It's time for another FRIDAY THE 13th SPECTACULAR! We're taking a looking at the 1986 whodunnit APRIL FOOL'S DAY produced by FRANK MANCUSO JR (F13 2-7, F13: The Series) and starring the series' beloved Final Girl AMY STEEL (F13 Part 2). Joining me once again are my favorite wacky Californians ALLISON NOWACKI and BRYAN POLK. But the real horror awaits when Allison realizes there are NO BOOBS in this movie. I may not survive.

I'm back after my stint in the hospital, and so is a double dose of THE CRAPSHOOT! In the crossfire are THE LIMEHOUSE GOLEM, a blood-drenched Victorian-era hunt for a vicious serial killer, and ARBOR DEMON, the story of Campers vs. Unseen Unstoppable Evil That Wants To Nibble Your Insides. Also, all the details of my battle back to health, Cat vs. Nurse, Spongebob Hamilton, a call to horror filmmakers to raise their own bar, and why THE SHAPE OF WATER is not only the best movie of the year...i...

Join me in celebrating WOMEN IN HORROR Month with one of my all-time favorite bad girls: PATTY MCCORMACK's legendary performance as the murderous little RHODA PENMARK in 1956's classic shocker THE BAD SEED. Special guests: ALYSSA SIMON and JESSI GOTTA from THE MOOSEHEAD OVER THE MANTEL!

Enjoy this taste of OLD TIME RADIO and discover HOW LOVE CAME TO PROFESSOR GUILDEA (based on the short story by ROBERT S. HICHENS) from the classic suspense program ESCAPE! See, the old prof thinks love is a weakness. But he's about to encounter a supernatural force that doesn't handle rejection well.

New Year's Eve may be over, but there's still one more party to attend...and it might be your last one ever! We're discussing the 1980 slasher whodunnit classic TERROR TRAIN starring the original scream queen, JAMIE LEIGH CURTIS! Joining me are two of my UNDERPANTS GODOT cohorts, playwright DUNCAN PFLASTER and MARK-EUGENE GARCIA, who are also here to talk about their brand new gay comedy crime caper movie, STRAPPED FOR DANGER.

We continue with our SLEAZINS GREETINGS GRINDHOUSE CHRISTMAS with the truly bizarre holiday themed offering from 1980, CHRISTMAS EVIL. And if Tony-award nominated Psycho Santas aren't enough for you, listener Andy is going to face THE FIRING SQUAD for recommending FOUND FOOTAGE 3-D. Will he survive?

SORRELL BROOKE (The Dukes of Hazzard) and LEIF GARRETT (Cheerleader Camp) face off in a battle to the death between a small army of bloodthirsty psychotic children and a group of unfortunate adults snowbound at a remote mountain cabin in the truly bizarre DEVIL TIMES FIVE. Guaranteed to be more fun than a piranha in your *****!

The time for set up and exposition is over...now it's all bloodletting and sex rituals and assorted CORN PORN! Heading up the plow with me is TOPPIE SMELLIE, so prepare to be well seeded!

Enjoy this discussion of the first half of the two-part miniseries deemed TOO SINFUL by my school for me to watch as a child

I'm STILL worn out from the COUNTDOWN TO HALLOWEEN POD-A-THON, so enjoy as the listeners take over the show with tales of their All Hallow's Eve misadventures!

Celebrate the most anticipated night of a ScreamQueen's year with one of my all time favorite Halloween-based movies: a tale of mystery and suspense balanced perfectly with nostalgia and warmth. Oh, and brutal murder and scary, scary ghosts! Joining me on the final leg of this long, spooky journey are the infinitely irresistible hosts of the infinitely entertaining BLOODY DATE NIGHT podcast, LIZ RICHARDS and JOSH KREBS.

For this COUNTDOWN TO HALLOWEEN POD-A-THON installment, we're taking a look at a rare print of THE LEGEND OF GRISLY GERTIE, a shocking look at cannibalism and murder in a tiny town in Upstate New York that puts the trick in Trick R' Treat! To help with wade through the vast pools of blood that Gertie leaves in her wake are two of my dearest friends from college, WENDY VOELKER and MARTIN MCKEON.

For this COUNTDOWN TO HALLOWEEN POD-A-THON installment, I'm joined by NICOLE CALANDE and SHRIYA VENKATESH, the creators of MONSTERS OUT OF THE CLOSET, a new LGBT podcast debuting this Halloween. They'll be letting us take an exclusive sneak peak at CLICK, an original story by LUCIAN CLARK and read by TAARA RANGAN.

The COUNTDOWN TO HALLOWEEN POD-A-THON continues its unstoppable crusade to that horror lover's Night of Nights, but we need to make a quick pitstop to pick up a few things at the CHOPPING MALL. Helping me face against Killbots, gratuitous boobs and unintentional cameltoe are game designer BRYAN WILSON and director CHRIS DIANI!

The COUNTDOWN TO HALLOWEEN POD-A-THON continues with a mini-episode on MARIO BAVA's super-stylish space epic, PLANET OF THE VAMPIRES! Hypersaturated color! Giant hair! Impractical but fashionable uniforms! SPACE ZOMBIES!!

This installment of the COUNTDOWN TO HALLOWEEN POD-A-THON brings you a perfectly eerie fable for All Hallow's Eve, BOYS IN THE TREES. When the barriers are down between reality and fantasy, a walk home with an old friend on Halloween Night can take you to some strange and wonderful places.

The COUNTDOWN TO HALLOWEEN continues with a look at THE DEVIL'S CANDY and the shirtless sweaty hotness of ETHAN EMBRY.

Enjoy a trip back in time to the era of OLD TIME RADIO with an episode of INNER SANCTUM, originally broadcast on October 31, 1949.

With voice talent like GILDA RADNER and CATHERINE O'HARA, I'm already sold. But when the lonely, aging witch is totally channeling NORMA DESMOND from SUNSET BOULEVARD, you're entering GAY CAMP HEAVEN territory. And speaking of Gay Camp Heaven, I'm joined by everyone's favorite 'fraidy cat, DOUG SHAPIRO.

Yvonne De Carlo stars as an aging witch who inflicts vengeance on her stunningly bland family with the help of demonic doggie in this laughably bad stinker. I'm joined by the devastatingly handsome MANUEL CANERI and his special pancakes, so you're welcome.

In BEAR CREEK, six follicularly gifted friends head of to the woods for a weekend of male bonding, camaraderie, woofy gay sex and certain death when a killer makes it a point to ruin this teddy bear picnic....forever.

For Day Three of the COUNTDOWN TO HALLOWEEN POD-A-THON, I've chosen a heartwarming tale of sisterhood, girl power, outrageous Canadian accents, and werewolves. Joining me to talk about this beloved melding of mythos, monsters and menses are the hosts of the KILLING YOUR DARLINGS podcast CHRYSTEN PEDDIE and DAN COHEN.

Day Two and the COUNTDOWN TO HALLOWEEN POD-A-THON rages on my take on McG's new movie THE BABYSITTER. Man, I'd feel bad if I add all the Popsicles when I babysat. At least I wasn't performing human sacrifices to the Dark Lord in the living room...

The COUNTDOWN TO HALLOWEEN POD-A-THON begins...with a trip to the beach for Spring Break? Insanely hot party-goers at an all night blowout by the sea fine themselves fighting for survival against a monster whose very touch brings excruciating and inescapable death. But even worse, they find themselves being mercilessly judged by THE CRAPSHOOT!
