Nightmare on Film Street - A Horror Movie Podcast

Like, zoinks, Fiends. It's the season finale of Nightmare on Film Street! Join your horror hosts Kimmi & Jon as they unveil their final film, reveal the season's secret theme, and announce our contest winners!

It's a stacked episode this week but, most importantly, we are finally digging into one of our most requested movies, and one that we waited too damn long to watch! This week, we close out our top-secret film fest with Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island (1998), and this movie really has it all. Zombies (duh), ghosts (a must), werecats (didn't see that one coming), authentic...

Kane Parson's Backrooms, the current holder of The Internet's Creepypasta Heavyweight Belt, has finally hit the big screen. Delivering a unique take on the Liminal Horror experience, Backrooms has quietly become one of the most recognizable horror properties in the world and this new feature film delves deeper into the world of those spooky hallways than ever before. But don't come looking for answers because you're going to walk away with more questions than you came to the movie with thanks to A24's patented confuse-the-hell-out-of-you movie making template.

Join your horror hosts Kimmi & Jon as they...

We're on a ghost hunt on this week's episode of the Nightmare on Film Street horror movie podcast, with Housebound (2014)!

Join your horror hosts Kimmi and Jon as they get to the bottom of a decades long murder mystery, uncover a ghost in the walls, and toil in the family troubles of New Zealand's finest horror comedy.

After Kylie gets caught trying to break into an atm, she's sentenced to 8 month house arrest at her childhood home with her estranged mum, Miriam, and step-dad Graham. Starved for entertainment, Kylie begins down a rabbit-hole chasing after...

Accidentally picking up a supernatural hitchhiker sucks even worse when your van is your fulltime house. We review André Øvredal's (Autopsy of Jane Doe, Last Voyage of the Demeter) Passenger on the latest Drive home from the Drive-In episode of the Nightmare on Film Street horror movie podcast!

A couple throw all of their belongings into storage and hit the road in a souped-up camper van, but life on the road isn't as idyllic as they had hoped. After coming across a strange accident on the road a mysterious traveler seems to have hopped on board, and it...

Be careful what you wish for... Is what someone should have said to the love-hungry main character of OBSESSION. Curry Barker's big Hollywood feature debut follows a guy who wishes on a magical willow branch that his crush will fall utterly in love with him. And she does. But it isn't that "yes, I'll totally be your regular human girlfriend" kind of love, it's that "I'd like to hollow out your organs so I can crawl inside you like you're a big ole bird's nest" kind of love.

Note: Drive Home from the Drive-in reviews are FULL...

You are cordially invited, dear Horror Fan, to this week's episode of Nightmare on Film Street. There'll be food and drink and ghosts, and perhaps even a few murders...

Join your horror hosts Kimmi & Jon as they sit down to debate whether House on Haunted Hill (1959) is the greatest movie of all time, or just a nonsensical bit of ghostly fun that makes absolutely no sense when you stop to give it more than a second's thought. Tune in as Kimmi comes to the show ready to tear this movie down, and Jon has his back against...

It's Full Moon O'clock on this week's episode of Nightmare on Film Street as your horror hosts Kimmi & Jon dive into the snowy werewolf whodunit The Wolf of Snow Hollow. This gory gut-punch comedy is a murder mystery, a cops vs serial killer thriller and a silly small town black comedy all rolled into one brilliantly dark slice of indie horror. Join ussss...

Damian McCarthy (Oddity) is back with another terrifying folklore-y fright with Hokum, a film that follows American author and outright asshole Ohm Bauman (Adam Scott) as he travels to a quiet inn in Ireland where his late parents spent their honeymoon in order to spread their ashes. Oh yeah, and the honeymoon suite is haunted by a witch.

And as a special treat, we can watch this entire review in video in the Nightmare on Film Street Fiend Club! Glorious color! All the dimensions! Tune in and let us know how you feel about video content. Love...

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the shower...Norman Bates is back at it again in Psycho II (1983), the sequel that no one saw coming! Join your horror hosts Kimmi & Jon as they check into the Bates Motel for a wild 'n' weird discussion about one the strangest horror movie follow-ups ever made.

Psycho II is so much better than we believed it could be, and we were so wrong to wait so long to finally cover this deranged follow-up to Alfred Hitchcock's celebrated classic. Join usssss....

Superstar life has gone spooky in David Lowery's latest, MOTHER MARY. The film follows a pop idol (Anne Hathaway) who shows up on her ex-head designer's (Michaela Coel) doorstep only a couple nights before her comeback performance, desperate for a new dress. While the women battle it out between bolts of fabric, they try to mend (or at least a come to terms with) a lifelong friendship and business partnership that was shred to ruins over a decade prior. Oh yeah, and there might be a ghost.

