Hostel III teaches viewers lessons
And so we come to the turning of the year and the hopes & dreams of 2012 are now upon us, whether we like it or not…. Let’s face facts: the New Year has already been written off by a lot of people who claim to know The End Is Nigh. Or are these people simply insane in the brain? Quite possibly. In any case, here is the latest episode of The Horror Movie Show. In this hour-long rantfest are discussions by our beloved hosts, Mark & Jerry, of the third instalment in the Hostel series of nasty videos, a review of In Time starring Justin Timberlake and that young lady with the prominent eyeballs, discussion of both Ninjas Vs. Zombies & Ninjas Vs. Vampires. And finally a lively discussion of the low-grade horror comedy Orcs! (the exclamation mark is part of the title; it’s not like I’m particularly excited about the flick).
So that’s it for 2011. Hope all our loyal listeners had a great year & are up for wild times in the coming 12-month period. Stay in touch.

Seasoned greetings to all
With the year grinding inexorably to its noisy, greasy conclusion, The Horror Movie Show (with your harried hosts Jerry & Mark) presents its Second Annual Christmas Horror Movie Spectacular. Yes, at no additional cost to you, our valued & deranged listeners, we present a discussion of Xmas-themed video nasties. After having mentioned these last year, your hosts did manage to dig up some half-rotted copies of these movies — Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale, Saint and Silent Night, Zombie Night.
We here at The Horror Movie Show are grateful for all those who have stuck with us over the last year. Let’s hope that we get a few more laughs as the world wobbles ever closer to The Final Armageddon (probably due end of May 2012). Merry Xmas, Happy New Year, Cheery Hanukkah, Crazy-fun Kwanzaa, and more to all!

Straw Dogs remake mostly unnecessary
On this episode of The Horror Movie Show, with your moaning & complaining hosts Mark & Jerry, the remake of the 1971 flick Straw Dogs is front & centre, followed by Martha Marcy Mae Marlene, the rather ragged Puppet Monster Massacre, the empty Coffin and the humorous Deadheads (no, not a movie about Jerry Garcia returning to life). With Xmas & the other holy-days now upon us, we here at The Horror Movie Show & hmpod.com wish you & yours a satisfactory holiday. Don’t step on any Xmas balls.

On the road again
It seems that Mr. Mark Elf‘s sojourn in an Alternate Universe will continue for another column’s worth of spellbinding oddness and psychological mayhem. In a world where men are women and the reverse is also true, in an Alien Time Bubble wafting on the wild Chronological Tidal Waves, in a Hellish wasteland not fit for any Astrologer, Mr. Elf is stranded. His only hope is to convince some horny guy who works for a matter dematerialization & materialization company to pay for his drinks. Uh-oh.

Another video nasty
There have been plenty of Hellraiser movies, Clive Barker‘s massively popular celebration of the sadistic and horrid. The latest is another disappointment in a series that started strongly and is now little more than a cheap money-grab. There are plenty of better movies out there.
Other flicks mentioned in this all-too-brief episode include Escapee, with Prison Break‘s Dominic Purcell as a murdering maniac (can’t be bad…); Repeaters, a rather more serious version of the Groundhog Day idea starring teenagers; and The Woman, writer-director Lucky McKee‘s parable of repressed sex & violence in American Suburbia. Have fun!
