This week we're unraveling nearly a century of cinematic history as we explore what happened to The Mummy. We debate whether the franchise ever had a true identity, compare the gothic horror of the original films to the swashbuckling spectacle of the 1999 version, and unpack why the 2017 reboot lost the heart that made the property iconic.

This week we're breaking down Round 5 of the 2026 Horror Games as the competition forces its remaining tributes out of their comfort zones and into unfamiliar territory. We debate legacy versus modern terror with Jennifer Check facing off against Frankenstein's Monster, argue over one of the most controversial matchups yet with Art the Clown versus The Thing, and unpack what it really means for a horror icon to survive without home field advantage. As we head into the final round, the stakes hit their peak as Jennifer Check and The Thing must prove they can take down the reigning champion, Michael Myers, in one last battle for the crown.

This week we're getting existential in black-and-white as we check out Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956).

This episode contains spoilers, beginning at 37:20.

We walk through each timeline, debate which ones actually work, and reveal how we each watch the series every spooky season. Whether you're Team Thorn, Team H20, or Team Grandma With a Shotgun, this guide will help you choose your own Haddonfield adventure.

Evil doesn't die. It just gets rebooted.

We carve out time for traditions like pumpkin carving, spooky playlists, and seasonal snacks, while also diving into our must-watch horror movies and the 31 Days of Horror challenge. This one's all about how we make the most of spooky season. and how you can join in too.

This week we're witnessing the end of an era with The Conjuring: Last Rites (2025). We unpack how the film handles the Warrens' swan song, reflect on its balance between family drama and supernatural dread, and dig into whether it truly sticks the landing as a franchise finale. In this episode's b-side, we break down the real Smurl family haunting, debate the credibility of the Warrens' involvement, and consider the absurdities of haunted duplex living.This episode contains spoilers, beginning at 40:57.

It's our favorite time of year, and we're bringing the whole campus together.

In this expanded episode of Slasher Digest FM, Kris and Chel usher in the official start of spooky season with the Hack or Slash University spirit in full force. Whether you're a freshman just tuning in or a tenured patron, you'll get the inside scoop on everything happening in and around the podcast this month.

We unveil this year's 31 Days of Horror calendar, share details about our new horror watch tracker, and preview the episodes and events coming your way this fall.

From the cinematic legacy of Universal’s The Wolfman to the modern twists found in Twilight, Underworld, and Harry Potter, we discuss how werewolves have evolved across decades of pop culture.

We also debate the anatomy of werewolf transformations—two legs vs. four, classic vs. CGI—and unpack the timeless struggle of control vs. chaos that defines their monstrous appeal.

Welcome to Hack or Slash, where we cut through the clutter to tell you whether a movie is a hack – a total joke, waste of time – or a slash – totally killer, pun intended.

Meet Your Hosts:

  • Kris: Your friendly neighborhood Slasher Enthusiast
  • Sean: The Classic Horror Connoisseur
  • Binx: The Paranormal Paramour
  • Mack: The Super Fly Space Guy

What We Do: Since our launch on Friday, October 13th, 2017, we've been your ultimate horror movie companions, reviewing films from silver screen classics to the latest releases in theaters.

Each episode is divided into spoiler-free and spoiler zone discussions, ensuring you can decide if a movie is worth your time without spoiling the experience. And once you've seen it, dive into the Spoiler Zone with us to unpack the kills, frills, and everything in between.

Our Mission: While horror movie reviews are our main attraction, our ultimate goal is to foster a community where conversations about horror movies enrich connections between people. We embrace our wildly different perspectives, creating a unique and inclusive space for all horror fans.

Join us every Friday as we review horror movies old and new, building a community of enthusiasts along the way. Whether you're a seasoned horror vet or new to the genre, there's a place for you in our spooky family.

So, are you ready to hitch a ride on our journey through every horror movie out there? Tune in to Hack or Slash, and let's make every Friday a slash!

In this episode's b-side, we dive into our own thoughts and emotions about hosting the live show, discuss Friday the 13th tattoos, and hear some outtakes from the live show.

This week we're celebrating our 300th episode milestone with a live show we hosted on Friday, October 13th in honor of our show's 6th anniversary. We look back on six years of Hack or Slash history, tackle some burning questions from our audience, and reflect on how we want to grow in the future. In this episode's b-side, we dive into our own thoughts and emotions about hosting the live show, discuss Friday the 13th tattoos, and hear some outtakes from the live show. No spoilers; just great vibes.

We debate the quality of its characters, dissect the craftsmanship of its animatronics, and consider how well the film upholds the legacy of its predecessor. In this episode's b-side, we uncover the unsettling origin tale of Chuck E. Cheese, sift through an article cataloging Chuck E. Cheese's darkest moments, and Sean lets us in on he has handled overly-specific food orders in his past. This episode contains spoilers, beginning at 32:59.

This week we've gathered three generations of hosts to unpack the highly-requested Hereditary (2018). We delve into its jaw-dropping story beats, unravel its depiction of strained family relationships, and dig deep into its nuanced take on mourning. In this episode's b-side, we reflect on the gang finally meeting in person, question the existence of the movie's family dog, and learn Binx can see sound.

