Horror N Heels

An underrated creature feature, specifically one about sharks! This shark doesn't get the respect he deserves as a petty, vengeful predator. Yes, petty. Blake lively also delivers some amazing facial expressions (not sarcasm!). Also, don't be the kind of person that deserves to get bitten in half. This is definitely one to watch before you catch this episode!

Why are people still going with strangers in foreign countries to places "off the beaten path"?

Check it, we got Freddy, Chucky, and baby girl Michael Myers in one film! Okay, they aren't those characters, but it's still pretty rad. This 1998 slasher classic is a fun ride, for some reason. We really can't put our finger on it, but aside from some logistics, it works.

Gen & Elicia finally met in person! Just a little inside peek into what we saw and did over the weekend. Panels, cosplay celeb sightings and our SHF Fam! It was a blasty blast and we can't wait to go back next year.

Will this movie make Elicia finally like Judy Greer? Listen along and find out as the girls talk about this modern day Werewolf classic.

If you're the type of person that thinks picking up any random person or creature on the side of the road is a good idea, Gen and Elicia are here to tell you why it is not.

Some pranks go wrong or do they??? Find out today while Elicia and Gen break down the 1980s good time horror movie April Fools!!! Ever wondered if we like a prank or nah? Listen up and you'll find out.

Dirty Diana! A rather underrated horror film, good writing, decent characters and creepy scenes make it worth the watch. If you didn't know, Lights Out was based on a short film of the same title, which you can find in our YouTube Playlist: Horror N Shorts.

Gen and Elicia couldn't sit through another Leprechaun movie so they watched Isolation which takes place on you guessed it a remote dairy farm in Ireland. We have some thoughts about this movie so sit back and listen to this weeks podcast.

Who knew paper grade could lead to broken ankles? Don’t get famous, kids. Listen as Gen and Elicia discuss this Stephen King classic.

Jessica Chastain takes "Ride or Die" girlfriend to a whole new level. What would you do if your boyfriend spent all his money to find his nieces who have been missing for 5 years, only to find out they've been raised by a ghost in the woods and now she's trying to kill you. We consider ourselves loyal, but don't know that we would've made it through this relationship.

All ain’t calm, all is fright! Talk about a traumatizing Christmas…poor Billy has had it rough since the age of 5, and nobody except one Sister seems to be paying attention….Santa Billy is coming to town!

What would another kid have to say to you to get you to slaughter your parents and the rest of the adults in town, "We won't have enough corn!"? Elicia & Gen need answers. Also, did you know Burt is a doctor?

Happy Halloween! We're taking on the alternate timeline of the Halloween universe with the 2018 film. This one takes place 40 years after the original 1978 movie and basically erases every movie since.   Spoiler ALERT: If you have not seen Halloween Kills, we suggest you skip this unless you don't mind spoilers! We don't say a lot, but it does come up!

Gen and Elicia are back for Season Two Baby!!! Tonight we discuss Shudders Exclusive Movie Haunt, also what we did during hiatus and what you can expect moving forward in season two.

Season One has come to a close. Gen and Elicia thank their guests and tell the audience what to expect from Season Two. Thank you all for a great first season. See you in October. #horrorpodcast #horrornheels #horrrormovies

The boys from PostCredit Podcast stopped by again. Full disclosure, the total time we talk about Sharknado is about 15 minutes and not consecutively…

A bunch of horny college kids on a private island on a lake. What could possibly go wrong?? The Summer Campiness continues with Shark Night! Enjoyable even in non-3D form.

Elicia's first horror movie and still one of her top ten. Does Gen love it as much? Listen and find out.

Betty White. That is all.

Yes, we are blessing you with two movies in one boob-filled episode! Crack open a spring break-approved beer and let's talk about these two creature features!

A fun, summer holiday celebration turns into a nightmare. People are breaking out in lesions and dying left and right! What the hell is happening in this small town?  Watch the movie to find out, or just listen to this episode. I, personally, recommend watching and then listening. Way more fun that way!  8/10 Heels - Gen & Elicia Here's info on the Festival put on by Another Goddamn Podcast!

