Horror Junkies

In the first segment of the show as usual Patrick tells us whats happening in the Horror world with the news. Up first is a awesome video titled "Babashook" which is a music video that gives the Babadook a Drag makeover. Then of course the most anticipated season of Rick and Morty will be coming out July 30th and we are so stoked to see what the creators have in store for us. Another bit of news is that Leatherface will be an exclusive DirecTV release on September 21, 2017, with a limited theatrical run and full VOD release potentially on October 20, 2017. 

The main discussion of the show is about The Roanoke Colony, founded by Sir John White in August of 1587. 115 English settlers arrived on the Island began colonizing the permanent English Settlement, ordered by Queen Elizabeth I. Later in that year, Sir White left Roanoke heading back to England, to replenish supplies, but upon returning there was a mighty naval battle between Spain and England and the Queen ordered all available ship to help fight. It wasn't until 1590 that Sir White finally returned to Roanoke, but upon returning, he saw no one. Insert spooky ghost noise here.

There are many plausible theories as to what happened to those settlers who stayed behind, but of course we have to find the most ridiculous theories and talk about them. Some say the settlers resorted to Cannibalism, others say Aliens came and abducted them, in what would be the largest abduction in our history. But many simply do not have the answers and we will probably know what happened to those people.

Later in the show, we have our Versus segment and this week it was the Patrick, the reigning champ against new comer Angel.  Patrick was the Antichrist who gets stronger by drinking blood, and Angel had Carrie who multiplies when wet. We decided that the Antichrist wins this match, making Patrick 2-0.

On this week's episode of the Horror Junkies Mike and Pat get together to talk about Home Invasions and some of the movies we love that surround them. Angel and Austin have permanently entered the void and we have no idea how to get them back, so hopefully by next week will have a plan.

On the Horror News segment on this weeks show, Patrick brought yet again a lot of topics to discuss. One of the weirdest things this week is a group of fans of John Carpenter's "The Thing" are planning a 40th anniversary trip to the filming location, which sounds like it could be a really cool found footage film idea. The American Werewolf in London reboot will be a mixture of practical and CG effects. A quite ridiculous bit of news is that Michael Phelps is going to race a Shark during the upcoming Shark Week. Why this is happening? We really don't have the answers, but one could only hope for some crazy shit to happen. And speaking of water, this Summer you could be lounging in the water, while watching Jaws, which seems like a great time, unless you live in Florida. 

In the Horror History segment, Mike talks about a personal experience he had with someone breaking into his old house in Ocala and Patrick also shares a story of a home invader. Who would've thought that Mike would own the sword from Lord of the Rings to hopefully attack his invader.

Versus this week is completely new. Instead of coming up with Horror Icons to fight each other, the guys picked up an expansion deck from a card game called Super fight. We each drew three white cards, which are the characters and then three black cards, which are the attributes. Then we show each other our fighters and we debate who would win in a fight. The game is a lot of fun and we can't wait to play it more on the show.

As always tell us how we're doing and share the show with your friends. And remember to Stay Weird!

The Horror Junkies are back this week and for once we are not sweating are beards off in the hot garage. We have relocated into an open room at Mike's house and there is AC. Today's show is going to be all about Shark movies and just how much we hate all of them, because we can all agree that Jaws and Sharknado are the only great shark franchises to exist.

As usual we dive into the news with our host Patrick, and again it feels like a never ending list of things happening in the Horror world. First up is the recent confirmed release of the title for the next installment of the Saw series. Saw 8, known as Saw Legacy is now going to be called Jigsaw. So who knows what story line the director is trying to go for, but based of the plot synopsis, it feels kinda like Saw 3. Next

On today's show we also celebrate the release of probably one of the best shark movies all of time... JAWS. Directed by Steven Spielberg and released on June 20, 1975, after 42 years of blood curdling screams, this movie still makes people wary to step into the ocean waters. JAWS will always be a show favorite and will continue to instill the fear of sea into its viewers. 

