However, here we are, doing Horror Anthologies for all of October (these will run into November, don't worry!) We kick off this month with a couple of picks from Dehart. He chose Tales From The Crypt and its "sequel", The Vault Of Horror. In this episode, you'll hear us rehash the first time we heard classic stories, we bring up The Simpsons every five minutes, and we talk about Pazuzu's annoying cousin, Kazoozu.

This week we honor Joel Mengel by going through Halloween: The Curse Of Michael Myers, but specifically the Producer's cut. We're also going through Spring's pick, The Killing Box/Grey Knight/Ghost Brigade/Lost Brigade. In this episode, we wonder why the hell a movie has four titles, we talk about what we'd hate the most about being Santa, and discuss how done we are with the Michael Myers bullshit. Enjoy!

In this episode, you'll hear us give a job to a random pop culture icon, Cheats talks about how much "Cheats-Bait" Jeremy Renner is, and for once, Famke Janneson doesn't poop the party. Enjoy!

He picks Van Helsing from 2004, which sucks...no pun intended, and one of the most 90's stink movies we've reviewed, Buffy The Vampire Slayer. In this episode, you'll hear us decide on our favorite movie vampires, Cheats tries to defend Van Helsing to no avail,  and we all agree on how creepy Donald Sutherland is. Enjoy!

Philip, Dehart, Robert and myself go through Deathbed: The Bed That Eats as well as work out the kinks with the 80's horror film, Death Spa(Witch Bitch...?) In this episode you will hear us select the most frightening house-hold items, we discuss the dangers of forgetting that you made a movie, and decide that "Witch Bitch" might be the worst name ever for a movie.

MPM: S04/E13 - The Devil's Eyes

John Carpenter's Halloween | Halloween - Happy Halloween to everyone from Motion Picture Meltdown! To go along with your trick or treating, Mark, Philip, and myself have a great special Halloween episode in store for you! We've gone back to 1978 to depict one of the most inspiring and staple horror flicks of all time, Jon Carpenter's Halloween, as well as go into great comparison and description between it and Rob Zombie's Halloween from 2007. In this episode, we talk about the scare factor of the unknown versus the known background of a serial killer, we compare motive to no motive, and not only do some harping on Rob Zombie's forced vulgarity, but also some natural harping on Cheats. Enjoy!
