Burning down the Dream House
On this, the absolute newest episode of The Horror Movie Show — with your sadly neglected hosts Jerry & Mark — discussions are held regarding the Hollywood blockbuster Dream House, with Daniel Craig, Rachel Weisz and Naomi Watts. What is going on? Are there no American actors for hire? Also discussed: Samuel L. Jackson slums it in The Arena; drug addicts give birth to monstrous child-things in Hidden 3D; and the very fine Love shines down upon our troubled planet. Mark & Jerry also blether about the new TV series Alcatraz. And check out the extraordinary art of Alison Lilly.
And for those few listeners who don’t enjoy the political commentary — Newt Gingrich‘s head looks like it might hatch out some sort of Godzilla-like reptile creature — you are now past it. Thank you for your patience.

Werewolves with zits
Good day to everyone out there in Cyberland! We here at The Horror Movie Show have begun the year with a bang (we exploded our old accountant; he’d been taking a third smoke break so he had to go) and a series of devastating karate chops that effectively eliminated all the deadwood in our magnificently resplendent offices here on the penthouse floors of the fabulous Splutt Building, located closer than you think.
As to the movies reviewed this week by Mark & Jerry, your savage & unnatural hosts, we have a rather mixed or mongrel collection. We begin with The Howling: Reborn. This flick is aimed at the same youngsters and multi-feline owners as the Twilight series, so be warned. The made-for-TV film Doomsday Prophecy is discussed. And we end this episode with a review of Dog Soldiers, an excellent werewolf movie from 2002, recommended by a listener of our very own Horror Movie Show (thanks!). Hope that’s meaty enough for you all to bury your gorey fangs.

A New Year of horror begins…
And we’re not even including the further Republican idiocies that will be foisted upon us. Turn your hearing aid off now.
Happy 2012 to all our various listeners, fans, evil-wishers & assorted halflings! We here at The Horror Movie Show sincerely hope that you all had a wonderful Xmas, etc. and are ready to face the coming year with verve and the sort of cockeyed optimism displayed by Billy Mumfries in that MS Elaine was supposed to read.
This, of course, is all beside the point: in this latest episode, Jerry & Mark are ready to “fill you in” on a newish television series out of the Excited States via the Flaming Pit of Hell. American Horror Story is not the only horror series on TV at the moment — haha, it is to laugh — but at least it doesn’t focus on teenagers and their need to suck. Blood, I mean. As well, your poor, put-upon hosts have been forced to watch Paranormal 3, arguably the worst sequel made to a movie so bad it doesn’t deserve a single sequel. It deserves only condemnation & scorn. Heap it on there, people.
Also reviewed: the lacklustre A Haunting in Salem and 11-11-11, an interestingly downplayed horror flick. That’s a nice change. Happy new year!

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!
