Friday the 13th Part 8 vol 2 (w/ Beau North and Sammi Campbell) redux
Ahoy, there! The good ship Kill By Kill is setting sail for familiar shores as we revisit this episode, discussing Friday the 13th Part 8: Jason Takes Manhattan! Today, we're missing our 1st Mate, Gena, but we're not alone! Joining us for this "Doomed Cruise" are the hosts of Excessively Diverted, Beau North & Sammi Campbell, to help us keep Friday the 13th Part 8: Jason Eventually Gets to a Major Metropolitan City Center on course. Along the way, we discuss how the movie connects to Ju-On, attempt to square the idea of what Jason piloting a boat must look like, and try to tell the tale of the “Hot Rock Recipient.” All this plus, we pitch Kramer vs. Kramer vs. Jason Voorhees to the Hollywood elite before dusting off a round of Choose Your Own Death-venture!

Hokum (2026)
If you want to unlock horror fun this Halloween, we’ve got the key. That’s right, wrap yourself in a sweater, grab a tall cup o’ joe, and join us for a cozy getaway from rural Ireland for this week’s film, HOKUM. Along the way, we talk terrible online takes on horror movies, discuss Damian McCarthy’s personal obsessions with weird folk art, and we wonder why any businessperson would build a hotel right on top of a witch’s burrow. All this, plus trad wife takes, fan interactions, witch capture construction, “pee ‘o clock,” bad murder plot planning, and a rather grizzly edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure. This is a weirdly loose and fancy-free episode considering the subject matter, but we’re trying to have fun during the end times, people! Join us for a stay.

Interview with The Cycle director Jordan Downey
There's a good reason to howl this week as we preempt our regularly scheduled redux episode to talk with Jordan Downey, the director of the excellent new Shudder exclusive THE CYCLE. We dig into his horror influences, explore how Critters got its teeth into him, consider the dangers of wet creatures, and sing along to the sultry tunes of David Soul. All this, plus family trauma overload, cops on the hunt, big brother influences, bad vampire planners, and good movies to add to THE CYCLE as a double feature.

Trick 'r Treat vol. 1
If you don't follow the rules on Halloween night, you won't live to see tomorrow - but you may survive long enough to hear the first half of our in-depth coverage of the 2009 cult classic, TRICK ‘r TREAT. That’s right, we’re digging into the backstory of how the movie was made, what role Superman played in messing with its theatrical release, and which movie scared the studio so badly that they ended up holding it back completely. All this, plus forbidden parties, hated X-Men, Jigsaw’s unwitting posse, VHS subterfuge, ghost crucifixions, and a fun-sized edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure. Head door-to-door for a little murder and mayhem, won’t you? NOTE: This episode and the next required multiple attempts to complete due to two hospitalizations, one extended internet interruption beyond our control, and a massive software snafu. Please forgive any audio quality issues, as this was the best that they could be repaired at this time. Part of the BLEAV Network.Get even more episodes exclusively on Patreon!

Carrie vol.2 (w/ Joe Lipsett and Trace Thurman) redux
This week, to celebrate the new Prime version of Carrie, we're looking back at two previous remakes of the seminal Stephen King spectacular, CARRIE. And we’re bursting out of the scary prayer closet with two Retuning Champions you know and love - from Horror Queers, it’s Joe Lipsett and Trace Thurman here to help us with two more modern "Black Proms" and the problems that come with them!! Can any version of Carrie live up to DePalma’s? What if you add a lot of Dutch-angled, Vaseline-lensed SyFy Original visuals? What if you turn Carrie White into Darth Vader? How did Trace traumatize dance class bros? Do either of the remakes beat The Rage: Carrie 2? It’s a battle of Christ Hartigans, lackluster Tommys, uneven Sues, and divergent Margrets!! All this, plus internet backlashes, plugs and tips, Carrie vs. Jigsaw, bad Billys, thick blood, wonky CGI, and a gym full of Choose Your Own Deathventure!! It’s twice the Horror Queers, twice the Carrie, and twice the Uncle Steve for one redux episode. Part of the BLEAV Network.Get even more episodes exclusively on Patreon!
