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 76: The Dark Half "The sparrows are flying again"
George Romero and Stephen King team up again for 1993's The Dark Half, in which Timothy Hutton plays Thad Beaumont, a writer who has to kill off his author alter ego, George Stark, once his identity has been found out. But George isn't too happy about it. Superb performances and a super cool concept. Plus it's Stephen King, so you know Julia is happy!
Support the showepisode 77: Fright Night "Oh, you're so cool, Brewster!"
One of Marion and Julia's VERY favorite vampire films, written and directed by Tom Holland, this films hits all of the right comedy/horror notes - with terrific makeup effects, a great soundtrack and lovable characters, this films has it all. If you haven't seen it, what are you waiting for?
Support the showepisode 78: Day of the Dead "Choke on Them"
George Romero's final film in his "Dead" trilogy, following Night and Dawn, this film is a perfect continuation of the zombie apocalypse and where humanity winds up. We love that Romero is more concerned with the ramifications of a zombie takeover on the humans than on the creatures themselves. A fantastic film.
Support the showepisode 79: Horror Movie Survival Guide Happy New Year 2019
Julia, Marion, and producer Teri wish all you horror movie survivalists a happy 2019! Thanks for listening and we will keep bringing you horror movie survival tips and trivia in the new year!
Support the showepisode 80: Fade to Black "Bet you didn't know that!"
Marion and Julia are so happy to finally get to cover Fade to Black, one of their very favorite, under seen horror films. Dennis Christopher slays the role of Eric Binford, a lonely film fanatic whose line between reality and fantasy snaps as he begins dressing as film characters and murdering those who have wronged him. A fabulous concept, and fun execution! Highly recommended!
Support the showepisode 81: The Dead Zone "The ice is gonna break!"
It's a Stephen King/David Cronenberg mash up! Throw a little Christopher Walken in the mix and you are headed towards The Dead Zone! Walken's Johnny wakes up from a coma with mysterious psychometry powers and must decide how to use them for good. Or stopping evil.
episode 82: C.H.U.D. "It still doesn't wash, Bosch"
A low budget horror film that feels like a higher budget film solely on the quality of the actors involved - John Heard, Kim Griest, a bombastic Daniel Stern, and even a cameo by a baby faced John Goodman! This film puts the grit in gritty 80's New York City, oh and did I mention there are cannibalistic humanoid underground dwellers involved?
Support the showepisode 83: Poltergeist 2: The Other Side "I cahoot with no one"
The freaky Freeling family is back in this sequel to the smash hit, plagued again by ghosts trapped between dimensions who desperately want the light of that little cutie Carol Anne. Spectacular practical effects ahoy!
Support the showepisode 84: The Haunting "Whose hand was I holding?"
Perhaps the perfect haunted house movie, this black and white stunner from Robert Wise sets the bar for how to film a ghost hunt. Julie Harris, Claire Bloom, Russ Tamblyn and Richard Johnson star as a quartet determined to find out if Hill House is, indeed, haunted. Is it? Go on, guess...
Support the showepisode 85: Freaks "The code of the freaks"
Tod Browning's follow up to Dracula is a film that feels as fresh, modern and horrifying today as it did in 1932. Following the loves and losses of circus folk backstage, this movie reels you in and doesn't let go until the ghastly finale.
We also say goodbye to our lovely Marion as she moves on from Horror Movie Survival Guide. But, this does enable Julia to corrupt another victim into her den of horrors. Bwhaahaahaahaahaaaaaa.
