Hey, it's nearly Christmas so here's an early present! Not really, it's just a regular episode but it's set at Christmas, so my point stands. This week, Jimmy talks about one of two Killer Santa movies of 1980, four years before Silent Night Deadly Night shocked parents. Nobody really cared about this one (or To All A Goodnight the same year) and neither movie features the real Santa. People are weird. Contains strong language.
Terror in Ten dives head first back into the world of TV horror this week with what is regarded as the best episode of the annual A Horror Story For Christmas series that aired throughout the 1970s. This one aired when your host was two months old! Next week is a Christmas horror movie from 1980 about a killer Santa...
Uh-oh, Chucky's back and he's duller than ever. Jimmy talks about the third in the franchise that so far peaked with the second entry. Contains strong language.

When is a feminist movie not a feminist movie? When Roger Corman is the producer. He likes boobs. Anyway, this week, Jimmy talks about the Slumber Party Massacre, a movie that started as a satire, became a comedy with some killing. I really couldn't think of anything to say here, this was a last minute addition, cut me some slack. Contains strong language.
Jimmy talks about a Robert Rodriguez movie that doesn't really feel like a Robert Rodriguez movie but does feel like a Kevin Williamson movie. The Faculty has a seriously stacked cast, we don't even mention them all on the podcast. There are that many known faces, it's great. Contains strong language.
We are staying in the 80s this week with a movie with a great central performance from a then unknown Terry O'Quinn. It's one of those movies that if you haven't seen yet, I recommend that you do before listening. Contains strong language. Next week... we don't actually know and we have under a week to do it, lolz.
It's Blobbin' time! Or something. This week, Jimmy talks about one of his favourite horror movies of the 1980s and a remake that surpasses the original movie on pretty much every aspect. And of course, it flopped at the box office. Anyway, next week is a movie that's not a remake but did spawn one...
Happy Halloween! Okay, it's late but I was busy last week, sorry. Anyway, it's John Carpenter's classic and what else can we say about it? Why even bother? Because I like the movie, obvs. We'll be back next week, honest. Contains very very strong language. Like, the strongest language because swearing is cool.
Episode three of The Vintage Movie Book Club sees Jimmy and Jen discuss the 1978 book adaptation of John Carpenter and Debra Hill's script for Halloween. Most of the script, anyway, Curtis Richards adds a loooooot of stuff. Contains strong language and adult themes.
Stephen King is back! This week, Jimmy talks about one of the good adaptations of his work, Rob Reiner and William Goldman's Stephen King's Misery. Contains strong language.
Written, presented and edited by Jimmy Brown.

Welcome to season 4 of Terror in Ten and this week Jimmy talks about the 90s campus slasher , Urban Legend. There is a slight format change this season and there will no longer be trailers at the end, so next week's episode will be a surprise. Mostly because we haven't actually decided which episode to release next.
Welcome to the season 3 finale, in which Jimmy talks about Freddy's Revenge. Revenge against who? That's not explained as Nancy wasn't asked back for this one and Wes Craven had zero involvement. We will be back in October with season 4, see you then. Contains strong language.
Welcome to the official first episode of The Vintage Movie Book Club hosted by Jimmy and Jen. This month, they discuss The Goonies written by James Kahn, based on the screenplay by Christ Columbus and the movie directed by Richard Donner. They discuss the many differences between book and film and miss so many out too. There were a LOT. The show will be back in September with Cliffhanger (1993). Contains strong language.
Back to the 70s we go with this creepy, underseen yet appreciated movie. There's a great performance (or two) from Chuck Conners and includes a couple of horrifying death scenes. Next time, we are going back to the 80s with a sequel! Contains strong language.
And we're back! Jimmy reviews the Rutger Hauer classic, The Hitcher. He goes through the history of the movie and also the history of its star. Contains spoilers and strong language.
Hey, welcome to a brand new podcast, from Jimmy and Jen. This is the test/pilot episode of The Vintage Movie Book Club, where we read and review novelisations of movies from the 80s and 90s. The books must have been released at the same time as the movie to qualify. Except this month, where we picked a book based on the fact we both watched the movie again recently.

We dive back into the creature feature, this week, with this occasionally violent 90s movie. If you can see the violence, that is, it's notoriously dark at times but heads get removed from bodies, trust me. There will be no Terror in Ten next week, instead, Jimmy and his friend Jen start a new podcast called The Vintage Movie Book Club in which they read and review movie novelisations from the 80s and 90s. The first/pilot/test episode, however, will be about Final Destination (2000). Terror in Ten will return in two weeks, stay tuned to the end of this episode, to learn what movie is next.
It's Summer, so what better way to celebrate than to review a 70s movie about killer sea life in a resort where someone has to convince the people in charge about the threat, a movie directed by an up and coming young director who would make fan favourite movies in the 80s. Yes, it's Jaws (1975) clone Piranha (1978). Contains strong language. Stay tuned to the end of the episode to hear the trailer for next week's episode.
It's one of those movies that really didn't need sequels yet this year sees the third (technically fourth but that other one had different characters and is supernatural so doesn't count, just like the TV show) movie in the franchise get released! For everyone who wanted to see Ray from this movie with grey hair, wooo! So, Jimmy talks, or should that be rants, about the original I Know What You Did Last Summer. Contains swearing. Stay tuned to the end of the episode if you want to know what next week's movie is.
Hey, it's our second found footage movie! Third if you count Ghostwatch, but I don't, so there. The first movie in a largely non-related trilogy and not really even the best one, this movie nonetheless had some interesting origins and was accompanied by a cool marketing campaign. Contains strong language and spoilers, obviously. Listen to the end of the episode to hear what the next movie is.
