Episode 115 – Bloodsuckers from Outer Space (1984)

Just you wait and see what obscure and unexpected surprises Troy and Roger have in store for all of you with this next gem. That’s right, the boys are taking a sharp left turn and heading into uncharted territory as they brace themselves for a review of the 1984 “classic” Bloodsuckers From Outer Space. The gays are going in blind, and they probably wish they were after being exposed to this mess of a movie. Prepare yourselves as they dive deep into all things “Bloodsucker” related, including the fact that nobody in this film can get through a full line of dialogue, the obvious fact that gusts of wind are not scary, the wig that sits atop Aunt Kate’s head, and Troy’s sheer disdain for this title which makes this review all the more entertaining for everyone involved. Well, everyone but Troy that is! So huff some laughing gas and tune into this episode before the boys decide drop a nuclear bomb on your hometown, because it’s time for an explosive new episode!

Episode 113 – Thir13en Ghosts (2001)

Never fear, queers! Troy and and Roger are back and better than ever as they prepare to dive into the early 2000s Dark Castle offering Thir13en Ghosts, a remake of the 1960s classic! And boy oh boy, you all are in for a real treat as this is one of Rogers favorite films from that era, but the question is whether or not this movie holds up? The only way you’re going to find the answer to that is by entering the mansion of Cyrus Kriticos and unleashing the ghosts that dwell inside! Join these fabulous gays as they strip down naked and strut down hallways wearing nothing but latex wounds and a butcher knife as they chat about all sorts of things! We’re talking some of the best ghost designs we’ve seen to date, Matthew Lillard looking fine as hell in a turtleneck, a roughly 47 year old Shannon Elizabeth playing a girl with the mental capacity of a pre-teen, and that timeless classic “Mirror Mirror” as performed by Rah Digga! You know the one! It’s a classic! Get ready to stab your ears out as the closing credits role, because it’s another kickass episode of Dark Night of the Podcast!

Episode 111 – Xtro (1982)

The boys know that their fans love it when dip their delicate toes into the world of obscure horror, and this title is definitely one title that checks off all the boxes. Bizarre and completely unexpected, if there’s one title that fans absolutely need to experience prior to listening to their review, it’s fucking Xtro. No idea what the hell Xtro actually means or what it stands for, but its a film that boasts an array of surprisingly fantastic practical effects, a plethora of elegant accents, highly unanticipated plot developments that come out of fucking nowhere, a surprise cameo appearance from the tequila worm from Poltergeist 2 but with legs, and a woman birthing literally birthing a grown man on her kitchen floor. It literally gives you everything you want, a few things you don’t, and so much more than you could ever anticipate from a movie with such an awful title. Now sit your asses down and find this movie before you listen to yet another fabulous episode!

Episode 110 – High Tension (2003)

It’s there’s one thing we know about the boys of Dark Night of the Podcast, it’s that they love themselves a proper, masculine, truck-driving lesbian! And few lesbians read quite as lesbianic as the androgynous and truly badass Marie from the ever-divisive 2003 French gore-fest High Tension. This early Alexandre Aja title has caused much contention amongst horror fans and for good reason; it throws a serious curveball at its viewers that has led to many a raised eyebrow and plenty of room for debate. But controversies aside, this movie also offers viewers some truly intense moments of drawn out suspense, a cement saw vs a car windshield, a man receiving oral pleasures from a decapitated head, and one of the best executions of a throat cutting to date. What’s not to like?! The tension is high this week over at Dark Night of the Podcast, and that’s exactly how Troy and Roger like it!
