Some might call it "kinder trauma", but deep in the recesses of all of our minds exists a library of fear, terror and often traumatic TV and movie memories. It could be a split second, but if you still remember how badly it scared you, there's a good chance you're still afraid of it!

We rank our top scariest moments from our childhood TV and movie memories. Some of our selections are typical, but some are questionable--how did that scare you?

Faces and Lighting: Matt still has a problem (or love affair) with the looks on faces and the lighting to enhance to horror.

It's As Bad As You Thought: Which is what Kyle has branded his brand of paralyzing feartainment.

This may not be YOUR list, but we definitely bring diversity to our preferences for PERFECT ALBUMS!

What makes an album great? The songs, producer, performances, hooks, drugs...? YES to all of those.

WARNING: some hot takes ahead!

SUMMER IS HERE AND CAMP ARAWAK IS OPEN... Sleepaway Camp (also marketed on VHS as Nightmare Vacation) is a 1983 slasher film written and directed by Robert Hiltzik who also served as executive producer. The film is about the killings of teen campers at a summer camp. The film came at a time when slasher films were in their heyday, and is largely known for its twist ending which is considered by some to be one of the most shocking endings among horror films. Made on a budget of only $350,000 the film saw big box office returns of over $11 million. For full information and details on the entire franchise visit the official franchise website - Click Here

Although Sleepaway Camp has a strong cult following, it wasn't until the advent of the Internet that the horror community was able to revitalize and remind us that Jason Voohees isn't the only slasher that can kill you in the woods, nor does a slasher have to be a he (or she)...?

Do you remember the musical fad known as NU METAL? WE DO! We were fans of it. We still listen to it. We're not too proud to admit it as metalheads--although some might because it isn't KVLT enough--but seriously... how good was the first KORN Self-Titled record? What about LIMP BIZKIT'S debut release "Three Dollar Bill Y'all"? Who were the pioneers of the genre? How many strings do you need? The fashion, or the lack thereof... We take deep dive into the obscurity of this metal subculture that (d)evolved from raw emotion to paint-by-numbers pop-metal.

TOP HORROR MOVIES OF 1980 https://www.podpage.com/nostaljunkpod/TopHorrorMovies1980/

We rank our Top Horror Movies of 1980, and also discuss some hidden gems you may have forgotten about! We almost align ourselves with our Top 5 list, but one slasher hacked their way into the Number 2 spot on Matt's list—Kyle just doesn't have a nostalgic attachment to this one like Matt does.

Critical of Critics: Critics are influences, and can potentially persuade you to adjust your love for your own nostalgia. Your nostalgia doesn't have to be a universally revered entry, it just has to be yours. 

Slasher Craze: In 1978, John Carpenter rolled a massive financial ball to Hollywood with his massive—and beloved—independent hit Halloween. In 1980, a mainstream tribute preyed on youth in the woods and ushered in the New Wave of Slashers.

Kurt also hosts two podcasts: What's Your Name Again? and Quarantine Roll Call - check them out. Matt had a blast chatting with Kurt, not just because he's a celebrity, but because there was a genuine discussion and human connection.

We would like to call this concept a RETROSYNC, where something new aligns with something nostalgic. After just watching Prano Bailey-Bond's debut film CENSOR, starring Niamh Algar--which is centered around the main character Enid Baines, who works as a film censor during The Video Nasties craze of the 80s Britain--this led us to thinking about what are our favorite Video Nasties to list and discuss?

Counter-Intuitive: Mary Whitehouse and conservative mindsets told what we shouldn't watch... aka our favorite movies!

This week is a real banger ... METALSPLOITATION! This is traditionally where heavy metal music appears, not only as the soundtrack, but is integral to the movie and characters' storylines. We discuss the history of where metal gets it "scary" from, and dive into the commonalities the two subcultures possess (no pun intended); and of course, list the most notable metalsploitation movies.

Craven Thrash: Which of Metallica's albums coincide with Wes Craven's movies?

Deathtracks: Even without being a part of the storyline, metal music has home with horror movie soundtracks.

