A horror, trash, sci-fi, action podcast. The Common Craig, his wife, Nicole, and other contributors, discuss genre movies with their own brand of whimsical wit. Join them as they withstand the lengthy horrors of segments like the FOCUS OF FEAR! They decide whether a movie survives to live on in their collection, or meets a grisly demise in AMASS OR MURDER! Their bloodlust demands that an anthology movie does battle with itself, in the ANTHOLOGY DEATHMATCH! Will these depraved despots ever re ...

Send us a text Spirals, spirals everywhere, so let's all have a drink! You really could have a wild "spiral spotting" drinking party while watching this movie, if you're into that sort of thing. Of course, we're not condoning that behavior. That's your own decision! Leave us out of it! And get that Millipede out of your ear! It's the madness of the…

Send us a text Two cult horror films with identical titles (kind of), going head-to-head! Classic 1980s heavy metal horror, with appearances by Gene Simmons and Ozzy Osbourne, versus a 2007 horror anthology that became beloved against all odds! Which movie takes the Trick or/'r Treat crown??? Happy Halloween! It's Trick or Treat (1986) vs. Trick 'r…

Send us a text As an adult, your common sense usually does more to protect you than it did when you were a teenager. But holding a mystical hand, seeing a spirit, and then inviting it into yourself? Hey, I get that there's peer pressure and all, but I really hope that I had seen enough horror movies as a teen to know that would be a terrible idea. …

Send us a text It's time for the 6th anniversary episode of the podcast! And don't you think that it's about damn time that we watch a Reba McEntire movie? What's that? Oh, sure. Kevin Bacon is in this, and Fred Ward, too. Yeah, the dad from Family Ties, he's here, and the girl with the shaky Jell-O from Jurassic Park. But we're obviously here for …

Send us a text When you're young, you dream about being older so that you can do certain things. When you're old, you dream about being young, and doing the things that you used to do. But at some point, don't you just reach an age where you're too tired to think about being young again? With The Substance (2024), there are two bodies, sure, but yo…

Send us a text You've just married into this obscenely wealthy family, who made their fortune creating and developing games. What you did not expect is that, due to family tradition, at midnight on your wedding night, you are required to play a game. Will that game be chess? Perhaps Old Maid? Or will you actually be fighting for your life? Ready or…

Send us a text Names can be a challenge sometimes. You're assigned this name, and maybe it's difficult to pronounce, but it's not even your fault! But with Quetzalcoatl, it probably doesn't matter. It's just going to eat your head and move on. It's fine if you just call it Q (1982)!द्वारा Common Craig / Nicole

Send us a text The English language is causing an issue in a small Canadian town. And I know what you're thinking, but no, it's not because they only speak French. There actually seems to be a vocabularial virus of some kind, and it's spreading. Can our heroes, a small group of people broadcasting out of a talk radio station, discover a solution be…

Send us a text An oddity can be an interesting thing. A curiosity, one might say. Would you expect to receive a life-size wooden person as a gift? Probably not, because that does seem a little unusual. But hey, this movie is called Oddity (2024).द्वारा Common Craig / Nicole

Send us a text A documentary filmmaker, known for exploring the supernatural, disappears without a trace! But we get to view his final film. Will we disappear after watching it? You never know. Until you watch, Noroi (2005)!द्वारा Common Craig / Nicole

Send us a text What happens when you combine a young FBI agent with psychic abilities, a serial killer, children, life-size dolls with silver spheres in their heads, T. Rex, Satanism, and Nicolas Cage? You get one unsettling movie. Are you wearing your Longlegs (2024) today, almost-birthday girl?द्वारा Common Craig / Nicole

Send us a text Gothic horror from Italian master, Mario Bava! A small village is cursed by the ghost of a young child, who just so happens to be causing a number of deaths. Operazione Paura, Operation Fear, Die toten Augen des Dr. Dracula, Curse of the Living Dead, Don't Walk in the Park? None of those titles feel like a good fit for this movie, an…

Send us a text The adorable animals are back! This time in snake form! We have slithering serpent friends in showers, at carnivals, in air ducts, and liquor cabinets. Oh, and definitely on a plane.

