Welcome to our 2023 Year End LIVE Wrap-Up!

Trashing Through Snow comes to a close with the Joe Dante horror-comedy Christmas classic, Gremlins! Despite being a huge success, this flick caught a lot of heat for being marketed as a kid friendly movie and ended up being deemed too scary according to some parents. If you ask us, those folks just need to grow a pair–of mogwai that is! Gremlins is the perfect gateway horror movie, and we'll stand by that! So, remember those three important rules, and don't buy your kids exotic pets because you just might end up with a gremlin in your house!

Seasons Bleedings, Dumpster Dwellers! I'ts Christmas time in the video dungeon once again for our annual Trashing Through the Snow festivities. This week, we're opening the fat man's sack and pulling out an early 70s gem of which just might be the first Christmas horror movie ever made! Sharpen up your axe, and whisper sweet nothings into that telephone receiver because we're about to inherit all of the horror of Silent Night, Bloody Night!

There's a full moon in the video dungeon this week, Dumpster Dwellers! We're exploring Neil Jordan's gothic horror fairytale that doles out the life lessons and the hurdles of coming of age. Does The Company of Wolves get werewolf lore right? Get hitched to a traveling man who's eyebrows meet in the middle and let's see who's hairy on the inside or not!

This week in in the video dungeon we're taking a look at a movie 16 years in the making! Originally part of the fake trailer showcase included in the Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez double feature event GRINDHOUSE, Thanksgiving promised us a glorious holiday slasher throwback with all the exploitation fixin's! Now we're talking turkey, but was Eli Roth's Thanksgiving worth the wait? Sharpen up that axe, and slip into your best Boston accent because it's time to set the table for THANKSGIVING!

Effect and CauseFormer hippie and free-spirited artist Kate Collins (Susan Strasberg), after discovering a sinister painting in her collection and reusing the canvas, discovers that the laws of cause and effect are beginning to operate in reverse. She further discovers that she can also alter reality itself at random, but when she begins losing control of her newfound powers, which she believes are the result of "bad karma" accumulated from erasing the painting, things build up to an explosive conclusion.

Written by Michael P. Kube-McDowell. Original Air Date: December 8, 1985

This week in the video dungeon we're talking about the Stuart Gordon helmed, Empire Pictures classic, DOLLS! Is Dolls the perfect fantasy horror film? Grab your mister punch doll, cozy up to the fireplace, and weather the storm through the longest night in the world with us while we find out!

Let’s play a game one more time, Dumpster Dwellers! Connor McGraw joins us this week for a special Dumpster trio reunion to talk about the ninth sequel, requel, smeequel in the John Kramer legacy. Nestling itself between SAW and SAW II, SAW X acts as an interstitial that weaves a questionable anti-hero storyline, showing a different side of John Kramer that we have never seen. The real lesson from this game is that if something is too good to be true, it probably is! Pack up your tool bags and trap blueprints because we're headed to Mexico for a miracle cure with SAW X!

We sit down with Jake McClellan, Adam Lenhart, and Eric Griffin to talk about their new movie, HeBGB TV! This one is bound to be a brand new Halloween classic! HeBGB TV is now streaming on Screambox so sign up now!

The crew quickly gets more than they bargained for after disturbing the ghost of Lady Mamiya, who is about to unleash the fury of a thousand angry mothers–She wants her baby back (ribs)! Debuting in 1989, Sweet Home marked the first time a video game and movie were made simultaneously to compliment each other as one entire story experience.

Directed by Michael Lehmann of "Heathers" fame, comes another satirical cult classic lost in the shuffle of the early 90s due to poor marketing and the collapse of New World Pictures. Join Dick, Jane, Sally, and Johnny as they try to navigate the American dream and the trials and tribulations of life as humans.

Smith with us to tell us all the differences from the book. What did John Carpenter keep for his adaptation and what did he change from John Steakley's 1990 novel, Vampire$? And why exactly is the book named Vampire Dollar Sign anyway?! Find all that and more, as we go Book to the Movie™!

16,000 feet below the ocean's surface, geologist Peter Weller is the court appointed captain of a ragtag group of precious metal miners. After Daniel Stern uncovers a safe inside of a nearby ship wreck, all hell breaks loose as a vodka-borne bio experiment starts infecting the crew, turning them into hideously deformed mutant fish monsters. Premiering the same year as James Cameron's The Abyss, this flick was unfortunately very poorly received as just some ripoff of Alien and The Thing underwater.

Strip down to your undies and slide into your compression suit because we are going toe to toe with the ultimate deep sea terror in LEVIATHAN.

Things quickly go south and it's up to Lisa, her boyfriend Justin (Don Mitchell), and some completely incompetent cops to stop Blacula's curse once and for all.

Will Pam Grier resist the vampires kiss and be able to cure Blacula via VooDoo? How much evidence is adequate to prove vampires exist? Why are these extra characters here except to beef up the kill count? Just exactly WTF happened with this horror movie?
