This week in the Video Dungeon, we're blowing a hole in limbo and diving deep into the beloved cult classic, The Monster Squad (1987)! In this iconic film from Fred Dekker and Shane Black, a group of kids team up to save the world from the legendary, and legally distinct, classic monsters Dracula, Frankenstein, The Wolfman, The Mummy, and The Creature from the Black Lagoon! Packed with adventure, comedy, and horror this film defined a generation of horror fans by updating the Universal Monsters and stuffing them all into one movie!

Get ready to have a little mahogany, Dumpster Dwellers! We're back in the car with Daniel Baldwin and James Woods to hunt down some blood-sucking vampires, but this time we've got C.B. Smith with us to tell us all the differences from the book. What did John Carpenter keep for his adaptation and what did he change from John Steakley's 1990 novel, Vampire$? And why exactly is the book named Vampire Dollar Sign anyway?! Find all that and more, as we go Book to the Movie™!

In 1935, Dr. Philip Carrol (Patrick Kilpatrick) makes a late-night house call to fix the broken leg of a woman named Marie Alcott (Marcia Cross). Marie and her husband Edmund (Harsh Nayyar), who are revealed to be vampires, proceed to make Dr. Carrol their slave. They force him to heal Marie's leg, then plan to kill and feed on him when he is no longer of use to them. Growing attracted to Carrol however, Marie begins to have second thoughts about her husband's plans. Directed by Theodore Gershuny and written by Edithe Swensen.. Original airdate: May 4, 1986

It's Stepfathers Day and Terry O'Quinn has been working in the Wizards garden... again! After escaping Puget Sound Psychiatric Hospital for a second time, Terry O'Quinn surgically changes his appearance into another actor and then resumes his hunt for the perfect family.

Deadly supernatural occurrences have kept intruders and thrill seekers away, until a crew of documentary filmmakers embark to tell the real story of the mansion's tormented owner, and famous painter, Ichirō Mamiya. The crew quickly gets more than they bargained for after disturbing the ghost of Lady Mamiya, who is about to unleash the fury of a thousand angry mothers–She wants her baby back (ribs)! Debuting in 1989, Sweet Home marked the first time a video game and movie were made simultaneously to compliment each other as one entire story experience. With one of Japan's greatest horror directors, Kiyoshi Kurosawa, and the talents of legendary FX maestro, Dick Smith, this oft forgotten J-horror haunted house flick is a truly terrifying experience just in time for Trick or Trash. Grab your vacuum and stay in the light because we're blowing the coffin lid off SWEET HOME with special guest Kieeeern!

We're traveling to Transylvania with Tony from Hack The Movies and sailing on a boat with a vampire to look at another movie based on Bram Stoker's iconic novel, Dracula! Well, it's based on a chapter from the book. Kind of... Following "The Captain's Log" portion of the story, a giant Man Bat terrorizes the ship's crew while out to sea, leaving no survivors onboard when its found shipwrecked in London. Except the part where they change it or something. Grab some garlic and holy water, because you're gonna need it Dumpster Dwellers! We're knocking on wood and taking a bite out of The Last Voyage of The Demeter!

The doddering and slightly senile Grandma Rollins (Jane Connell) is  treated as a burden by her self-centered, unsympathetic family, who plan  to throw her in a nursing home against her will. When she is told to  make a wish the week before she leaves, her family grows to understand,  quite literally, the hardships that come with old age. Written by Jule Selbo.

Love is in the air once again down in the Video Dungeon on this Valentine's Day, and this week we're slashing into Lover’s Lane (1999)! In this deep dive, we review the movie’s plot, kills, killer reveal, and its connection to the urban legend of "The Hook." Plus, we take a look at an early performance from Anna Faris just one year before making Scary Movie. With Scream, I Know What you Did Last Summer, their respective sequels, and even Urban Legend being perviously released, is Lover's Lane the LAST slasher cash-in of the 90's and how does it stack up amongst the classics?

This week in in the video dungeon we're taking a look at a movie 16 years in the making! Originally part of the fake trailer showcase included in the Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez double feature event GRINDHOUSE, Thanksgiving promised us a glorious holiday slasher throwback with all the exploitation fixin's!

Welcome to our January 2025 LIVE Wrap-Up!

IT'S SHOWTIME! Join us for our very first LIVE episode at Neshaminy Creek Brewing for CRYPT VIDEO RENTALS! We're turning up the juice and seeing what shakes loose as we head into the afterlife for a brand new Ripe Review! What is Monica Belucci doing here? Why is Jeffrey Jones so heavily featured? Did we really need this sequel almost 40 years later? Say it once, say it twice, third time's a charm–so come on down while we chew on BEETLEJUICE BEETLEJUICE!

Pack up the Butterfingers, Dumpster Dwellers, because we're headed to the Amazon this week with Mr. Lobo to MEET THE APPLEGATES! The spread of deforestation in the South American rainforest has been destroying the homes of local wildlife. Unbeknownst to the outside world, a race of giant insects with shapeshifting abilities plot to infiltrate Small Town USA and execute a nuclear holocaust in retaliation. Directed by Michael Lehmann of "Heathers" fame, comes another satirical cult classic lost in the shuffle of the early 90s due to poor marketing and the collapse of New World Pictures. Join Dick, Jane, Sally, and Johnny as they try to navigate the American dream and the trials and tribulations of life as humans.

Trashing Through Snow comes to a close with the Joe Dante horror-comedy Christmas classic, Gremlins! Despite being a huge success, this flick caught a lot of heat for being marketed as a kid friendly movie and ended up being deemed too scary according to some parents. If you ask us, those folks just need to grow a pair–of mogwai that is! Gremlins is the perfect gateway horror movie, and we'll stand by that! So, remember those three important rules, and don't buy your kids exotic pets because you just might end up with a gremlin in your house!

James Gunn's Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy has come to a beautiful and satisfying end. Join us in the Dungeon this week to talk about the Guardians series as a whole, the legacy of James Gunn, and how it changed super hero movies across the board.

This week in the Video Dungeon we're leaving the Caribbean and heading to the Big Apple with Vampire in Brooklyn (1995)! Directed by Wes Craven and starring Eddie Murphy, Angela Bassett, and Allen Payne. This film blends horror, comedy, and vampire lore in a unique way, but does it hit the mark or fall flat?Join us as we review Eddie Murphy’s memorable turn as the charismatic yet dangerous vampire Maximillian, and explore the film’s mix of humor and horror. We'll also discuss the performances, the special effects, and the overall impact of the movie – was it a creative triumph or just a cash-in attempt in the vampire genre? Why was this movie made and who exactly was responsible?

This week on Movie Dumpster, those mischievous little rubber monsters are out of the bowl and totally out of control!

WE DID IT AGAIN!! Trashing Through the Snow is back and we're kicking it off with a movie that is not only a Christmas classic, but also possibly one of the greatest comedy sequels of all-time! We open this holiday tale with Dobby awoken by a night time intruder during his yearly Christmas Eve visit to Grandpa Van Daam's house. The story of a boy Lost in New York™ is the only thing that will help the little house-elf drift back to sweet dreams of dancing sugar plum fairies. The whole McCallister family is back and they somehow find a way to get separated from Kevin again on Christmas. YIKES!

Analyst Hiroko  Asami (played by Masami Nagasawa) is newly appointed to the SSSP to deal  with this giant and is partnered with Shinji Kaminaga. In Hiroko's  report, she writes... "Ultraman (tentative name), identity unknown".
