A Podcast About Bad Movies
A Flop House tradition since 2008.
Every October the Flop House goes horror: a full month of bad scary movies, capped by the occasional Halloween-costume mini on November 1st. The show's longest-running tradition, going strong since 2008.
Shocktober concludes with the playfully titled The Bye Bye Man, starring the titular Bye Bye Man and some boring people. Meanwhile, Elliott channels Freddy Kreuger to give the Bye Bye Man some advice, Stu explains Dan doesn’t have to pick up floor food, and Dan has some questions about fish blow jobs.
On this final SHOCKTOBER episode we discuss the noose-is-loose would-be chiller The Gallows. Meanwhile, Elliott somehow weasels his way out of doing a Muppet voice, Stuart reveals Dick Tracy’s bias against the disabled, and Dan somehow doesn’t let the movie’s plotting make his head explode.
BOOOGENS! Shocktober begins with Victor Frankenstein, the movie that posits that maybe we don’t actually wanna see the monster that much. Meanwhile, Elliott disrespects the death of several major pop artists, Stu brings up Jackie Chan again, and Dan says some weird things about ears and hot dogs.
Every Shocktober must come, sadly, to an end, but not without our longest (and best?) episode of the month. Dan Macabre, Booart Skellington, and Elliott Killin’ are joined by Hellie Haglund to discuss “Ouija,” the movie that captures the thrill of moving a piece of wood across a board.
It’s the most magical time of the year! SHOCKTOBER! And this year we’re kicking off with the millenials-on-a-computer-screen shocker Unfriended. Meanwhile, Dan reads movie ad copy, Elliott talks Quidditch injuries,…
Shocktober continues/ends with Dario Argento totally forgetting everything he knew about filmmaking (and we don’t even like him that much) with Dracula 3D. Meanwhile, Dan reveals the alternate, director’s cut ending to Escape (The Pina Colada Song), Elliott out-pervs the pervazoid with his demands for more nudity, and Stuart once again astounds with his facility for accents.
As we all know, “He’s the Housecat (Arthur’s Theme)” was last year’s undisputed song of the autumn, with people blasting it out of their cars at their hot cider tastings, pumpkin chunkin’s, and Shocktober masquerade balls. But what of 2014? Well, THAT’S UP TO YOU.
Thank you ATM for blowing the lid off the all-too-common crime of ATM serial killing. Meanwhile, Stuart discovers the concept of the spoiler alert, and Elliott and Dan trade impressions of one of the most oft-imitated voices in Hollywood usurping the signature role of another most-imitated-voice in Hollywood.
