Filmjitsu puts a (fashionably late) final piece of candy into your Halloween haul with a review of the 1987 no-budget German exercise in poor taste, Nekromantik. Yeah, it’s about what it sounds like, and yes, it goes exactly where you think it will. But could anyone have predicted that Mike would react so violently to Jay’s cinematic claymore that he’d end up in the hospital? Mike recounts how this infamous slice of exploitation horror led to an actual emergency room visit before the guys count down their Bottom Five Romantic Horrors, a repugnant roll call of films that make love and disgust uncomfortably inseparable. (Spoiler: David Cronenberg shows up because of course he does.) As usual, things wrap with a spirited round of Dueling Double Bills before Mike reveals what’s next for Jay on the upcoming—and somehow still holiday-themed—episode. Yes, the podcast that wields films as deadly weapons has leapt straight from “Happy Halloween” to “Happy Holidays” faster than the seasonal aisle at Target. And honestly… what’s more hurtful than that?

The Filmjitsu Halloween train keeps 'a-rollin' with special guests Justin Santo and Diego Santo-Munoz who join their dad, regular co-host Jay, for an impromptu examination of the entire Final Destination franchise! From death by speeding bus to piercings in uncomfortable places, this horror-heavy episode braves some dangerous and bizarre twists of fate during the main review of every film in this storied series, before diving headfirst into an extended three-person bottom five roundtable about cinematic deaths! From decapitations to shark attacks, and tommy-gunning to scissor-suicide, the Santo clan keep the calendar page pinned to the last day of October! So put down those Hummel Christmas Dolls and re-light your Jack-o-Lantern, because at the podcast that wields films as deadly weapons, Spooky Season is over when we say it's over!

It’s that time of year again—the pumpkins are lit, the coffins creak open, and the Filmjitsu Halloween Series rises from the grave! In this first of three frights for the season, Mike hands Jay a slice of ‘90s pay-cable horror cheese: Tales from the Crypt Presents: Bordello of Blood! Starring Dennis Miller as a snarky private eye investigating a brothel full of bloodsuckers, this late-night relic from 1996 proves that not every tale from the Crypt was worth telling. Will Jay find pleasure in this neon-soaked vampire romp, or will Miller's painful wisecracks and the film's nonsensical plot make him cancel his HBO subscription? After the main review, the guys drain a few pints of creativity for their Bottom Five '...of Blood's, a gloriously stupid challenge where they take perfectly respectable non-horror movies, slap “of Blood” onto the title, and pitch their own horrific re-imaginings. From Drop Dead Fred of Blood to On Golden Pond of Blood, it’s a cornucopia of cinematic crimes against good taste! And because it wouldn’t be Halloween without a little extra mischief, the episode wraps with a terrifying round of Dueling Double Bills, where random horror picks force the hosts to conjure the ultimate double features from Hell. So sharpen your stakes, fill your goblet, and lock your crypt, because Filmjitsu is back in black (and red) for Halloween—and this time, blood is on tap!