And as a special treat, you can now see this...

This week on the Nightmare on Film Street horror movie podcast, your hosts Kimmi and Jon are talking brand new supernatural irish folklore horror Hokum with writer/director Damian McCarthy!

Hokum follows a disgruntled author (Adam Scott) as he travels to an Inn in rural Ireland where his deceased parents spent their honeymoon, to spread their ashes. Then spookies ensue... Like the appearance of a strange bunny with bulging eyes, a honeymoon suite with a locked gate for an entrance, and an old folktale about an evil witch who snatches children to the underworld.

As a special treat, we're sharing our Fiend Club Exclusive review of Lee Cronin's The Mummy in the main feed for everyone to enjoy. Want more? Join usssss in the Fiend Club for more bonus content and a video version of this episode!

You know a 1970s Italian Horror is going to go hard when its tagline is "The Corpse That Didn't Want To Die!". On this week's episode of Nightmare on Film Street, your horror hosts Kimmi & Jon laugh their way through one of the most confusing (but also, maybe one of the best) Giallos they have ever covered on the podcast.

The Red Queen Kills Seven Times (1972) is everything. It's a murder mystery, a slasher, a ghost story, a sibling rivalry tale, a cop-procedural, and a supernatural family curse all rolled into one wild ride...

Where does evil come from? Does it live within us, or is it something we give permission to enter, like a vampire or an annoying house guest who can't take the hint that the party's over and it's time to go home.

On this week's episode of Nightmare on Film Street, your horror hosts Kimmi & Jon discuss the eerie early 2000s psychological horror Session 9 (2001). Join usssss as we dig through some old tapes, debate the origins of evil, and share our own stories about trespassing in abandoned buildings, narrowing avoid death and *gasp* tetanus....

Join us on the moors this week as your horror hosts Kimmi and Jon discuss the horror-ified Sherlock Holmes classic The Hound of The Baskervilles(1959). Starring Hammer Horror icons Peter Cushing and (certified stud, according to Kimmi) Christopher Lee, this supernatural murder mystery delves into family death curses, aristocratic serial killers, and hounds from hell! Its a double-breasted eerie adventure with more outfit changes than a season of Ru Paul's Drag Race and a spooky hell hound that deeeeefinitely isn't just a regular farm dog wearing a mask. Join usssss..

Friend of the show Adam Roberts RETURNS to tell us all about Panic Fest 2026, and everything he and team are cooking up for the 14th edition of the festival. Panic Fest is one of our absolute favourite film festivals and this year's line-up includes a 15th anniversary screening of You're Next (on 35mm!), special presentations of Curry Baker's Obsession & Damian McCarthy's Hokum, as well as Spider One's Big Baby, the new horror-comedy anthology Grind from Brea Grant & Chelsea Stardust, and Scout Taylor-Compton & Danielle Harris' Last Chance Motel which stars A Nightmare on Elm Street's Heather Langenkamp in a bitchin...

Join your horror hosts Kimmi and Jon as they traverse back into the monsterverse (and covid times, ew) to re-visit Leigh Whannell's translucently transcendent horror film The Invisible Man (2020). Say goodbye to the bandages and maniacal laughter of yester-year, and say hello to modern brutalist decor (cement, so much cement), ghosting bad boyfriends who then ghost you back, and celebrating Christmastime but only just barely.

We also chat about monsters, because you know, this is a horror movie. Joinn ussss!

This week on the Nightmare on Film Street horror movie podcast, your hosts Kimmi and Jon are talking brand new found footage fright BODYCAM with writer/director (and friend of the pod!) BRANDON CHRISTENSEN!

Bodycam is shot entirely from the perspective of two police officers' bodycams during a not-so-normal night shift that takes them to a domestic violence call from hell. We put on our Certified Found Footage Fan™ badges and sat down with Brandon to discuss the unique storytelling of the sub-genre and the even more unique perspective of shooting from the literal chests of your ac...

IT'S ALIVE! ...AGAIN!

Join your horror hosts KImmi & Jon as they kick off a brand-new season of Nightmare on Film Street with the mid 2000s creepy doll classic The Boy (2016). This genre bending psychological "ghost" story has everything you're looking for in gothic haunting BUT ALSO a wall-crawlin', porcelain mask-wearing, sweat-stained cardigan-sporting sonuvabitch named Brahms. Join ussss as we laugh our way through this surprising clever horror flick and kick off a new collection of movies for Season XII of the show.

And, of course, a new season means a new secret theme so get...

Nightmare on Film Street returns March 5th!

