Horror Curious
Episodes
248 episodes
Alien
We were pulled into the pod shed to investigate a strange beacon... the sound of a request to investigate the 1979 sci-fi/horror hit "Aline". Was it actually a warning to stay away?
Brightburn
The dark side of the Superman coin, a little teen serial killer vibe, and just a hint of strawberry to tie it all together. It's a listener rec, a little number called, "Brightburn".
It Came From Outer Space
Flaming ships, jello mold P.O.V., and high 50's fashion desert hiking. At long last we learn where it came from... "It Came From Outer Space" is up!
Mailbag - RIP Sam Neill
Weighing in on what the listeners are weighing in on... This time it's Possessor poetry, unearthed Event Horizon memories, and memories of Sam Neill as a whole.
The Fog
What are those silhouettes coming through the haze? It's just two guys obsessed with doing a radio show from a lighthouse. We checked out John Carpener's "The Fog".
Event Horizon
In space, no one can hear you rip off a bunch of other successful horror movies... A haunted house movie in space, with Sam Neill working real hard!
Mailbag - It's Not Mike Flanagan
Weighing in on what the listeners are weighing in on... This time it's some font talk, a young man's journey with Halloween 3, and why Widow's Bay is driving a listener recommendation.
Possessor
Do we smell the gels? Probably not, but we do get another Cronenberg to possibly fawn over. We checked out 2020's "Possessor" by Brandon Cronenberg!
Tetsuo: The Iron Man
As we discovered, Shin'ya Tsukamoto is a man of many talents... One of them is bringing this slightly insane vision of metal and man combining to life. We checked out "Tetsuo: The Iron Man".
Halloween III: Season of the Witch (Again)
Yeah we're celebrating 200 episodes by going back to where it all started, the movie that was the gold standard by which (or witch) Nick judged all other horror movies... We're reinvestigating "Halloween III: Season of the Witch"!
Mailbag - If I Could Turn Back C.H.U.D.
Weighing in on what the listeners are weighing in on... This time it's mishearing a director's name (and possibly opening a portal to another version of Street Trash), an Argento recommendation, and some love for CHUD II - Bud the Chud.
The Devil Rides Out
In a move that I saw a few fellow Bauhaus fans make in the 80's, Hammer makes the turn from Goth to Satanist. We checked out the black magic filled gem, "The Devil Rides Out" from 1968.
C.H.U.D.
It can stand for only one thing... Nope, multiple things, but we're into the one that involves cannibals and underground! Also, yes, the Marx brothers love duck soup, not turtle soup, at least we're consistent... Consistently wrong.
Mailbag - Boo-dega Trilogy
Weighing in on what the listeners are weighing in on... This time, more talk about natural trilogies, a tasty Tanka of Terror, and because Bill can't let it go, more bodega talk.
Street Trash (2024)
Be it a remake or a sequel to an 80's cult classic, this 2024 take brings on the same gooey, neon goodness, with some new twists. We took a look at "Street Trash"!
Maxxxine
Wrapping up our threesies with the third installment of the "X" trilogy. You like 80's? You like pseudo-giallo/pseudo Brian DePalma? You like movies about movies that are about movies? Well, then this one is fro you! Ti West's "Maxxxine" is ava...
Mailbag - Threekers
Weighing in on what the listeners are weighing in on... This time it's being creeped out by Cronenberg, cities of sharks, and trilogies a'la Tolkien.
Scream 3
This time, all bets are off! Don't even bring up bets, 'cause they're OFF! Another part 3 for this month, this time it's the meta to the max "Scream 3".
Jaws 3
The third dimension is rank incompetence. We watched "Jaws 3" (or Jaws 3D to some of us old timers) and came away with a lot of questions around scope creep in an aquatic animal park.
Videodrome
Long live the new flesh! It's been a long time coming, but we're looking at Cronenberg's paranoid, futuristic, body horror... Realized I could be talking about at least 4 different movies here. We're talking about Videodrome. Careful, it bites....
Mailbag - The Glycemic Index and You
Weighing in on what the listeners are weighing in on... This time poems and songs abound about "The Day the Earth Stood Still", a possible reason for using the term "bodega", and the pineapple pizza paradox is explored once again.
The Day The Earth Stood Still
Taking it back 50's sci-fi style. Spoiler alert, an alien comes to Earth with a robot named Gort. Spoiler spoiler alert, that's not what makes the Earth stand still. It was our feet? Check out our coverage of "When The Earth Stood Still" to fin...
