In the Spectacular Season 5 finale of The Offering, Jerry Horror swings into one of the most divisive superhero blockbusters of the 2000s, a film packed with soaring ambition, tangled love triangles, and more villains than you can fit into a single web. It is the movie where stunt rigs, symbiotes, and studio notes collided in spectacular, finger-guns-on-the-street fashion. 🕷 While James Franco was juggling this production alongside Pineapple Express, Topher Grace left his sitcom life behind for a chance to play a snarky, sharp-toothed foil. Behind the scenes, wardrobe tried crafting a latex black suit that ended up looking a little too gimp-chic before it was scrapped for something less dungeon-ready. And if you ever wondered why prints arrived at theaters labeled “Let’s Dance Again,” well… let’s just say someone knew exactly what kind of groovy sidewalk swagger was about to enter the pop-culture bloodstream. 🕷 Jerry digs into the big swings, the behind-the-scenes chaos, and the earnest heart of a movie that may be messy but is never boring. Suit up for the Season 5 finale as he celebrates a blockbuster that has been underrated, over-hated, and forever meme-immortal. 🕷 Sponsored by Nose Best Candles.

Jerry Horror gears up for the penultimate episode of season 5, a momentous stop right before the big finale, by diving into one of the wildest sci-fi action gems the 90s ever unleashed. Sylvester Stallone himself called it a great action film ahead of its time, and honestly, when your dystopia comes with Taco Tuesdays, cryo-prisons, and bathroom tech no one understands, how could it not be? Borrowing its title from a classic song by The Police, with Sting returning to rework it for the future, this movie is packed with explosive world-building and gloriously odd details. Speaking of odd details, those iconic seashells entered the script because the screenwriter’s buddy kept a decorative bag of them next to his toilet. One offhand bathroom comment later and the biggest mystery in sci-fi bathroom etiquette was born. Jerry breaks down the satire, the chaos, the couture of a sanitized society, and the film that taught a generation to question both authoritarianism and their bathroom layout. Do not miss this special second-to-last deep dive of season 5 as he gears up for the grand finale. Sponsored by Nose Best Candles. Use the promo code 'JERRYHORROR20' to save 20% off your order.

Lace up and tune in as Jerry sprints through the dystopian chaos of the 1987 sci-fi spectacle set in the far-off future of 2019.

Based on a novel by Richard Bachman, better known as Stephen King in disguise, this one’s packed with over-the-top kills, neon-soaked satire, and Arnold delivering lines so sharp they could cut steel. “Here is Subzero… now, plain zero.” “I’ll be back.” You know the rest.

Lock your doors and keep the city at arm’s length, Jerry Horror prowls the blood-slick sidewalks of 1980 New York, where the night belongs to the desperate, the doomed, and the depraved. To save a few grimy dollars, the filmmakers cast real adult performers as victims, turning exploitation into art, or maybe the other way around. The film was so drenched in violence and sleaze that the MPAA didn’t even bother rating it, knowing an X would’ve been a mercy. Gene Siskel stormed out mid-screening, declaring no movie could redeem itself after what he’d seen. And yet…it endures. From the shadows of 42nd Street comes a film that defines grindhouse horror at its dirtiest and most disturbing. I warned you not to go out tonight! But Jerry Horror went out anyway.

Evil dies tonight? Not quite. This week, Jerry Horror returns to Haddon...uh, a very familiar small town built entirely on a sound stage, where the screams are fake but the disappointment is real. The franchise’s masked menace takes his sweet time showing up (38 minutes and 41 seconds, to be exact) making this the longest game of hide-and-seek in slasher history. With only three kills to his name, our favorite boogeyman seems to have traded his knife for nap time, while a new bad boy named Corey steals the spotlight (and maybe the franchise’s blackened heart). Meanwhile, our beloved scream queen bows out after six decades and seven rounds of trauma, turtlenecks, and total survivalist energy. Jerry Horror digs into the divisive finale that split fans faster than a carving knife through a pumpkin. It’s not just the end of an era...it’s the rom-com nobody saw coming.

