This game show episode is all about one of my favorite horror remakes (or is it a reboot?), EVIL DEAD (2013). Jorge joins me as tonight's Final Girl contestant. He'll be attempting to outrun our guest slasher, his friend (and former Cocktail Party Massacre victim), Beto. Will Jorge survive our zombie slasher? Or will he end up with something evil inside him? (tee hee hee) Check out Jorge, Beto and friends on the Boys, Booze and Blood podcast. Follow me on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter! Check out Zalatan music, our patron saint of creepy tunes.

Cocktail Party Massacre

Evil Dead (2013)

Part home invasion. Part found footage. Complete psychological thriller. The new movie They're Inside follows a group of friends who experience a serious trauma, but --as the movie unfolds -- we realize the trauma started long ago. Writer, director and producer Jean-Paul Panelli comes on the show to talk about this appropriately stylized and anxiety-inducing film, a movie that reinforces just how BIG low budget can be.  See the movie at Frida Cinema in Santa Ana, CA Friday, July 12th until Thursday, July 18th or pre-order They're Inside on iTunes. Keep up with what's next for Masterfully Macabre Entertainment. Follow me on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter! Check out Zalatan music, our patron saint of creepy tunes.

In the latest deadly episode of Cocktail Party Massacre, Federico (Fede) joins me at Kilrook Manor all the way from Bologna Italy to discuss what he adamantly feels is the BEST installment in the Friday the 13th franchise: The (not so) Final Chapter. We discuss Corey Feldman's chemo look, Crispin Glover's questionable dance skills and more (all while I'm making goo-goo eyes at my Italian stallion guest). Our guest slasher is Brent, whom you may remember from as a Final Girl contestant from the Chopping Mall episode. Will Brent destroy Fede? Or will Fede 'Have a nice day'? Tune in, kiddies.

Friday the 13th IV: The Final Chapter (but not really)

Holy buckfalls!

Cocktail Party Massacre Season 3 Coming Soon!

When most people think Kane Hodder, they think Jason Voorhees or Hatchet's Victor Crowley. They don't necessarily think 'bullied,' 'burn survivor' or 'family man.' Today, Derek Dennis Herbert, the behind-the-scenes genius of the critically acclaimed documentary To Hell and Back: The Kane Hodder Story, joins me for a conversation about his relationship with Kane; about his production company, Masterfully Macabre Entertainment; and about his own harrowing survival story.   Become a Final Girl contestant in a future episode!

Forget John Connor. Forget Sarah Connor. There is only..Matt Conner, our latest Final Girl contestant. Before Matt dukes it out against our slasher in next week's game show, though, he joins us to talk about -- among other things -- his role and experiences as panel director for the NC Comicon system AND (asserting his expertise as a brilliant psychiatrist) why certain horror movies imprint on our minds when we're young.

PREGAME QUICKIESODE with MATT CONNER of NC COMICON

It's the last day of Women In Horror Month and -- just a forewarning -- this is a far more serious episode of CPM than usual. In this Quickiesode, Brock hijacks the podcast studio to discuss why 'Women in Horror Month' means so much to him. He mentions some of the special women in his own life, some of his favorite female horror icons, and many of the real life women in horror who've impacted his life -- from musicians and artists to other podcasters. ***Trigger warning*** He also talks about sexual assault. Be patient with the somber tone of this episode. More love, light and fun is around the corner. Listen to Zalatan Music. Look at Amy May Pop Art's awesome art -- including CPM t-shirts!

The 'Women in Horror Month' QUICKIESODE

We're dropping this sh!t early and in the dead of night...like we're Beyonce or something. That's right. We're bypassing the pre-game Quickiesode this week, kiddies, and getting straight to it. Our cocktail party guest and Final Girl contestant is Josh Irizarry, a HUGE fan of Tales from the Crypt: Demon Knight. But don't take his word for it. Listen as Josh battles our trivia slasher in three round of Demon Knight trivia. He won't have a sacred relic filled with Jesus's blood to protect him, though, so he'll have to use his wits alone. Listen in and see whether Josh earns the title of Final Girl -- or gets sucked to a hell worse than a world without Dick Miller (RIP).  Sign up for the show. Listen to Zalatan, the genius behind our theme music. And get a CPM tshirt from local artist and Final Girl winner, Amy. (also...we would

In other words, get to know Beto while you can -- because next week, we may find out what his insides look like.  Theme music by the lovely Zalatan Get your CPM tshirt from former Final Girl winner, Amy.
