Join marginally popular dark fiction author J.R. Hamantaschen (“You Shall Never Know Security,” “With a Voice that is Often Still Confused But is Becoming Ever Louder and Clearer,” several unrequited love letters) and Derek Sotak (“Nachonomics,” “The Field Guide to Nachos,” “Nachos & You,” and a violent call to arms to be uncovered circa 2025) as they discuss the world of horror in (what is hopefully perceived to be) a light-hearted, frivolous and irreverent way. Those are all three words th ...

The gang bids the island life behind as they finish up ‘The Island of Doctor Moreau’ and reflect back on their long strange journey. Is it even possible to live a normal life after living with beast folk so long? Maybe, if you’re not a milquetoast Prendick that is. That’s the moral of the book BTW.The Horror of Nachos & Hamantaschen による

Was Dean Koontz inspired to write 1989’s ‘Midnight’ based on ‘The Island of Doctor Moreau’? Does getting a goat testicle transplant increase vitality? Does Doctor Moreau deliver as good a dialogue on pleasure and pain as Pinhead? Does an Ox wave its tail when happy? Does Derek know any Green Day songs? All these questions, and more, in our coverage…

Moreauvember continues with the gang’s review of the first third of H.G. Wells’ ‘The Island of Doctor Moreau’. Everyone focuses on the plight of the Beast Folk, but nobody dives into the sad life of Montgomery, who just wants to tell the sad story about how he got roped into this whole animal transformation business and nobody wants to hear it. Don…

Fun fact: In the space of four years H.G. Wells wrote ‘The Time Machine’, ‘The Invisible Man’, ‘The Island of Doctor Moreau’, and ‘The War of the Worlds’. Is there a greater four year grand slam than that? Tune in, Moreauvember begins now. Don’t forget your beast folk.The Horror of Nachos & Hamantaschen による

Have we ever covered an animated film before? I honestly can’t even remember after all these episodes. Anyhow, the gang watches 1997’s ‘Perfect Blue’, a.k.a., the movie you’ve probably seen shots copied from in most Darren Aronofsky films, the most comprehensive version of a Giallo, or, the anime you could use as a measure of the quality of the art…

While certainly not an Armageddon/Deep Impact situation, 1998’s ‘The Last Broadcast’ is often lumped in, unfairly, as the mirror to The Blair Witch Project. This is much to its loss as it is certainly no Blair Witch, but also because it has a completely different flavor of “found footage” in its inclusion of cable access shows, MIRC logs, and true …

On the one hand we have JR missing the twist of 2019’s ‘Body at Brighton Rock’ so hard that it would be like not realizing Bruce Willis was dead after watching The 6th Sense, and on the other we have Derek confusing the production story of Predator (the script for which was originally titled ‘Hunter’) with the 2003 film ‘The Hunted’. We both lose. …

Are you looking for a film about little monsters laying siege to an Irish manor with all the “fun” of Straw Dogs but none of the humor of Gremlins? 2022’s ‘Unwelcome’ might just be the film for you! Worst case scenario you get a 6 Degrees of Kevin Bacon crossover between The MCU, Game of Thrones, and Star Trek……

2022’s ‘Soft & Quiet’ may have hit theaters in exactly the way that its name implied, but that makes sense when its entire plot is best experienced knowing nothing about it ahead of time. It does introduce cinema’s third most provocative pie (American Pie, #1, The Help, #2) so don’t go in hungry. If you learn nothing from the marketing of ‘A Ghost …

Not to be confused with the 2022 TV series, the 2000 James Spader/Keanu Reeves film, nor the 1987 psychic dog vs. monster dog novel by Dean Koontz, no, this is the 2022 film about Maika Monroe being followed by a malicious force, but not the 2014 film about Maika Monroe being followed by a malicious force. Makes sense? Plus, more stories from JR’s …

The boys wrap up children and evil holes month with a film that barely qualifies for having an evil hole, 2007’s ‘The Orphanage’. Not to be confused with ‘The Devil’s Backbone’, this was the other movie about a Spanish orphanage that came out in the mid-2000s and had involvement from Guillermo del Toro in an odd Antz/Bug’s Life, Dante’s Peak/Volcan…
  continue reading
 
