Grab your backpack, snacks, flashlight & a map (ok, just bring your cell) and visit the lovely countryside just beyond the historic village of Burkittsville. This week we're hiking downstream and still getting lost in this post-grunge viral internet sensation that ignited the found footage subgenre. Heather, Josh, & Mike deserve all the love (and $$$$) for their role in this flick's success. The Blair Witch Project takes filmmaking (and arts and crafts) to a fun, creepy, and intrusive place ..read more

It's splatter time! We're talkin' the energetically fun & frightening Italian gore galore with Lamberto Bava's terror at the Metropol. This is NOT the 1985 Doc and Marty were hoping for.

Plenty of Italian horror history within this ep folks! Enjoy ..read more

Some great Hammer alum throughout this one that is light on kills but still fun. Enjoy (and leave those rats alone ..read more

Hey DFM fam! We kick off the first Friday in April with what many have called The black sheep of werewolf films. Well, we'd like to speak to the manager about that assessment! Is this really a werewolf film? There are some obvious nods to that subgenre, but Wolfen has unique native lore we dig. Given the history of the filmmakers it is no surprise that there is visual appeal with this urban decay/police procedural/horror-thriller mashup. And that cast ..read more

Yay! Another bonus ep! Carrie returns for a solo mini-chat about one of her 2016 film festival faves: It Stains the Sands Red - a character-driven zombie flick about survival, redemption, and well . . .that time of the month. Demon-ette chats the main character's struggles to escape the relentless pursuit of a lone undead figure, finding herself confronted not only by the isolated horrors of the expansive and unforgiving desert, but also by her own life choices ..read more

Hey again DFM fam! It's bonus episode time! We zoom'd with Jake the Midnight Traveler and his friend, Joseph Fotinos.

He shares his love for Universal monsters, Amicus produced films, and his days working with Fangoria. Did we mention he's a University of Texas film professor!?

Welcome to Episode 50! Our two younger horror fans, Zombie Toots and Ghostly Puppers, joined us this week! Together, we dive into the macabre of the chrome kind via John Carpenter's flick based on the Stephen King page-turner.

Oh we cannot wait much longer for Evil Dead Rise! In Episode 10’s Comfy Horror movie review, DFM discusses Carrie and Jake’s favorite franchise entry, Army of Darkness, which is the least horror-ish and often loved by fantasy and action flick lovers too. We’ll also discuss the 3rd Linda, played by an actress that is married to someone that created a track for the Army of Darkness soundtrack, and offer up casting suggestions like oh say, Sean Connery – yes, we all need him to read an Army of Darkness novelization – or – the Necronomicon itself! ?We’d be remiss if we didn’t discuss the franchise ..read more
