Episodes
Episode 19 — Maximum Overdrive – (1986)
Not many people have been known to enjoy this movie, and no one has ever called it intelligent. However there may be a hint of brainless summertime fun here.
Episode 18 – Dawn of the Dead – (1978)
The most fun movie in the “of the Living Dead” series. This is a continuation of sorts from last week’s episode featuring a discussion about Tom Savini and the makeup effects that went in to the series.
Episode 17 – Meeting Tom Savini in the Airport
This week the podcast changes form in order to discuss a random encounter with horror special effects legend and film director Tom Savini at the Pittsburgh airport!
Episode 16 – Graduation Day – (1981)
A favorite that is watched annually during graduation season. Ben and Adrienne explore a few inconsistencies, weird array of characters and why this is on a “must watch” list.
Episode 15 – Day of the Dead – (1985)
Not the best entry in the “of the Dead” series, but definitely provides lots to talk about.
Episode 14 – The Terminator – (1984)
The show breaks away from the horror norm with this sci-fi classic
Episode 13 – Prom Night – (1980)
An early-era slasher movie with a much 1980-dated look. Listen in to see how this movie holds up today.
Episode 12 – Nightmare on Elm Street 3 – Dream Warriors – (1987)
An up-tempo, fast-paced episode this week covering a variety of topics. The characters of NOES 3 are explored. Ben isnt thrilled with Nancy returning, but Adrienne ponders why he cries once Freddy gets her.
Episode 11 – The Lost Boys – (1987)
More of a “fun” movie as opposed to horror, but the duo go through and make their observations…especially on some unintentional humor.
Episode 10 – Return of the Living Dead – (1985)
This one is remembered for being disgusting as it was funny. Some recollection of what made me want to see it, and some Monster Mania Con conversation.
