Gorman on Gore

Stay to the end to hear the kind Valentine's day wishes of John Kassir! Some nightmares last longer than others, and no other longer than the ginormous spectacle of the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise. It's hard to believe, looking back, at how crazy big the hype around Freddy Krueger got. This is where it all begins, 1984's unexpected smash hit, A Nightmare on Elm Street! Peter and Jacob dutifully scour over every single scene for your listening pleasure in truly epic fashion. They go over people who were almost cast, mistakes on set, and quite a bit more. This one is for the ages! Special thanks to John Kassir for all the fond Cryptkeeper memories, and Peter's beloved wife, Miranda.

“Our original plans died in a fire, so we threw something together about the Grinch. Enjoy!” Unlikely underdog for christmas slasher "classic", 2022's The Mean One is an odd take on the Dr. Seuss children's story. Jacob and Peter do their first recording session physically in person together, just after a lively Christmas party. They discuss where the Grinch might come from, the baffling motives of the town leaders of "Newville" (not Whoville), and their own interpretations of what it is to truly love the unlovable Grinches in our lives. Will you love The Mean One? How will they rate it compared to the other Christmas specials? Merry Christmas!

Happy Halloween! To celebrate the thinning of the veil between the living and the dead, we celebrate by watching a beloved Halloween classic, 2007 's Trick R' Treat! Peter and Jacob discuss whether Halloween candy has ever been poisoned by strangers, what the "rules" of Halloween must be, and what our favorite Halloween memories are. Peter got married, and Jacob was there! So pull up a seat and have a listen, lest Sammy the bag head boy give you a trick!

After a long hiatus (got married, went on honeymoon) Gorman on Gore is back, and with a vengeance! The long-awaited sequel to our premier episode is finally here. Maniac Cop 2 takes everything you loved about the original film and dials it up to 11. Matt Cordell, the homicidal zombie cop, is out for revenge for being set up. Or maybe he's just angry about being punished for doing bad stuff. He's back to kill the men responsible for his imprisonment, and literally anyone else who happens to get in his way. Will hard-boiled detective Robert Davi and no-nonsense police psychologist Claudia Christian be able to solve the mystery of why Matt Cordell is such a jerk? Probably not. But hey, lots of car chases. Strap in and come for the ride along. Psst... Halloween episode coming soon!

We're back, to finish the job! Our mighty episode dedicated to The Shining concludes with more bizarre details, an intricate analysis of the book, the film, the actors, and the director. Stephen King is mocked despite his ingenuity. Other works and films of Stephen King are also discussed, such as Cujo, The Langoliers, The Dark Tower series, The Graveyard Shift, and Christine. We finally get to the bottom of all of the conspiracies around the The Shining and arrive at a bit of truth. Tune in for the conclusion of probably one of our finest episodes to date.

Was Wendy Torrance a good cook? Did Danny Torrrance trick his dad into becoming a murderer? Does Stephen King think he's Jack Torrance? All these questions and more are tackled as Peter and Jacob delve into the terrifying depths of Stanley Kubrick's greatest masterwork, The Shining. Cabin fever at its best. Horror at its most refined. Shelley Duvall at her most antagonized. The terror behind the camera very nearly equals what came out of on the screen, as Kubrick demanded hundreds of takes, driving nearly everyone mad! Every major theory about this film is covered. So join us, sell your soul for a glass of beer.

A game of revenge that features a week of sharks, each bigger than the next! Peter and Jacob venture into their first Asylum film in this wet and wild killer shark film. Dubious special effects and questionable lines abound. Speculation about how much horse tranquilizers a person should take is only the tip of the shark fin. Take a dive and cool off, just don't think about what might be down there with you under the dark waves. For the record, hammerhead sharks aren't dangerous. https://yourcitysleeps.bandcamp.com Email: gormanongore@protonmail.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/gormanongore Website: https://gormanongore.buzzsprout.com/ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7hjbpX0bPx79p0YY9ACvq7 Apple podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/gorman-on-gore/id1579271619?i=1000530712722 Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5idXp6c3Byb3V0LmNvbS8xODI4OTY0LnJzcw== https://www.buymeacoffee.com/GormanOnGore gormanongorecom.wordpress.com

Some kinds of horror sneak up on you. Late at night. Dripping water on the floorboards! Lake Mungo is a wonderful bit of dread and forboding. A story about an Australian girl who drowns in a lake only to come back in the photographs of grieving family and friends. A sad slice of mockumentary/ faux documentary to get you wondering whether you left your front door locked. Enjoy it with us, Peter and Jacob, as we obsessively dissect the crap out of it for all of your listening pleasures. https://yourcitysleeps.bandcamp.com Email us! gormanongore@protonmail.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/gormanongore Website: https://gormanongore.buzzsprout.com/ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7hjbpX0bPx79p0YY9ACvq7 Apple podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/gorman-on-gore/id1579271619?i=1000530712722 Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5idXp6c3Byb3V0LmNvbS8xODI4OTY0LnJzcw== https://www.buymeacoffee.com/GormanOnGore gormanongorecom.wordpress.com

Tis the season to celebrate cheesy killer snowman movies. On this second annual christmas special Jacob and Peter investigate multiple Jack Frost horror films. Yes, there is more than one horror film about Jack Frost. Jack Frost is a cult favorite slasher horror Christmas film that came out just one year before the more family-friendly Michael Keaton film of the same name. Which movie is scarier is up for debate! May your yuletide have better films than ours! Special thanks to Your City Sleeps for their track used in the episode!

