Dead And Lovely Horror Movie Podcast

023 Jurassic Park (1993)

It's time for another maverick move from Ben Eller and Steven Spratling: Jurassic Park! What keeps Jurassic Park from becoming a horror movie? Who is this movie about? Is this an island of man-hating lesbian dinosaurs?!

022 A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge (1985)

Ben Eller and Steven Spratling tangle with their first sequel, A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge. This is considered by some to be the gayest horror movie ever made. Is Freddy a representation of Jesse's homosexual desires? Is this Robert Englund's best performance as Freddy? Why have we never gotten a sequel about the were-Krueger?

021 Stephen King's IT (1990)

Ben Eller and Steven Spratling discuss the miniseries that made you afraid of clowns, Stephen King's IT (1990). We talk childhood fears, Stephen King's writing style, the new theatrical adaptation, and so much more. Come float with us!

020 Maniac (1980)

Joe Spinell in Maniac makes both Ben Eller and Steven Spratling uncomfortable. How did this depraved film come to be? What drives serial killer Frank Zito? Is this the prequel to Mannequin? (It has to be!)

019 Tales From The Darkside: The Movie (1990)

This week Ben Eller and Steven Spratling focus on the anthology film version of the anthology horror TV show Tales from The Darkside. Can Steven convince Ben to watch some anthology horror TV? How well do the segments of this movie come together? Are mummies scary? (Not really)

018 The Evil Dead (1981)

The Evil Dead was filmed not far from where Ben Eller and Steven Spratling grew up, so nostalgia takes over a few times in this episode. Where does Bruce Campbell's swagger come from? What's up with the humor? Should you go try and check out the cabin? (No. It burned down, it's private property and there's really nothing to see.)

017 Final Destination (2000)

Ben Eller and Steven Spratling have a lot to say about the movie that Final Destination isn't. How much did the script change from X-Files spec script to 90s teen-horror clone? What is really killing these teenagers? Is there a worse song than the one that plays over the closing credits? (If you think so, prove it!)

016 Halloween (1978)

John Carpenter created the American slasher film in 1978 with Halloween. That's just a fact. What makes it great? What can we say that no one else has? Why is Steve into Winnie Poohing? (Why aren't you?)

015 House of the Devil (2009)

In the 1980s, a bunch of people worried that Satanism was the real problem in the world. Those people were idiots who ruined a lot of lives. House of the Devil asks the question, "What if they were right?!" Were the 80s the worst decade? Did teenagers only eat pizza back then? Is this movie utra-super awesome? (We think so)

014 Night Of The Living Dead (1968)

As a tribute to one of our favorite directors, George Romero, we discussed his genre-defining zombie horror film Night of the Living Dead. In what ways did George Romero change the way we see the world? How much does Duane Jones change this film? Can we go one episode without mentioning Tom Savini? (Probably not)
