SINNERS out there breaking records with *16* Oscar nominations (and look at THE UGLY STEPSISTER getting in there with a hair & makeup nom, too!). www.npr.org/2026/01/22/n...

On this episode of the podcast we take a look at director Johannes Roberts’ Primate, in theaters now. We also suggest some more killer ape movies, and get into Heated Rivalry corner. All this and we share our experiences with exotic pets! It gets WILD!

We're 2/2 on servers at restaurants giving us their life stories & all the tea on the New Orleans restaurant scene. Our dude, Kevin, at Deja Vu got some @reportcarnage.bsky.social stickers because he was COVERED in horror gear & tattoos. He also sent us a screener for his indie film. Bar is HIGH.

You've had a few days to listen to the episode so now we'll give you our full top 20! First up, Nick's list!

Happy New Year! On this episode of the podcast, we are counting down our top ten horror films of 2025. We discuss some select honorable mentions, and talk about our favorite new-to-them discoveries of the year as well! Give it a listen and hop into the comments to discuss!

We're always telling you to watch THE BLACKCOAT'S DAUGHTERA, so now you have no excuse.

MARSHMALLOW hits @shudder.com today! Check it out & listen to our episode. cinepunx.com/the-carnage-...

If you're a KC-area friend of the pod, the Stray Cat Film Center, in conjunction with @severinfilms.bsky.social, is showing both @kierlajanisse.bsky.social's OCCUPANT OF THE ROOM & TO FIRE YOU COME AT LAST tomorrow, 12/30. www.straycatfilmcenter.com/screeningsan...

Watch the delightful short ROGER IS A SERIAL KILLER featuring @barbaracrampton.bsky.social over at @fangoria.bsky.social if you need a quick holiday pick-me-up. www.fangoria.com/roger-is-a-s...

Happy holidays! Dropping a day early to give you some ideas for your holiday watchlist! We look at The Boulet Brothers’ Holiday of Horrors, an anthology w/ installments from @bouletbrothers.bsky.social, David Dastmalchian, @akelacooper.bsky.social, and @katesiegel.bsky.social, now on @shudder.com.

What perfect timing! Our final holiday rewind is last year's episode on ... CURTAINS FOR CHRISTMAS! Our latest drops tomorrow. cinepunx.com/the-carnage-...

Holiday rewind continues with our third (!) Christmas film of 2023, IT'S A WONDERFUL KNIFE. cinepunx.com/the-carnage-...

The second of three holiday movies in 2023 was Jenn Wexler's THE SACRIFICE GAME, as the Christmas rewind marches on. cinepunx.com/the-carnage-...

Our holiday rewind continues with 2023's BROOKLYN 45. We didn't cover it during the holidays, but @tedgeoghegan.bsky.social's post-WW2 ghost story definitely counts. cinepunx.com/the-carnage-...

While you're waiting for next week's Christmas episode, take a look back at our past holiday extravaganzas. Our first one was Joe Begos' CHRISTMAS BLOODY CHRISTMAS in 2022. We'll share more over the next few days. cinepunx.com/the-carnage-...

Sorry we've been quiet lately. The holidays are busy, but we'll have a new holiday-packed episode dropping on Christmas Eve morning. Watch The Boulet Brothers' Holiday of Horrors on @shudder.com & make your way to a theater near you to catch the Silent Night, Deadly Night remake & you'll be all set.

New episode is out and we're talking about The Occupant of the Room from director Kier-La Janisse’s, now streaming on Shudder. We also get into Mike L. Taylor’s wildly unhinged Christmas film Gnome Sick: 7 Slays Til Mithras, now streaming on Tubi and available on Blu-ray from Dark Star Pictures.

I won!! I'm so excited for this fine holiday Blu-ray! Curtains for Christmas is like a mashup of Hallmark style holiday movies with a scrappy bloody slasher! If that sounds fun you can watch it on Prime, Hoopla, Roku, etc. We also have a @reportcarnage.bsky.social episode about it!

Watching @mickgarris.bsky.social's SLEEPWALKERS & Susan is fucking fascinated by Clovis.

Watch the film, read the article with director @kierlajanisse.bsky.social, & you'll be all set for next week's episode.

Seconded (& thirded, probably, courtesy @darkhumorgirl.bsky.social & I's enthusiastic episode of @reportcarnage.bsky.social on it). cinepunx.com/the-carnage-...

