Monster Candy Podcast

Happy Halloween Week Candy Killers! We're back and have a special guest with us, Vincent from Camp Kaiju Monster Movie Podcast is back in the house! Many things were learned, what a "Chanteuse" is, what "Expostulation" means, what's new with Camp Kaiju, and what the gang thought about Christian Nyby and Howard Hawks' 1951 sci-fi/horror monster flick, "The Thing From Another World!" So light your jack-o-lanterns, grab your snack, and your thesaurus, and enjoy this Silver Scream Series episode of Monster Candy Podcast!

1, 2, Terry's coming for you...and so is the rest of the crew as they finally sit down and rip into a movie that started one of the most popular horror franchises ever, Wes Craven's 1984 "A Nightmare On Elm Street"! There's definitely a lot to say about this one, so make sure you grab that extra coffee pot from under your bed, set your alarms, and whatever you do, DON'T FALL ASLEEP...for this episode of Monster Candy Podcast!

Lake bound slahsers, vagina walls that spit out vhs tapes, and out of era handheld camcorders are just a few of the things the crew discuss as they wade into the waters of desire that is Jane Shoenbrun's 2026 pseudo-summer slasher, "Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma". This week it was Terry's turn to pick, and boy did he pick a doozie! This film was something. What do we mean by "something," you ask? Well, you'll just have to find out by listening to this episode of Monster Candy Podcast!

GIANT ANTS! Giant...Freakin....Ants! Who would have thought nuclear bomb testing in the New Mexico desert would lead to giant atomic bugs trying to take over the world? Apparently nobody!

So grab some sugar to snack on, settle into your underground dwelling and enjoy this episode of Monster Candy Podcast!

Come out...Come out...Wherever you are! We're back with the end of the Summer Slaughter Creature Series/Remake Rumble slugout we've been working on! This Summer Rumble, between the 1962 Cape Fear or the 1991 remake, is definitely one we struggled with...Also something Terry struggled with is his fear of Ron Perlman as "the Beast", and whether or not to give the late 80's tv series a shot. A summer champ will be crowned on this episode of Monster Candy Podcast!

Well, the Monster Candy crew couldn't wait any longer and just had to get down and dirty with Curry Barker's 2026 blockbuster of a horror flick, "Obsession"! A new attempt at a classic "Be careful what you wish for" trope that definitely gives folks A LOT to talk about, and boy have they been a'talkin...like, a ridiculous amount! Has all the talk been justified or did everyone lose their Got'damn minds?! This is what the gang is going to get to the bottom of on this episode of Monster Candy Podcast!

The Summer Slaughter continues for us here a Monster Candy Podcast, and apparently so does Terry's crashout on all the things he does not approve of, AND we get into Todd Strauss-Schulson's 2015 "The Final Girls"!
