  • Halloween (Patreon Special)
    2024/09/20

    Well, well, well, it’s that time of year again, isn’t it? The leaves are turning, the nights are getting longer, and the air’s filled with the scent of pumpkin spice… and a touch of fear. But wait a minute! I’m just a humble pumpkin, and while everyone’s getting all excited about Halloween, I can’t help but feel a bit, uh, uneasy about it. I mean, you all know what happens to pumpkins like me, right? Yeah, you guessed it—we get carved up into Jack O’Lanterns! It’s only September, so can we maybe hold off on celebrating for just a little bit longer?

    Anyway, speaking of Halloween (the season, not my impending doom), Clay and Amanda are about to drop a very special episode of The Rotten Horror Picture Show Podcast. They’re giving listeners an exclusive preview of their Patreon series covering the entire *Halloween* franchise by talking about the one that started it all—the original 1978 John Carpenter classic *Halloween*. Now, I’ll admit, even though I’m a bit on edge about this whole season, there’s no denying the impact of this film. Michael Myers, the music, Jamie Lee Curtis—it’s all iconic. But, y’know, could we maybe focus on that instead of sharpening knives and scooping out pumpkin guts?

    In this episode, Clay and Amanda dive deep into what makes *Halloween* the defining slasher movie of its time. They’ll explore Carpenter’s masterful direction, the tension-building score, and the legacy of the unstoppable Michael Myers. It’s a must-listen for horror fans, especially those who are gearing up for the spooky season.

    If you'd like to hear more of their spooky Halloween coverage, head on over to patreon.com/thepenskyfile and follow along. But as for me? I’ll be over here in the pumpkin patch, hoping you’ll hold off on the carving a little longer. Just enjoy the show, okay? Let’s not rush into the Jack O’Lantern business… I’m still in one piece, after all!

    Ah, jeez. I knew something was up when the elevators started bleeding, but this? This is a whole other level of cleanup nightmare. Welcome, folks, to a brand-new episode of *The Rotten Horror Picture Show*, where Clay and Amanda are wrapping up their Summer Cabin Series in the most *gory* way possible. This time, they’re talking about the latest gut-wrenching, deadite-filled entry into the Evil Dead franchise: *Evil Dead Rise*, directed by Lee Cronin. Now, don’t get me wrong, I love a good horror movie, but who’s thinking about the poor guy that’s gotta scrub all the blood, guts, and *whatever that black goo is* off the walls?

    In this 2023 rebootquel, instead of a cabin in the woods, we’re talking about an apartment building in the city. And let me tell you, from a janitor’s perspective, deadites in a high-rise building? That’s my worst nightmare. You think cleaning up after a tenant who leaves their laundry in the hallway is bad? Try mopping up after demons from the Necronomicon wreak havoc on a whole building full of families. Who’s gonna get the blood out of the carpet? *Me*, that’s who.

    Clay and Amanda dive deep into this fresh take on the *Evil Dead* universe—no chainsaws in the woods this time, but don’t worry, it’s still got plenty of gore, terror, and deadite madness to keep you on the edge of your seat. They’ll talk about how *Evil Dead Rise* manages to take everything we love about the franchise—the relentless horror, over-the-top practical effects, and twisted humor—and drop it into an entirely new setting. It’s gritty, it’s gruesome, and it’s going to leave one hell of a mess.

    So tune in, folks, and while you’re enjoying the carnage, spare a thought for the guy who’s gotta clean it all up. *That’s gonna take more than just a mop and bucket*.

    2024/08/26

    Well, well, well, mortals and fiends, welcome to another bone-chilling episode of The Rotten Horror Picture Show! Today, our brave hosts, Clay and Amanda, are venturing into the dark, twisted woods once again, this time to dissect 2013’s *Evil Dead,* the Fede Alvarez remake of the iconic Sam Raimi classic. But wait just a demonic minute here… How in the name of all that’s unholy does an *Evil Dead* movie exist without Bruce Campbell? I mean, I’m a demon, and even I’m confused by this!

    Listen, I’ve been tormenting souls and possessing bodies for centuries, and one thing I know is that *Evil Dead* means chainsaw-wielding, wisecracking Ash Williams. Bruce Campbell is *the* face (and the chin) of this franchise. So, when I heard there was an *Evil Dead* movie without him, I thought someone had summoned me as a joke. I mean, what’s next? A *Friday the 13th* without Jason? A *Nightmare on Elm Street* without Freddy? Madness!

    Yet here we are, in a world where this *Evil Dead* exists, led by the fierce Jane Levy as Mia. Clay and Amanda are going to delve into this bloody, visceral remake, exploring how Alvarez managed to pay homage to the original while cranking up the gore and terror to eleven. They’ll discuss the intense performances, the updated lore, and the relentless, gut-wrenching horror that makes this remake stand on its own… even without Bruce.

