This week, we dive into a cult classic that proves movies can be short, bloody, and unforgettable. We’re talking about The Return of the Living Dead—the 1985 punk-rock horror-comedy that flipped the zombie genre on its head.

We break down our first impressions of the film’s wild tone, the genius of mixing laughs with horror, and how this movie dared to rewrite zombie lore with running corpses, talking brains, and one very persistent gas. Does this chaotic blend of comedy and carnage still hold up in today’s oversaturated zombie market?

We also discuss our favorite characters and unpack the deeper meaning hidden under all the grave-digging fun.

As always, we give our ratings, drop a few movie recommendations for fans of undead anarchy, and tease what’s coming next on the podcast.

Spoiler alert….. More horror, more chaos, and more killer takes.

What would you do if crime was legal for 12 hours?

In this week’s episode of The Killer Point Of View Podcast, we’re diving deep into the blood-soaked chaos of The Purge franchise. From the home-invasion horror of the Sandin family to the full-blown political warfare of later films, we break down all five entries and ask the questions like:

- When should a franchise end, when the money runs dry or when the creativity fades?

- Was Charlie right to open the door in the original film?

- Did Mary make the right choice by stopping the violence?

- And the ultimate question would you purge or hide?

We dissect the franchise’s biggest kill scenes, hidden messages, and the social commentary that made The Purge more than just another slasher series. We’ll also discuss whether the concept would actually reduce crime in the real world or only expose humanity’s darkest truths.

Plus:

- Facts you didn’t know about the series

- Our ranking of the franchise from worst to best

- Ratings for each film

- Our personal movie recommendations

And stick around for a sneak peek at what’s coming in our next episode, you don’t want to miss it.

Lock your doors… or don’t. It’s time to purge.

Some horror movies take you to dark places—The Descent drags you in and refuses to let go. In this episode of The Killer Point of View Podcast, we journey deep into the claustrophobic terror of the 2005 horror classic.

We kick things off with a lighter question: What’s your current comfort movie and why? Then, we dive headfirst into the abyss, discussing what makes The Descent one of the most brutal and intense horror films of the early 2000s. Would you rather face the bloodthirsty crawlers or be trapped in the cave with no escape? And beyond the creatures, who is the real villain—Sarah or Juno?

We also tackle a couple questions sent to us by Under The Floorboards Podcast and Shots by Rio from instagram.

Join us and our guest Stefanie as we break down the fear, the fights, and the friendships turned fatal in The Descent. Let’s talk horror—if you dare.

It's our 100th episode. We are so thankful for those who take the time to listen to us. In this episode we talk to a couple guest, make a few announcements, and give our top 10 favorite kill scenes.

Freddy Krueger is one of the biggest horror icons of all time. He made going to sleep as a kid impossible and he did it in such a way that made it comical. With a franchise consisting of 7 movies, 9 if you include Freddy Vs Jason and the 2010 remake, the legacy of Freddy has not only had an incredible impact in the world of horror movies but in pop culture and and movies in general.

The 80s aesthetic and neon horror vibes—did it work or feel forced?

Say his name five times if you dare. The Killer Point of View Podcast is back, kicking things off with a deep dive into the 1992 horror classic Candyman. We’re breaking down what makes this film so iconic—its chilling atmosphere, Tony Todd’s legendary performance, and its unforgettable urban legend roots.

But Candyman is more than just a horror movie. We explore how it tackles systemic racism and inequality through its haunting portrayal of Cabrini-Green, blurring the lines between folklore, psychological terror, and slasher brutality. Is Candyman truly a villain, or is he a victim of history? And where does the legend of Bloody Mary fit into the conversation?

Join us as we discuss our love (or fear) of this film, its lasting impact on horror, and why Candyman still has audiences looking over their shoulders.

Tune in… just don’t say his name.
