The Weinsteins Looking to Bring Their Horrors BackSay what you will about The Weinstein Company, the bottom line is that they have their hands firmly gripped upon some of horror’s top franchises, and they’ve always done their best to be kind to the genre. True, some efforts have been better than others, but you have to take the bad with the good, man! That being said, when news broke of their financial woes, we were all pretty saddened that our favorite franchises could be drowning in hot water, but it seems as if Bob and Harvey just may be on the rebound!

In a recent article over at The Hollywood Reporter, the brothers reveal that plans are still under way for remakes of Hellraiser and Children of the Corn along with sequels to Scary Movie and Halloween.

They’re not out of the woods just yet, though, as a lot is riding on the box office tallies for Piranha 3D, which opens on August 20th in more than 2,000 domestic theaters with a marketing campaign of about $30 million. Apparently TWC has been able to book the number of 3D screens it needs.

Bring it on, guys! We’re rooting for ya!

Episode 268: Mind Body Spirit Filmmkers Alex Henes and Matt Merenda and The Brave Little Toaster (1987)
This week we're joined by Alex Henes and Matt Merenda, the filmmakers behind the yoga-horror found footage film Mind Body Spirit, which is available on demand and streaming on Shudder and AMC+. We chat about Sarah J. Bartholomew's fantastic performance, the script and more before diving into their childhoods and their very different reactions to horror as a kid. Then we chat about The Brave Little Toaster and how it destroyed all four of our childhoods. Anthropomorphic appliances, self-cannibalism, religion...this movie has it all and we laugh our way through describing just how messed up it actually is.

Ep. 347 Smile 2: “The Tale of Schmorgashbords, Part 1”
Ket tells Kim about the highly requested and truly terrifying Smile 2. This left Ketryn truly shooketh and gave The Substance a run for its money in grotesque-ness. It was simply a smorgasbord of gore and the first time in podcast history that Ket is the one who can’t quite say a word. Stay tuned for part 2 to find out what type of pants Kim needs for this one.Writer/Dir.
