More like Jason BORE-hees, am I right fellas?

We return to Camp Crystal lake for the third time to round out the ‘Paramount era’ of Friday the 13th fims with 7th and 8th films in franchise.

7: The New Blood, has Jason Vorhees take on a psychic. While 8: Jason Takes Manhattan, finally sees the horror icon leave Crystal Lake for the big city. Jason Vs 'Carrie'! Jason Vs NY gangs! With killer concepts like that, these films can’t lose! Can they?

In this episode

  • Jason gets used to the water
  • Bad psychic battle tactics
  • Confusing timelines
  • Confusing travel times
  • Negligent electrical companies
  • And perhaps the biggest question of all, can Chris bear to watch any more of this film series?

Allen and Chris bring to life a monster of a podcast

James Whale’s two horror staples cemented Universal as the home of monster films, made Boris Karloff a superstar and gave us some of the most eduring images in horror. The two oldest films we’ve looked at so far but what films.

In this episode

  • Keeping that running time low
  • When are these film’s set?
  • Groovy intros
  • Undead chicks
  • How sane are you?
  • Colin Clive’s raspy voice
  • Elsa Lanchester’s iconic ‘Bride’
  • The queer subtext of Frankenstein
  • The other film going on in Frankenstein
  • We query the Scientific method of Dr. Pretorius
  • A new sponsor!
  • And we talk about jerking it. A lot.