While mysterious holes are the #1 cause of evil children, #2 is mysterious pits, especially if they’re full of monsters. 1981’s horror-comedy ‘The Pit’ gives you the trifecta of troglodytes, evil teddy bears, and snotty Canadian children who can’t even be mean right. If you’re not sold already, as an added bonus there’s plenty of ‘The Littlest Hobo…

Did you know that mysterious holes are the #1 cause of children turning evil? Doesn’t matter if it was made by changelings, other Fae, aliens, bug monsters, or evil spirits, you have a kid, keep them clear of all mysterious holes. If only the adults in 2023’s ‘There’s Something Wrong With The Children’ had listened to Derek and JR’s parenting advic…

The Kevin Williamson series train reaches the end of the line with his newest film, the COVID horror movie ‘Sick’. Global pandemic not scary or personal enough? Throw in a little of that slasher magic to bring in on home for you. And of course a very special shout out to Aarman Touré as uncredited guy with pizza.…

Another poster of just teenager’s faces without any information about the film? Must be another 90’s Kevin Williamson film! 1999’s ‘Killing Mrs. Tingle’, er, I mean ‘Teaching Mrs. Tingle’, because maybe in the immediate aftermath of Columbine a movie names after killing a teacher was not the way to go and changing it to be more “educational” was “b…
  continue reading
 
The boys continue their Kevin Williamson retrospective (and movie posters only highlighting the faces of its actors with no implication as to what the film is about) with 1997’s ‘The Faculty’. Does all that meta horror dialogue work as well when you replace it with meta sci-fi dialogue? Take a bump of caffeine pills and tune in to find out.…
  continue reading
 
The boys dive into the oeuvre of writer Kevin Williamson, well, his non-Scream, non-TV, non-werewolf related oeuvre that is. 1997’s ‘I Know What You Did Last Summer’, is exactly what you’d expect from a 90’s teen slasher, and the behind-the-scenes-at-Miramax grossness is also about what you’d expect. I guess the killer dressing in the vein of fishi…

The boys wrap up Pride Month with the film that inspired the Godsmack song ‘Voodoo’, Wes Craven’s 1988 Bill Pullman horror vehicle, ‘The Serpent and The Rainbow’. Where exactly does it fall on the voodoo cultural insensitivity spectrum between ‘Live and Let Die’ and ‘Weekend at Bernie’s 2’? You’ll just have to listen to our 300th episode spectacula…

If you thought that ‘Mandy’ moved too fast for you, the boys cover another Panos Cosmatos film that might be more your speed. Despite what you may have heard, ‘Beyond the Black Rainbow’ is not a sequel to last week’s ‘Black Rainbow’, and is probably closer in tone to ‘Reading Rainbow’. Indeed, you watch this one under the right circumstances (recom…
  continue reading
 
The boys begin Pride Month with the under seen 1989 Rosanna Arquette film ‘Black Rainbow’. Also, instead of patting yourself on the back and thinking you’re doing good because you acknowledged something rainbowey this month, maybe actually go help some disenfranchised people? To apply this to the film, be a Tom Hulce, not a Jason Robards.…

A stuffed animal, a Ghostface, a Dracula, Panama! In the final roundup of this NYC visit (which could not be contained to just one physical location) the boys talk 2019's 'Benny Loves You', 'Scream 6' and the franchise as a whole, and Nic Cage's return to not straight to streaming films in 'Renfield'. Opinions vary.…

The boys CLICKBAIT REVIEW more MOVIES. JR goes VIRAL and FUMES about 2021’s “Ultrasound”, leaving listeners speechless. Derek ABSOLUTELY DESTROYS 2021’s “Let the Wrong One In”, but ABSOLUTELY LOVES its script. Lastly, you’ll NEVER BELIEVE the NEWLY UNEARTHED bog men in 2022’s “Moloch”, but they might MAKE YOU BOYCOTT it. 3 HOT TAKES on movies the d…

The boys are live and reviewing some old, some new, and then some other movie. For something old, not to be confused with Robert Downey Jr.’s star turning vehicle, 1989’s Tetsuo The Iron Man gives those early David Lynch vibes with a dash of metal fetishry. The new is 2023’s From Black, a film that is just daring the creative team behind A Dark Son…

