Do you remember how the world ended? No? Funny, it was supposed to implode when the clocks switched to the year 2000. Instead, what imploded was our faith in Arnold Schwarzenegger’s ability to carry an R-rated action picture when he signed onboard END OF DAYS! Only Patrick and Gena have the guts to celebrate this movie’s 25th anniversary and attempt to explain what in the living hell is happening here. That means Kill By Kill is digging into the film’s cursed production history, considering Satan’s HR problems, witnessing massive fart fights, visiting Vatican City Orlando, whipping up a “floor pizza” smoothie, and meeting our newest least-favorite character: Bobby Chicago!! All this, plus rattlesnake baptisms, flaming pee, too many scrolls, boiled grandmas, Limp Bizkit-shunting threeways, and a devilishly involved edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure! Never has an apocalypse looked so inviting and made less sense.

Did we like Robert Egger’s NOSFERATU? Let us Count the ways!! That’s right, the moment we’ve waited for all year has arrived as we talk about bad real estate deals, depressing beaches, Albert Potato, nude virgins on horseback, and Count Orlock’s unique love language as we stake 2024 in the heart!! All this, plus more bad vampire planners, ladies with too much blood, the ultimate Dark Web, and a very chest-sucking heavy edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure!!

And don’t worry… we do “the voice.” Like, a lot.

Welcome to The Manor, everyone! It’s time to talk about the most dismissively talked about movie of 2019/2020 - THE HUNT!! Here to help ungag us on the subject and discover what’s really going on is actor/filmmaker Clarke Wolfe (Malum, A Shining Example)! Along the way, we dig into the semi-cursed nature of the film’s development and release, worship at the alter of Betty Gilpin, unpack the film’s warped political spectrum and avoidance of class warfare!! All this, plus dueling Raaaandys, social media rage activators, Barry Keoghan’s career post-Sabrena, and export a new edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure!! The rumors are true - this is the first Kill By Kill of 2025!!

Do you believe in Black Christmas miracles? We sure do!! This episode was a twisted, mangled mess akin to a dirty phone call involving Billy and Agnes - but the Grinch who encoded our audio incorrectly grew an enlarged heart (he should get that checked out), and our blood-drenched holidays were saved! With no further ado, we present our in-depth conversation about the seminal photo-slasher classic, BLACK CHRISTMAS, for its 50th anniversary with our guest, author, and video essayist, Scout Tafoya!! What else does Santa have in his magic bag? Synthesizer psychos, Bravo network horror activators, Steve Martin: Slasher Fan, and we dig into why a half-century-old film can still be so ahead of its time!! All this, plus which character in the film is a Drinkenstein, Patrick defends Porky’s 2 for some reason, Gena defines the “It’s Miller Time” ending, and we give you the gift of Choose Your Own Deathventure!!

NOTE: Thank you to the good people at Simplecast who were able to unwind the tracks and recode the audio otherwise this episode would be lost entirely. You may notice to artifacts of this manipulation, some hissing that I couldn’t eliminate entirely, and references to sections of conversation that could not be rescued. My apologies in advance.

"Wait... this isn't the Black Christmas episode I was promised," you're saying to yourself and yelling at passersby. Well, when you're right, you're right! Due to an otherworldly technical audio snafu, that nearly two-hour episode cannot be presented today. But we still wanted to get you, our loyal listener, something. And so we present a hilarious Patreon bonus episode we think you'll love: 1986's MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE!! It's certainly something! You love Uncle Steve, we LOVE Uncle Steve - but we can all agree that Stephen King's talents lie primarily on the page, and this bombastic, AC/DC-filled smash-up is proof. Along the way, we discuss films you can smell, death by watermelon, onscreen kid murder, crediting cocaine as the director, and trying desperately - and failing - to understand the rules here!! All that, plus slanderous ATMs, high-volume screeching, too much sweat, and a diesel-powered edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure!! The Beam of this universe to the Dark Tower may be broken here, but that doesn't mean we can't have fun as the world goes to hell. Happy Holidays, everybody!!

It’s Friday the 13th, people!! And that could only mean one thing: an under-seen teen bully flick from Sean S. Cunningham? That’s right, we’ve hit the bottom of the barrel for Jason-related content and have now slid into Mr. Cunningham’s lesser efforts, 1985’s Army brats vs. bully flick, THE NEW KIDS! Along the way, we talk about parentless towns, multiple sleepwalking performances, a surprisingly wet microfiche scene, and one of the cinema’s least memorable “Grand Opening/Grand Closing” performances!! All this, plus a gold star teen bedroom set decoration, witness someone sexually harassing their child, consider the titular fanatic, shake with fear at a goose scare, and end with a jolting edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure! If you don’t listen to this episode, you’ll be sorry. Actually, you’ll be fine, but we’d love for you to listen anyway.

Sit down, and I’ll tell you a tale about a sad guy who gets bit by another guy, but it doesn’t make him happy - just an undead hottie drinking rat juice until the second guy bites a little girl to solve their relationship problems and… you know, I should let the 1994 Anne Rice adaption INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE fill in the details!! That’s right, we’re celebrating this monumental gothic blockbuster for its 30th anniversary with the help of writer/actor Gregory Lay (Greg in LA)!! Along the way, we explore the nearly 20 years it took to get Interview on bookshelves, through the studio system, and onto the big screen, learn what Cher would have done with the Louie role, discover why Brad Pitt called the shoot, “Six months in f#^%ing darkness, and worship at the alters of Antonio Banderas and Kirsten Dunst!! All this, plus we ask who squeezes the best rats in town, think about what makes a good eternal life partner, give Neil Jordan his props, solve some problems with fire, and sink our teeth into the immortal game of Choose Your Own Deathventure!!

We’ve heard the call, and it’s coming from inside our idyllic Bavarian Alps resort! That’s right, we’re checking in on another recent Neon release, the daffy and disturbing CUCKOO!! Don’t worry - we’ve got a non-spoiler reaction upfront before we pipe in with our in-depth reactions to the movie, including how we like to “Porky Pig-it” in the hotel lobby, the “horror” of blended families, appreciate Jazz flute control, consider Dan Stevens’ best Weird Little Guy roles, and make a few Crimson Rivers comparisons!! All this, plus we worship at the alter of Hunter Schaffer, we open up about some bad hotel stays, two good sisters, nominate terrible people we’d like to see get juiced like an orange in outer space and bring you a tuneful edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure!! Make a nest and listen to an all-new Kill By Kill today!!
