Four Forgettable Flicks: HEADHUNTER: THE ASSESSMENT WEEKEND, SHOCK LABYRINTH and THE APPARITION
One Decent (but not yet widely available) Flick: [REC]3: GENESIS
- Now THAT"s my kind of Bridezilla!
- Ever notice the more indie awards, the worse the movie is?
- Beware The Bunny!
…and a whole lotta NEW YORK THEATER (deal with it!)
- Sean Galuszka & Chris Sams
- No Capri's! No Flip Flops!...No Sleeves....yum!

Special Guest: ALENA ACKER!
Take a trip through time with me, world-famous actress ALENA ACKER and HG WELLS as we try to stop JACK THE RIPPER, who’s on a new killing spree in 1970′s San Francisco! You should be sure to wear some flowers in your hair, but whether or not you bring your cellophane pants is up to you…
And then, I put listener SHAWN from the MORE HORROR THAN HORROR podcast up against the wall for daring to recommend the Aussie thriller FEED from 2005.
- Patrick Thompson may suffer from McConaughey No-Shirt Syndrome
Plus, RE-ANIMATOR: THE MUSICAL, y’all!!
Oh yeah, it’s also the show’s second anniversary. Thanks for forgetting. *sniff*

Episode 64: FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 5
Can you believe it? Another Friday the 13th has passed us by, which means I’m overdue for the next installment of the FRIDAY THE 13th SPECTACULARRRR! We’re now up to the fifth film in the series, FRIDAY THE 13th PART V: A NEW BEGINNING. And it’s a new beginning, all right. It’s the beginning of the end of my love affair with this franchise. Oh hush! This movie is terrible, and you know it!
- Even the box art is cheap.
I sat down with Mister Brad to watch it again. He’s never seen it before, and I thought we were both going to need new glasses after all the eye-rolling we did. Of course, the saving grace is hearing him singing the “Ooh, baby! Ooh baby!” thing in the shower ever since. (Expect audio soon!)
- Seriously, that's just...just...narshty.
- What, is Faux Jason doing Tai Chi now? Pfft!
- It is not showtime. Now stop it. We're embarrassed for you.
Also, expect a lot of talk about my trip to Denver for the GALA 2012 convention. Yeah yeah, suck it up. I try to make it as fun as possible. Plus I get a little heavy and reveal some DEEP TRUTHS, so make sure you have Kleenex handy. Not like that, you pig! Gad, you’re disgusting

So your date might be a little late, but it is finally time to be whisked away to the senior prom! And it’s going to be one helluva Party…
- No tiara for YOU, Mary Lou!
- Just a girl and her adult-sized rocking horse...
In 1957, Mary Lou Maloney‘s dream of being crowned prom queen went up in flames. And now…she’s going to get that tiara if it kills you!
- "The lady at Sears said it's JUST like the one Liz Taylor wore to the Oscars!"
- The lady at Sears LIED!
That’s right! It’s finally time to discuss the Canadian camp classic HELLO MARY LOU: PROM NIGHT II. And joining me is my evil twin and fellow Screamer, listener TRAE DEAN. Sitting next to him, with a flask of hootch in her bra and a spare pair of undies in her purse, is New York City cabaret songstress, the luscious Miss KAREN MACK.
And oh what a ménage it is!
- Special Guest #2: Listener TRAE DEAN!
- Why is this picture here?? Listen and learn!
Tell your mama not to wait up, cuz when this prom’s over, NOBODY’S coming home!

Episode 61: THE HOUSE OF SEVEN CORPSES and SMILE
WARNING: This episode is CURSED. You have been warned.
First up, THE NIGHTMARE CLOSET returns, and its hinges are ready to burst. I’m going to take my second attempt at watching THE HOUSE OF SEVEN CORPSES as an adult. For a movie that’s not particularly scary, it still fills me with dread. It’s time to purge this demon from my soul and get on with my life. I’m just going to hold on to this teddy bear. And this tequila. And this shotgun.
- Worst. Spa treatment. EVER.
- Faith Domergue & her Invisibilty Cloak
Sadly, the Curse of Episode 61 struck the recording of my HELLO MARY LOU: PROM NIGHT II segment. She’ll be back next time, so instead you get an extra CRAPSHOOT feature. It’s a cautionary tale of why one shouldn’t buy outdated photographic equipment from undead mass murdereres. It’s called SMILE starring Armand Assante. Ironically, I’m not happy about this or about bumping poor Mary Lou. I might have taken out my aggression on this poor movie.
Too bad. SUFFER.
- Sigh. That dress is RUINED.
- "SMILE: I'm bored."
- Seriously. What the HELL is this supposed to be?
Oh, and if you’re wearing flip flops while listening to this, you might want to take them off. You have been warned. Again.