The boys from ADH stopped by to see who’s got the best horror movie knowledge! They also dropped a fun little surprise that they’re cooking up…

Our first female guest and she's totally kick ass! If you haven't seen Stan Against Evil, you need to check it out! Deborah Baker Jr., who plays Stan's daughter, Denise, came to hang out with us today and we got some behind the scenes intel on the sets and cast of Stan...which was awesome. Find out the best way to describe Georgia weather and the secret behind the "Nubbins" dance.  Catch Stan Against Evil on Hulu, streaming now!

Not really an exact remake to it's namesake, this Prom Night takes a different approach than the 1980's version, which can be a bad or good thing. Why wasn't Usher used for the Prom DJ? It would've leveled the movie up! That is not Gabrielle Union you're looking at, it's Dana Davis! But she channels Gab U. like you wouldn't believe! Alls we know is Brittany Snow's character is never going to recover from this...

Don’t have evil children. At least that’s the moral of the story we got out of it…

The first movie remake we’ve noted as directed first by a guy then remade and directed by a female! How does her work hold up to the original? And if you thought the character of Tommy couldn’t get any more endearing, you were absolutely incorrect. Guys, takes notes…

"They're all gonna laugh at you!", we sure hope so Mrs. White, cuz that's what we do! This episode we explore the high school horror of Carrie. A young outcast girl who finds out she's got a big secret! We also want to shout out to Poltergeist, he makes horror movie themed rap songs, which are pretty cool. Check him out on Spotify (Poltergeist) and follow him on Instagram (@Poltergeist_OD)!

Ready or Not, here we come!  This week we're looking at Ready Or Not, an evil twist on the classic game of Hide & Seek! One of our favorite Final Girls, Grace is not necessarily to be f$&ked with, don’t let the wedding dress fool you.

You read that right guys!!! Gen and Elicia watched this movie in real time together and commented as we were watching. So cue up the 2005 watch a shirtless Ryan Reynolds battle an evil house with us.

How many flies does it take to get you to leave a room? Apparently it’s a gazillion and one for Father Delaney. Good for him for sticking to his commitment. We would’ve bounced. Also, Elicia gives us a little true crime backstory on the Amityville house, which is in her home state.

Welcome our new Podcast Pals, RL and JC from Brownmint Horror Podcast to the show! Our first meet & greet with these two fellas from "Slashville", TN.   Tramp stamps, whip cream boobies, horseshoe rings and everything in between....  Oh yeah, and we're talking about Final Destination 2, the movie that has ruined driving behind log trucks on the freeway forever. RL and JC bring the gripping questions and even challenge us to a little Horror Trivia.    Somehow we got through the show without Gen taking on an east coast or southern accent. Elicia goes through a couple bottles of her Midori cocktail and JC shows off his Horror Den at home.  Grab a drink, sit back and buckle up for this ride!   P.S. We thought we lost the first 45 minute to the Zoom black hole, but it was successfully recovered. So don't mind the reintroduction, lol  Next week we will be talking Final Destination 5 and we have a special guest, Arlen Escarpata who plays Nathan in the movie as well as Lawrence in Friday The 13th (2009)!

How do you beat Death’s design?? Another first for Elicia. The start of an early 2000s franchise classic. It’s basically the horror equivalent to the Fast & Furious in that they started our pretty legit then just got more ridiculous every movie. But the deaths are so fun how can you not love it?

Who knows what this episode is about... we're all Leprechauned out. We will not be offended if you skip this episode. We thought we were watching to different movies, it's a hot mess. If you would like to skip this week, just know that we'll be starting the Final Destination series next week!

Never mess with a Leprechaun’s gold. Yet another cautionary tale to just give the monster what they’re asking for, or better yet, don’t touch it in the first place!

We honestly couldn’t bring ourselves to talk about either choices we came up with this week. Boring AF! So, we decided to talk about movies coming out this year that we’re excited about! **Spoiler Alert** We do a little spoiling for the following movies: Ready Or Not, You’re Next & Halloween Resurrection!

This week we follow grown up Danny Torrance, played by the VERY attractive Mr. Ewan McGregor, gotta love the eye candy! More tips on how NOT to kill us and our wishes for how we die. What do you feed people who eat souls?  Long life in exchange for a most certainly shitty death? No thank you. " *Next week we will be watching Gretel and Hansel, available on Prime and Hulu.  **Apologies for some of the bad sounds, (that was our fault during recording, not Fred's) but it's better than my ridiculous pen clicking in the last one, amiright?

