Horror Movie Survival Guide is a weekly podcast where two long time chums (and unlikely gorehounds) watch and talk about horror films from a survival point of view. We ask the question - how can *we* end up as the final girl? Join Julia Marchese and Teri Gamble as we take a deep dive into everything from OG horror to newly released films (but preferably classics on VHS). We'll talk about obscure details that no one else notices, spin off into alternate casting universes, crush on some foxy, dodgy fellows (and creepy uncles), and arm ourselves with the knowledge necessary to become The Final Girl!

episode 55: Children of the Corn "He who walks behind the rows"
Children of the Corn, based on Stephen King's short story about a Nebraska town overrun by murderous teen and child religious cult members spawned 8 sequels as of this date and may still be chugging along as a series. Linda Hamilton and Peter Horton star as the hapless couple who stumble upon the town's evil and get dragged further into its clutches than they ever imagined. Support the show
episode 56: Bloody Birthday "All her brains are in her bra."
Our killer kid theme continues with this 1981 film about three psychotic, voyeuristic astrologically linked 10 year olds who go on a killing spree to punish everyone who has done them wrong. A plucky final girl, lots of gratuitous nudity and a bow and arrow death - what more can you ask for in a film?Support the show
episode 57: It's Alive "What's wrong with my baby?"
With a score by Bernard Herrmann and makeup effects by Rick Baker, this film should knock it out of the park, and yet...It's Alive is as low budget as it gets (though is spawned 2 sequels!) and takes on the killer kid theme to a new height - killer babies! Larry Cohen's grindhouse schlockfest could use some serious trimming, but it's got a blood thirsty infant at the center of it, so there's that! Support the show
episode 58: Firestarter "Burn it all down, baby."
Finishing up our killer kids round is the awesome film adaptation of Stephen King's Firestarter, with an all star cast led by little yet ferocious Drew Barrymore as Charlie, who must go on the lam when the government comes after her and her father to experiment on their special powers - including setting things on fire with a single look. The government's got some toasty work ahead of them!Support the show
episode 59: Interview with the Vampire - "What if all I have is my suffering?"
Anne Rice's modern take on the vampire comes to life with Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt tearing up the scenery and each other's hearts. With a sweeping score, gorgeous cinematography and extraordinary makeup, this is what happens when vampires have a big budget!
Support the showepisode 60: The Blob "Ribbed"
Chuck Russell's super fun remake of The Blob has lots of superb gory effects and rockin' characters too! Shawnee Smith, Kevin Dillon and - Julia's favorite- Donovan Leitch star. A rad romp!Support the show
episode 61: He Knows You're Alone "Want a Goober?"
Tom Hanks makes his illustrious film debut in this little seen Halloween knock off. Ostensibly about a killer who goes after brides, this flick has some enjoyable characters, a few scares and an adorable mortician - what more do you need? Support the show
episode 62: The Bride "Nuts and Cake"
If you have ever fantasized about Sting as Dr. Frankenstein and Jennifer Beals as the Bride, then this movie is for you! And it's like two movies in one, because we ALSO get Clancy Brown as Viktor "The Monster" Frankenstein and Time Bandit's David Rappaport on a side mission to join the circus! It doesn't quite work, but there's a lot to chew on!Support the show
episode 63: Dawn of the Dead "Wake Up Sucker!"
Julia and Marion discuss George A. Romero's Dawn of the Dead. It is a zombie classic.Support the show
episode 64: The Uninvited "They Call Them the Haunted Shores"