Round Two…FIGHT! This week, Jerry Horror dives headfirst into the cinematic arena where logic gets annihilated, physics taps out, and 54 flips can’t save your soul. Most of the original cast refused to return after reading the script. Clearly, they chose Flawless Victory by walking away. With stunt doubles flipping like caffeinated Liu Kangs, dialogue that makes Raiden roll his lightning eyes, and CGI that looks like it lost a battle with Sub-Zero, this sequel is pure Toasty! chaos. Even the game’s own creators cried “Finish it!” and called it their worst experience ever. So grab your soul, steel your spine, and crank up that techno theme, because Jerry Horror is shouting, “GET OVER HERE!” for a roundhouse trip through the most gloriously terrible video game movie ever made.

Before Blade brought cool to comic book cinema, there was another dark hero who crawled out of Hell in head-to-toe leather and CGI fire. This week, Jerry Horror dives into the molten madness of the late ’90s, when superhero movies went full XTREME. Our demonic avenger wasn’t just on fire metaphorically, the lead actor was literally set ablaze for one unforgettable scene. Martin Sheen signed on because he’d always wanted to star in a comic book movie (careful what you wish for), and John Leguizamo took method acting to stomach-churning new lows, eating live waxworms on pizza before promptly losing lunch. It’s a black superhero story that beat Blade to the punch, wrapped in industrial angst, rubber suits, and molten CGI mayhem. Jerry Horror cracks open the crypt on a film that’s part Hell, part Hollywood, and 100% XTREME. Sponsored by Nose Best Candles. Use the promo code 'JERRYHORROR20' to save 20% off your order.

They’re back from the grave and ready to party! In this week’s Offering, Jerry Horror digs up the cult classic that dared to actually say the word zombie out loud. Long before the undead became household names, this film rewrote the rules: the dead don’t just walk, they crave brains and moan “Braaiiinnnsss!” We’ll also unearth the story of a legendary scream queen whose infamous graveyard dance got more attention than she ever bargained for, especially one very specific body part. Punk rock, dark comedy, and buckets of slime: this isn’t your average shuffle-and-groan flick, it’s the ultimate party of the dead. Sponsored by Nose Best Candles.

Season 5 kicks off with a slasher sequel that trades butcher knives for a six-string straight out of your nightmares. This 1987 oddity went Gold on VHS and ruled the video store shelves, even if its box office numbers couldn’t keep the beat. Twice the budget of the 1982 original, only a fraction of the earnings...horror math is a killer riff of its own. Behind the screams, a former Playboy Playmate drew a line in the sand. No nudity, just pure scream queen energy. Add in post-punk politics, surreal dream logic, and the most infamous power-tool guitar in horror history, and you’ve got a cult classic that still shreds decades later.

Yippee Ki-Yay, Santa Claus! In this Christmas Spectacular Special of The Offering, Jerry unpacks the explosive sequel to an iconic action classic that dared to tackle the holiday season again—this time with more snow, more bad guys, and way more chaos. Despite being the most rented VHS of 1991, this film didn’t exactly gift everyone a holly jolly time. In fact, its leading man famously said he’d rather stuff a stocking with his own head than star in it. Harsh words for a movie that decked the box office halls with record-breaking Thursday night preview sales! This icy follow-up tried to double down on its predecessor's winning formula, but not even a white Christmas could stop critics from giving it the cold shoulder. Nevertheless, this flick secured a spot under many fans’ holiday trees thanks to its relentless action, memorable one-liners, and a high-flying finale that’s more over the top than a tree topper. So grab some eggnog and join Jerry as he sleds through the history of this polarizing sequel. Was it the naughty list-worthy lump of coal critics claimed, or an underrated holiday action gem?

In the Season 4 finale of The Offering with Jerry Horror, we blitz into a 90s action spectacle that’s one part gritty cop thriller, one part all-American football legend turned crime-fighting powerhouse. Picture a mullet-sporting, tough-as-nails undercover cop diving into a biker gang so violent it’s practically a contact sport. Produced by Hollywood’s own Michael Douglas (who decided to keep his name off the credits), this cult classic fumbles a few things but still manages a touchdown in raw adrenaline. The MVP? A certain former NFL star whose career on the field may have been sacked early, but he’s here to prove he’s still got the drive to crush his opponents on screen. Plus, Lance Henriksen as the lead villain is truly in a league of his own—improvising his lines like he’s calling audibles at the line of scrimmage. With every bone-crunching tackle and brutal takedown, this movie piles on the action with the same intensity as a goal-line defense. In this episode of The Offering, Jerry’s running the full playbook, from the over-the-top stunts to the jaw-dropping one-liners that’ll make any action fan cheer from the sidelines.

