Reilly Vamps Out

Reilly to vamp out in Cirque de FreakThough I seriously doubt it’s anything close to what one would call hardcore horror, John C. Reilly as a vampire is not the kind of thing we get to report on every day, so how could we pass this up:?

The versatile actor has just signed on for the lead vampire in Paul Weitz’ Cirque du Freak for Universal, according to Daily Variety. The film is the first in a series adapted from an award-winning young adult books (wow, what a novel concept!) that follows a vampire who drafts a 14-year-old to serve as his assistant. The boy becomes a half-vamp and a catalyst in a war between vampires and Vampanese, whatever the hell those are.

The series spans 12 books, though I seriously doubt the films will as well. I guess the level of camp in this will really determine if it’s something we’ll be reporting on again, but man I can’t wait to see Reilly don a set of fangs!

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.