It's Gen's turn for a first! Another classic highly revered as one of the greatest movies, horror or not. It's winter time, it's cold, there's no one around for miles...we're actually talking about the lockdown, but that' why this movies is very timely for us to watch.  Honestly, the entire situation could've been avoided had Jack said "No" when he heard "Indian burial ground", nothing good ever comes from building on an ancient Indian burial ground.  This is also a good example of why one should caution parents and not just their child with the little boy in his mouth. Let's be honest, now that we've come close to experiencing this type of isolation, are we really still calling Jack a bad guy? All work and no play makes Elicia and Gen dull girls, so come play with us!

The last of our The Thing Trilogy! Elicia barely survived, but she made it! Kate Lloyd (Mary E. Winstead) is Ellen Ripley re-incarnated and she's a bad ass! Is she an underrated, overlooked Final Girl? Might be our new favorite. We discuss the flight instinct differences for certain ethnicities.  Lessons Learned:  1. Remember, it's always acceptable to "Nope" the f*%ck out of any shady situation, including a scientist with a vague mission in the middle of a frozen tundra.   2. Don't ever go alone with someone when you believe a killer is on the lose, whether it be human or creepazoid from outerspace.  3. Not brushing and flossing properly could save your life one day.  4. You can always "Nope" the f*%k out... 5. If you fall from a high distance, try to land on your chest, because apparently you can get right back up.  6. Always remember where your piercings are 7. In any situation where you are being attacked by anything: CLOSE YOUR DAMN MOUTH!

This week we popped Elicia's "John Carpenter's The Thing" cherry! Did she love it? Did she hate it? Tune in to find out... As you know, we are die-hard fans of special effects, and this is still one of the best uses of it for a horror movie to this day. The Thing was the highest budgeted horror film at the time. The kills are like nothing that had ever been seen before and it was a huge failure at the box office. Critics said it looked "phony" and it was too gory (If only they could see what we got now...) But when it was released on  VHS and television, it became a cult classic and is now revered as one of the greatest horror movies of all time. The moral of the story is never give up...and critics suck.   **WARNING SPOILER ALERT: There are The Thing 2011 spoilers in this episode. We warn you when it's coming, but if you haven't seen it yet, you may want to watch it before tuning in for this one!**

Happy New Year Horror Fam! We're kicking off 2021 with a wintery classic, "The Thing From Another World" from 1951. Even though it's pretty slow, and not very scary for our time, it definitely inspired John Carpenter to take a swing at it and boy did he! This is the blueprint for, in my (Gen's) opinion, one of the scariest horror movie to come out of the 80s.  If you're not into classic films, this may not be your cup of tea, the pacing is definitely hard to get into. But again, it's a classic and we had to watch for the sake of the Pod!  Next week, obviously, we will be reviewing The Thing (1981) and that should be a great show!  Fun Fact:  Elicia has never seen any of these, so that's pretty exciting, I'm pretty excited to get her take on 1981!

MERRY CHRISTMAS, HOLY SHIT!  The Griswold family Christmas is a horrifying experience if ever there was one. Ellen Griswold is a saint for the shit she puts up with. She must be on lithium, because she keeps her cool the entire time. This family as a whole is tolerable, other than Clark, who is just a selfish asshole. Audrey sticks by her dad when her grandmother tries to put him down and Rusty is basically the man of the house since his father is a bumbling buffoon. Seriously, Rusty doesn't get enough credit for his contribution to the Griswold household.  The holiday is already off to a rough start with a creepy, hillbilly trucker altercation and a near-death experience, that has the Griswolds driving underneath a semi truck! Once they've gotten things under control, that's when the cavalry comes in. Both sets of grandparents (who don't get along), and an unexpected visit from Cousin Eddie and his family.  It's disaster after disaster for this Christmas movie (that actually ends on Christmas Eve), that really seals in that horror movie flavor.   We found some fun trivia goodies, like how much it cost Clark to run al those damn lights, and which director turned down the chance to work on this film. Also, if you don't rock a white sweater with a black, turtleneck dickie underneath at some point in your life, what are you even doing?

