Episode 241 August is always the year’s slow spot with new horror, as the film companies are saving the good stuff for October. In support of that, we’ve decided to review the all-time “bottom of the barrel” horror movies. At least the ones that are still fun to watch— there are many, many far worse films than these out there, but these have acquired “legendary” status over the decades since their release.  We’ll first get a head of things with “The Brain That Wouldn’t Die” from 1962. We’ll then watch the infamous “Plan 9 from Outer Space” from 1957. We’ll then hide from 1959’s “The Killer Shrews” and clap for “Manos: The Hand of Fate” from 1966.  For our newsletter-exclusive bonus films this week, we’ll also watch: “The Ape” (1940) - Boris Karloff monkeys around.  “Basket Case” (1982) - What’s in that basket?  Check out all our books with one easy link:  https://brianschell.com/collection/horrorguys Here.

Episode 240 We’ll start with a ridiculous Troma film from 1986, “Blood Hook” (Ouch!). We’ll then watch a film made right here in the town where we reside, “Half Dead Fred” which just released this year.  After that terrifying experience, we’ll take a trip to the hospital and end in “The Void” from 2016. To relax after, we’ll stop in and have some fun at “Willy’s Wonderland” (2021).  For our newsletter-exclusive bonus films this week, we’ll also watch: “Night of the Comet” which may be the ultimate in 80s films (1984) The documentary film “On the Trail of Bigfoot: Land of the Missing” (2023)  Check out all our books with one easy link:  https://brianschell.com/collection/horrorguys Here.
