The Deadites are back… and apparently they’re not going anywhere anytime soon.

This week on The Corpse Cast, Mike and Matt dig into the two newest chapters in the Evil Dead universe: Evil Dead Rise and Evil Dead Burn.

We talk about how the franchise has evolved from the cabin-in-the-woods insanity of Sam Raimi’s original films into the much darker, nastier version of Evil Dead we’re getting today. How well does Rise hold up a few years later? Does Burn feel like an Evil Dead movie, or is the franchise becoming something completely different? And just how much blood, bodily trauma, and Deadite mayhem can two grown men reasonably discuss in one podcast?

**DON’T READ THE BOOK OUT LOUD.**

**The Corpse Cast** — horror movies, cult cinema, exploitation, and all the strange stuff lurking in the darker corners of film.

The show’s arrival on Scream Queens is especially fitting thanks to the woman behind the channel: Rhonda Shear, beloved by genre fans as the vivacious host of USA Network’s USA Up All Night. Throughout the 1990s, Shear helped introduce a generation of late-night viewers to horror movies, cult films, B-movies, and wonderfully weird cinema.

Today I’m taking a look at Pumpkinhead II: Blood Wings, the 1994 sequel to Stan Winston’s horror classic Pumpkinhead.

The big question:

Can any sequel live up to Lance Henriksen’s unforgettable performance in the original?

In this review, I discuss:

The cast and performances
Jeff Burr’s direction
The story and revenge themes
The creature effects
How it compares to the original Pumpkinhead
Why it deserves more credit than it gets

While Pumpkinhead II may never reach the emotional heights of the original, it’s still a fun 90s creature feature packed with practical effects, atmosphere, and some memorable kills.

What happens when vampires discover influencer culture and launch their own blood-draining subscription service? In this review of Onlyfangs (2025), I take a look at A&P Films’ latest indie horror-comedy, starring Kansas Bowling, Nina Lanee Kent, Drew Marvick, Jessa Flux, and more.

From vampire content creators and monster hunters to internet satire and low-budget horror filmmaking, Onlyfangs delivers a surprisingly entertaining mix of comedy, horror, and exploitation cinema.

In this review, I’ll discuss:

The story and characters
The performances
The humor and satire
What worked
What didn’t
The special features included on the disc

In this review, we’re taking a look at Inquisition (1976), the gothic Euro-horror film written and directed by legendary Spanish horror icon Paul Naschy.

Set during a plague-ridden witch hunt in medieval France, Inquisition follows Bernard de Fossey, an inquisitor tasked with rooting out witchcraft and heresy. When tragedy strikes a young woman named Catherine, she turns to dark forces for answers, setting off a chain of events involving Satanic pacts, religious hypocrisy, witch trials, occult rituals, torture chambers, and plenty of classic 1970s European horror atmosphere.

We’ll discuss Paul Naschy’s dual performance as both Bernard de Fossey and Satan, the film’s themes of religious paranoia and corruption, its incredible gothic visuals, memorable occult imagery, and why this strange blend of witchcraft horror and historical drama remains a favorite among Euro-horror fans.

If you’re a fan of Paul Naschy, Spanish horror, witchcraft movies, folk horror, occult cinema, Mondo Macabro releases, or classic European horror films from the 1970s, this is a movie worth checking out.

What do glam metal, Faustian bargains, Traci Lords, and soul-stealing rock stars have in common? They’re all packed into 1991’s Shock ‘Em Dead, one of the strangest cult horror movies of the VHS era.

In this review and retrospective, we’re diving into Shock ‘Em Dead (1991), a bizarre heavy metal horror film that combines Satanic deals, over-the-top rock stardom, outrageous kills, campy humor,

and plenty of early-’90s excess. When struggling guitarist Martin sells his soul for talent, fame, and fortune, he transforms into Angel Martin—a guitar-shredding rock god with a deadly secret.

We’ll discuss the film’s cast, including Traci Lords, Stephen Quadros, Aldo Ray, and Shaun Donahue, explore the movie’s unforgettable hair-metal atmosphere, and talk about the surprising involvement of legendary guitarist Michael Angelo Batio. Along the way we’ll cover the outrageous performances, ridiculous plot twists, memorable kills, and everything that makes Shock ‘Em Dead such a beloved cult horror oddity.

If you’re a fan of cult movies, VHS horror, heavy metal horror films, B-movies, Tubi horror, direct-to-video classics, or forgotten gems from the late ’80s and early ’90s, this is one you won’t want to miss.