And in the meantime, we're sharing with you the first episode of our new Fiend Club mini-series "Too Long; Didn't Watch" where we only watch the 1st act of a movie we previously skipped (because it looked too predictable) and do our best to guess how the movie ends.

We've all complained that modern horror movies are too formulaic and that Hollywood is out of original ideas, endlessly reusing overworked plots or spoon-feeding us copy+paste stories. So, rather than spend what precious little time we have left...

Nightmare on Film Street returns March 5th!

And in the meantime, we're bringing you a fun preview of all the gory horror awaiting you at the 2026 SXSW Film Festival. Joining us on the show today is senior programmer Peter Hall, who watched 600+ movies in the lead-up to this year's festival. He shares his thoughts and first impressions of the entire Midnighter slate of films, and his favorite major studio Horror world premiering at the fest next month.

On the docket: Ready or Not 2, They Will Kill You, Hokum, Buddy, Over Your Dead Body, Impostors, Never...

The podcast one year in the making is finally here! Join your Horror hosts Kimmi & Jon as they sit down to share their Top 10 Horror Movies of 2025, from blood-thirsty blockbusters that took the world by storm to lesser-known hidden gems that might have passed you by.

The time has come, the podcasters said, to talk of many things. Of shoes, and ships, and big plague rats- of Counts and their bare dinks. On this week's episode of Nightmare on Film Street your horror hosts set their sights on Robert Eggers Nosferatu (2024) and (finally!) reveal this season's secret theme.

We had to save this modern monster movie for our finale episode because if we opened with it like we originally planned, you would have guessed the secret theme before we made it to episode 2. Join ussss with us as we dissect Robert Eggers re-imagining...

Did you know that David Cronenberg directed a Christmas movie? It's kinda bleak and insanely brutal, but Eastern Promises (2007) is totally a holiday movie, as long as you're okay with your holiday movies having a naked knife fight, multiple slit throats, and a gang of ruthless Russian mobsters.

On this week's episode of Nightmare on Film Street your horror hosts Kimmi & Jon dissect what some might consider the best (and least f*cked-up!) movie of David Cronenberg's career. Eastern Promises is not for the faint of heart but also, if you ask Kim, features a romance for...

As we all prepare to spend more time with our families over the holiday season, it's important to remember that the person sitting across from you at the dinner table might just be a cold-blooded serial murderer!

Join your horror hosts Kimmi & Jon as they revisit The Stepfather (1987) a MomCore cult classic and one of the most fascinating serial killer character studies of the 1980s. Featuring an Oscar worthy performance from Terry O'Quinn (assuming the Academy actually watched horror movies), The Stepfather is terrifying look into the world a cold, calculated monster obsessed with dad sweaters and...

Spoiler Alert! The Terminator (1984) is a slasher film. You can disagree all you want but on this week's episode of Nightmare on Film Street, your horror hosts Kimmi & Jon (well, mostly just Jon. Kimmi might still be unconvinced) lay out their case and as to why James Cameron's monumental sci-fi/action stunner is totally a horror movie.

Here's a brief outline of the argument: The Terminator is a slasher villain because he is an unstoppable, expressionless killing machine, just like Michael Myers. He only walks but always catches up with his victims, just like Jason Voorhees (not...

Happy Halloween, Horror Fans! We're closing out the spooky season this year with Ryan Spindell's The Mortuary Collection (2020), one of our favourite modern horror anthologies and the movie that introduced the world to Jacob Elordi half a decade before he was tapped to play Frankenstein's Monster by Guillermo Del Toro.

The Mortuary Collection (2020) is pure Halloween fun from start to finish, featuring tentacle monsters, dead kids, dead wives, an exploding d****, a banging soundtrack, and one hell of performance from Clancy Brown as a morose mortician/macabre storyteller. It's a wild ride of wickedly weird stories and...

On this week's episode of Nightmare on Film Street we're pulling a cult classic from the crates and carving out some time to discuss a lesser-known movie we believe deserves more attention- Just kidding, we're talking about Ari Aster's Midsommar (2019) y'all!

Join your horror hosts Kimmi & Jon as they say goodbye to the grey, drab city and welcome the bright and inviting (but surprisingly deadly) world of the Hårga. Midsommar hit the horror world like ton of 72-year-old bricks that have fulfilled their purpose, and modern cinema was changed forever. Whether you're still head over heels f...