YOU WOULDN'T STEAL A CAR. YOU WOULDN'T STEAL A HANDBAG. YOU WOULDN'T STEAL A TELEVISION. YOU WOULDN'T STEAL A MOVIE... but we did download and burn HUNDREDS of movies and albums in the late 90s and 00s. We take an action-packed run through our burnt CD and DVD spindles, revisiting our memories and collections of P2P downloading—Napster, KaZaA, Lime Wire, audiogalaxy, Scour, and more. Music, movies, software, and of course... PORN. So much porn. We also discuss early Slipknot (Mate. Feed. Kill. Repeat. and their self-titled debut), the origins of the 00s piracy crackdown and hate for Metallica/Lars (but he wasn't wrong), nu metal (again), discovering new musical tastes (death metal, Meshuggah, etc), burning mixes with Nero and wisely filling time on the discs, the high-cost of buying new albums (which may have justified the downloading, only to preview the album before you actually bought them), and why do we still remember the lyrics to Kid Rock's "Bawitdaba"? Spotify. Apple Music. STEAL THIS EPISODE!

Okay. School memories may not be positive for everyone, but some of us partied like it was 1999: listening to Limp Bizkit, wearing baggy pants, frosted tips, and flipping the Stone Cold Steve Austin bird until it lost its meaning. And what better way to celebrate the iconic School-Age growing pains, than with a list of our favorite School Movies!

We don't only discuss getting high and passing tests, losing your virginity, crushing hard on your Second Grade French teacher, or even getting frisky with a pie; we chat the nostalgia of graduating, partying, "coffee houses", and more!

We break-down our faves with our most nostalgic memories from those movies, but Matt features--of course--horror-based double-features to keep our October vibes high...

The holiday season is upon us, which means it’s time to put 2020 in the rearview mirror, and kick back with a great Christmas movie!

What exactly is a Christmas movie? Is merely being set at Christmas enough? Or is there some elusive other element that makes a Christmas movie a Christmas movie? It’s the old “Does Die Hard count?” debate.

"I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask you to leave" . . . Paul Donovan's 1983 action-thriller SIEGE--aka SELF DEFENSE, aka NIGHT WARRIORS, aka NEW YORK 1991--is inspired by the real-life Halifax Police Strike of 1981. The film features a lawless city, terrorized by a group of proud-boys, who target and kill the patrons of a LGBT club. One of the patrons escapes and finds refuge in the safety in the company Horatio (Tom Nardini) and his crew, who are willing to fight back. Rooftop chase scenes, shootouts, explosions, chaos, panic and Trailer Park Boys' Philadelphia "Phil" Collins (aka Rosie). This movie is a wild ride, do not sleep on this one!

DEEP DIVE - In this week's follow-up to Part 1, we explore John Carpenter's HALLOWEEN and how it really kick-started the SLASHER genre. We also review the resentment critics (and Ronald Reagan) had for the genre--FRIDAY THE 13th, in particular.

As JAMIE attempts to join JOHN of the HORROR DADS on the call, MATT sets-up our next episode of the NOSTALJUNK PODCAST, as the three of us watch and provide commentary on "the gayest" horror movie A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET, PART 2: FREDDY'S REVENGE! Aptly timed too, as MARK PATTON's beautifully touching documentary SCREAM, QUEEN: MY NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET was only released on SHUDDER just days after recording this watch-along episode.

Our very own Jonathan Parsons is a movie fan, but isn't necessarily the biggest horror movie fan. So as a part of his initiation to the Nostaljunk Podcast, he will endure our picks of the best jumpscares in horror!

Will we be successful? You'll have to listen to find out!

FIRST IT CONTROLS YOUR MIND, THEN IT DESTROYS YOUR BODY... Let's revisit David Cronenberg’s body-horror film, Videodrome. James Woods stars as Max Renn, a president of a sleazy television network. Renn discovers an unknown transmission known as Videodrome — a fever dream that basically hacks his brain with images and gratuitous displays of torture, mutilation, murder, and other truly gross body stuff, causing him and anyone who watches it to hallucinate. But aren't we also watching Videodrome... LONG.LIVE.THE.NEW.FLESH.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN NOSTALJUNKIES! One of the biggest and most enduring shows of all-time, THE SIMPSONS, not only influenced our love for dysfunction, but their beloved Halloween Specials (Treehouse of Horror) are to Halloween what Hallmark movies, in PJs, with gentle sobbing are to Christmas.

Treehouse of Horror, also known as The Simpsons Halloween Specials, is a series of Halloween-themed episodes of the animated sitcom The Simpsons, each consisting of three separate, self-contained segments. These segments usually involve the Simpson family in some horror, science fiction, or supernatural setting. They take place outside the show's normal continuity and completely abandon any pretense of being realistic, being known for their far more violent and much darker nature than an average Simpsons episode. The first, entitled "Treehouse of Horror", aired on October 25, 1990, as part of the second season and was inspired by EC Comics horror tales. Since then, there have been 32 other Treehouse of Horror episodes, with one airing every year.

Which ones are your favorite?
