  • Opening Kill Episode 49: The Exorcist
    Jan 8 2026

    Shay steps in this week to fill the co-host chair as Michael is out for personal reasons, and together we tackle one of the most iconic horror films of all time: The Exorcist. We break down the unsettling performances, the slow-burn dread, and the moments that forever changed the genre. From shocking imagery to questions of faith, fear, and possession, this episode digs into why The Exorcist still holds up as a benchmark for horror—and whether it earns its place among the greatest of all time. 😈🎬

  • Opening Kill Episode 48: Bloody New Year
    Jan 1 2026

    This week we ring in the new year with Bloody New Year (1987), a bizarre slice of late-’80s British horror that throws a group of teens onto a mysterious island where time itself seems completely broken. What starts as a simple New Year’s Eve party quickly spirals into chaos when they discover an abandoned hotel filled with deadly traps, unexplained hallucinations, and a sinister force determined to make sure no one survives to see January 1st.

    We break down the movie’s strange time-loop vibes, over-the-top kills, and that unmistakable low-budget charm that only ’80s horror can deliver. From exploding champagne bottles to some truly questionable effects, we dig into what works, what absolutely doesn’t, and whether Bloody New Year deserves to be forgotten—or rediscovered as a cult oddity.

    As always, we also decide if the opening kill earns the coveted Butcher Knife 🗡️ or gets stuck with the dreaded Butter Knife 🧈. So grab a drink, count down the clock, and join us as we ask the most important question: is Bloody New Year a hidden gem, or just another holiday horror hangover? 🎉🩸

  • Opening Kill Episode 47: Black Christmas (2006)
    Dec 25 2025

    Happy Holidays! This Christmas day we dive into the 2006 remake of Black Christmas, a holiday slasher that dials the gore all the way up and then stares directly into your soul—mostly through eyeballs. We break down Billy’s messy, mean-spirited backstory, the over-the-top kills, and the movie’s bizarre obsession with eye trauma, from sharp objects to lingering close-ups that refuse to look away. It’s nasty, excessive, and clearly trying to outdo the original in shock value, so we talk about whether all that blood, skin, and eyeball carnage actually works or just feels grim for the sake of being grim. Grab some eggnog, avert your gaze don't eat the cookies, and join us as we tear into this sleazy holiday remake. 👁️🔪🎄

  • Opening Kill Episode 46: Jack Frost
    Dec 18 2025

    This week we’re talking about Jack Frost (1997), the killer snowman horror-comedy that somehow became a cult classic… even though it really shouldn’t have. We break down the plot, the low-budget effects, and the nonstop bad jokes while trying to figure out who this movie was actually made for.

    From questionable acting to scenes that make you wonder how this ever got greenlit, Jack Frost left us cold. We discuss what could have worked, what absolutely didn’t, and why this one completely misses the mark for us despite its holiday horror reputation.

    Grab some hot cocoa and join us as we melt down this frosty mess and explain why Jack Frost ends up on our naughty list. 🎄🩸
