This week on the podcast, an atypical 80s slasher: Fatal Games.

In advance of the Paris 2024 Summer Olympics, we turn our attention to sports-related horror on the show.

This shoestring effort dials back the gore, and dials up the eye candy.

It’s a spirited effort that benefits from strong performances and notable character actors like Sally Kirkland (The Sting) in lead roles.

So, subscribe, check out the discussion of Fata Games and watch this not exactly podium-worthy entry into the 80s horror milieu.

This week on the podcast, we venture into the 2000s for a film which has no right to be as good as it is, The Ruins.

With a tepid description on Netflix, this is a film that resembles a typical stalk-and-slash tourism-related horror with central casting interchangeable college kids.

But DO NOT sleep on this one.

Tune into the show for a wide ranging discussion of tourism-related horror, the Italian cannibal genre, and tone setting in modern horror.

This week on the show, the stellar and oft-talked about period horror, Late Night with the Devil.

If you’re a fan of Johnny Carson, David Letterman and company, this is one for you. But even if you’re not, there’s enough meat in this one to satiate any horror fan, even if the 70s references can be a bit ham-fisted.

Tune in for a discussion of this solid talk show-centric horror.