On this weeks Versus, we decided to battle two major Shark movie franchises and see who would win in a fight to the death. This week it was JAWS against the underdog Sharknado. The Twitter poll ended with JAWS taking the lead with  78% and leaving poor Sharknado with 22%. But it wouldn't be in typical Horror Junkies fashion if we didn't utterly disagree with our poll and we all said we think Sharknado should win. We feel like the Sharknado would go over water, become a cyclone and pick up JAWS and destroy him.

And finally, we talk about some recent movies we watched during the week and listen to Angel create a Space Shark movie and just get weird.

The Horror Junkies are back in the studio this week with their good friend Jorge. The Florida sky is turning black and the winds begin to pick up, which means that the conditions for recording our episode are perfect. On this week's episode we discuss Infection movies and finally tackle the underrated hit It Comes At Night by Trey Edward Shults.

In the first half of the show, Patrick drags us through what felt like an eternity of Horror News. Bringing up some really anticipated Horror themed games from the E3 conference that was this past week. Such titles include: The Last of Us part 2, The Evil Within 2, Wolfenstein II, and Days Gone, which feels like it was influenced by World War Z. Be sure to check out those games if your into survival games or if you just want to cry with the lights off.

We also had a pretty intense Horror History segment with Mike. Before digging into his topic, Mike brought up a painting from It Comes At Night. This particular painting is titled The Triumph of Death and was painted by Pieter Bruegel the Elder in 1562. Depicting mass death, walking skeletons, and destruction. The topic of Horror History today was the Bubonic Plague that decimated Europe in the 14th century, wiping out one-third of its population.

The second half of the show is our short Spoiler Free conversation about It Comes At Night, followed by a longer spoiler filled conversation about what our thoughts are and the questions we have after watching the movie.  This movie got a really solid rating from the Horror Junkies, and it really makes the viewer think and pay attention.  But don't take our word for it, go see It Comes At Night and tell us what you think.

As always.... Stay Weird!

And... the Horror Junkies are back, well two of us are back this week. Austin and Angel had some things come up so it was up to Mike and Patrick to talk about what movies they would remake or create a sequel to if Hollywood, was to just give them a blank check and say go wild.  Which is probably the scariest thing you could do with Patrick and Mike.

First, Patrick dives into the news surrounding the Horror world and was there a lot of it. We talked about Amityville The Awakening was pushed back once again, which in our opinion is great because they can just stop with that story line. Another awesome piece of news that has been floating around is that the Director of IT made the children on set cry. Sounds mean, but when you think about it, those tears need to be real to really capture the essence of fear. On a bit of a sad not M. Night Shyamalan Tales from the Crypt has finally been cancelled, which is truly sad because of the hype it was getting, but one door closes and another opens. It was announced that Midnight Society Returns for "Are You Afraid of the Dark" fan film for this Halloween.  Bringing up Halloween Horror Nights 27, the website has an image with a skull surrounded by roses and candles with the phrase "All Our Times Will Come", which make Mike think that the Host this year may be some variation of DEATH, but who knows. We will continue to bring more news and announcements as we get them.

On this week's Versus we decided to dig up some graves and bring the dead back to the living. Two Masters of Horror were chose this week: Alfred Hitchcock and Wes Craven. Which we believe would be an epic battle of monsters styled like  Yo-Gi-Oh! duel and they would throw scripts of their monsters at each other until the other was cast into the Shadow Realm. The Twitter poll gave the fight to Wes Craven at 59% and poor old deteriorated Alfred Hitchcock with 41%, but if you know the Horror Junkies, we never go with our polls. 

As usual send us feedback and tell us how we're doing, but most importantly... Stay Weird!!

On this week's episode of the Horror Junkies, we decided to take a trip back through memory land and talk about all those cartoons that kept us up at night.  Shows such as: Courage the Cowardly Dog, Ahh Real Monsters, Scooby Doo, Spawn, and of course The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy. These were the shows that made a huge impact on us as kids and lured us the world of Horror.