Join your horror hosts Kimmi & Jon as explore stranger dangers of Creep 2 (2017), one of their found footage faves. There's a lot of serial killer talk in this one but, also, Kimmi's deep-seated fears that Jon is definitely going to get them both murdered by someone like "Aaron" because if his terrible survival instincts. Join ussssss

Micheline & R.H. are just as obsessed with Halloween as you are, and it really comes through in their fun 'n' freaky segment. Hear all about how this crazy story came together, how pretty much all decor in the film came from their own spooky home, and what 2 movies they would play if they could take over a drive-in theatre on Halloween night!  Join ussssss

We're ringing in the Halloween season with a modern horror re-imagining of the classic monster movie template on this week's episode of Nightmare on Film Street. Join your horror hosts Kimmi & Jon as they discuss Frank Henenlotter's b-movie debut Basket Case!

Jon insists this is an undeniable grindhouse masterpiece, and an unrecognized Universal Monster movie, but Kim is pretty sure it's just a sleazy creature-feature about how teenage boys are gross, and their wieners turn them into monsters. Tune in now to hear both sides of this ludicrous argument and discover what's in the basket... Join ussssss<...

You don't have to go to Texas for a chainsaw massacre, and you don't have to go to Chris Angel for a mind freak!

One of our Top 10 Horror Movies of 2020 (with Top 10 Of All Time potential), Possessor is hyper violent, hella trippy, and one of the most intense swan dives into the darkest corners of the human psyche.

We're joined on this week's episode of Nightmare on Film Street by writer/director Brandon Christensen to discuss his new 1980s Halloween set babysitter slasher Night of The Reaper streaming on Shudder Sept 19, and his 2026 found footage horror Bodycam which recently celebrated its world premiere.

Nightmare on Film Street returns! Join your horror hosts Kimmi & Jon as they kick off a brand-new season of the show with the criminally underseen (some say criminally underrated) Slaughter High (1986). It's a cult classic slasher trashterpiece loaded with dumb gags, silly deaths, and a cruel prank-gone-wrong that just begs for sweet revenge. And despite being the perfect B-Movie to kick off the back-to-school season, with a VHS cover that belongs in the pantheon of A+ physical media, Slaughter High (1986) has not been given the respect it deserves....including here on this very podcast 😅

Welcome to the climactic conclusion of Nightmare on Film Street, Season X! Join your horror hosts Kimmi & Jon as they embrace the trauma demon for a discussion of Parker Finn's Smile 2, a movie so scary, so stylish, and so overloaded with depressing pop music that Kimmi put it on her Best Horror Movies of 2024 List 💀

But wait...there's more! Stay tuned as we reveal the Secret Theme we have been dropping clues for this entire season on the show. We go back through each of the films we discussed, expose their connective tissue, and announce the winners who...

Welcome to the apocalypse! Where gas is more valuable than human life and where you might be forced to fight to the death like futuristic gladiator punks. We're finally diving into the Mad Max universe on this week's episode of Nightmare on Film Street, as we're revving our engines in celebration of George Miller's controversial Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome (1985). Join your horror hosts Kimmi & Jon as they break down their definitive Mad Max ranking, debate whether the post-apocalyptic desert renegade look is peak fashion, and fan cast Tina Turner as a guest judge on Ru Paul's Drag Race. 

Whether Jared Leto wants to admit it or not, Urban Legend (1998) does exist, and it's still the best of the "Killer Gets Revenge By Re-enacting Well Known Urban Legends But Also Wears A Winter Coat Cause It Looks Cool" subgenre. That old chestnut.

Join your Horror Hosts Jon & Kim as they revisit this black sheep of the 90s Slasher canon and the only movie brave enough to remind us of the dangers of mixing pop rocks with drain cleaner. A decade before The Expendables made mashups cool again, Urban Legend brought together Horror icons Robert Englund, Brad...

Join your Horror hosts Kimmi & Jon for a rocking night...to die for! We're powering up the amps, pulling out the drill guitar and making the scene scream with Slumber Party Massacre II (1987). It's a rockabilly nightmare about sex, drugs, rock 'n' roll, and watching all your friends die horrible deaths.

Taking huge leaps from the original, Slumber Party Massacre II is 100,000 volts of jukebox inspired insanity with a bitchin' all-girl band, some of the grossest effects of the decade, and a villain that isn't afraid to shake his little butt while doing his thing.

Halloween isn't just a season, it's a state of mind. And that state of mind? An insatiable thirst for revenge from beyond the grave that can only summoned by backmasking records, of course! We're talking heavy metal horror Trick or Treat (1986) on this week's episode of the Nightmare on Film Street Horror movie podcast!

Join your horror hosts Kimmi & Jon as they head back to the high school halls of the 80s where bullies run free, gargoyles get the girl, and shop class had very few safety measures. Also, rockstars come back from the dead! How very.<...
