Really Awful Movies: Ep 435 – Jeepers Creepers

Jeepers Creepers.

We turn our attention to the early 2000s and this Justin Long-starrer, a genre-bending supernatural and very atmospheric creature feature.

This one incorporates aspects of Duel, Dark Night of the Scarecrow, Children of the Corn, Tourist Trap and too many others to possibly mention.

And it has a very dark backstory too.

Really Awful Movies: Ep 429 – Megaboa

This week on the podcast…snakes and snake-related nature run amok flicks.

We shine the spotlight on Megaboa, a 2021 affair, featuring a prof and some grad students fending off a giant snake on a tropical island.

Unlike other animal attack genres, snake horror flicks have yet to produce a bona fide classic, a la Jaws (sharks), Backcountry (bears), Alligator (gators) or Cujo (dogs).

Ever wonder why that is?

Anyway, let’s take a deep dive into this one, shall we?

Topics discussed:

  • The killer snake genre
  • Eric Roberts and his oeuvre
  • Other animal attack genres
  • The prevalence/ubiquity of anthropology professors in horror

Really Awful Movies: Ep 395 – The Deadly Spawn

This week on the podcast, the uber low budget New Jersey regional horror, The Deadly Spawn.

Filmed for a meagre 30k back in 1980, and taking two years to complete, this creature feature is a super fun flick for fans of goofy sci fi flicks. It’s spirited, and cheap ‘n’ cheerful.

A meteor crash lands into a bucolic landscape (or, a matte painting). And gooey creatures make themselves at home, in a Victorian home, much to the chagrin of the occupants.
