Listen on:

In a tough break for the underrated Silent Night, Deadly Night, it needs to beat A Nightmare on Elm Street to advance. Did you know these two movies came out on the very same day in 1984? Eerie...

In this remake-laden Part 2 of the pod, the 2005 House of Wax squares off with Sorority Row (2009) and the 2019 Child’s Play reimagining faces a formidable foe in Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives (the only one of those so far).

In this March Madmen matchup, the Bob Clark classic Black Christmas (1974) is compared to another vintage slasher, Terror Train (1980), starring Jamie Lee Curtis. Spoiler: Terror Train is not as good. But that doesn't mean we can't have fun talking about it!

How does Rob Zombie’s Halloween 2 stack up against Tobe Hooper’s Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2? Is Johannes Roberts’ The Strangers Prey at Night better than Jordan Peele’s Us? These are the kinds of questions this podcast sets out to answer. But that doesn’t mean the Madmen always agree. And they sure don’t this time…

MARCH MADMEN
From the co-creator of the Xs & Ys Podcast comes an in-depth but light-hearted look at horror movies! MARCH MADMEN is a podcast that aims to answer the question, "what is the greatest horror movie ever made?" Set up like a ghastly imitation of the NCAA basketball tournament, we pair films in a series of death matches to see which one reigns supreme in each subgenre of horror. Season One of our macabre competition focused on the HAUNTED HOUSE movie. Season Two attacked the SLASHER genre. Now, 32 ZOMBIE MOVIES must go head to head, two by two, until we've voted on every pairing. Expect heated debates, drinking games, semi-serious film criticism, and lots of laughs. Of course, as our long-time listeners have come to expect, in the later rounds each film will receive a loving but THOROUGH autopsy...
Featuring script analyst John Evans, screenwriter Vikram Weet ("Devil's Pass"), and author Luke Merrick.
