For our 50th episode, we’re heading to Mexico to discuss Herencia Diabólica (1993), a bizarre killer clown movie and Child’s Play ripoff.

With questionable effects, bizarre dream sequences, and some truly wild moments, this forgotten horror oddity may not be great, but it’s definitely entertaining.

Sometimes a ridiculous horror ripoff is exactly what you need, and this is one of them.

We’re switching things up a bit in this episode and sharing our Top 10 Friday the 13th kills — the moments that made Jason Voorhees one of horror’s most iconic slashers.

Originally recorded during a format experiment we never continued, this one sat unreleased… until now.

What’s your favorite Friday kill from the franchise?

Episode 47 focuses on High Tension (Haute Tension) and its place in early 2000s French extreme cinema. We talk about the film itself, what makes it so intense, and why it stood out at the time.

The conversation touches on the French Extreme era as a whole and how that movement shifted the tone of modern horror toward something harsher and more confrontational. We also get into Alexandre Aja, where High Tension fits in his career, and how its influence carried forward into later horror films.

It’s a movie that still sparks debate, and we break down why it continues to get strong reactions years later.

We’re closing out January Giallo with 5 Dead on the Crimson Canvas, a rare American Giallo homage shot on Super-8 on Long Island in 1996. Directed by Joseph F. Parda and starring Joe Zaso, this micro-budget slasher channels Argento and Bava with a black-gloved killer, stylized violence, and raw DIY energy. We dig into its history, shot-on-video survival, and why this hidden Giallo gem deserves more attention.

January Giallo starts with Dario Argento’s Tenebrae. In Episode 45, we break down why it still hits so hard today, from the visuals and set pieces to the brutal kills and iconic score. If you love Italian horror, you’re in the right place.

We’re back with another entry in the Ninja November lineup and this time we’re talking about the wild, supernatural ride that is Ninja III: The Domination.

We cover the film’s biggest moments, the stunt work, the FX, and why this one still stands out for fans of Sho Kosugi and Cannon Films.

A group of mercenaries steals millions and ends up on a cursed farm patrolled by the undead. Scarecrows (1988) is a dark, mean-spirited slice of ’80s horror packed with grim atmosphere and killer practical effects by Norman Cabrera. A brutal, forgotten gem that deserves more attention.