The only redeeming factor for having to watch this movie was we got to talk shit about it with Matt & Drew. Had they called it "The Skulls IV", this movie would've had a less cheese-grater-to-the-brain feel to it and been only slightly easier to digest. Still entirely too preachy, but at least it would've fit with the overall themes of it's predecessors. This feels like a trap! You go in expecting one thing, and you end up with something else entirely.  Don't bother watching it, this episode will sum it up pretty nicely for you. Especially if your horror palette tends to align with ours. They decided to update Black Christmas with a more in-your-face message, and we are not here for it. For true horror fans, it should be a big disappoint. Little to no horror, a phone-in villain and the character development is practically non-existent.  And don't even try to blame this on it being because it's a female-driven movie, we're not hearing it!

There's no way we could get through these two remakes alone, so we invited Matt & Drew from The Post Credit Podcast to come join us, cuz, you know, misery loves company. Our first guest spot was on The Post Credit and we took on Thirteen Ghosts with them, go check that out if you're not too wasted in preparation for this episode.    This week we're talking about the 2006 version of Black Christmas. If you could make it through the movie, you can make it through this episode. They could've at least given the girls the same names as the original, it would've been easier to keep track of them all. No joke, though, the director didn't even like the end product, so we don't feel too bad about our commentary.   We wish we could tell you the worst part of this movie, but there are just too many to choose from.  Disclaimer: The views and opinions expressed by Guests are those of the Guest and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of Horror N Heels Podcast.

This was almost the movie that broke us, but we powered through! One of Elicia's favorite horror films and Gen was bored.  We definitely agree that neither of us would've gotten away with talking to our mothers the way Barb did. Phil is a national treasure, and the House Mother is our spirit animal. And as always, cats get you killed.

Happy Friday The 13th! Our 13th episode on the 13th, that’s gotta be good luck, right? Since Nightmare On Elm Street is Gen’s fave, and Elicia loves Friday The 13th, and we’ve already talked about both, we thought it’d be fitting to discuss the ultimate horror match-up of Freddy Vs. Jason! We talk about directors that didn’t happen, why Betsy Palmer didn’t make her cameo and what kind of bed was that guy sleeping on??

Probably the least fun show we’ll ever have. What can you say about the worst remake in the history of horror cinema? You will not change our minds. But if you’d like to try, go ahead and send us an email, tweet or carrier pigeon (since that’s what you use, because you obviously live in a cave if you enjoyed this train wreck.) Luckily we edited out the awkward silences. Although those were eerily more entertaining than the actual movie. If you haven’t seen, don’t feel like you need to just to listen to this episode. Please let us spoil it for you and save you some time. We dreaded this so much, we decided to do remake then original, because we wanted to end on a high note. We got nothing....

Now here’s a vampire we wouldn’t mind sucking on our necks. Colin Farrell would need zero effort to get invited into our home, vampire or not. Also an appearance by our favorite Doctor. This remake answers a few questions left to figure out it in the original and makes good use of Toni Collette cast as the mom. BTW how do we get David Tennant on our show?

Don’t Tell Mom, A Sexy Vampire Moved In Next Door! At least that’s what we would’ve called it. Has a nice ring to it, yeah? Boy has girl, won’t give it up, girl meets vampire and become sex kitten. There’s other stuff that happens too.

Soooo many reasons to pack their shit and go home, yet this sexually-fueled, rambunctious bunch of teens decide to stay at their makeshift campground and continue to make bad choices. The WB (now known as “The CW”, was kind enough to loan out a couple of actors from its stable, which makes for some decent eye candy. Thankfully, the only thing this remake has in common with the original is the name. **The sound ghosts got into the mic this episode. We’ll try to have them busted by the next one.

Our first 1950s horror movie: House of Wax starring Vincent Price and a young, strapping Charles Bronson. This movie has everything from some smart Final Girl moves to good old fashioned chauvinism to cheesy 3D gags, but is it worth the watch? Listen and find out!

Episode 4: What’s Up with Ryan Kruger? It’s our first interview episode! We got to sit down and pick the brain of Writer/Director Ryan Kruger about his new horror/comedy “Fried Barry”, which is currently hitting the festival circuit at full throttle! As a special treat, Ryan let us use part of the soundtrack in our into for this episode! **Note: no horses, snakes or ants were harmed in the taping of this show.  Disclaimer: The views and opinions expressed by Guests are those of the Guest and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of Horror N Heels Podcast.
