We Watch Shudder

158 - Too Many Cooks (2014)

This is the one for our Adult Swim shorts mini-series. If you know, you know. If you don't, you don't, but you can at the link below. I don't even know what else to say about it, except that Michelle tells a real deep story of trauma bordering on offputting overshare - just kidding, it's a meaningful story, and a great episode.Watch the short HERE

157 - Unedited Footage of a Bear (2014)

Imagine it's infomercial time, four o'clock in the morning, and you have this wild horror satire of modern pharmaceutical marketing and the extensive side effects associated with many new drugs dropped on you out of nowhere with no warning. What an experience that must have been back in 2014!Watch the short HERE

156 - Opal (2020)

Jack Stauber's most recent short creation, 2020's Opal, is a wild mishmash of visual elements, a sort of motion picture collage incorporating a variety of techniques, with claymation at its center. It also happens to be one of the more bleak, depressing shorts we're discussing this month, which is really saying something!Watch the short HERE

155 - The Chair (2023)

What could possibly go wrong by snagging an old chair off somebody's trash curb?Let's cut to the chase: Michelle made JD watch this once a while back and he didn't like it. And then she made him watch it again and he did. How the heck did that happen? Give it a listen and we'll tell you all about it!Watch the short HERE

154 - Batman Dead End (2003)

Oh, that Joker. Always escaping Arkham Asylum and kicking up a ruckus. But then... well, just go watch it. It's the crossover you never knew you needed. Apparently Kevin Smith once called it "possibly the truest, best Batman movie ever made."Watch the short HERE.

153 - The Backrooms (Found Footage) (2022)

Kane Pixels was only sixteen years old when he took the internet by storm with this short that was produced in one month using Blender and After Effects, and now he's got a deal with A24 to make his first feature film, which will be adapted from the Backrooms concept. Is the hype justified? Let's all find out together!Watch the short HERE.

152 - Night of the Hunted (2023) - A Shudder Original

Just exactly how badly can an ostensibly quick stop at a gas station in the middle of both nowhere and the night go? Let's all find out together!

151- Halloween en la Vida Real (2022)

We wrap up franchise fan film week with the only real iconic franchise it could be - "Halloween". This is also our only horror comedy this week, which puts a lot of pressure on it to represent for horror comedy everywhere. Did it live up to the challenge? Let's all find out together!

150 - Chucky: Friends ’til the End (2019)

If you're wondering how a shot-on-video labor-of-love Child's Play fan short got access to such an impressive and authentic looking Good Guy doll, give the episode a spin. This is the most indie film of the week (maybe the month) but it has incredible spirit.Check it out HERE!

149 - Family Recipe (2023)

Part homage recreation, part original fan film, with more than enough splatter to satiate the gorehounds. Not only do we discuss the movie, but also JD goes off on a tare about how The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, one of this favorite horror films of all time, is NOT a slasher film.

148 - No More Souls (2004)

Gary J. Tunnicliffe went on to write Hellraiser: Revelations, as well as writing and directing Hellraiser: Judgement, and it all happened because of this six-minute character piece. Equal parts makeup effects demo and audition tape probably sounds less appealing than it really is, but you'll understand when you watch.Which you can do HERE!

147 - Dylan’s New Nightmare (2023)

In perhaps the boldest move in all of Franchise Fan Film week, Womp Stomp Films brings us a Nightmare on Elm Street joint that sequelizes one of the most divisive films in the franchise, Wes Craven's New Nightmare! Who is Dylan and how does it all tie in? There's really only one way to know. Well, two. Listen to this episode, or...
