On this week's episode we jumped back to 1981 and covered an Australian movie called "Lady, Stay Dead." The story centers around handyman and serial killer Gordon Mason. He's obsessed with the actress/music superstar Marie Coleby. He takes care of the grounds around her remote Australian estate. Things go off the rails when Marie rejects Gordon's advances. Next thing you know, her sister Jenny comes to visit and has to contend with Gordon's psychosis. It's an interesting movie and we've watched and recorded our thoughts her for you! Enjoy!

On this week's podcast we covered "The Barn" from 2016. It's made in 2016 but set in 1989. We follow the story of Sam and Josh and their friends as they travel to a Halloween night rock concert. They get detoured to the town of Wheary Falls and stop near a barn at the local pumpkin patch. But the group accidentally unleashes a terrifying triple threat of demons in the form of The Miner, The Pumpkin Man, and The Scarecrow. Our gang of teens need to find a way to escape the horror, save the town, but they might miss their rock concert. Let us know what you think!

On this week's episode we connected via online teleconference style to talk about "Hell House LLC" from 2015. It's a found footage movie with a twist. They tell the story like it's a documentary which makes the found footage 'fit in' a little better than other movies that do similar things. And let's just say students, this one gets it right. Light on gore, but heavy on creep factor. We both loved it. It's the story of a group of friends opening a haunted house at an old abandoned hotel. But on opening night, there's a terrible tragedy. And five years later, a documentary crew is on the case trying to get to the bottom of what happened. Definitely a great watch for Spooky Season. Let us know what you think!

It's our first time back in-studio for a recording in what feels like ages. And so sorry we picked kind of a dud of a movie to cover. It's "Cheater Cheater" from 2024. It's the story of Joesph Givens, who returns to his hometown after getting his life together and sobering up over the last 5 years. But Joe's past also returns to catch up to him. After 5 random killings rocked the town 5 years ago, now that Joe's back, the killing starts up again. And the killer is wearing a creepy pumpkin mask. That's the only reason we picked this movie to cover during the Halloween season. Listen and try to enjoy! We watched it for you!

Welcome to Season 11 of SlashU! We've made it back to you after a September break. And to kick off both our new season and the Spooky Season, we covered "Haunt Season" from 2024. The story centers around Matilda, a new hire at a seasonal haunted house. While Matilda learns the ropes of scaring people, she grapples with what she's going to do next in her life. Should she pursue an acting career in Los Angeles? But it's scary moving to a whole new city and taking that chance! It's a good thing that for now, all she has to do is focus on surviving the Halloween season. Because someone's stalking and murdering other actors in the haunted house. Can Matilda and her friends find out who it is before it's too late? Plus we sat down with writer/director of "Haunt Season;" Jake Jarvi. He was kind enough to talk to us about the making of the film along with some of his favorite things about horror. Listen, enjoy, tell a friend and welcome back to SlashU!

This week we sat down with Wisconsin horror author and all-around nice guy DJ Slater. DJ has a horror novel coming out September 16th, 2025 called Legend Has it. Full details about the book and all information about DJ can be found at DJSlaterAuthor.com.

The story sounds like a great one:

"Seth and his friends have always heard about a legendary 10-story haunted house that travels around the Midwest every October. It's one of those haunted houses that really pushes the limits. You even have to sign a waiver! But is this traveling haunted house just an urban legend? Well, maybe. But then how do Seth and his friends wind up on its doorstep? And what horrors will they discover inside?"

We talked to DJ about his writing process, his love of the horror genre, and living in Wisconsin. Take a listen and check out his book when it drops on September 16th, 2025.

This week we covered our second movie in our annual Shark Week departure. It's "Sky Sharks" from 2020. This one has a bit of everything; Nazi's, Zombies, and Flying Sharks. As a result, it's kind of all over the place. But in a shorter-than-usual episode we managed to cover the major plot points. This movie has so much stuff and people in it that don't really matter, it's sometimes hard to follow. Climate change has melted a glacier in the Arctic enough to expose an old Nazi warship that was frozen in the ice. The thaw-out jump started some old Zombie and flying shark experiments that the Nazis had conducted near the end of World War II. As a result, the Sky Sharks are set loose to terrorize the skies. Can the fine folks at Richter Technologies stop them in time? Maybe. Listen to our breakdown!
