The Return Slot ... OF HORROR!

Pumpkinhead (1988)

The crisp autumn air carries the sound of leaves rustling in the wind, the pumpkins are ripe for harvesting, and the corn stalks tower high like Frankenstein's Monster. It's that time of year when we delve into the world of Halloween horror movies! With Chris now working full-time at the video store, he has dedicated himself to curating a new subsection specifically for this season: "Harvest Revenge Society: Reap What You Sow." So, grab your favorite autumn beverage and join us in the basement as we journey to a tumulus standing amid a primordial pumpkin necropolis cloaked in a glowing moon mist because we are talking about Stan Winston's 1988 special effects triumph, 'Pumpkinhead.'

Dark Night of the Scarecrow (1981)

The crisp autumn air carries the sound of leaves rustling in the wind, the pumpkins are ripe for harvesting, and the corn stalks tower high like Frankenstein's Monster. It's that time of year when we delve into the world of Halloween horror movies! With Chris now working full-time at the video store, he has dedicated himself to curating a new subsection specifically for this season: "Harvest Revenge Society: Reap What You Sow." The name is as succinct and impactful as Chris's favorite Halloween treat, candy corn. So, grab your favorite spiced autumn beverage and join us in the basement as we travel back to October 24th, 1981, to watch the premiere of the CBS Saturday Night Movie, 'Dark Night of the Scarecrow.'

Staff Meeting: Mickey is Leaving...Kind Of

Our beloved Mickey is being deployed for most of the coming year. While he bravely serves the United States of America, we will continue drinking beer, stocking the shelves with fresh VHS tapes, and hanging out in the basement, watching and discussing horror movies. Join us for this special retrospective episode, celebrating and temporaily saying fare thee well to our favorite co-host, video store clerk, editor, and sound engineer, Mickey. Listen, if you dare, anywhere you get podcasts, watch us on YouTube @TheReturnSlotofHorrorPodcast, and follow us on Instagram @thereturnslot_ofhorrorpod.

FRIDAY THE 13TH PART VII: The New Blood (1988)

It's that particular time of year when the air becomes crisp, the leaves start to change, and the number 13 joins Friday, giving birth to a celebration of a horror franchise we all know and love. The perfect follow-up to the 'Camp NotaVorhees' section of the video store has to be a Friday the 13th film starring the man who played Jason Voorhees the most, pitted against a teenager with telekinetic powers. Join us for a drink as we discuss 1988's Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood, aka Carrie vs Jason.
