Kill By Kill: Talking Horror Characters One Death At A Time

Death is just a word, but podcasting is a sacred duty - that’s why we’re braving the storm to bring you follow-up coverage to a blockbuster sequel, 2025’s BLACK PHONE 2!! That’s right, we’re not just taking ghost calls, we’re making them as we dig into the evolution of the film’s lore building, explore the very pointed and relevant Christian messaging within both Black Phone movies, consider the compelling nature of a character’s decency, and discuss what makes an essential Cargill/Derrickson horror flick!! All this, plus cabin rules, Curtains references, potty mouths, stoned snow jogging, skeleton feet, blizzard camps, pot dealer haircuts, sensual dojo dream fights, and a 16mm-filmed version of Choose Your Own Deathventure!! Be warned: it's SPOILERS almost immediately! NOTE: Last week, Gena successfully underwent surgery and received her kidney transplant. We're thrilled for her and can't wait to start recording new episodes, but there may be some delays. There might also be zero missing weeks of new episodes. Just be aware that we're going to try our best in the coming months.  Part of the BLEAV Network.Get even more episodes exclusively on Patreon!

Thank Jason it’s... Tuesday?! On this week's revisit, we dig into more characters from FRIDAY THE 13th as we bid adieu to our beloved camp cook (Annie) and Crystal Lake's first-class clown (Ned), and we answer a series of important questions like: When you’re new in town, should you ask a dog for directions? Is it okay to be jealous of a crazy person’s biking posture? Are you properly prepared to exit a moving vehicle today? Plus, another seminal game of Choose Your Own Deathventure and a conspiracy that will rock the foundation of the Friday franchise forever! Whether this is a return to our Crystal Lake coverage or your first time at Camp Crystal Lake, it's a good time to get into Kill By Kill!!   Part of the BLEAV Network.Get even more episodes exclusively on Patreon!

Do we have a story to tell you! Gather ‘round as we tell the tale for four guys who cannot handle their polycule!!

Huddled next to the fire with a snifter of brandy is editor and TikTok retro movie reviewer, Brendan Murphy (@MurphCo)!! Along the way, we dig into author Peter Straub’s road to a million-dollar payday, unpack why adapting the book proved to be so tricky, and we reopen our cinematic feud with the onscreen presence of Craig Wasson!! All this, plus bozo clusters, ghoul henchmen, chocolate ‘staches, tree snake tricks, non-apologetic night strangulation, Manitou-adjacent kimonos, the return of Dirty Peanut, World of Cinemagic tricks, mouth gifts, and take on a full-frontal edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure!!

Thank Jason it’s been nearly 10 years!! That's right, we're celebrating almost a decade of making fun of horror movie characters in the order in which they die by revisiting where it all began: the first episode of Kill By Kill!! In this episode, Patrick and Gena will unpack all the gory details of horror cinema’s least appreciated element: the characters, starting with the 1980 slasher classic, FRIDAY THE 13th! This is where it all began, starting with our own personal introductions to the Friday franchise before delving into the original film’s cold open and the fully clothed, yet steamy, encounter between Barry & Claudette way back in 1958. Along the way, we discuss the raw sexuality of folk songs, talk about the practicalities of dry humping, and poor cardboard box-throwing accuracy before a rousing game of Choose Your Own Deathventure!!

Well, you made it to 2026. It’s officially the Dead of Winter. What better way to celebrate the frozen tundra of our lives like a trip to where the sun is warm, the waves are tasty, and the beach is… deadly!! That’s right, we’re cracking open the Patreon Vault to let everyone hear our savagely sandy evaluation of 1981’s creature-that’s-barely-featured, BLOOD BEACH!! Along the way, we explore dark-ass piers, cops who can’t shut up about Chicago, useless eyewitnesses, swimming commutes, pitiful pathologists, John F*#king Saxon, chomped members, local politics, and so much more!!  NOTE: We will see you for a brand new episode next Friday!!    Part of the BLEAV Network.Get even more episodes exclusively on Patreon!
