Matt Monagle!! We tear into the origin story of King’s and illustrator Bernie Wrightson’s Cycle of the Werewolf, make the wolf die so people cry with Dino De Laurentiis, we learn this film’s connection to Phantasm, and reconsider the cinematic presence of Gary Busey!! All this, plus Everett McGill’s angry Wikipedia picture, trainyard scuba breathing, fist-to-snout action, Tarker Mills’ front page news, kite flying addictions, weird screams, scattered bear traps, bald werewolves, and a Choose Your Own Deathventure lit by a full moon!! It’s a howling good time on an all-new episode of Kill By Kill!!

Do you remember that one post-Scream, college-set slasher filled with TV pretty 20-somethings and a few horror legend cameos? No? Neither does one of its stars! That’s right, we’re studying up on 1998’s URBAN LEGEND!! (A film that is neither particularly urban nor legendary… discuss) Our student advisor for this episode knows a whole lot about urban legends, creepypastas, and very scary stories, podcaster Jon Grilz (Small Town Horror and Creepy)!! Along the way, we explore the mid-‘90s lineage of slashers that lead up to Urban Legend’s cash-in, open the book on some of the cast’s more colorful backstories, revisit a pitch-perfect example of a “Have you considered my penis?!” boy, and dive into one of the worst cases of “the Tarentinos” we’ve ever seen!! All this, plus a decomposing Alan Funt, No Bueno Amigo shots, window blindness, “the f*cking who?” soundtrack bands, unbranded killers, bad dye jobs, hair volume, and a legendary edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure!! Recount this episode to a friend today, people!!

The podcast you’re about to hear is based on a true story… the story that we went to the theater and watched the fantastic new horror film, WEAPONS!! Also, we wanted to talk about, and we happen to own microphones. So we have a quick non-spoiler review right at the top for those who haven’t been lucky enough to catch this new film in theaters yet before we dive into the thorny, thrilling, and often laugh-out-loud funny motion picture!! We unpack the unexpected themes of the film, shop around our ideas for more soup-based flicks, discuss the power of underexplanation, worship at the altar of Aunt Gladys, and explore why this film seems to have challenged the media comprehension-deprived viewers in the audience!! All this, plus Naruto running, newspaper camouflage, Wolf Mens, Ka-tet building, bad dads,  and uncover the mystery of Choose Your Own Deathventure!! Run, don’t walk, to listen to us today!!

It’s time for love. It’s time to punch with your hands and feet. It’s time for us to discuss one of the two movies where Chuck Norris fights a Michael Myers… 1982’s SILENT RAGE!! Which is neither silent nor a rage… discuss. Here’s to help us raise this action-horror hybrid from the dead is Returning Champion Galen Howard!! Along the way, we explore Chuck’s unique “acting” style, dig into why Ron “Actor/Activist” Silver just can’t turn it off even for a second, and examine every moment of the worst love scene ever committed to film!! All this, plus Stephen “Stephen Furst was Junior ‘the Unseen’” Furst’s improv skills, laundry basket fears, terrible deputies, panties and freeweights, magic elixers, mustache brushing, bad fruit grabs, moving corpses, and a medically upgraded edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure!! It’s a roundhouse kick to the face of fun this week on Kill By Kill!!

Friends, neighbors, mere acquaintances… ever see a horror movie you just can’t get out of your head? Well, for us it’s that giallo-flavored, hidden twin horror flick from 2021, MALIGNANT!! Erupting onto the show to help us work it all out is actor/producer (Perfectly Good Moment is now streaming free on Tubi) and podcaster (Don’t Be Crazy) Amanda Jane Stern!! Along the way, we celebrate the singular talents of writer Akela Cooper and director James Wan, discuss janky Hellraiser sequels, connect to B-movie brilliance, veer into intentional tonal shifts, talk about the tether the story has to real-life tragedies, AND TWIINNS!! All this, plus Maximum HBOs, Carnosaur connections, Annabelle complaints, melee fighting, the 9-1-1 universe, more hash-slinging slashers, comic book origins, and a medical grade version of Choose Your Own Deathventure!! You don’t have to wonder where your mind is - it’s listening to an all-new Kill By Kill!!
