TERRIFIER 3 Secrets, Horror Legends & the Most Whiskey Ever Drank on the Podcast This week on the Whiskey Morgue Podcast, Mike sits down with filmmaker and producer Marcus Slabine to talk horror, filmmaking, and the winding road that led him from working on blockbuster productions like The Dark Knight Rises and The Amazing Spider-Man 2 to projects including STREAM, Dark Offerings, Terrifier 3, and his upcoming feature, Sundown. Marcus shares stories from filming during COVID, working with horror icons, and the challenges of keeping continuity intact on the Terrifier films.

The Most Overhated Horror Remake of the 2000s? In this episode of After the Last Rental, Zack pulls House of Wax off the shelf while Mike pours a glass of Maker’s Mark. From Paris Hilton’s infamous “See Paris Die” marketing to the sticky practical effects overshadowed by the glossy early-2000s cast, the guys revisit a remake that may deserve more credit than its reputation suggests. Along the way they talk doomed road trips, hillbilly horror, the death of the curated movie soundtrack, and why the town of Ambrose feels like a cursed roadside attraction somewhere between Tourist Trap and Clifton Hill. Will House of Wax stand the heat… or melt under the flame? 👍 Like, comment, and subscribe for more classic movie reviews and pairings.

This week on the Whiskey Morgue Podcast, I’m joined by whiskey reviewer, sneaker enthusiast, former Malt Review contributor, and Bourbon Pursuit regular Matt Kusek for a conversation that blends horror, whiskey, wrestling, and sneaker culture. We talk about growing up with Chicago horror icon Svengoolie, the magic of late-night horror hosts, and the uniquely weird cultural identity of Chicago. We also dive into whiskey trends deserving of a rubber chicken, legendary Halloween Nike releases, the mythic Freddy Krueger SB Dunks, and the similarities between sneaker hype and bourbon hunting. Plus: underrated whiskey picks, favourite wrestlers, and Matt’s ultimate white whale sneaker. Stay Spooky!

On this episode of After the Last Rental, Zack and Mike re-visit Freddy’s Dead: The Final Nightmare, the one that was supposed to actually bury the franchise, but somehow brought it roaring back to life. Zack pulls a final chapter that leans into bigger lore, bigger cameos, and bigger spectacle, while Mike pairs it with a pour of Weller Antique. Together, they break down a sequel that trades scares for style, where Freddy becomes more cartoon than nightmare, kills land like punchlines, and reality bends into full-on dream logic. From MTV-era energy and celebrity appearances to a deeper dive into Freddy’s origins, the duo breaks it all down through their “3 Sips System” to decide if this finale still holds up—or fades into parody.

On this episode of the Whiskey Morgue Podcast, Mike sits down with professional wrestler and actor Vinny Pacifico to talk about his journey from the wrestling ring to the world of horror with his upcoming indie horror film Mr. Reset and the Society of Turnbuckle & Bone. Vinny shares stories from working shows connected to All Elite Wrestling, training with some of the industry’s best, and developing his “Don’t Count Vinny Out” mindset. The conversation dives into the crossover between wrestling theatrics and horror storytelling, how Mr. Reset came together, and Vinny even takes on a rapid-fire round featuring dream wrestling heels, zombie apocalypse tag partners, and who wins in a street fight—Michael Myers or The Undertaker. Pour a drink and join us for a fun mix of wrestling, horror, and behind-the-scenes stories. Stay Spooky!

Mike from Whiskey Morgue is teaming up with Zack Lovitz of Terror Racks Video in this episode of, After the Last Rental. We're pouring a drink, reviewing a VHS from Zack's video store, and discussing why these classic movies still matter. In this episode, Mike and Zack rewind the tape on Candyman: Farewell to the Flesh, pairing the Mardi Gras–set sequel with a pour of Starlight Honey Finish Bourbon. Through their “3 Sips System,” they revisit childhood impressions, unpack the film’s mythology, religion, and themes of belief and reckoning, and explore how Candyman’s presence lingers beneath the celebration. From unforgettable kills and eerie symbolism to overlooked depth dismissed by critics in the ’90s, the hosts ask whether this sequel was ahead of its time and decide if it earns a rating of Neat, On the Rocks, or Watered Down. 👍 Like, comment, and subscribe for more classic movie reviews and pairings.
