We Watch Shudder - A Horror Movie Podcast

Just exactly how badly can an ostensibly quick stop at a gas station in the middle of both nowhere and the night go? Let's all find out together!

We wrap up franchise fan film week with the only real iconic franchise it could be - "Halloween". This is also our only horror comedy this week, which puts a lot of pressure on it to represent for horror comedy everywhere. Did it live up to the challenge? Let's all find out together!

If you're wondering how a shot-on-video labor-of-love Child's Play fan short got access to such an impressive and authentic looking Good Guy doll, give the episode a spin. This is the most indie film of the week (maybe the month) but it has incredible spirit. Check it out HERE!

Part homage recreation, part original fan film, with more than enough splatter to satiate the gorehounds. Not only do we discuss the movie, but also JD goes off on a tare about how The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, one of this favorite horror films of all time, is NOT a slasher film.

Gary J. Tunnicliffe went on to write Hellraiser: Revelations, as well as writing and directing Hellraiser: Judgement, and it all happened because of this six-minute character piece. Equal parts makeup effects demo and audition tape probably sounds less appealing than it really is, but you'll understand when you watch. Which you can do HERE!

In perhaps the boldest move in all of Franchise Fan Film week, Womp Stomp Films brings us a Nightmare on Elm Street joint that sequelizes one of the most divisive films in the franchise, Wes Craven's New Nightmare! Who is Dylan and how does it all tie in? There's really only one way to know. Well, two. Listen to this episode, or...

We're kicking off Franchise Fan Film week of Spooktober Shorts with this Friday the 13th fan film that puts Ol' Hockey Face himself into the winter woods to do what he does best. That's killin', in case you weren't sure. Turns out this is a prequel to another film that is longer than shorts but shorter than pants called Never Hike Alone. It's a capri film. Anyway, here's the SHORT!

What kind of film resulted in the biggest separation of scores between Michelle and JD in the history of the show? Let's all find out together!

While Ari Aster's short film Beau appears almost shot for shot in the pants film "Beau is Afraid", there are also hints of Munchausen and Basically and even The Turtle's Head at play in the pants as well. About ten minutes of this episode addresses the short, and then we dive into the pants. Watch the short HERE! Sorry, the feature is still a VOD rental.

There are two kinds of people in the world: those who hear, "Ari Aster made a short called 'The Turtle's Head'," and immediately know what this movie is about, and those who don't. The most out of character of this week's Ari Aster shorts, but the most fun as well. Check out the short HERE!