Send us a text If you ever find yourself seeing demons or inhuman things, and are really uncertain as to whether or not they are dreams or reality, maybe you would develop a feeling of solidarity by watching Jacob's Ladder (1990). Actually, no. Maybe that's not such a good idea.द्वारा Common Craig / Nicole

Send us a text Sydney Sweeney is hugely popular! This is bound to be our most successful podcast episode ever! Except, well, she's not actually on the show or anything. We just happen to be discussing a movie in which she stars, and also happens to produce. But it's some good old religious horror, so there's that, at least. Sydney Sweeney IS Immacu…

Send us a text More than four years after we discussed the first film in the series, we're returning to the depths of Clive Barker's imagination. Some of us more reluctantly than others. But make no mistake, it's time to play. Puzzle boxes, people without skin, chains with fishhooks, Kirsty, people with nails or pins in their heads, blood and goo, …

Send us a text Is that a vampire, or a puppet? A celebration in a small French village leads to madness and chaos. And a witch's curse plagues a small Massachusetts town.

Send us a text They don't call it the curse for nothing. Wait. What are we talking about here? Are we talking about menstrual cycles or werewolves? Yes!

Send us a text Bill Paxton, director? Yes, it's true! Bill made his feature film directorial debut with Frailty (2001), in which he also stars as a single father with two sons. He believes that he has been visited in the night by an angel, who has instructed him and his sons to hunt demons. However, his oldest son, Fenton, is more than a little con…

Send us a text What do a torso, an eyeball, and an opera all have in common? Those are the titles of the gialli we are covering for Giallo January Two! Or due, sorry.

Send us a text 2024 seems like it was actually a very solid year for horror movie releases. And while the Common Craig did not see them all, he did see 33 new horror-ish releases from last year. Let's rank them and decide the best and the worst of 2024!द्वारा Common Craig / Nicole

Send us a text The holiday spectacular returns for a sixth time! It's Horror for the Holidays!

We then join a family driving to a holiday gathering who take a shortcut to nowhere in Dead End (2003). Come with us and meet a signalman…

Send us a text A ship reappears after having been missing for seven years. Obviously, complete disregard for safety tells us that we have to go check it out, right? And where did this ship go for seven years? Another dimension? Maybe hell? Oh, yeah. This is going to go well. And the ship is in space, of course. This is the voyage of the starship, E…

Send us a text It's important to have friends. People who can be relied upon in both good times and bad. But if you're on a cave adventure, and you suddenly come upon an unexpected, hostile threat, can you really count on those people? The ladies in The Descent (2005), just happen to face such a challenge.…

Send us a text More child trauma? Two episodes in a row? Apparently, we just can't get enough. When little Peter hears knocking, and then a voice, coming from his wall, his parents seem desperate to discourage him from pursuing an explanation. But, as the tagline for the movie says, "sooner or later, family secrets creep out." And in this movie, so…

Send us a text David Cronenberg's cathartic exercise on film, a result of a personal custody battle, is not all body horror. There is genuine child and family trauma at its core. And because of that, The Brood (1979) is not always a pleasant watch. Perhaps Cronenberg's most personal film, it still packs quite a punch some 45 years later.…

Send us a text A ballerina vampire must get bored between recitals, I guess. Especially considering that if you're immortal, you probably have A LOT of recitals. So, who can blame Abigail for wanting to kill some of her father's henchpeople in her spare time? We're kicking off our new A-Z of Horror Series with Abigail (2024)!…

Send us a text After 5 years, I guess that it's finally time to talk about a Nicole favorite for our 135th episode. And I can't even complain, because it's a horror comedy love letter to George Romero's zombie classics. But that's ridiculous! Don't say the Z word! We present to you, what can only be, the SHAUNNIVERSARY! It's Shaun of the Dead (2004…

Send us a text The Final Chapter for Friday the 13th: The Episode? I'm afraid so. One movie does feature a guest appearance by one Fred Krueger, so there's that. And the other is a reboot attempt that fared well at the box office. But no! That's all. This Voorhees guy is finished! Maybe. But while you're waiting, you may as well hear our opinions o…

Send us a text Do you believe in cryptids? Is Bigfoot, or some variation like the Fouke Monster, really out there? And if they are, are they just lonely, but shy creatures? Or are they genital-ripping monstrosities who want to mate with you? Look, we really don't know. But we'll try to answer these very important questions. We want to believe! But …

