Horror Movie Podcast 222: Underrated/Offbeat Slashers and The Scream Heard Round the World

New

Jul 31

Welcome to HORROR MOVIE PODCAST, where we’re Dead Serious About Horror Movies…

Episode 222 is the first slasher episode of HMP 2.0! We take a look at some offbeat and underrated slashers and have a lively debate about Wes Craven's Scream

Bill Van Veghel kicks things off with his TUBI TERROR segment that looks at the little-seen slasher REDEEMER.

Then our 3 horror hosts each bring one underrated/off-beat slasher to the table to review and follow up with a spirited discussion of other titles that qualify.

The Velocipastor Matt Rawlings and Nathan invite Dave Zee on to debate the influence of 1996's SCREAM on the genre and whether it truly revitalized the horror landscape or was just one brief flash in the pan.

On SCREAMING ONLINE, Victor, Nathan, and Trey discuss the newly released BIRD BOX: BARCELONA on Netflix.

Finally, in HORROR ON THE BIG SCREEN, Nathan reviews the new supernatural thriller COBWEB and lets you know if it's worth tracking down in a somewhat limited theatrical run.
