NECROMANIACS PODCAST

NECRO 288 STRANGELAND

This week, we have a special guest. Strap in for a breakdown of one of the most 90’s movies of the decade, the Dee Snider written STRANGELAND.  
Intro:    “Necromaniacs” – Mike Hill
Outro: “Under the Blade”– Twisted Sister

NECRO 287 MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE

In a run up to our coverage of The Long Walk, the long awaited adaptation of one of Stephen King’s infamous “Richard Bachman” stories, we’re diving into Maximum Overdrive.  King not only wrote the original story, “Trucks” but directed and wrote the screenplay for this 1986 horror film.
 
Intro:    “Necromaniacs” – Mike Hill
Outro: “Hells Bells”– AC/DC

NECRO 286 HENRY PORTRAIT OF A SERIAL KILLER 2: MASK OF SANITY

This one comes directly from the Necrophone Callers. Thanks Tavis for the recommendation. In 1996, Chuck Parello wrote and directed a sequel to John McNaughton’s brutal, yet oddly haunting exploration of a day in the life of two serial murderers loosely based on Henry Lee Lucas and Ottis Toole. No one was waiting for a sequel, but Parello delivered this pitch black film that has largely slipped below the radar.
 
Intro:    “Necromaniacs” – Mike Hill
Outro: “We had the Same Dream”– Diet Pills

NECRO 285 WAR OF THE WORLDS 2025

H.G. Wells WAR OF THE WORLDS is one of those works that seems to be woven into the fabric of popular culture. The novel was published in 1898 and for over a hundred years, it has come back to us in some shape or form.  The first being the infamous Orsen Welles radio broadcast in 1938 that led to mass hysteria that sparked a debate about the power and responsibility of the media.  1953 brough the first film adaptation directed by Byron Haskins and in 2005 Stephen Spielberg tried his hand at the tale.  There have been several more movie adaptations and the seasons of the UK series based on it.
 
In 2025, do we need another attempt at telling this story?  Listen to the Necromaniacs and find out!
 
Intro:    “Necromaniacs” – Mike Hill
Outro: “”– Flock of Seagulls

NECRO 284 BRING HER BACK

This week we discuss BRING HER BACK, the Australian horror film by Danny and Michael Philippou, who brought us 2022’s TALK TO ME.  Long time listeners will know that we weren’t very fond of TALK TO ME, so it was with some trepidation that we ventured into their new production. 
 
Intro:    “Necromaniacs” – Mike Hill
Outro: “Deathcrush”– Mayhem

Necro 283 Weapons

Zach Cregger is at it again with WEAPONS, his brand new horror film. This week, we give it the proper analysis as only the Necromaniacs can do. #necrothursday #horsemenofthepodcastingapocalypse #horrormovies
 
Intro:    “Necromaniacs” – Mike Hill
Outro: “The Freezing Moon”– Mayhem (Live at Liepzig)

NECRO 282 CLOWN IN A CORNFIELD

We’re glad everyone enjoyed our Jaws Summer Slam. We had a blast doing it.  With summer nearing it’s close, we’re looking ahead to the moody Autumn season with CLOWN IN A CONRFIELD directed by Eli Craig who brought us Tucker and Dale versus Evil.
 
Intro:    “Necromaniacs” – Mike Hill
Outro: “Send in the Clowns”– Judy Collins

NECRO 281 Jaws 4 The Revenge

This week we round our our Summer Fun Series with Jaws 4 aka THE REVENGE. For the 1987 entry into the Jaws franchise, we change directors and apparently ignore the events of Jaws 3.  We catch up with the Brodys for what is apparently, the climax of the Jaws saga.
 
Intro:    “Necromaniacs” – Mike Hill
Outro: “Anemia”– Hammerhead

NECRO 280 THE GREY

We all need a break from the brutal summer, so this week we take a trip to the Cold North Country to talk about The Grey. Based on “Ghost Walker” by Ian MacKenzie Jeffers, Joe Carnahan delivers a man-against-nature survival thriller with a cast let by veteran hardass Liam Neeson.  
 
Intro:    “Necromaniacs” – Mike Hill
Outro: “Killer Wolf”– Danzig

NECRO 279 JAWS 3

The summer is dragging on and we’re continuing our Jaws series.  This week we dive into Jaws 3 and the question remains: did we really need another sequel?
 
Intro:    “Necromaniacs” – Mike Hill
Outro: “American Rampage”– Hammerhead
