Coffin Fodder

As we continue our journey around the sun, we return this week to discuss Robert Eggers' spooky gothic horror masterpiece, Nosferatu. Which of the three versions is the best, what distinguishes the latest version, and how hard the cast goes in their performances are all up for discussion. Join us as we head to Transylvania to Drac it up once again.

Can you believe it, friends? It's officially been 1 year since we started this spooky little show. With that fact in mind, we've got another banner classic from the horror catalogue with Steven Spielberg and Tobe Hooper's haunted house romp, Poltergeist. Have we ever seen any other movies where the ghosties can warp reality? Is this one of the most annoying on-screen families we've ever met? And just how many bodies are gonna come busting out of shit wood when this movie really pops off at the end? Tune in to find out.

On this week's dreamy spinetingler, we're hitting up another gold-star classic with Wes Craven's seminal slasher, A Nightmare on Elm Street. Yes, this is indeed the first appearance of honorary horror staple Robert Englund as the increasingly clownish killer, Sir Frederick Krueger. However, despite the occasional bouts of silliness, Freddy is still pretty terrifying in his first go. Stay tuned for two of the all-time great inventive 80s kills and the first appearance of Johnny Depp on the silver screen.

On our third business casual episode, we sit down to chat about the thin line between horror and non-horror as we discuss movies that still feel like they're in the horror genre, even though they're not technically. Requiem For A Dream, The Abyss, Lords of Chaos, There Will Be Blood, and many more make appearances.

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.
