The Horror Press Podcast Ep 52: Stranger Things and Trailers
In Episode 52 of The Horror Press Podcast, Brendan, Eli (Bad Critic), and James-Michael talk about what they’ve been watching, what they are working on, and horror movie news.
Stranger Things Reactions and What the Hosts Are Up To
In this episode they dig into the latest Stranger Things episodes, for better or for worse. Brendan talks about the latest video game he’s playing on his new Steam Deck. Eli watched Lars von Trier’s Antichrist, and they discuss what the movie means. They shared which position they’d choose in the Human Centipede (gross!), and somehow Alec Baldwin is related to this topic in a surprising way!

Updates on IT: Welcome to Derry and AI Issues in Modern Horror
They touch base on IT: Welcome to Derry, the state of the show, and how it ties into Stephen King’s book. AI continues to worm its way into film in disappointing ways, this time, it’s The Ugly Stepsister’s English dub on Shudder. The trailers for Ready or Not 2: Here I Come and 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple have dropped, and everyone is excited for one of these movies! They dig into the gnarly details of Catherine Corcoran’s lawsuit against Terrifier director Damien Leone and producer Phil Falcone, and talk about how important it is for on-screen stunts to be done safely.
Hellraiser 2022 is finally getting a physical release, and everyone expresses their love for the Hellraiser franchise. Then Brendan brings up Scarlet Johansson and the mood shifts. Then they dig into Quentin Tarantino’s latest drama, in lieu of the release of Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair, and his baffling hatred for Paul Dano. Finally, they discuss Sony’s confusing branding around the new Anaconda film (with Paul Rudd and Jack Black), Frankenstein’s upcoming physical release, and the new Creep Tapes Christmas special.

What We’ve Been Up To
Eli is hockey crazed because the Canadians made the Eastern Conference Finals (they’ve since lost 4-1) and James-Michael is experimenting with shorter shorts. Everyone has seen Hokum (great fun!), Eli has been busy seeing I Love Boosters (a gorgeous mess!), Obsession (twice!), Lee Cronin’s The Mummy (it was gross and goofy!) and Blue Heron (not a horror movie, just a very good film!). James-Michael is on book 4 of Dungeon Crawler Carl (he’s loving it!), saw The Mandalorian and Grogu (it was cute!), and is playing the new Resident Evil game (fun, but Grace is a problem). Brendan is all in on Eddie Falco (he’s watching Nurse Jackie) and James Spader (he’s also watching The Black List), and is excited for Jackass: Best and Last!
Horror Press got an interesting email from a journalist asking if publications can be bribed with prediction market payouts to give a movie a specific Rotten Tomato score, and we are all curious to know if that’s actually a thing! We are excited for Disclosure Day, but Brendan is the most excited (but nothing can top Fire in the Sky). Will Spielberg’s latest marketing cook people’s brains? Sam Raimi is rebooting Magic, Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma is officially releasing August 7th, and Ginger Snaps is possibly getting a TV series (also check out My Animal if you love werewolf movies).
The Horror Press Podcast Discusses the Curry Barker and Kane Parsons Drama
Everyone discusses the latest film conspiracy, which is that Obsession and Backrooms was secretly directed by someone else. Both films are financial blockbusters made by young first time directors (Curry Barker and Kane Parsons) who grew up on the internet. Is this fueled by jealousy, a sense of competition between internet talent vs mainstream talent, or just rage baiting for clout? Nicolas Refn Winding is back (from the dead??) with Her Private Hell, and is rumoured to be behind the Maniac Cop reboot. Hideo Kojima disappointed us all by taking an AI check. Jason will be added to the video game Dead By Daylight (as The Slasher).

What We’ve Been Up To
Eli is absent from the episode but she ran a cursed poll on the podcast instagram account asking listeners if they’d rather be the middle or the end of the human centipede, so Brendan and James-Michael discuss the results in horrifying details! James-Michael is watching Tales from the Crypt and Brendan has watched Sorority Row 10 times recently for a mysterious reason!
Brendan got his hands on a copy of the Spanish sci-fi film The Antares Paradox, as well as a box set of the Filipino Blood Island films! Also, everyone is scared of the Hantavirus!
Horror News: Hocus Pocus 3, and Trailers
Hocus Pocus 3 is in the works, and will star Kathy Najimy, Sarah Jessica Parker and Bette Midler again. It’s the 21st anniversary of House of Wax, Brendan’s favorite! The Faces of Death remake is already on VOD, and will be on Shudder soon. Ready or Not 2 is also available on VOD, and will be getting a physical release in June.
Netflix is depriving us all from more seasons of Skinwalker Ranch (only season 4 is available). Evil Dead Burn dropped both a Red Band and Green Band trailer and the boys wonder whether the trailers are still giving away too much! Are we all just living in a Deadite hellscape?
Brendan then SLANDERS ELI BY SAYING SHE LOVES AND ENDORSES SPIDER MOVIES. A teaser trailer has dropped for Poultrygiest 2: Dawn of the Chicken Dead, someone made a SAW pop-up book, and Resident Evil fans are mad at the new trailer!
Brendan and James-Michael wonder what fans actually want, and Joe Bob Briggs fans catch a stray. Blair Witch is being rebooted (no one knows how to feel about it) and a massive re-release of Adam Green’s Hatchet and all kinds of supplementary material is coming your way (it’s expensive).