As usual we start the show off with the news and its been a busy week in the Horror World.  Halloween Horror Nights 27 has announced that The Shinning will be making an appearance this year. Also are good friend "Barry", definnitely not Austin, gave us an inside scoop that there could be a Saw Legacy House this year. In other news the 30th Anniversary of Evil Dead 2 is coming up and they are releasing the soundtrack of the movie on vinyl, so be sure to check that out when the time comes.

On the Versus segment this week we chose Invader Zim and GIR to go up against the infamous Rick and Morty, in which could possibly be the best match up in the cartoon universe. Of course we ran a Twitter poll and Rick and Morty took the show with a whomping 59%, defeating Zim and GIR and taking over their base.

As usual we love to hear your feedback on the show, so leave us a review and tell your friends about us, but most importantly..... STAY WEIRD!!!

Hello, Horror Fiends. The Horror Junkies are back and once again we are joined with are good friend Jake to discuss the Alien Franchise. We did something weird and decided to record our episode at night in Mike's backyard, and it definitely complemented the topic of today's show.

Patrick dives into the Horror News Room and brings up some excellent announcements in our world. First up is the trailer release of Castlevania, coming to Netflix July 7th. The intro to this trailer is among one of the coolest intro's to ever happen. We are shown an original Nintendo system and that classic red Castlevania cartilage and an old school Tv. Castlevania is going to be an animated series and that deals with "the last surviving member of a disgraced clan fights to save Eastern Europe from Dracula". The Tales from the Crypt TV series is getting a complete box set on DVD and is expected to hit selves June 20th. Also announced was that the new Godzilla movie will have practical effects, which really gets all of our veins pumping, as we always say "Bring Back The Monsters", so we are all looking forward to see some Monster Creation images coming soon. And lastly, Universal released the title for the shared universe of monster movies is “Dark Universe” and they introduced the logo and musical theme composed by Danny Elfman.

On this week's Versus segment we chose The Creeper from Jeepers Creepers and The Crawlers from The Descent to fight in Space. The twitter poll had The Creeper wining at 54% and The Crawlers at 46%. We all debated and decided that due to their horde like attacks and the confined space of the ship would be so much of an advantage for The Crawlers.

Want to know our thoughts of the Alien series? Well listen to the show and find out.

Wow it's been a awhile! Mike has returned from his trip to Spain and, surprisingly, suffered no threats from masked individuals wielding chainsaws while on vacation. He did however encounter an unholy amount of stairs, but that is for another time... 

We, The Horror Junkies, are back this week and since summer is approaching, we thought it would be an excellent idea to dive into the summer theatrical releases and give our predictions. Will we buy it or will we sell it? The summer for average people is a time for lounging, swimming, and summer flings, but for the horror world, its a time for blood thirsty slashers, unsuspecting campers, and all the things that go bump in the night.

On this week's episode, Mike and Patrick are the only two in the studio. We had no idea where or what happened to Angel and Austin, so if you see them take a picture and use the hashtag WheresAustinandAngel, so we can make fun of them, but nonetheless the show must go on.

In the news portion of the show, nothing was really happening, which is a shocker because usually there is so much news, we have to shift through all of it to determine what we want to talk about. However, we did find some interesting topics to mention. First up is the latest trailer release of It Comes At Night, featuring a locked Red Door, and some pretty intense scenes. It Comes At Night is set to hit theaters June 9th. On the more independent side of  Horror, this past weekend was the Overlook Film Festival and one movie there won the award for being the Scariest Film. Of course we are talking about Still/Born, created by the man behind Grave Encounters Brandon Christensen. We literally no nothing about this movie, but if you win this award, you have our attention. We will post more about this movie later on, but head over http://www.digitalinterference.net to keep updated.

This week on Horror History, was again nothing to major. We have the 1960 release of The Two Faces of Dr. Jekyll directed by Terence Fisher, and the 1966 release of The Vulture directed by Lawrence Huntington.

