Episode 192: Two Evil Eyes (with Kasey Baker) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Our new expanded format continues to reap rewards, as this week we're gifted the opportunity to talk about some horror heavy hitters. This week is all about TWO EVIL EYES, an anthology film that brings together the talents of American genre legend George A. Romero and Italian bad boy Dario Argento. These two adaptations of Edgar Allen Poe stories features performances from legends like Harvey Keitel, Adrienne Barbeau, and Tom Atkins, and some truly grisly effects from splatter god Tom Savini. We
Episode 191: The Changeling (with Robert Ottone) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week we're covering our classiest picture to date: the austere and scary haunted house drama THE CHANGELING from 1980! And who better to talk about an iconic haunted house than our guest, two-time Bram Stoker-winning author Robert Ottone, whose new book, AMITYVILLE AWAKENS, releases this October! We chat about the career of Oscar-winning star George C. Scott, and about the enduring appeal of the haunted house genre. Hosted by Jarrod Hornbeck and Steve Guntli Theme song by Kyle Hornbeck Logo
Episode 190: Ghoulies III: Ghoulies Go To College (with Stuart Wellington) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Ghoulies are going to college, and I'm sorry to report: they're majoring in mischief. This week is all about the iconically-titled GHOULIES III: GHOULIES GO TO COLLEGE, the non-Empire third chapter of the foundational tiny terror series. We're joined this week once again by the amazing Stuart Wellington, part of the Flop House podcast crew, to keep a chronicle of all the pranks, yanks, and toilet tanks.

Episode 189: The Day Time Ended (with Elliott Kalan) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We're travelling back to 1980 for the oddly sedate sci-fi thriller THE DAY TIME ENDED, a movie with just enough weirdness, and just enough dead air, to make for an excellent episode of "Mystery Science Theater 3000." And as luck would have it, we're joined this week by the man who actually wrote said episode of MST3: the great Elliott Kalan, host of the Flop House podcast, former head writer of "The Daily Show," and all-around pop culture raconteur. Hosted by Jarrod Hornbeck and Steve Guntli The
Episode 188: BONUS- Catching Up With The Hosts (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week, we take a moment to just catch up and have a casual chat about whatever. We provide updates on some new Full Moon news, chat about some of our unexpected favorite properties, and test Jarrod's recall of our past episodes.
