This month, The Blind Rage Podcast is celebrating the 40th anniversary of A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET with back-to-back episodes of FREDDY’S NIGHTMARES!
Kicking off the festivities is DO DREAMS BLEED?, a high school love story intertwined with a series of axe murders. John, a star quarterback, dreams of the killings committed by a maniac dubbed The Chopper. These dreams turn his world upside down when they become a permanent fixture. Soon, it is believed he is actually the one wielding the axe.
Is John truly to blame, or is someone else stalking the suburban streets of Springwood?
Someone John knows quite well…

Behold! Montag the Magnificent is going to dazzle the eyes with a trick never before seen! He’s going to saw a woman in half…only this woman isn’t tucked neatly in a box…and he’s going to use an actual running chainsaw.
It’s week three of Herschell Gordon Lewis month on The Blind Rage Podcast! This time, we’re taking a look at the original 1970 splatterfest THE WIZARD OF GORE, the story of a magician/illusionist who butchers women live on stage. But is what the audience sees truly real?

Herschell Gordon Lewis month continues on The Blind Rage Podcast! For week two, we’re taking a look at 1965’s COLOR ME BLOOD RED, the story of Adam Sorg, a struggling artist, who finds it impossible to locate the perfect shade of red. That is, of course, until his girlfriend cuts her finger open and a lightbulb goes off.
Adam’s paintings gain the attention of a respected art dealer and he is encouraged to create more. Only trouble is…where is he going to find that perfect shade?

YEEEEEEEEE-HAW!!!
The Blind Rage Podcast is celebrating the month of October with horror icon Herschell Gordon Lewis! Kicking things off is TWO THOUSAND MANIACS, a film that has been delighting genre devotees with its over-the-top gore and off-brand of delinquent humor the past 60 years!
The small Southern town of Pleasant Valley is holding a very special ceremony…err…I mean celebration. There’ll be food, music, games, and a bloodbath of epic proportions. The residents of this little town have been waiting 100 years to exact vengeance on those who’ve wronged them and they’ll make sure the opportunity is properly seized.

“We’re almost not even related anymore…”
Fall is upon us and The Blind Rage Podcast is wrapping up A September of School Scares with John Fawcett’s 2000 cult classic GINGER SNAPS!
Sisters Ginger and Bridgitte (Katherine Isabelle and Emily Perkins) are teenage outcasts. On the night of a full moon, they encounter something that furthers their inclusion among their peers. Ginger is brutally attacked by an otherworldly figure and soon notices she’s changing. The wounds she suffered—wounds that should be life-threatening—are already healing. Hair sprouts in the most unusual places. A tail extends from her lower back.
At a time when Ginger should be transitioning from a girl to a woman, she’s transitioning into something else entirely.
Something very, very deadly.

A September of School Scares is rapidly coming to an end here on The Blind Rage Podcast. For the penultimate episode, we’re taking a look at Katt Shea’s severely, disgracefully, criminally underrated THE RAGE: CARRIE 2.
In this sequel to Brian DePalma’s immortal classic, we’re introduced to Rachel Lange (Emily Bergl), a high school outcast whose world is shattered when her best and only friend (Mena Suvari) commits suicide after being dumped by a popular boy (“Home Improvement” star Zachary Ty Bryan).
We learn that members of the football team are having casual encounters with female students, then quickly tossing them aside. To make matters more unseemly, they keep a notebook, where the girls are judged on their looks, as well as sexual performance. What they don’t know is that Rachel, much like her half-sister, holds telekinetic powers, and the prank they have planned is about to go very, very wrong. -
The Blind Rage Podcast carries on A September of School Scares with PLEDGE NIGHT, a late ‘80s oddity exposing the real life horrors of fraternity hazing. Well, sort of.
While penning the script, Joyce Snyder visited fraternities to investigate what members of the university elite were forced to endure before being offered the golden ticket. Many of these rituals were incorporated into the story, along with a bizarre subplot centered around a prank gone horribly wrong.
Killed in 1969, Acid Sid returns to the scene of the crime to wreak bloody vengeance, even though no one currently occupying the house had anything to do with his death. Spewing corny one-liners, most of them phrases found on bumper stickers in the 1960s, he dispatches victims by lighting a cherry bomb forced into a brother’s anus, strangling another with his own intestines, and wielding…an eggbeater.
It's bad on multiple levels, yet somehow watchable. Perhaps the many homoerotic overtones had something to do with it…