Happy Thanksgiving creeps! We've got a new episode for you! Take a break from your family with us as we look at Keeper, director Osgood Perkins’ third movie in 18 months. We also suggest some more weird stuff in the woods and talk about what foods we've eaten because of our Midwestern upbringing.

New episode tomorrow, but a reminder we've covered both THANKSGIVING & BLOOD RAGE if you need Turkey Day entertainment.

Scarlett Johansson to Star in Mike Flanagan’s THE EXORCIST Film from Blumhouse-Atomic Monster and Morgan Creek Entertainment for Universal Pictures dailydead.com?p=311693

We quite enjoyed it. cinepunx.com/the-carnage-...

Just an absolute gem of an actor.

Next episode is going to be a wild ride.

Carnage Report now represented at the Cabazon Dinosaur park! Tell 'em Large Marge sent you!

Carnage Reporter stickers representing the pod in the Punk Rock Museum bathrooms! The men's room is substantially more stickered than the women's!

Our wishlist for guests this year was @adamcesare.bsky.social, @bitterkarella.bsky.social, & @tedgeoghegan.bsky.social, & they all ended up on the show! Who should we shoot for in 2026?

90% chance of @nuthousepunks.bsky.social reviewing this on the next episode.

On the latest we take a look at Frankenstein from director @realgdt.bsky.social Guillermo del Toro now streaming on Netflix. We also suggest some more Gothic horror and talk about what other classic literature we love. Plus, we give you trailers galore!

Everyone see PREDATOR: BADLANDS this weekend so all of these fucking losers can eat shit.

Jill Schoelen's films were formative for me, so it's an incredible honor to share her un-retirement story. She's back, and she's got horror fans at the forefront of her mind.

🚨Scheduling change Carnage Reporters! The showtimes for Shelby Oaks are... limited... So we're pivoting and next week's episode we'll be discussing Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein! It hits Netflix Friday so you'll have time to prepare accordingly!🚨

How are you all finishing up the creepy season?

Happy Halloween Maniacs!! Our last rerun list of the season is our Slashers picks! It's Friday, aren't we all ready for some stabby fun?

It's true! Midnight pals podcast returns tonight!!

One last Halloween season commercially-adjacent short film. Hunter Schafer stars in "The Hunt," debuting Gentle Monster's fall collection. youtu.be/877sg39dyWA?...

We're getting ready for Halloween by talking about R.L. Stine’s Pumpkinhead from director Jem Garrard, now streaming on Tubi. We also chat with director/film publicist @tedgeoghegan.bsky.social who shares some stories and how he came to horror.

As we close in on the big day let's get cozy with our favorite Comfort Horror picks!

You get an extra rerun this week because we missed posting this one last week! Frankenstein is on everyone's mind so here are some instructional videos on how to build your own patchwork monster!

There is a Halloween episode of High Potential out now & it has a cameo from the one & only Teen Witch herself, Robin Lively.

This week we're getting out of our comfort zones with our favorite (?) Discomfort Horror movies! What makes you uncomfortable in horror?

LFK horror nerds: they're showing RENFIELD & BRIDE OF CHUCKY at Harbour Lights & JENNIFER'S BODY & EVIL DEAD RISE at Replay tonight. If I didn't have work early tomorrow, I'd be bar-hopping & watching creepy shit until last call.

We joke a lot about Paramount+ & AppleTV being the streamers we always forget, but the former has every episode of Are You Afraid of the Dark? & if you need some perfect short-form comfort viewing, it takes the cake. Feel like you're a kid again & get freaked out when it goes harder than it has to.

Feeling a little undead this weekend? How about a look back at our list of zombie movie suggestions?

Hot tip: you can go to YouTube & search "Nick or Treat" or "Snick or Treat" & pull up long blocks of Halloween themed Nickelodeon shows (some include the commercials!) to help set your holiday vibes! Once you do this your YouTube algorithm should be dialed in for goodies for the rest of the month!

On this episode, we take a look at V/H/S/Halloween, now streaming on Shudder. Plus trailers galore, and V/H/S/Halloween line producer Johnny Starke joins us to share behind-the-scenes stories & how he came to horror in the latest installment of The Gate. cinepunx.com/the-carnage-...

Children can be so terrifying! Check out our list of Killer Kid films to enjoy with the whole family... well maybe not all of them are appropriate for your own killer kids!
