How I Met Your Monster

We wrap up our TOO HOT TO ROT triple feature with Peter Jackson's gooey gonzo gorefest. Moms are nitpicking, priests are ass-kicking, and one love-struck mama's boy just brought a lawnmower to a zombie fight as we visit the Wellington Zoo to meet its newest addition: a deadly Rat Zombie and its pustulating zombie horde in DEAD ALIVE.

We continue our "Too Hot to Rot" triple feature with Robert Eggers' 2024 Nosferatu, joined by returning guest Chris Cooney of Dead Noise Media. We dig into Bill Skarsgård's Count Orlok (the voice training, the prosthetics, the hat debate) and compare this version to the 1922 original and Bram Stoker's Dracula. 

In this episode:

Why this Nosferatu shares so much DNA with Bram Stoker's Dracula, the 1922 original, and Shadow of the Vampire

Robert Eggers' practical-effects obsession: 2,000 real trained rats, real wolves, and potato-flakes for snow

Bill Skarsgård's transformation into Count Orlok: an opera coach, a lowered vocal register, and 4-6 hours in prosthetics designed by David White

The mustache and hat debate: why Orlok looks so different from past versions

Episode 158: Return of the Living Dead 3 — We're kicking off our "Too Hot to Rot" triple feature with Brian Yuzna's gory, surprisingly romantic zombie classic. Joined by special guest Steven from The Nightmare Trials podcast, we dig into the practical effects work of Steve Johnson, the franchise's tonal shift from satire to tragic love story, and why these unkillable, conscious zombies are some of the most genuinely unsettling in the genre.

We wrap up our IT'S VOODOO, BABY triple feature with Wes Craven’s voodoo-doomed descent into near-death delirium. Zombies are real, the dead still feel, and we're traveling to Haiti at the height of the regime-ending anti-Duvalier protests to meet the soul-snatching bokor Captain Peytraud in THE SERPENT AND THE RAINBOW.
