First up is The Beach House (2019), a moody slow-burner that takes an intimate getaway and twists it into a Lovecraftian nightmare of infection and despair. Then, it’s time to crack open the beer and crank the synths for The Mutilator (1984)—a slasher that answers the age-old question: what happens when your dad’s beach house turns into a kill zone? The guys talk ridiculous weapons, absurd one-liners, and that unforgettable theme song, “Fall Break!” Finally, the sand isn’t safe in Blood Beach (1980), where something beneath the surface is snatching up unsuspecting sunbathers. Is it a monster? A metaphor? Or just an excuse for John Saxon to glare at people while the '80s happen around him? Mike and Steve dig deep to find out.

They kick things off with a breakdown of Clown (2014), the body-horror tale of a father cursed by an ancient demon masquerading as a clown suit. Next up is Stitches (2012), a slasher-comedy romp where a vengeful undead clown crashes a teenager's party with hilariously gory results. Finally, they close with the cult classic Killer Klowns from Outer Space (1988), a candy-colored nightmare filled with popcorn guns, cotton candy cocoons, and extraterrestrial absurdity.
On this squirm-inducing episode of The Corpse Cast, Mike and Steve dig deep into the dark, damp underworld of killer bug horror. First up: the Spanish-American cult classic Slugs (1988), where flesh-eating mollusks make suburban life a literal hellhole. Then, the guys crawl back to 1976’s Squirm, where a downed power line turns innocent earthworms into writhing, toothy death machines. Finally, they wrap up with The Nest (1987), a deeply '80s gem packed with mutant cockroaches, mad science, and some seriously grotesque practical effects.

In this deep-dive horror episode, Mike and Steve take a blood-soaked trip through the chilling, surreal world of Dario Argento’s Three Mothers Trilogy.

Then they plunge into 1980’s Inferno, where Argento dials up the visual storytelling and occult mysticism, and the guys debate whether style truly trumps substance. Finally, they close with Mother of Tears (2007), the long-awaited and controversial finale, exploring whether it delivered the epic conclusion fans hoped for—or left them sighing for different reasons.
