WTC Episode 59 - A Nightmare On Elm Street (2010)

Listen, I GET IT, Nancy Month is ALWAYS May, I know, but we got busy and here we are. It's June! Enjoy part 3 of our Nancython as we watch the final Nightmare movie to feature Heather Langenkamp in her iconic role, WES CRAVEN'S NEW NIGHTMARE! How did the pre-Scream "meta" approach to the slasher genre go over? How did this very different version of Freddy compare to the original? Is Michael Jordan's Space Jam performance scarier than any Wes Craven classic could ever dream of being? You bet.

WTC Episode 58 - Wes Craven's New Nightmare (1994)

Nancy Month keeps on rollin' with Part 2: A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 3: THE DREAM WARRIORS! We may cover the other Nightmare sequels in the future but in this episode we continue the adventures of the OG Nightmare hero, NANCY THOMPSON! How does Freddy stack up against Nancy and her new Nightmare-Avengers team? Probably as bad as he stacks up against literally any teen hero in any of these movies - poorly! Does this one live up to the classic 1984 film or does it fall victim to sequelitis?

WTC Episode 57 - A Nightmare On Elm Street 3: The Dream Warriors (1987)

It's NANCY MONTH Thriller Club! After a quick hiatus and utter lack of La Llorona episode, we have returned to talk about Wes Craven's 1984 classic A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET! This kicks off the first in our series of Nightmare movies starring the OG protagonist Nancy Thompson! Does this movie hold up after 35 years or has it sunk to the to the lows of most schlocky 80s movies? Find out why Freddy is one of our favorite horror concepts, how we feel he stacks up in the slasher villain hierarchy, and whether Ryan's awful sick-voice is the true nightmare or not! Great!

WTC Episode 56 - A Nightmare On Elm Street (1984)

This week on the Weekly Thriller Club we wish we were reading comic books or watching literally any Guillermo del Toro movie but instead we're talking HELLBOY: The 2019 One! Did this film's vision warrant a complete reboot? Does this take on the source material at least measure up to the del Toro cult classics? And who exactly should we hold responsible for this thing, anyhow? Only one real unfortunate way to find out!

You get to relax to the soothing ambience of water dropping from the sky while struggling against the grating sounds of our voices as we delve into the latest horror remake PET SEMATARY! Were the changes made to this adaptation better or worse compared to the original adaptation? Was the cheese there, or is it replaced by the common modern horror vibe? Find out immediately, pls.

In preparation for the new remake, this week we’re taking a look at the 1989 original PET SEMATARY! This is a first-viewing for both of us! Does this movie live up to the “classic” label it always gets, or is it just another late-80’s cheesefest? All I know for sure after watching this movie is that dead truly is better.

WTC BONUS! - 2019 Horror Preview!

SPOILER WARNING! Major spoilers in every episode, but I forgot to say that during the intro so figured it'd be a good thing to mention here considering this movie just came out - it's Jordan Peele's latest creep-show, US! Does this film live up to the director's first movie or does he fall victim to the dreaded sophomore slump? Is Lupita Nyong'o the best actress working today? And what the heck is Tim Heidecker doing here? JOIN THE CLUB and take a listen!

WTC Episode 52 - Us (2019)

This week on The Weekly Thriller Club we're definitely NOT talking about Jordan Peele's Us because it just isn't out yet - that'll be next week. Instead, we're taking a friend-suggestion and watching the 2003 psychological thriller IDENTITY! So shouts out to the first actual THRILLER movie we've covered on a show with the word "thriller" in the name! Was this a classic "whodunit" or did it bite off a bit more than it could chew? Does anyone even read these episode descriptions? Pooed myself once in 5th grade... bet no one will read that.

We feel like we're reliving a nightmare while we talk about the teen-horror sci-fi romp HAPPY DEATH DAY 2U! Does this movie do a literal anything right compared to the original, or is it still sorta just... you know... bad?

WTC Episode 49 - Happy Death Day 2U (2019)

On a special mid-week episode of the ol' Club, Zach talks about having watched the latest demon child vs. horrified mother escapade THE PRODIGY while Ryan listens intently, having been too under-the-weather to make a screening - opting instead for Akira Kurosawa's masterpiece RAN. This is not a double-episode, I wish. Visit our Twitter: Twitter.com/ThrillerClubPod Or even our Instagram: Instagram.com/ThrillerClubPod Like the new intro tune?

So fire up your Netflick account, take a gander at Stephen King adaptation #627 and listen to us chat about it! We cover a boatload of topics ranging from old folks doing the dirty and the intricate details of BDSM, all the way to what makes body horror work and what constitutes as a failed visual metaphor!

WTC Episode 47 - Gerald's Game (2017)

This week we're talking PLANET TERROR (2007) and we're sort of giddy about it. Robert Rodriguez delivers his take on an exploitation zombie action movie and it'd be nice if he'd drop his current plans to just continue doing that forever. Find out what we think about the star-studded cast, the old-school 80s atmosphere, the wild absurdity of it all, and of course Quentin Tarantino 's melting dong.