Episode 60: THE CHERNOBYL DIARIES
- Smile! It's the GROUP PHOTO OF DOOM!
Privyet, my Krasivaya Screamers! It’s time to pack your bags, your radiation suits and your douche bags, because we’re off to Russia with the a truly stupid group of A-holes with THE CHERNOBYL DIARIES! I’m joined by my favorite West Coast pervert, SCOTT from The SATYRSPHERE podcast. Neither one of us cared for the movie at all, so expect rampant innuendo and Broadway tangents aplenty.
I’d apologize in advance if I had any sense of decorum, which I don’t, so let’s move on.
And while you’re at it, be sure to pick up former guest host HOMER MARRS‘ new EP called PROM KING featuring 4 songs both hilarious and rather sexypants.

EPISODE 59: UNHAPPY BIRTHDAY and BLOODY BIRTHDAY
It’s my birthday episode, henceforth to be known for all time as BIRTHAPALOOZA!
To celebrate, we’re taking a look, not surprisingly, at birthday-related horror.
To kick off the show, THE CRAPSHOOT sets its sites on UNHAPPY BIRTHDAY, a UK exercise in weirdness, Day-Glo clothing, creepy sex and…cake.
- Looks like a happy ending more than an Unhappy Birthday!
- "I come all this way, and this is the shitty cake I get?!?"
And then I’m joined by world-famous author ROBERT R. BEST to discuss BLOODY BIRTHDAY in weirdness, knees socks, killer kids and…cake.
- "Blow out your boobs, Laura." (Theater Joke!)
- How 'bout those knee socks!! Sexy!
- Such angels! Which one do I slap first?
Plus, we discuss my life with the VILLAGE PEOPLE, the War on My Butt, hallucinating on the subway…
…and cake.
- Randy Jones, Cowboy Guy
- His name was GLENN, not Frank. Mea culpa!

Episode 57: MRS. LUMLEY’S MASKS by R.K. Kombrinck
Being that this is Episode 57, I feel it fitting to adhere to the legacy of Heinz Ketchup’s motto of “57 Varieties“. However, I will modify it slightly to say that this episode is “57 Varieties of All Fucked Up!”
- R.K. KOMBRINCK (aka "Kelley)
This is the long-awaited reading of MRS. LUMLEY’S MASKS, an original short story by NOTLP‘s beloved KELLEY KOMBRINCK. I’ve had a amazing time putting this together for you, and if you think Kelley’s all cute and cuddly…think again. Well, actually he is cute and cuddly, but he’s also All Fucked Up. I believe that would be Variety #39.
And if you’re clamoring for movie dish, I’ve got the preview scoop on John Cusack‘s THE RAVEN.
Feathers will fly.
Then, I can’t wait to introduce you to our Friend from Line (All Fucked Up Variety # 44), whose physical being (and demeanor) is described on the show as similar to each of the following:
- Abby Lee Miller from "Dance Moms"
- A Troll from "Troll"
- Trash Lady from "Labyrinth"
- The Trash Heap from "Fraggle Rock"
She’s a peach!
ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
R.K.Kombrinck is an artist/author from Cincinnati, OH. He lives in a deeply disturbing Suburban dystopia with his wife and two sons. His interest in the horror genre began early and his urge to scare his friends and family soon developed into writer-ly aspirations. His equal interest in drawing led him into exploring storytelling through sequential art where he could pair his two passions.
As an adult he’s continued to plumb the depths of darkness and monstosity through short stories which have been published in several genre anthologies. He is also a founding member of the popular podcast “Night of the Living Podcast” which he uses as a mouthpiece for disseminating his horror-nerd agenda. He loves iced tea (unsweet) and genuinely believes in Sasquatch.

Episode 56: SECONDS APART and FRIDAY THE 13th: THE FINAL CHAPTER
- Bette & Derwood: BROWN NOSERS!
It’s that most wonderful time of the year!
Well, except if you’re a horny co-ed who stupidly chose to spend spring break at the lakehouse in the woods instead of going boob-shakin’ in Boca Raton, that is.
- What are you WEARING?!?!?!
That’s right! Another Friday the 13th is upon us, which means it’s time for the next installment of my FRIDAY THE 13th SPECTACULAAAARRRR! This, time we’re I’m tackling the fourth entry, FRIDAY THE 13th: THE FINAL CHAPTER. So, come on, Sara. Strip and dip! Give Teddybear a kiss, and find that goddamned corkscrew, because Jason is in da house!
- Strange (and sexy!) Bedfellows
And then, The Crapshoot returns to take on a pair of creepy identical twins with evil powers in the AfterDark HorrorFest release SECONDS APART. Did this bad boys double my pleasure like Doublemint gum, or did they leave me with a bad taste in my mouth? (Get your mind out of the gutter, pig!)
All this and some real side excursions into Krazytown, USA await you, so start streaming already. Gaaad!
