    Child's Play 1988 (w/ Jude Ellison Doyle)

    03/07/2026 | 1h 46 mins.
    We’re your podcast ’til the end, and there’s no better way to show it than by starting Season 7 off with an in-depth play session with the original CHILD’S PLAY! Here to help us be true Good Guys is writer (Dead Teenagers from Oni; Clayface: Celebrity Dirt from DC) and Returning Champion to the show, Jude Ellison Doyle! Along the way, we open the history books of how Chucky was created, unpack why horror hates single moms, ask why stranglers aren’t more community-minded, and Jude educates us on the history of parents not believing their children about serial killers. All this, plus sexy tree nannies, Voodoo John, department store meanies, haunted hairlines, Good Guy loosies, the Dennis Franz, and a new, factory-sealed edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure!! So give us the power to listen to this episode, we beg of you!

    Prom Night 1980 (w/ Janel Schermerhorn) redux

    30/06/2026 | 1h 39 mins.
    Thank Jason we're taking a quick break from our FRIDAY THE 13th franchise revisit and getting our boogie on! That's right, it’s 1980s PROM NIGHT, and everything is alright! Kinda. We're digging into this singular Canuxploitation slasher classic starring Jamie Lee Curtis, Leslie Nielsen, and “the oldest teenagers since Grease.” And our date for the special episode? Why its Janel Schermerhorn, the very woman Patrick took to his own senior prom! Oh, and the truth comes out!! Along the way, we wait in vain for the eventual disco-pocalypse, discuss why a dead body would be retrieved by a rope truck, dig into the reason why every Canadian couple wants to have sex in a locker room, propose a Prom Night/9-to-5 crossover, and bear witness to “man-on-van combat.” We also delve into a wild Prom Night fan theory to begin and end them all! Plus, a Promposal in the form of Choose Your Own Death-venture. Make memories with this special episode that will last a lifetime. Or at least feel like one.

    Kill By Kill's 10th Anniversary Spectacular

    26/06/2026 | 1h 16 mins.
    Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls… we’ve been talking to you for a full decade! That’s right, we’re looking back at 10 years of making fun of Jason Voorhees, bad vampire planners, Sudden Oatmeal Syndrome deadites, inventing skulls, exploding birds, walking fish toilets, and the bad boyfriends who ask, “Have you considered my penis?” All this, plus hot tub sex scenes, Mary Lou Maloney worship, death by dodgeball, robot fashion shoots, exploding slugs, and much, much more! Thank you one and all for being a part of this weird and wonderful journey. Don’t worry… the Body Count will continue.

    Friday the 13th The Final Chapter vol 5 (w/ Clint Worthington) redux

    23/06/2026 | 1h 16 mins.
    Need a distraction? Well, Thank Jason it’s Friday - the Kill By Kill Podcast is here to help. Your remix series is sadly closing the book on Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter, but we're lucky to have the support of movie critic and podcaster Clint Worthington to help! Along the way, we discuss new craft selections for Jason’s Crystal Lake Swap Meet stand, the disturbing connection between The Final Chapter and every other Tennessee Williams play, Tommy’s Uncle Fester cosplay, and celebrate the elevation of Trish to supreme Final Girl badass! Plus, we talk about the Voorhees Family’s hatred of windows, and there’s an all-new edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure! It’s a real slice of fun for the whole family!! (Warning: Do Not Listen With Your Whole Family. Please download it separately.)

    Read Clint's work at The Spool!

    In The Mouth of Madness (w/ Mandi Bossard)

    19/06/2026 | 1h 12 mins.
    Do you read Sutter Cane? Really? Name three albums! Sorry? He’s a fictional novelist who is in contact with the Elder Gods who wish to retake the Earth and subject us to their dark dominion? Someone should make a movie about that. They did?! It’s called IN THE MOUTH OF MADNESS, and it’s a stone-cold John Carpenter classic that we’re covering this week with the help of TikTok’s own Mandi Bossard! Along the way, we dig into the extremely Hollywood backstory of the script, explore what Sutter Cane’s actual pathway to a Second Coming is, consider the astronomical cigarette budget for the movie, and dig into whether we’re watching the movie or if we’re watching the movie-within-the-movie! All this, plus Poison bassists, woman-written-by-man, spoil Backrooms hallways, H.P. Lovecraft roasts, ball-and-chains, and a very tentacle-filled edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure! This episode is a real page-turner, so check it out!!

About Kill By Kill: Talking Horror Characters One Death At A Time
In each episode, Patrick Hamilton and Gena Radcliffe unpack all the gory details of horror cinema's least discussed topic: the characters. From Friday the 13th to the Evil Dead franchise and beyond, our mission is to detail each hack, slash, and decapitation in the hopes that a victim's untimely end is just the beginning of the jokes we can make about them.