So salty! As November comes to a close and winter gathers, we warm our hearts and minds with Jennifer's Body, a film directed by Karyn Kusama and written by Diablo Cody. Megan Fox has revenge on her high school after a boy band seemingly kills her in a demonic ritual. Does her best friend, played by Amanda Seyfried, have a crush on her, or is it just a deep childhood connection? Who at their high school will fall prey to Megan Fox's reign of terror? Initially a bomb at the box office, Jennifer's Body has slowly become a cult classic. It is very "2009". Check it out with us.

Japanese cyberpunk horror revisited, this time with disintegrating child. Montages of metal nightmare imagery. A fever dream of hatred and self- loathing. A tea kettle made out of a living cat. These things and more await us in this polished sequel to Tetsuo: The Iron Man. Peter and Jacob explore the director Shinya Tsukamoto’s dysfunctional father, deciding what final monster form is best, and what Dean Koontz novels are worth reading.

Dario Argento, the master filmmaker behind Suspiria, now brings you a tale of terror and chimps. Phenomena is a delightful Italian horror film about a young Jennifer Connelly using her ability to communicate with insects to catch an elusive serial killer in the slopes of "Swiss Transylvania"! Join us as we delve into the reckless disregard for the actors involved, including Jennifer Connelly's finger getting bitten off in real life during shooting. A hapless chimp on the loose out to redeem herself, Donald Pleasance in a wheelchair faking a Scottish accent. A weird, deformed, spear-wielding killer on the loose. Millions of flies at the whim of a young girl. The movie is magical and gory all over! The heatwave in the PNW and an unfortunate bout of food poisoning delayed the release of this episode, apologies! As such, I don't yet know what the next episode is yet, so no trailer this time! Oh the suspense! What might the next episode be! Special thanks to Your City Sleeps for some fine tracks used in the episode!

Two of the best of friends must fend off the incursion of college kids onto their dream vacation cabin! Misunderstandings abound. Hillbilly stereotypes are challenged! The hills do not have any eyes! Tucker and Dale Versus Evil is a heartwarming horror comedy that is sure to entertain even your most disinterested friend who never wants to watch horror films. Coax your significant other into watching this movie. Tyler Labine and Alan Tudyk are exceptional as the titular Tucker and Dale, two lonely, well-meaning rednecks with hearts of gold and very, very bad luck. A genuinely funny film, but don't worry, people still die in this one. Will they survive the evil? What really is a hillbilly? Can't we all just get along?

We go deep diving in artistic Japanese cyber splatter core body horror madness. Who is going to stop us? You? I don't think so! Join us as we discuss this short, intense, influential Japanese cult horror film, Tetsuo: The Iron Man! A metal-controlling maniac is out for revenge against a business man, and that is the extent of the story! We go into the grueling filming schedule, the terrible psychological toll it had on the cast and crew, causing most to totally abandon the project long before it was eventually finished. Marvel as we tell you of the tin foil and tv parts used to create the artistic madness of Tetsuo. Then we make fun of Bram Stoker's literary influence for a while, just because. Did you ever want to see what Magneto would do if he was a weird Japanese guy who lived in a junkyard? Now you can!

Nicholas Cage and cosmic mind-bending horror go hand in hand like chocolate and peanut butter, and it tastes just as good. On this episode, Jacob and Peter explore the depths of Lovecraft for the first time on the podcast. We go scene by scene, spoiling as we go. We compare it to the original story. We marvel at Nick Cage’s acting. We debate the uselessness of fighting cosmic space gods. Is the story of the Color Out of Space meant to be a story about the working man’s plight in the face of unknowable catastrophe? Just how racist was Lovecraft? What is the best Lovecraftian horror film? All this, plus Tommy Chong, alpacas, and a witch on a white horse. What’s not to love here? Trailer for next month's episode at 2 hours, 44 minutes, 19 seconds.

Welcome to our frightmare, boils and ghouls! We finally delve into the Cryptkeeper's first foray into cinema with the 1995 classic (?) Tales From the Crypt Present: Demon Knight. It'll be a scream! Am I using these puns correctly? Starring William Sadler and the incomparable Billy Zane in one of his best performances. Good, sleazy fun. Excellent gore effects. Questionable, two dimensional characters! What more can you AXE for? Speaking of which, let us know what you want us to do next! Or don't.

Join us as we descend into the campy depths of the Tubi streaming service! Jacob has unearthed a ghastly bit of creepypasta cinema for us all to partake. The 2017 film "The Raking". Is it any good? Not really! We are less than kind in this one, which we hope you all enjoy immensely. But really, even the little movies deserve a chance, and where better to start than a paranormal rake-clawed monster that may or may not be afraid of sunlight?

The movie that put fast zombies on the map, and single-handedly revived the entire zombie horror subgenre! Join us as we discuss Danny Boyle’s gritty UK infection freakout film, 28 Days Later. Rage, rage against the dying of the genre! We also spend entirely too much time discussing Zack Snyder, and Jacob’s dog. It only recently occurred to us that the completeness of our reviews might make us an aid to the visually impaired. Are we just putting out overlong commentary tracks? You decide!

Merry Christmas and a happy new year. We round out the end of the year by reviewing the infamous Christmas cult sensation Krampus and the recent release of the new Naughty cut of the film. How could we not? It has kidnapping demons, David Koechner, anxiety-ridden holiday family dinners, evasive grandmas with shadowy pasts who simply refuse to speak English. Krampus is a good all-around film and a good starter for those unsure of if they want to dip their toe into, shall we say, meatier fare. Let us be your guide. Also, go watch Tremors, it's pretty good. Happy holidays folks. Stay safe, and for the love of God, do NOT tear up your letter to Santa!