Bruce is on the loose, Bruce is on the loose! Live from NYC, the boys discuss the time Derek got to play a trivia game with his hero, and then the time they went and saw Evil Dead Rise. Hope you saved room to swallow your soul.The Horror of Nachos & Hamantaschen による

The boys finish up The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and surprise, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde are the same person! Hopefully that 137 year old spoiler won’t ruin your reading of the story, because even with that knowledge it is still a very good tale. Just imagine if you were a prude Victorian reading it for the first time though, oh what a…
  continue reading
 
The boys dig into the first half of The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and while it's not particularly "strange" yet, it's getting there. It does give a new meaning to Antoine Dodson saying, "Hyde yo kids", as it could get you between $70 and $700 thousand. Robert Louis Stevenson didn't know what money was worth.…
  continue reading
 
In one of the oldest reviews of the podcast, the boys check out the 1886 Robert Louis Stevenson classic, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, notably in the form of the 2022 Leslie S. Klinger annotated version. Before you even start, we know it should be pronounced “Jee-Kill” and not “Jeck-Ill”, but don’t be the weirdo that says it like tha…

The gang is watching the only horror-comedy from the director of 'Hobo with a Shotgun' that's loosely based on the 1967 Shag Harbour UFO Incident, 2022's 'Kids vs. Aliens'. If you liked the last segment from V/H/S/2 but wished the characters weren't garbage and it was 75 minutes long your wish is granted! Channel your inner 12-year-old and hear abo…

Tired of the worn out and offensive trope of special needs people having magic powers? Well you better give The Innocents a pass then! If you can overlook that however, this tale of Norwegian children discovering that they possess strange and undefined powers could be a Chronicle or Scanners, but for kids. Much less, but not zero, head trauma thoug…
  continue reading
 
Forget your washed up Hollywood stars, mopey billionaires in limos, and boring psychiatrists, Cronenberg is back on that body horror goop train baby! The boys watch a sadly Nick Cage/Cave free version of 2022’s Crimes of the Future, which is not to be confused with Cronenberg’s 1970 film of the same name. What’s changed in the last 52 years with hi…
  continue reading
 
Finally, someone telling you about a dream, but you are actually interested in hearing about it! Are you interested in hearing about it for 100 minutes though? Depending on that answer you may be into the buzzy TikTok amped Skinamarink, or you might find it to be the most boring film ever. Give it a listen before some monster steals your doors, win…
  continue reading
 
The boys get back to their roots and continue the Moorhead-Bensonathon with Something in the Dirt (2022), which should not be confused namewise with Ben Wheatley's In The Earth, or contentwise with David Robert Mitchell's Under the Silver Lake. Or Richard Kelly's Southland Tales. Or Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead's first film Resolution.…
  continue reading
 
The boys mosey back to the farm with another roundup of horror, so imagine last week, but more! They cover Dead Space 3, Dead Space 2023, A Wounded Fawn, Heck, The Last of Us, Infinity Pool, and Tenebrae. Lot of video games and giallo huh? Hope that’s what you’re in the mood for.The Horror of Nachos & Hamantaschen による
  continue reading
 
Another year, another chance for the boys to talk about all the horror experiences they endured while on break. Dead Space 3 was played. Hellbender was watched. Reassuring Tales was read. V/H/S/99 was streamed. JR also "peddles" some "new" books, but doesn't seem to know anything about them. This is what taking time off does folks.…
  continue reading
 
When watching “ A Zombie Christmas Musical”, you would hope to have about a third of each for a good mix of a film. The 2017 film Anna and the Apocalypse is more of “A Musical with some Zombies that happens to take place at Christmas”, but that' isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Forget the comparisons to Shaun of the Dead and watch it as its own film …
  continue reading
 
All the boys wanted for Christmas this year was a horror movie with a killer Santa that wasn't the typical Christmas cash in garbage. Guess they must have been bad this year because what they got was Christmas Bloody Christmas, which, despite what the internet has implied, is a completely run of the mill Christmas horror film. Obviously JR should h…

quad·ri·ple·gic - /ˌkwädrəˈplējik/ - adjective - affected by or relating to paralysis of all four limbs; tetraplegic. Normally we wouldn't start out a description with a word definition, but the 2021 film The Advent Calendar demands that we do. Also a lot of talk about dumping, but that could be a German to French to Shudder translation issue...…
  continue reading
 