The school scares are far from over here on The Blind Rage Podcast!
This week, we take a look at THE HOUSE ON SORORITY ROW, a fairly paint-by-numbers slasher involving an innocent prank gone wrong, leaving a dead body in its wake. As always, our ensemble (this time, a group of seven sorority sisters) decide to conceal the crime instead of calling for aid.
But someone’s seen… Someone knows…
Someone who’ll make sure this sorority’s members are quickly and violently dispatched. -
It’s back-to-school month on The Blind Rage Podcast! Kicking things off is MASSACRE AT CENTRAL HIGH, an experiment in ‘70s exploitation notorious for waiting until the last scene to show any adults (teachers, parents) and for being an undeniable inspiration for the 1989 cult classic HEATHERS.
When David (Derrel Maury) transfers to Central High at the insistence of an old friend (Andrew Stevens), he discovers that the school is under a dictatorship led by the three richest, most popular students. Bored of seeing his fellow classmates ordered around and tormented, David decides to take matters into his own hands, dispatching of the school’s leaders in grisly fashion.
Almost immediately, those once considered underlings begin acting out in ways similar, if not worse, than those they’ve escaped. David decides there is only one thing he can do to finally set things right… -
The Blind Rage Podcast is using a sticky hand to wave a fond farewell to Sleazy ‘70s month.
With its graphic depictions of violence and sexual assault, Wes Craven’s original 1972 THE LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT outraged a nation. Surprisingly, Roger Ebert, a man known for being incredibly vocal about his revulsion for all things horror, gave the film a near-perfect score in his original review. Though condemned by many, the film went on to become a cult classic, inspiring endless copy cats, as well as an official (2009) and an unofficial (David DeFalco’s CHAOS) remake, both of which have been featured on past episodes of the podcast. -
“Dying’s easy. It’s over in a second. This hurts worse…”
The Blind Rage Podcast is keeping it sleazy with the original 1978 cult classic THE TOOLBOX MURDERS!
A series of brutal killings are committed at a small Californian apartment complex, all of them carried out by way of implements found in an average toolbox. The killer appears to be targeting young, attractive women in their twenties, but things take a turn when Laurie Ballard (Pamelyn Ferdin), a 15-year-old high school student, is abducted by the masked assailant.
The intensely graphic nail gun scene, as well as Stephen King’s fandom for the film, has not only helped the low-budget endeavor acquire cult status, but has kept horror fans interested nearly 45 years later. -
“Suck it, bitch.”
The Blind Rage Podcast continues Sleazy ‘70s month with Meir Zarchi’s original 1978 cult classic I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE, a film so notorious that it not only spawned its own subgenre, but inspired dozens of copycats over the past 40+ years.
Jennifer Hills, a New York City native, rents a cabin in the remote wilderness of Kent, Connecticut. There, she plans to spend the summer months crafting her first novel. Almost immediately, she is accosted by four ne’er-do-wells, who decide they’re going to spend the afternoon brutalizing her for their own sadistic pleasure.
But Jennifer is no shrinking violet.
After recovering from multiple assaults, she retaliates with some of the most iconic revenge sequences ever put to celluloid. A simple, but effective plot that continues to stand the test of time. -
A lost brother. A satanic cult. A Party City Halloween costume including a pair of cheap vampire teeth. Oh, and a large chalice filled to the brim with clumpy, discolored seminal fluids.
It’s Sleazy ‘70s Month on the Blind Rage Podcast and we’re kicking things off with one of Tom DeSimone’s earliest foray’s into the world of adult cinema: 1973’s SONS OF SATAN. To say it’s unpolished would be putting it mildly. It’s damn near unwatchable. And if it weren’t for all the sodomy, it would be a perfect selection for MST3K. -
This week, The Blind Rage Podcast takes a look at SHALLOW GRAVE, a straight-to-video quickie that, up until a few years back, was available exclusively on a long out-of-print VHS. Vinegar Syndrome has since found the original 35mm negative and gave this rarity the Blu-ray star treatment. But was it worth the effort? Ehh…
SHALLOW GRAVE is the story of four friends known for causing trouble at their private Catholic girls school. After a prank, which leads them in hot water with their head mistress, they set off to spend their spring break vacation in Fort Lauderdale. They, of course, have a breakdown, which leaves them stranded on a desolate road. One cliché leads to another and they end up witnessing a backwoods murder. Unfortunately for them, the killer happens to be the small town’s sheriff. Once he realizes they know his secret, they come to find just how far he’s willing to go to cover his tracks. -
