Messed Up Movie Draft: WITCHES
The Craft. Suspiria. The Witch. We're drafting the best witch movies, and apparently agreeing on what counts as a witch movie is half the battle. Griffey, Heath and the combined forces of Sam and Sophia compete to build the ultimate four-movie witch lineup. With Weapons, The Blair Witch Project and other favorites off the board, things get competitive fast. We get into the childhood trauma of The Witches, the nasty magic of Sleepy Hollow, the contained horror of The Autopsy of Jane Doe and the pure chaos of Drag Me to Hell. Meanwhile, Griffey fights for a witch with one scene in Legend, The House of the Devil gets vetoed, and a last-minute switch shakes up the final lists. Plus: Black Phillip, the enduring appeal of The Craft, and Sam's story about an alleged demon-summoning incident in a public library bathroom. We have questions. Who drafted the strongest lineup: Heath, Griffey, or Sam and Sophia? Vote in the comments and tell us which witch movie we missed. Spoilers for several films discussed.

The Night Eats the World
Today Griffey and Dandino bang the drum and face the zombie apocalypse in The Night Eats the World. They crack open the more somber/introspective tone of the film which makes it such a rewardind film in a watered down genre, the small moments of human truth in this lonely apartment, and unpack the true horror of at the root of the zombie story that this film brings back beautifully. This movie should be a modern Messed Up classic, which has criminally fallen between the cracks. So pull up a drum stool and join us in celebrating a zombie masterpiece. Synopsis: The morning after a party, a young man wakes up to find Paris invaded by zombies. Starring: Anders Danielsen Lie, Golshifteh Farahani, Denis Lavant Directed by Dominique Rocher Youtube: https://youtu.be/4Wfn6dupb8E Keep up with all the news on our first feature film Mr. Creamjeans' Hidey Hole as it is about to premiere this month at Fantastic Fest: https://www.misfitparade.com/ Support the show on the Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/messedupmoviespod

Hope
Everyone seems to be dunking on Hope for claims of poor CGI. We don't care how messed up the VFX look as long as the movie messes up our minds! Luckily, Hope mostly delivers! On this New Movie Monday, Griffey, Heath and Sam get into HOPE's incredible opening, chaotic creature attacks, surprisingly hilarious characters and an ending that leaves plenty to argue about. Griffey makes the case for its sheer filmmaking ambition. Heath questions the plot armor and repeated action beats. Sam thinks the whole thing might work better as a series. FULL SPOILERS, including the ending and post-credits scene. Did HOPE earn its epic scale, or were you ready for it to end? Give us your take in the comments.

The Host
Today Griffey and Dandino fight to save what little we have from a Mutant Fish Creature in The Host. They dive deep into the film's incredible Monster introduction set piece, how Bong Joon Ho uses everyday life to sink his fangs into the audience more than the monster, and the film's suprisingly funny tonality. This movie was an early harbinger of the amazing work we all had in store from a now master of Modern Messed Up cinema. Synopsis: A monster emerges from Seoul's Han River and begins attacking people. One victim's loving family does what it can to rescue her from its clutches. Starring: Song Kang-Ho, Byun Hee-Bong, Park Hae-il Directed by Bong Joon Ho Youtube: https://youtu.be/WPSpT1TRby8 Keep up with all the news on our first feature film Mr. Creamjeans' Hidey Hole as it is about to premiere this month at Fantastic Fest: https://www.misfitparade.com/ Support the show on the Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/messedupmoviespod

Killer Tomatoes Co-Creator Costa Dillon
What happens when one ridiculous movie idea grows into a genuine cult phenomenon? On this episode of the Messed Up Movies Podcast, we sit down with Costa Dillon, the creator and co-writer of Attack of the Killer Tomatoes!, to discuss the story behind one of the most recognizable cult movies ever made. Costa takes us inside the creation of Killer Tomatoes, the independent filmmaking spirit behind the original movie, and the unexpected life the franchise developed after its release. We talk about its famously absurd premise, its lasting reputation, and what it is like to remain connected to killer tomatoes nearly five decades later. Whether you grew up watching the original film, discovered the sequels or animated series, or have always wondered how a movie called Attack of the Killer Tomatoes! actually got made, this conversation is packed with cult-movie history. Subscribe to Misfit Parade for more interviews, horror discussions, movie drafts, and episodes of the Messed Up Movies Podcast. What is your favorite part of the Killer Tomatoes franchise?

Onslaught
How super should super soldiers behave? That's the burning question for Griffey and Sam as Heath does his best to fend off this onslaught of critiques against his favorite movie of the year. This week on the Messed Up Movies Podcast, we're digging into Adam Wingard's ONSLAUGHT, a slick, violent collision of military conspiracy, Nazi super soldiers, trailer-park survival horror and pure Rule of Cool filmmaking. Adam Wingard is back in the bloody, stripped-down genre territory that gave us YOU'RE NEXT and THE GUEST. So is ONSLAUGHT the return horror fans have been waiting for? FULL SPOILERS AHEAD. Is ONSLAUGHT one of Adam Wingard's best movies, or does all that style ultimately overpower the substance? Let us know where you landed in the comments.

Stephen King Movie Draft
Stephen King has given us some of the greatest horror stories ever written and some of them even became great movies! This week on our Messed Up Movies Draft, Griffey, Heath, Sam and Sophia go head-to-head to build the ultimate four-movie Stephen King lineup. There is, however, one problem: THE SHINING and CARRIE are BANNED. We've picked them too many times, so we are locking them in Room 237 until further notice. That leaves everything else on the board, from The Mist, Misery, The Shawshank Redemption, Pet Sematary and Creepshow to IT, Stand By Me, The Green Mile, Doctor Sleep, The Running Man, Children of the Corn and plenty of increasingly questionable decisions *cough SOPHIA cough* Along the way, we get into what actually makes a great Stephen King adaptation, why his stories have endured for generations, the movies that completely nailed his particular brand of American horror, and the adaptations that maybe should have stayed buried. YOU decide who drafted the best Stephen King movie lineup. Drop your winner in the comments or vote in our Instagram poll.
