Season 9: Episode :76: That Ray Dennis Steckler Retrospective Part 2!
Originally Recorded on  March 11th, 12th, and 25th, 2023 Greetings and salutations, fans! That Horror Show Podcast presents Part Deux of our Ray Dennis Steckler retrospective! Tune in as hosts Timothy Kazda and Chris Koenig tackles Steckler's next productions, which feature enough behind the camera professionalism to capture the personal "home movie" horror film aesthetic. First up, Tim and Chris review "The Lemon Grove Kids Meet the Monsters" (1967-1969), a three-part short film series mash-up in which Steckler imitates the 'Bowery Boys' with his friends and family in 'The Lemon Grove Kids', 'The Lemon Grove Kids Meet the Green Grasshopper and the Vampire Lady from Outer Space' (phew...what a title!) and 'The Lemon Grove Kids...Go Hollywood!' And then, once when the 1970s began everything would change for Ray with his production of "The Chooper" (1971, aka "Blood Shack"), which shows you need a lot more than just the hot Nevada desert locale and a decrepit house complete with a soiled mattress to make a horror movie! But wait, that’s not all: Chris goes solo to review a couple of Steckler's later triple-X rated horror titles (so Tim doesn't have to!) of the likes such as "The Mad Love Life of a Hot Vampire", "Count Al-Kum" (oh, how witty, Ray!), "The Sexorcist Devil" and "Red Heat" (and yes, these reviews of Steckler's hardcore titles are NSFW, kids!). And we also have yet another Kids Corner review with Nate in which he talks about "M3GAN" (2022) with special guest Gabi.

Season 9: Episode 75: That Ray Dennis Steckler Retrospective Part 1!
Recorded on Saturday January 14th, Sunday January 15th and Sunday February 5th, 2023. Welcome to 2023, fans! That Horror SHow Podcast begins this brand new year with yet another retrospective, this time on a particular filmmaker who dabbled with the horror genre in his own unique ways: Ray Dennis Steckler! Regulated to near obscurity due to being a filmmaker that hinged outside of the "mainstream", Steckler's work is still ripe for rediscovery and re-evaluation, so your lovely hosts Timothy Kazda and Chris Koenig have decided to take the plunge into his works. First up is the film that most cult movie fans know of just by its title alone: "The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies !!?" (1963), a movie that has gone down in history thanks to (or no thanks to) the Golden Turkey Awards as 'The Worst Film Ever Made', a claim that the hosts are willing to challenge. Second up is what some Steckler fans consider his minimalist masterpiece "The Thrill Killers" (1965), a weird combo of trapped-in-Hollywood-rat-race film noir meets psychopathic murderers on a bloody rampage in the tradition of "Psycho"! And third is not a horror movie but the jewel-in-the-crown of Steckler's form of improvised cinema "Rat Pfink a Boo Boo" (1966), which begins as a movie featuring three thugs involved in a kidnapping and ends as a...oh, comon', you just gotta listen to find out!!! Also on hand is Nate's 'Kids Corner' and gives his take on none other than the Season 4 finale of 'Stranger Things'!

(THSP Classic Episode!) Season 2: Episode 20: That Black Christmas Holiday Special!
(THSP Classic Episode!) Originally recorded Tuesday December 13th, 2016 with a original air date of December 20th, 2016.   Happy Holidays, fans! That Horror Show Podcast is back with a very special Christmas-themed episode for you horror movie lovers out there. Yes, the Christmas tree is up with all the trimmings, the stockings are hung by the fireplace, and the eggnog with an extra pinch of brandy is ready to be consumed. And yes, that annoying little ‘Elf on the Shelf’ has been tied up and locked in the closet where he should be! Anyways, join in on the festivities as hosts Timothy Kazda and Chris Koenig review two holiday horror movies: “Black Christmas” and…well, "Black Christmas”. That’s right, Tim and Chris sing their praises over the Bob Clark classic “Black Christmas” (1974), as well as offer their grievances over Glen Morgan’s remake “Black Christmas” (2006).   But wait, there’s more: Tim and Chris also offer their favorite non-horror themed Christmas movies. Listen in as Chris talks a bit about his holiday favorites “Bad Santa” (2003), “Scandal” (1950) and “Larceny Inc.” (1942), while Tim reveals his holiday pleasures “The Long Kiss Goodnight” (1996), “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation” (1989) and “It’s a Wonderful Life” (1946). Consider this little segment a hybrid of the ‘What Have We Watched’ segment that you all know and love (and, in case if you are wondering, we will be bringing that segment back for next year’s episodes, we promise!).    #BlackChristmas #BobClark #THSP

Season 8: Episode 70: That Spiral From The Book of SAW Episode!
Recorded Saturday June 25th, 2022 Greetings and salutations, fans! That Horror Show Podcast brings you the fourth installment of our 'Saw' franchise review series! Wait, you thought the series ended with "Jigsaw"? Apparently Lionsgate/Twisted Pictures saw fit to squeeze a little more juice out of this franchise, and "Spiral: From The Book of Saw" (2021) is the ninth film to assault the unsuspecting public (and yes, you read that right, it is the NINTH film in this neverending series!!!). Who would have thought the first film started out as a low-budget wonder from a then-unknown James Wan - with an on-screen title that actually lives up to its promise! - and would begat an entire franchise? The mind boggles! And speaking of mind-boggling, Timothy Kazda and Chris Koenig have taken it upon themselves to check out the new entry. So does this follow-up break up its tried-and-true formula to do something else for a change...or is it the same old, same old story? Does Chris Rock prove he has the acting chops to tackle a horror movie worthy of his presence? And does this movie really have a "book" in it? To find the answers, all you have to do is give this episode a listen. But wait, that's not all: also joining in on the festivities is our special guest 'Saw' expert Chris Barreras to help your lovely hosts get through this incredibly exhaustive series! Plus a brand new Kidz Corner segment where Nate reviews his first R Rated film "Alien" (1979) .
