Kill By Kill: Talking Horror Characters One Death At A Time

• The Shining (w/ Ritch Duncan)

  Haunted. Cursed. Malevolent. Where does one even begin when it comes to the Stanley Kubrick adaptation of the Stephen King novel THE SHINING? This week on Kill By Kill, we’re exploring the impact of this totemic film on horror and cinema, and the very conflict between creatives behind it. Here to help us search these endless hallways for clues is writer (Deathbed: Horror Stories by Comedy Writers) and comedian Ritch Duncan!! Along the way, we dig into the origins of the King novel, how he bared his soul about his private parenting fears, and his complex reactions to a film that sets aside those literary intentions for a specifically crafted cinematic experience!! All this, plus Copyright Killers, trash-talking screenwriters, bad slashers, butt scares, Looney Tunes escapes, bad snackers, the many, many pop culture references to The Shining, and an all-work-and-no-play edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure!!

• Happy Birthday To Me vol 2 (w/ Josh Hollis) redux

  Due to the bizarre nature of this podcast, we hope you put down any sharp food utensils before enjoying Vol. 2 of our re-release bonus episode this week, discussing Happy Birthday To Me (1981)!! Here to help us unwrap this unhinged motion picture is Kill By Kill artist-in-residence and Returning Champion, Josh Hollis (Predict-O-Cast & Butterfly Kisses). We dig into it all, like whether shish kabob can ever truly be considered a midnight snack, confront the idea that we have a legit murderous Mrs. Doubtfire sitch happening here, call into question the standard operating procedures of this town’s drawbridge personnel, and take a quick detour to the Penguin’s evil lair. Plus, the secret powers of Dr. David’s disco medallion are revealed, decide who is on the bottom of the Top 10’s Penis Tottempole, and we make a wish during Choose Your Own Deathventure! This one is seriously nutty, people.   Part of the BLEAV Network.Get even more episodes exclusively on Patreon! Artwork by Josh Hollis: joshhollis.com Kill By Kill theme by Revenge Body.

• Sawsgiving vol. 6 (w/ Louis Peitzman)

  Gather around, family and friends, to celebrate what we’re thankful for: deadly traps. That’s right!

Here to help us explore the Jigsaw Industrial Complex is writer (Vulture, BuzzFeed, and more), podcaster (Chasing Amy Adams), and real Saw fan Louis Peitzman!! Along the way, we explore why the Saw franchise is “special in a stupid way,” consider the shifting moral landscape of John Kramer’s terror campaign, address the terrible wigs Shawnee Smith is forced to wear, and discuss why we think Jigsaw rolls deep!! All this, plus location nausea, hand-me-down cop clothes, tetnus for everyone, deadly vibes gas, one-way traps, 9-1-1 Nashville plots, Louis solves the Saw franchise, and we play a little game of Choose Your Own Deathventure!!

• Happy Birthday To Me vol 1 (w/ Anya Stanley) redux

  Light the candles and cut the cake! If you made a wish that Kill By Kill return to the classics, then it’s about to come true! On this week’s bonus episode, Gena & Patrick are unpacking all the gory details of 1981’s Happy Birthday To Me with the help of writer-at-large for birthmoviesdeath & Fangoria, Anya Stanley!! We ask big questions, like “Is this French Motocross perv a vampire?” and “Why does this character store her gardening shears inside of a mini-coffin?” We also tackle the very idea of over-stitched underwear, debate whether Genesis is appropriate bathing music, and consider the possibility that Glenn Ford is rocking a “coke nail” to pair with his Disco medallion. All this, and we unwrap a surprising edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure! So join us once again for a little Canuxploitation -the gift that keeps on giving!!