In this Halloween Special episode of The Offering with Jerry Horror, we boot up a forgotten horror classic from the 90s that tried to merge the world of CD-ROM gaming with the gory thrills of slasher flicks. A video game spin-off was in the works, but the plans crashed like a corrupted file when the movie failed to load up big numbers at the box office. What should’ve been a cutting-edge experience instead got stuck in the loading screen of obscurity. This film promised plenty of sick practical effects, but like deleting important game files, the censors cut a ton of gnarly gore from the final release. It’s a shame because teenage horror fans were definitely hoping for more carnage in their gameplay! However, the film’s writer hit the save button on his career, going on to write cult hits like Se7en and 8mm, along with a spiritual sequel to this film called Hideaway. Looks like he rebooted his career in a big way. So, get ready to insert the disc and download the twisted behind-the-scenes stories as Jerry takes you through this overlooked gem. If you’re nostalgic for the days of cyber-ghouls, creepy storylines, and missed opportunities in horror history, this episode is sure to reboot your spooky season vibes.

In this episode of The Offering with Jerry Horror, we high-kick our way through a 1989 action flick that packs a punch—but the story behind the scenes might just kick harder. Originally conceived as a sequel to Masters of the Universe (yes, that Masters of the Universe), this film almost got shelved until its star roundhouse-kicked his way to worldwide box office fame. Suddenly, what was destined to be a forgotten relic of the late '80s found new life thanks to its lead actor’s knack for delivering epic martial arts moves. But it’s not all kicks and glory! A stunt performer actually lost his eye during the production after a real knife was used in one of the more intense scenes. Yeah, that’s right—a guy sacrificed an eyeball to make sure the movie looked as real as possible. You can’t make this stuff up, and Jerry’s here to break down all the wild behind-the-scenes stories that took this low-budget film from the scrap heap to video store legend status. So join Jerry as he kicks open the vault and dives into the movie’s path from toy franchise wannabe to cult classic.

In this sick episode of The Offering with Jerry Horror, we scrub in for a diagnosis of a 1992 slasher that went a little mad in the operating room. As the first of three Dark Horse comic adaptations, this flick flatlined at the box office while its counterparts like The Mask and Timecop lived healthier lives. Originally meant to be a serious psychological thriller in the vein of Silence of the Lambs, this film took a sharp turn into campy slasher territory—turning a promising diagnosis into something far more routine. Unfortunately, the MPAA wasted no time in cutting away 10 minutes of blood-soaked "procedures," leaving fans feeling like the good doctor never got to show off his full surgical skillset. And, if the film had been a bigger hit, we could’ve been in for an even crazier sequel, where our psychotic physician would trade in his scalpel for a supernatural twist, creating an undead army ready for discharge. Jerry prescribes a full examination of what went wrong with this film’s prognosis and why it couldn’t revive the slasher genre as intended. Filled with medical malpractice, gory operations, and a villain who should’ve been checked into the psych ward long ago, this episode is sure to leave you feeling queasy—but in the best way possible.

In this electrifying episode of The Offering with Jerry Horror, we plug into the shocking story behind a 1989 horror film that Universal hoped would zap new life into their slasher game. Desperate for their own version of a certain razor-gloved dream demon, the studio charged ahead with a new villain who was all about high voltage mayhem. Despite the jolt of excitement surrounding the film, the pressure to deliver dazzling special effects led the lead artist to suffer a complete meltdown, leaving behind a trail of sparks and shattered nerves. Surprisingly, this high-wattage horror flick generated a decent amount of buzz at the box office, leaving the director scratching his head and wondering why the current never flowed into a sequel. Adding to the film's shocking legacy, it originally received an X rating due to its intense scenes, forcing the filmmakers to cut down the voltage multiple times just to get an R rating. Join Jerry as he powers through the twists and turns of this electrifying tale, from the behind-the-scenes burnout to the studio's failed attempt to charge up a new franchise.
