Coffin Fodder

We have a very British episode for you this week as we throw back a few cheeky pints at The Winchester and talk Edgar Wright's blood splattered comedy-horror, Shaun of the Dead. This is certainly our lewdest episode yet, but I imagine Simon Pegg and Nick Frost would consider that a badge of honor anyway. 

We return to the interstellar spaces one more time for this week's episode, Aliens. How does James Cameron manage to make the most incredible, ass-kicking sequels in sci-fi horror history? And why do they all have Michael Biehn? Get ready to be ripped in half and still save the girl as we jump into this gnarly action horror film. 

We’ve got another all-timer for you this week on Coffin Fodder as we have a wee chat about Ridley Scott’s science fiction horror film Alien. This has to be the first use of the cat jump scare in a horror movie, right? And damned if the design of the Xenomorph doesn’t totally rule. Just pay no attention to Mr. Milk Blood over there, though. He promises that he’s not up to anything.

This week on Coffin Fodder, the good time action horror vibes continue with Adam Wingard's absolute blast of his acclaimed sleeper hit, The Guest. Watch as Dan Stevens just aura farms for an entire movie. Marvel as Maika Monroe tries desperately not to get horny for him. And finally, crank the volume all the way up for that gnarly ass soundtrack. This episode is 100% "For David." 

This week, we're getting weird and wild with the late '90s action horror time capsule, Blade. This was before The Matrix, before X-Men, and loooooooong before the MCU started. It's got a lot of cheese, but damn it if this isn't a great time at the movies. Wesley Snipes, Stephen Dorff, and Donal Logue are having a blast. Plus, we've got Kris Kristofferson as Whistler. Fun ass movie, and a fun ass episode to boot. 

This week on our dangerously religious show, we go to a weird little island of cultists for some existential dread and relentless body horror with Gareth Evans' 2018 gothic folk horror, Apostle.

This week on Coffin Fodder, we're going back to the old days, the bad days, the all-or-nothing days as we slip down the rabbit hole to talk about David Fincher's true crime epic, Zodiac. Was Arthur Leigh Allen really the Zodiac Killer? And how to lose your life to a killer without dying. We play a little fast and loose this week to talk about this incredibly dense horror thriller. 

If you've been out there in the wild hearing the term chud and wondering where it came from, you're in luck. This cheesy creature feature from the mid-80s is the source. It's about sewer mutants that eat people, but despite its low budget tomfoolery, it has a lot more to say than you might expect. Tune in and get chudded with us for this very silly episode of the show. 

Another week, another spook. This week on the show, we wonder what's at the heart of M. Night Shyamalan's 2023 faith-based thriller, Knock at the Cabin. Should they have kept the title and ending from the book this is based on? And why is a movie about religious terror so toothless in its approach to violence? We talk about the ups and downs of a flawed but generally good movie. 

On this week's episode of Coffin Fodder, we're doing our next casual topic as we do a deep dive into the relationship between horror in both video games and film. We're talking about which adaptations work and which ones fall flat, upcoming games and movies that have us excited, and what horror looks like today.
