Night Howls – Détails, épisodes et analyse

You better watch out...

Toss out those jack-o'-lanterns and slam the door on those trick or treaters because we're about to have a bloody good Christmas. This week, Cody and Matt check their stockings and discuss ferocious filmmaking ,narrative nuances, and grotesque gore. As expected, the boys go all out on Art the Clown while discussing physical bits, comic timing, and how David Howard Thornton has earned his place in horror history.

With Art, every list is a naughty list... and you're on it!

BURN IN HELL!

This week, Matt and Cody are certainly the secretaries of something as they deep-dive into this Wes Craven cult classic, while also celebrating the birthdays of Fool, Wendy Robie, and one of the top two hosts of this program. The boys talk about the social and political ramifications of the film...just kidding...you know they have a field day with odd make-up choices, precarious tarot illustrations, fairy-tale parallels, doors in other doors, viciously adorable pups, one of the iconic mothers of horror, and why exactly are the people under there anyway...Not to mention: a fun recent celebrity run-in they had this spooky season.

This one's sure to scare your hair white so turn the tv towards the crack and  guard your doubloons!

Life at last!

This week, Cody and Matt lay down some tasty jams and sizzling riffs in the second half of their De Palma De Double De Feature! They discuss tantalizing toe-tappers, superb cinematography, and that pretty wild Paul Williams. They also dive deep into the spooky resonance of theatrical superstitions while having real-time realizations of why Swan has a camera fixated on his bed.

Then, Matt is joined by the Grand Ghoul himself: The Phantom of Isaac Rother & The Phantoms! He's stopped by to give Night Howls the heebie-jeebies and talk all things rock and roll. He discusses his albums, his stage show, and how to get a great deal on a custom guitar!

Yeah, they're dead. They're all messed up. And this time, we don't just mean the hosts!

This week, Matt and Cody visit a rural Pennsylvania Farm House during the body-swinging sixties for what is unquestionably one of the most pivotal horror movies of all time. They discuss the birth of the modern zombie, the social and political themes, which of them would be left in the basement, and how some can-do attitude amounted to 60+ years of terror. Not to mention, what exactly is up with the body at the top of the stairs, which of these ghouls should be the Fred Gwynne Veteran Character Actor,  and how exactly does 'Rock of Love' factor into all of this...

Board up the windows, exit the burning truck, and grab a non-human snack for consumption as the boys rise from the dead to chat about this classic...at least until they come and get them, Barbra!

Camp Crystal Lake: The Musical!: wolfbane.org 

He haunts your dreams. He's back to avenge his own death. He preys on the young and defenseless. He's. . . Lanyard Gates?!

This week, join Cody and Matt at the concession stand as they celebrate the communal movie experience. They discuss all-night horrorthons, incredible theater gags, and one of their favorite veteran character actors to date. They also chew over the importance of a cohesive story and how being "fun" isn't the same as being "good" while debating the effectiveness of putting superstar mom Dee Wallace into a full body cast for a majority of her screen time. Choices were made. Faces were transplanted. Mosquitos were murdered. And that's not the half of it. 

Grab a bucket, clean a theater, avoid your landlord, and join us for this salty, yet buttery, cult classic! Now in Stink-O-Vision!

Thanks for listening. . . and we'll see you at center stage. . . where we belong!

This week, Matt and Cody see something truly out of this world with Jordan Peele's latest outing, Nope! They "peel" back the layers by analyzing the themes, scares, and cultural impact of the film, while still flapping their gums about their usual nonsense like two inflatable tube men along the side of a dusty trail. They give their props, like a good crew person would, to the now legendary Peele, Kaluuya, Palmer, and the already legendary Keith David. Do they find the key to success or is that key just stuck in a horse's ass? Only by listening can you find out!

Peak out from behind the clouds or slates of a barn wall and giddy up over to your two favorite ranch hands as they dig deep on being exceptional (like they would know), floating shoes, one-eyed purple people eaters, and so much more!

Thanks for listening!

This week, Matt and Cody end up reconnecting after some time apart and ranting about the latest Scream 6 news. Afterwards, they chat about one of Shudder's hottest releases, Revealer, with the star herself: Shaina Schrooten! Shaina is kind enough to put up with their shenanigans and goes deep into the process of making this movie, the relationship she formed with her costars, creating a character completely out of her wheelhouse, and trying to survive the apocalypse. They learn behind the scenes tidbits including: what it was like to film in the early days of the Pandemic, the value of multiple costume changes, her now iconic glasses, and what she got to take from the set. Not to mention filming with some of the creepiest crawlies the boys have seen yet. 

It's Night Howls first guest, and there's no one better to join the madness than this uber talented star on the rise. 

Thanks for listening!

They came, they saw, they Conjured.

*clap clap* This week, Cody and Matt enter the world of the Warrens. They talk the cultural impact of this franchise juggernaut, the effectiveness of perfect casting, and how an ideally  told haunted house story is a thing to behold. They also discuss the dangers of leaving your child alone with a potentially drugged grandparent and the real estate worries for the local raccoon population. Not to mention, the references to  other iconic haunted house films and even their own paranormal experiences if you dare.

Grab your red crayons, favorite music box or phone, and hide in a witch's wardrobe with the boys as they fall through the floorboards of a house and into one of James Wan's most quintessential releases.

Last month, Matt and Cody had their first Horror Convention experience with Monsterpalooza in Pasadena, CA. Here, they recap some things they  learned along the way and chat about meeting some heroes including: Heather Langenkamp, Amanda Wyss, Neve Campbell, Skeet Ulrich, Matthew Lillard, and Jamie Kennedy. Not to mention the incredible vendors, staff, and creatures they met a long the way. Listen to the boys get second hand gitty about something that already happened and find out what some of these folks were like to meet in person.

Thanks for listening and thanks to Monsterpalooza for the weekend!

This week, Matt and Cody jump from a sinking ship and unfortunately for you, they don't mean this show. They wash ashore with conversations all about Veteran Character Actors, gender norms for the 30's, more reasons to hate Gone With the Wind, how this story is more about a giant gorilla than anything else, and how they would try to survive if faced with these circumstances. It's an episode of laughs, crocs, plots, and booby traps galore! 

Thanks for listening...and DON'T GO INTO THE MARSH!