“I’m so horny I could fuck a cow.”
Things are going from strange to downright bizarre on this week’s episode of The Blind Rage Podcast, as we take a look at Jackie Kong’s 1987 horror-comedy BLOOD DINER!
As children, brothers Michael and George witness the brutal death of their doting Uncle Anwar. 20 years later, they’re running a popular Hollywood diner, which serves exclusively vegetarian cuisine.
Or so their clientele believes.
Using one of Anwar’s many absurd rituals, Michael and George are able to resurrect their favorite uncle, only now, he’s a talking brain in a jar. With eyeballs. Following Anwar’s instructions to the letter, the brothers begin butchering and dismembering the city’s most immoral women, using their body parts to bring to life the ancient Egyptian goddess Shetar.
Following the blood trail, some local detectives are on the case. Unfortunately for Hollywood’s dwindling population, these guys are closer to Inspector Gadget than they are Hercule Poirot. -
“Want a date? Going out? Lookin’ for some action?”
On this week’s titillating episode of The Blind Rage Podcast, it’s Frank Henenlotter’s terrifying tale of sluts and bolts, the one and only FRANKENHOOKER!
After a freak mishap with an out-of-control lawnmower, Jeffrey Franken’s (James Lorinz) fiancée (Patty Mullen) is eaten by the maniacally spinning blades. Only a few pieces of her remain: an arm, a foot, and, of course, her head. Unable to accept the loss, Jeffrey concocts an elaborate plan to resurrect her, using the dismembered limbs of New York City streetwalkers to fill in the blanks.
Oh, and did I mention there’s supercrack?
FRANKENHOOKER is a hilarious and wildly entertaining dark comedy that remains a cult favorite, even close to 35 years later. I’m very happy to finally feature it on the podcast. -
The Blind Rage Podcast is ringing in the second week of July with Jim Hoskings’ absurdist horror-comedy THE GREASY STRANGLER, one of the most insane films we’ve covered so far.
Meet Big Braden, a middle-aged incel, who shares a filthy, mold-coated dwelling with his eccentric father Big Ronny. Together, they conduct disco walking tours, telling fabricated tales of the biggest acts of the ‘70s.
It is on one such tour that Braden crosses paths with Janet. An explosive—and extraordinarily awkward—love affair immediately ensues. Creating a rift in the lovers’ newfound bliss is the jealous and overbearing Big Ronny, not to mention a naked, grease-coated psychopath stalking the streets under the cover of night. Dubbed The Greasy Strangler, the menace attacks at random, collecting a host of mutilated bodies during his multiple wraths.
Things take an nasty turn when Braden begins to suspect Big Ronny could quite possibly be The Greasy Strangler… -
“Can you contract an STD by having sex with a dead person?”
The Blind Rage Podcast kicks off this month with Richard Bates, Jr.’s EXCISION, a film destined to be a cult classic.
Meet Pauline (AnnaLynne McCord), a high school outcast who aspires to one day become a surgeon. While most who plan for a career in medicine spend their days studying the human body, Pauline believes her understanding of the subject is far superior than anything found in necessary textbooks. She instead fills her days engaged in pseudo psychological counseling with a local priest (John Waters), isolating herself from her classmates by acting out in a plethora of reprehensible antics, and praying to a God she isn’t sure exists.
With strong performances by McCord, as well as Traci Lords, who plays Pauline’s overbearing mother, EXCISION is a breath of fresh air, especially in times like these, when most filmmaking is more copy and paste than innovation or originality. -
Again, The Blind Rage Podcast says good-bye to one of horror’s most iconic voices, as Stephen King Month 2.0 comes to an end.
With this fond farewell, we’ll be discussing A GOOD MARRIAGE, a seemingly overlooked adaptation of a novella, which appeared in the 2010 collection FULL DARK, NO STARS. Heavily inspired by the BTK case, Joan Allen stars as Darcy, an ordinary suburban housewife, who discovers that her husband of 25 years is a sadistic killer, preying on women long before their paths even crossed.
With his ability to read her better than anyone, Bob (Anthony LaPaglia) immediately knows she’s stumbled upon his secret. However, rather than killing her to keep that secret safe, Bob tells her that she can go to the authorities if she so desires, he’ll do nothing to stand in her way. But this revelation will not only ruin her life, as no one will believe Darcy hadn’t known of his crimes, but it will also ruin the lives of their adult children, whose perception of their kind and loving father will be forever shattered.
That was a far too long and clunky sentence, but then again, I’m no Stephen King. Clearly. - Vis mere