Earlier in the week we watched two amazing independent movies; one called Another Evil directed by Carson D. Mell and The Transfiguration directed by Michael O'Shea. Another Evil is a comedy/Horror that to Patrick and I seems like the Clerks of Horror movies. This movie focuses on the dialogue more than anything. Which is awesome, because when it comes to ghost movies, they tend to focus on the Fear Factor, rather than the actual script. Another Evil will be available on VOD May 5, 2017 and currently has an 90% on Rotten Tomatoes, so be sure to give it a watch and prepare yourself for a different kind of horror movie.

The next movie we watched was Michael O'Shea's debut film The Transfiguration. Taking place in the projects of New York City, and follows a troubled individual named Milo, who has a pretty bad obsession with Vampire lore. Straight from the beginning this movie captures your attention. Milo played by Eric Ruffin, is a very closed and awkward kid. Literally even he way he walks and runs is weird, but these elements add so much to the film. The Transfiguration is unlike any movie we've seen before. It's coming out on VOD on August 8th,  and currently has an 83% on Rotten Tomatoes, which we feel is a little to low for this movie. Head over to http://thetransfigurationfilm.com to learn more about this amazing movie. 

Stay Weird!

On this week's episode of the Horror Junkies Podcast our host Mike is vacationing to Spain, so we decided that the best topic to discuss would be about horror movies that take place on vacation. The discussion begins with us talking about what Vacation Horror means to us and what are go to horror movies are within this genre.

During our news segment Patrick, dug deep into the news reel to find out what's happening in the Horror Culture. First up on the chopping block. Alien Day is here finally and with that came a plethora of awesome news about the anticipated Alien: Covenant (May 19, 2017). There we numerous streams of the original movies, as well as interviews from the cast and crew. Also released were a new ling of Funko Pop figures, that include two different variations of Xenomorphs.  Also announced, M. Night Shyamalan gave us the title to the sequel of Unbreakable and Split, Glass, which is going to coming to us hopefully in 2019. And unfortunately, the Horror world lost an iconic director, Jonathan Demme. The director of the truly terrifying Crime/Thriller Silence of the Lambs.  In the Indie world, Camera Obscura  directed by Aaron B. Koontz, starting Christopher Denham (Shutter Island & Argo) will be hosting its final screening at the Enzian Theater tomorrow Thursday 27^th at 915. Camera Obscura is a movie about a young man who gets a pre-World War II camera from his fiancé. He was formerly a war photographer who has been experiencing PTSD. The new/old camera is not helping as it photographs events which have yet to occur. If you would like to find out more information about this movie head over to Paperstreetpictures.com

In our Horror History segment show it was time to look into what the hell happened on this day in the world of Horror. First up, the 1953 Mark of the Vampire, directed by Tod Browning, starring Lionel Barrymore as Professor Zelin. Another film was release this day is the 1956 third adaptation in the Creature from the Black Lagoon series titled The Creature Walks Among Us, directed by John Sherwood. We also have some other death's in the Horror world. Broderick Crawford passed away at the age of 74  and Louis Peraino, producer of the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre, passed away at the age of 59.

On this week's Versus segment, we took the beloved Griswald Family and put them up against The Strangers. The Twitter polls were super close with have the Griswald's at 42% and The Strangers at 58%. We all deiced that the Griswald's would try their best to survive The Strangers, but would suffer heavy casualties, in this weeks match. Shout out to all the people who voted this week and gave us their responses.

We introduced a new segment this week called "What did we Watch". Where we try to guess each others movies, based on some criteria we came up with. But it didn't work out as we hoped, because we chose hard movies to guess. So we are going to restructure the segment.

This week we watched two movies to review Phoenix Forgotten directed by Justin Barber and we also watched Pool Party Massacre directed by Drew Marvick. If you have yet to watch this go do yourself a favor. 

As usual everyone, hit us up, join the conversation, and Stay Weird