The gang sit down for a SPOILER FILLED look at BARBARIAN, which they both recommend you watch, especially before listening to this. Seriously, it’s on HBOMAX right now. Remember, statistically 1 in 10 people are a Barbarian, so if you look around and see 9 normal people who have also rented out your Airbnb, it might be you……
  continue reading
 
To save time, the gang reviews THE ENTIRETY OF GUILLERMO DEL TORO’S CABINET OF CURIOSITIES IN ONE EPISODE. Could they have stretched it out into 8 episodes? You know they could have, but honestly they’re not all winners. Also “not all winners” is a metric the Creepshow series WISHES it could reach.The Horror of Nachos & Hamantaschen による
  continue reading
 
Don't have a few hours to read Burnt Offerings? How about spending a few hours instead watching it in movie form? The boys see how the movie stands up to the novel and see if it is one of the rare examples of film that is better than the book. Barring that, at least they can see that cool the chauffeur looks.…
  continue reading
 
The gang bids farewell to their quaint mansion in the country as they finish up Burnt Offerings. If the building will let them bid farewell that is. IF ONLY WE COULD HAVE ANTICIPATED THAT THIS WEIRD MANSION OWNED BY CREEPS WHICH WAS AVAILABLE WAY BELOW MARKET VALUE AND REPAIRS ITSELF WHEN PEOPLE SUFFER AROUND IT MIGHT BE A PROBLEM!…
  continue reading
 
The gang heads out of the city to spend some time at a quaint mansion in the country with Robert Marasco’s 1973 novel Burnt Offerings. When it comes to haunted houses, forget about ones just full of ghosts, this bad boy is plain evil. Also part of it takes place in Queens so you know JR won’t shut up about that.…
  continue reading
 
Lair of the White Worm, Deadstream, Saloum, and something else I can't remember. Alone, that's it. Listen, you get how a roundup works by now, so enjoy this last one before we cover a book next week.The Horror of Nachos & Hamantaschen による
  continue reading
 
The gang is live (barely) and in person for yet another roundup. Is hearing them talk about Hellraiser (2022), Final Prayer, Don’t Go In The House, and Pulse worth putting up with their coughing? You’ll find out!The Horror of Nachos & Hamantaschen による
  continue reading
 
Get ready to clutch your pearls, not only do the boys cover SEVEN different properties this episode, but they even cautiously or even non-cautiously recommend all of them! You never thought you’d see the day, but they never thought they’d see Horror Express (Not Terror Train), Smile, Drag Me To Hell, Fairy Tale, Mandy, Nope, and Day Shift. Well, ma…
  continue reading
 
Another roundup, another chance for the boys to recommend a bunch of movies. Barbarian, that's the film you should see. Look how easy that was? Oh yeah, they also talk about Scream (2022), Predator 2, Glorious, Extraordinary Tales, and Don’t Worry Darling, but Barbarian, that’s the chef’s kiss.The Horror of Nachos & Hamantaschen による
  continue reading
 
If you were looking for a review of 2022’s Prey that wasn’t just a bunch of sexist BS, the gang has you covered today! This isn’t to say there aren’t other problems they’re going to talk about, like how the marketing would have been better if it wasn’t shown as a Predator film, or as a God of War knock-off where Amber Midthunder fights a 500-foot t…
  continue reading
 
The gang gets to the juicy meat of the Predator franchise sandwich (If you don’t count the AvP films) with 2010’s Predators. Featuring 2 Oscar winners and a murder’s row of not quite yet famous supporting cast, it’s a shame the Predators are so unimpressive. At least you’ve got Danny Trejo.The Horror of Nachos & Hamantaschen による
  continue reading
 
The boys, their thumbs always on the pulse of the horror zeitgeist, spend the month looking at all things Predator related, beginning with a fairly tangential one. In 1986, a young Arnold Schwarzenegger thought he was watching a movie about the Sega Genesis portable game system, but was actually the film debut of John McTiernan. Schwarzenegger was …