Send us a text After the length of that last episode, you may have thought that we were dead. But no, we have one final stop before we can escape the Summer of Action! Well, two technically. But if we're going to escape from two of America's major cities, we may need help from someone with experience. Thankfully, Snake Plissken always seems to get …

Send us a text You didn't think that it was game over for the Summer of Action, did you? What are we gonna do now, what are we gonna do? We're not going to build a fire and sing a few songs, I'll tell you that. Look, if we're going to do this right, we need to bring in a special guest. James (not Cameron), allegedly the foremost expert of all thing…

Send us a text If you think action movies are all testosterone, think again! We have three movies for you, with ladies kicking some serious butt. You'd better hope that you're not on the wrong side of vengeance, messed with a police officer/martial arts instructor's family, and that you haven't been stealing babies! A child conceived to become an i…

Send us a text The Summer of Action continues, and it feels like a steel mill outside. Hot enough to melt a liquid nitrogen-frozen T-1000! Oh, yeah, and it's also 40th anniversary of the first movie in this series. So, chill out, dic...oh, wait! I mean, chill out and relax while we discuss some James Cameron cyborg stuff. Overshadowed by its sequel…

Send us a text It's time we does the tell, so that we 'members the man who in the roar of an engine lost everything. A burnt-out, desolate man, who wandered out into the wasteland. It was there, in that blighted place, that he learned to live again. Witness us doing the tell, so we will ride eternal, shiny and chrome. While we have not yet had a ch…

Send us a text Mentioned way back in Episode One of the podcast, one of Nicole's favorite horrors finally receives the featured treatment.

Send us a text There's always time for horror. Especially on Mother's Day! Even if your mom pretends or acts like she doesn't really care for horror, you know that she's only kidding.

Send us a text Have you ever been in the shower and found yourself wondering, what DID William Shatner do in the 1970s? Between the cancellation of Star Trek in 1969 and Star Trek: The Motion Picture in 1979, he must have done something, but what? Well listeners, we're here for you. A former priest who had a crisis of faith (Shatner), is among a sm…

Send us a text If you're like me, you love a good road trip. The open road, listening to your favorite music, chasing suspected serial killers, picking up sinister hitchhikers, making sadistic enemies on your CB radio, taking the backroads to hell. Good times!

Send us a text A very Tall Man. Deadly, flying silver spheres. A Lady in Lavender. Jawas? Okay, technically not Jawas. Two brothers and their pal, an ice cream man by trade, attempt to unravel the mystery of what is happening to the bodies of the dead at Morningside Cemetery. Of course, snooping around manages to incur the wrath of The Tall Man and…

Send us a text Time to pay another visit to the Dungeon of Directors, and unleash a variety of cult horrors. Writer, director, producer, Larry Cohen just had a knack for taking ideas and fleshing them out. Making something that sounds ridiculous, much more compelling and fun than it has any right to be. The Davis family is expecting, and the pregna…

Send us a text The Winter of Folk Horror is not yet ready to let 2024 go. Cozy up with the comfort of witches, as we discuss three very different witch movies.

Send us a text Adorable animals return! And at least some of them are back for the attack. Hopefully, our cat children were not negatively impacted during our viewing of these features. The bodies from a local cemetery are used to develop a new taste sensation for cats in The Corpse Grinders (1971)! An alien cat arrives on Earth, in need of repairs…

Send us a text We've covered the more obvious directorial efforts of George A. Romero over the years. But, there is unseen by most, an underworld of Romero films. Movies that are just as real, but not as well-known. We crack open that creaky Dungeon of Directors and unleash these lesser-known Romero films. The residents of a rural Pennsylvania town…

Send us a text Have you noticed that it's kind of cold outside? Well, not everywhere, of course. But if you live near us, then you know what we're talking about. Why not warm up with a dose of cozy folk horror? It's the return of one of our favorites, the Winter of Folk Horror! We travel the world, once again, stopping first in Norway for a swim in…

Send us a text What else there to do in January other than sit around being cold? You should probably heat things up, Italian-style, by celebrating Giallo January! And when Sergio Martino brings Edwige Fenech along to star in his movie, that always helps. Join us for discussions of Mario Bava's early giallo, Blood & Black Lace (1964), the third fil…
