The Head, The Tail, The Whole Damn Thing

Hey whole Damn Family. It's time we conjure up a double dose of the Warrens. Everyone's favorite paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine. This is true stuff! No one could make this up. It's not Hollywood fakery; this is real life, true things that happened to real people and were documented truthfully, and also it's true that it's true. It's like super realistic truth. We start with the true story of The Conjuring (2013) and the Perron family, and finish with the case that was so true it made them stop fighting for the truth. Yes, that's right. The Conjuring: Last Rites (2025) is about the Smurl family. As I write this, I can't believe we didn't make a Family Feud joke. At any rate, here for your Shocktober enjoyment is some true horror. Happy Spooky Season, everyone!

What we have here is a supersized version of witchery, just in time for the Halloween season. We start off with a classic, Dario Argento's (1977) Suspiria. It's obvious from the fake Italian accent enthusiasm that the boys enjoy this one! There's lots to unpack in this arthouse horror gem, including some interesting behind the scenes tech about the film and the soundtrack. We follow that up with the brand new Zach Cregger film Weapons (2025) which Mike happened to work on. So there are lots of behind the scenes tidbits and discussions on the makeup fx. There's so much in this episode we left it long and still cut stuff out that will come to Patreon later. So grab your ingredients and heat up your cauldrons, it's time to get into this witch.

Hello Whole Damn Family! On this one, we sail out and find two films that may be under your radar. Dead Calm (1989), which is one of Billy Zane and Nicole Kidman's first-ever roles. It's a tight thriller where we get to conjure the ghost of Orson Welles for our opener (kinda). Aren't you curious why? Then we deep dive into this summer's new serial killer shark movie from down under by Sean Byrne, Dangerous Animals (2025), Starring Jai Courtney (this one just dropped on Shudder). Sir David Attenborough visits us (not really) to tell us about the dangers of Australia. We also talk about the sexy tones of Creedence Clearwater Revival and bite into the sensuous side of corn. Oh you didn't know there was one? You've got a lot to learn in this episode!

It's our one-year anniversary! So let's unplug it all and plug it back in with these two beauties. In 1986, Wes Craven tried to introduce the world to his Deadly Friend...but audiences were more interested in his nightmares, so the studio stuck their greasy fingers into his mechanical pie. Spoiler Alert…It didn't go over too well, but this one has a good origin story. Twenty-six years later, the world was introduced to M3GAN and now M3GAN 2.0, so we paired Wes' long lost and rarely talked about friend with the latter. Lucky for you! In this episode, we talk robot love, destructive AI’s, evil stepfathers, Steven Segal, and Family; in fact, “it’s all about family!” So put on your headphones and reboot with some laughs.
Check out Adrien Morot's company on insta for some M3GAN stuff and more!

This one should be fun! A whole episode on grief! How adorable! The boys cover Stephen King's classic Pet Sematary (1989), a film undoubtedly about the cons of the trucking industry and the pros of fencing off your yard! Mike gives a few behind-the-scenes tidbits he learned from John Blake about working on the show with David Anderson and his father, Lance.

We paired it with the much talked about, highly popular, Bring Her Back (2025) from the immensely talented Philippou brothers. This ones a banga! There's some good little behind the scenes tidbits of things Mike learned from Larry Van Duynhoven who helmed the makeup with his team at Scarecrew
https://www.instagram.com/scarecrew_studios/
You can check his insta for some good Bring Her Back bits as well as some of the other things he and his Scarecrew are doing.
We also joke about taking the kindergarten teacher to the basement, and Tyler is live from Morocco. All this and more on this supersized episode!

It's our 25th episode, but it's all about the magic of the number 28. We are deeply engrossed in all things Danny Boyle, Alex Garland, and Sandra Bullock. We start with the original 28 Days Later and break it down. We have a Quiz! We begin with a spoiler-free portion of the new 28 Years Later, and we conclude it all with a bit of WTF did we just witness when we talk about the end everyone's chirping about? This episode has more zombie dongs than you can shake a stick at.

Hey Everyone! This time it's! The Amityville Horror (1979) more like Scammityville Borer...spoiler alert! And the more recent choice is the Spanish film Don't Listen (2020), also known as Voces in Europe. Don't Listen comes to us from one of our own Patreon supporters who continually suggested it until we gave in. Persistence is key kids! We're glad we finally listened! These two movies pair well together, and we think this is a fun episode! For some BTS pics from Don't Listen, check out the makeup FX team's Instagram, OXUM FX . There's a lot of cool stuff there.

They're here! This one's got a fantastic classic Poltergeist from the summer of (1982) and a new one, Presence (2025) that lots of folks have been talking about. Just wait till you hear James, Steven Soderbergh impersonation. It's spot on! Some good behind-the-scenes content about Poltergeist (I wish Craig Reardon had an Instagram account!). There's a bit about the "curse" of Poltergeist, and as usual, a lot of laughs were had.

This one's Looong. That's okay, we think most of you like that...In anticipation of our live show in Crystal Lake, Illinois, on Friday June 13th, we have pre-reviewed the movie we will be screening there. Friday the 13th Part 2 (1981) and a movie it pairs damn well with Finn Wolfhard's horror comedy, A Hell of a Summer (2025) This is a good way to kick off the summer for us here with some campy camp counselor slashing. If you're anywhere near Crystal Lake, Illinois, on Friday, June 13th, plan to come to the show. On Crystal Lake outside! There are some tickets at the gate, but pre-release is sold out. COME SEE US!