    But I’ll be lurking in the shadows, scratching my demonic head, still trying to wrap my mind around it. Can an *Evil Dead* movie truly thrive without its groovy hero? Tune in as Clay and Amanda conjure up their thoughts and summon answers to this perplexing question. Whether you’re a die-hard fan or a new initiate, this episode is sure to possess you. But beware… things might get messy without Bruce around to clean up the deadites.

  • 108. Army of Darkness
    2024/08/09

    Hail, noble listeners, and welcome to a new episode of The Rotten Horror Picture Show! Gather ’round the hearth as Clay and Amanda regale you with tales of heroic deeds, unspeakable horrors, and… another Bruce Campbell movie? Yes, indeed, today they delve into the chaotic, wild, and utterly entertaining world of Sam Raimi’s *Army of Darkness,* the third installment in the Evil Dead saga, where Campbell once again dons his armor (and his chainsaw) as the irrepressible Ash Williams.

    Now, don’t get me wrong—I’m a knight of medieval England, and I’ve got a soft spot for tales of valor, undead battles, and all things Campbell. *Army of Darkness* has it all: skeleton armies, cursed books, and more one-liners than a court jester on ale night. It’s a rollicking adventure that takes Ash back to my time, where he must face off against evil in a land far removed from the cabin in the woods.

    But here’s the thing: How many more Bruce Campbell films are we going to cover, good sirs and ladies? I get it—he’s a legend, the king of B-movie charm, and no one delivers a quip quite like him. Yet, even a knight such as I desires a bit of variety in his tales. I’ve slain dragons, rescued maidens, and faced the wrath of sorcerers, but sometimes I yearn for a different flavor of horror. Perhaps a cursed artifact from Egypt, or a tale of vengeful spirits from the Far East?

    As Clay and Amanda discuss Ash’s medieval misadventures, I’ll be here polishing my armor and pondering the next battle. So, listen in, brave souls, as they dissect the humor, horror, and sheer madness of *Army of Darkness*. Just maybe, after this, we’ll ride into new territories of terror and mystery—something to whet the appetite of even the most seasoned knight.

    But for now, to battle! Or, at least, to podcasting. Let’s see what mischief Ash gets into this time.

Or maybe it’s some kind of hybrid?

    Clay and Amanda are about to dive into this cult classic, breaking down Raimi’s genius blend of horror and comedy, Campbell’s unforgettable performance as Ash, and the over-the-top practical effects that make Evil Dead II a fan favorite. But seriously, I need to know—before this pizza gets any colder!

    Is Evil Dead II a continuation of the nightmarish events from the first movie, or is it a reimagining with more budget and crazier antics? Clay and Amanda will explore all the gory details and comedic moments that define this masterpiece. Meanwhile, I’m standing here with my pizza, anxiously waiting for the definitive answer.

    So, as you tune into this episode of The Rotten Horror Picture Show, join me in my quest for clarity while savoring each cheesy slice of horror goodness. And Clay, Amanda, if you’re out there, please clear up this confusion quickly—I can’t afford to let this pizza go cold!

    With that said, let’s delve into the insanity of Evil Dead II: Dead By Dawn and uncover the truth behind this horror comedy classic. Here’s hoping we all get the answers we crave before our pizza turns into a cold, lifeless slice.

    Hey there, horror buffs and fellow peace-seekers! It's time for another thrilling episode of The Rotten Horror Picture Show. Today, Clay and Amanda kick of their summer cabin series by diving into the gory, ghastly world of Sam Raimi's horror classic, The Evil Dead, starring the iconic Bruce Campbell. But before we get into the nitty-gritty, let me vent a little—I'm the long-suffering neighbor of that infamous haunted cabin, and let me tell you, the noise coming from there is driving me up the wall!

    Living next to a cabin in the woods should be the epitome of tranquility, right? Wrong. Ever since that group of college kids showed up with their ancient book and reckless curiosity, my peaceful haven has turned into a non-stop horror show. There’s the endless screaming, the unholy monster growls, and don’t even get me started on the incessant chainsaw buzzing. How’s a person supposed to relax with all that racket?

    Clay and Amanda are about to dissect the chaos and carnage that make The Evil Dead a cult classic, but I’ve been living the nightmare in real time. The film’s gore-splattered scenes, the relentless terror, and Bruce Campbell’s unforgettable performance as Ash are all topics of discussion. Meanwhile, I’m here, just trying to enjoy a quiet evening with a cup of tea, constantly interrupted by demonic howls and chainsaw duels.

    As Clay and Amanda explore the inventive scares and over-the-top horror that Raimi masterfully delivers, I’ll be counting down the days until those possessed trees and shrieking Deadites finally give it a rest. So, join me in plugging in those noise-cancelling headphones and tuning into the latest episode of The Rotten Horror Picture Show. Maybe, just maybe, Clay and Amanda can explain why anyone would willingly put themselves through this cacophony of terror.

    And if you happen to see Bruce Campbell swinging that chainsaw around, do me a favor—tell him to keep it down! With that said, let’s dive into the madness of The Evil Dead and hope we come out the other side with our sanity intact.
