Night of the Living Podcast is pretty good and gets some props for being the longest running horror movie podcast.

Gotta vouch for the forums' own Monster Craze Memoirs, as well as The Evolution of Horror.

To me, the foundation of any good movie podcast is research and/or expertise. You've gotta be significantly more informed than your audience. Having either an academic expert as the host or having someone willing to put in a lot of research and prep work makes it so that it's not just a couple of idiots rambling on about their opinions and making jokes. Unfortunately, research is hard and takes a long time so the vast majority of podcasters are unwilling to put in the work.

Throwing this out there. I just watched Rambo: Last Blood and it is a full-on slasher film with Rambo as the unstoppable monster, complete with Jason-style teleportation.

Evolution of Horror has surpassed Faculty of Horror as my favorite horror podcast, but I still listen to FoH.

Yeah this is pretty much key, if I wanted to listen to a fan ramble on about how sweet Evil Dead is I could just listen to myself. That being said I still want the hosts to be enthusiastic about the genre. Like in recent episodes the FoH ladies have sounded more like they were just going through the motions. Some episodes sound more like lectures than I remember the show being like earlier. That could just be in my head I guess.

I been wantin to see a honkey dance.
I guess I'm just in the minority then of people who don't find the Firefly family charming really in any way, as good guys or bad guys. Not that Zombie has to portray them as purely bad people, but the opening of 3 From Hell was a little heavy on the "it's the triumphant return of your beloved Firefly family!" but then again most Zombie movies are extremely not-for-me.

I still can't really see the Freebird scene in Devil's Rejects as anything other than a heroic final charge. Contrasted with, say, the Darth Vader scene at the end of Rogue One, which works (as an individual scene) better in my mind because Darth Vader is pretty cool even if he's the villain, whereas the Fireflys are just annoying scumbags. But I guess most people (or most people in the Horror Thead at least) seem to like them as characters. :confused:

If I want sleaze, I’d rather watch Henry than the Rob Zombie stuff. Zombie’s stuff is too polished to even really be considered sleaze. His movies are closer to music videos than something you’d find on a bootleg vhs tape.

I don't listen to podcasts, but they can't be any worse than horror youtube. The best you can find are just okay making-of vignettes while they robotically read a script, but most are people talking dumb lore poo poo while doing the youtube cadence and making lovely jokes.

I have to bring them up again, but Supercontext Podcast's horror episodes are always gold and easily the best stuff they do.

Also, they are doing episodes on Stephen King film adaptations on Patreon, which will be available to the public in May, as they are shutting down production.

I regularly pimp the "In ___ We Trust With Gourley and Rust" podcast. First season is Voorhees, second season is Myers, and they've hinted that the 3rd season (if there is one, with this virus) will be Kruger. It's a charming podcast, each episode is usually twice as long as the movie it's about, and they do research, genuinely love the movies, and are goofy and silly.

Amy Nicholson's "Halloween Unmasked" is basically the perfect Halloween podcast. It's a history lesson on John Carpenter, slashers, and plenty of other tangential information around Halloween and it's sequels.

Not strictly horror, but I also love The Action Boyz, with comedians Jon Gabrus, Ryan Stanger and Ben Rogers. As the title implies, they mainly do action movies from '77-'98, but every October they do horror movies they love. So far they've done Halloween, The Thing, New Year's Evil, The Howling, The Lost Boys, Monster Squad, They Live, Anaconda, Manhunter, and a few other horror-related films (Predator, for instance). They do zero research, but are funny as gently caress and are still pretty insightful. It's $5 on Patreon, $8 if you want to be sworn into the secret society of Shadow Wolves. (Coo-wah coo-wah coo-wah.)

Besides those, yeah, Evolution of Horror and Faculty of Horror are both good.

They have a similar energy, which would normally be a little lame, but in fact it's a point in their favor. They're so affable and silly that their episodes are just so fun and comforting. I've been thinking of relistening to it again, in fact.

I saw The Disappointments Room last night and it was terrible. I give tons movies (especially horror) alot of leeway before I'll say they are straight up bad but that movie was terrible. The ending sequence looked like they were trying to make an actual scary version of the Scooby Doo haunted Mansion chase scenes.

Well, now that it's the 15th, I guess I can say that I've been working on the new Peacock app for NBC Universal. And, to try and get some interest going - and to make good on my vague allusions that Burkion would be happy with the Universal Monsters coverage online - below is the list of all of the horror movies that you can find on Peacock today*.

*Assuming that you're either a Comcast Flex internet subscriber or have a Comcast set-top box**. Everyone else needs to wait until mid-July.

**Actually, that's partially a lie, too - if you're a Comcast STB customer, they're slow rolling the app out to those. You should have it by the end of the month, if not sometime next week if you're lucky.


Dracula (1931 - Spanish version)

And if you want something a little bit more age-appropriate for the kiddies, there's a couple of choices there too:

The Mummy: Quest for the Lost Scrolls
R.L. Stine's Monsterville: Cabinet of Souls
Mostly Ghostly 2: Have You Met My Ghoulfriend?
Mostly Ghostly 3: One Night in Doom House
Monster High: Ghouls Rule
Monster High: Friday Night Frights
Monster High: Boo York, Boo York


And, while there's plenty of TV options in general, there's only a few horror-adjacent options (unless we expand that to include crime shows, in which case that number jumps up A BUNCH):

Alfred Hitchcock Hour
Alfred Hitchcock Presents
Paranormal Witness
The Munsters
Unsolved Mysteries (with Robert Stack)


So, yeah, give the app a try sometime. Let me know that all of the work I've been doing recently has been worth it. I don't know which of these will show up in the free tier and which won't, but know that that is an option if you want to avoid paying yet another subscription fee as well.

There are actually 3 tiers:

- Free, ad supported (think Vudu or Pluto TV)
- $5 ad supported tier (think Hulu's non-premium option)
- $10 premium tier (commercial free, 4K content)

I don't know how much content is allowed in the free tier, but I know that there are limited episodes of everything and maybe full series runs of certain shows, and a selection of movie titles. I think they also get SOME of the "live" channels (think the Shudder live channels), but I don't believe that they get access to all of them.

The $5 and $10 tiers get access to everything, though, with the $10 tier also getting live sporting events in the future (I believe that's the plan).
