On our 112th show I am filling a long time request from three very determined individuals to get Horror 101 to cover Neil Marshall’s Dog Soldiers from 2002. A six man military squad are setup as bait for a pack of werewolves and must hold out till morning in a secluded farm house in the Scottish Isles. Six soldiers. Full moon. With absolutely no chance. This is basically Aliens, Predator and Night of the Living Dead thrown into a blender with werewolves. I now have a new appreciation for this film after putting this show together. With special guest Brian ‘Horky’ Horvath. Join us for one of the most vivacious podcasts we’ve ever released.

Leaping from one vampire from to another, this time we’re covering an obscure 80s movie. An surreal, nightmarish journey into urban vampirism with an odd combination of horror and comedy. For this 111th episode we’re giving the Horror 101 treatment to Richard Wenk’s Vamp.

On our 110th episode we revisit David Slade’s 30 Days of Night. Original concept by Steve Niles and made with Evil Dead money, this film brought back the savage, vicious vampire. Danny Huston leads a pack of hungry undead who coordinate an apocalyptic feeding frenzy on a northern town during their 30 days with no sunshine.

Last show we featured April Fool’s Day from 1986, starring Deborah Foreman. She’s going to be featured again in this 1988 film which also stars Zach Galligan from Gremlins and the legendary David Warner. There have been countless House of Wax type horror films since the dawn of cinema. In 1988 writer/director Anthony Hickox gave us his very first feature film which was his take on this subgenre. It was a hidden gem for me when I first found it on the VHS shelf 30 years ago. It is rarely showed a lot of love in the horror community and for that reason we are going to spend this podcast giving the horror 101 treatment to Waxwork.

APRIL FOOLS!! Welcome back to the Horror 101 podcast. This recording session was like nothing we’ve ever captured before. My crew hated the film we’re about to review. The vitriol and spite against me for suggesting this film is over the top. If you haven’t seen this film yet please watch it first cause there will be ending spoilers right out of the gate. Join us as we give the Horror 101 treatment to Fred Walton’s April Fool’s Day from 1986.

On this episode we are going to tip our hats to our homeland. In 2008 director Bruce McDonald gave us a low budget and very different take on the mass infection outbreak horror subgenre. As you may or may not know this show comes to you from Ontario Canada. And this little gem is set in a small Ontario town just a few hours drive from here. Now, a lot of movies are shot in Canada but not a whole lot are SET in Canada and with this being so close to home and the fact that we’ve received more than a few hints from our listers to cover it, we’ve decided to give the Horror 101 treatment to Pontypool.

We’re going to start the year by focusing on a Scott Spiegel film from 1989. Now if that name sounds familiar its because Spiegel co-wrote Evil Dead 2 with Sam Raimi. This is a cheese filled slasher that came WAY late in the game. It is, essentially most of the crew that gave us Evil Dead 2 returning to give us an ultra low budget last hurrah of 80s gory goodness. We hope you enjoy as we give the Horror 101 treatment to Intruder

Our final Horror 101 episode of this foul year 2020 and our last show for our Haunted Place Theme.

You know we’re fans of the one set, one night survival horror films and we wanted to focus on a fairly recent chiller that might have flown under your radar. Imagine a supernatural retelling of Carpenter’s Assault on Precinct 13 with nods to several other great horror films and thats what you’re in for this show. Join us as we give the Horror 101 Treatment to Anthony DiBlasi’s Last Shift.