This week we're diving into the coffin with the classic Dracula (1931). We ponder its enduring influence on vampire films, delve into Bela Lugosi's path to becoming the iconic Count, and dissect how it deviates from its novel and theatrical roots. In this episode's b-side, we speculate on why Binx might be voiceless, mull over the quantity of Dracula content we've tackled this year, and Kris theorizes that Renfield might've had ulterior motives when visiting Dracula's castle. This episode contains spoilers, beginning at 33:35.

This week we're diving into the twisted world of family ties with Cobweb (2023). We delve into its unnerving depiction of familial dynamics, weigh its impact against the backdrop of modern horror flicks, and consider its box office burial during Barbenheimer. In this episode's b-side, we open up about the fears that haunted our younger years, run down the top 40 childhood terrors and match them with their horror film equivalents, and get weirded out by the uncanny existence of monkey-faced orchids. This episode contains spoilers, beginning at 34:41.

This week we're diving deep into Crystal Lake with Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood (1988). We break down Kane Hodder's inaugural role as Jason, scrutinize the caliber of the film's campy elements, and ponder the possibilities of mixing it up with other horror series. In this episode's b-side, we give Vero a warm Hack or Slash welcome back, take a moment to celebrate six years of the podcast, and reflect on our growth since episode one. This episode contains spoilers, beginning at 43:32.

This week we're diving headfirst into the meta mayhem of Blood Fest (2018). We sift through its hidden horror references, evaluate how well its humor lands, and ponder the chemistry among its cast. In this episode's b-side, we chat about our impending trip to Halloween Horror Nights, reveal the haunted houses that have us buzzing, and mull over which horror film character we'd choose as our Blood Fest survival partner. This episode contains spoilers, beginning at 32:50.

This week Paris returns to help us break down Infinity Pool (2023). We ponder the real underlying message of its plot, compare it to the horror of elder Cronenberg films, and debate the quality of its ending. In this episode's b-side, we consider whether we'd take a clone deal, Kris establish how far is reasonable to go for Mia Goth, and we lament the film's excess use of bodily fluids. This episode contains spoilers, beginning at 27:15.

This week we're diving back into the apocalyptic landscapes of South Korea with Peninsula (2020). We dig into how the film broadens the world established in Train to Busan, scrutinize the similarities between the lead characters of both films, and evaluate the caliber of its CGI. In this episode's b-side, we update our yearly zombie survival strategies, realize that Sean has more in common with Jason Voorhees than initially thought, and debate the potential zombie-evading merits of Heelys.

This week we're buzzing into the visceral thrills of The Fly (1986). We delve into the symbolism behind its gruesome body horror, consider its contrast to the 1958 original, and dissect the chemistry of its cast. In this episode's b-side, we get introspective about an impending podcast achievement, debate what creatures we'd be okay getting spliced with, and chew over Cronenberg's broader filmography. This episode contains spoilers, beginning at 25:42.

This week we're diving into the afterlife with Beetlejuice (1988). We lay out the plans for our 2023 Spooky Season festivities, explore the movie's monumental impact on pop culture, and unpack its unique blend of chills and chuckles. In this episode's free-side, we speculate what Beetlejuice 2 will be like, unearth long-forgotten sequels, and debate which horror legends would square up with Beetlejuice. This episode contains spoilers, beginning at 51:42.

This week the patrons have chosen for us to host a Ladies Night with The Craft (1996). While recognizing its cultural impact, we unpack our own experiences dabbling in the supernatural, the nostalgia of the 90s, and dismantle high school girl-hierarchies and stereotypes. In this episode's b-side, we call our Four Corners to invoke the power of Manon, Ryan struggles to be the voice of reason, and we each ponder the last time we sat on someone's lap. Also, words are very hard. This episode contains spoilers, beginning at 26:21.

This week the patrons have chosen for us to host a Ladies Night with The Craft (1996). While recognizing its cultural impact, we unpack our own experiences dabbling in the supernatural, the nostalgia of the 90s, and dismantle high school girl-hierarchies and stereotypes. In this episode's b-side, we call our Four Corners to invoke the power of Manon, Ryan struggles to be the voice of reason, and we each ponder the last time we sat on someone's lap. Also, words are very hard. This episode contains spoilers, beginning at 26:21.

Playing a group of singles invited to a mysterious weekend getaway, the group works together to solve the mystery of The One. This episode doesn't contain spoilers, but in keeping with modern cinema, the trailer certainly does.

Episode Synopsis

This week the Hack or Slash team breaks down a staff pick: Thir13en Ghosts (2001). The group debates the existence of ghosts, breaks down what's so unlikeable about Matthew Lillard, and looks back fondly on the jump scare video craze of the early 2000's internet. Paris also presents a theory connecting this film to the 90's classic, Matilda (1996). This episode contains spoilers.

Movie Details

IMDB

Title: "Thir13en Ghosts"

Run time: 1h 31m

Release Date: Oct. 26, 2001 (USA)

Mentioned in the Episode

  • The First Born Son: He is the ghost of Billy Michaels, a boy who was a fan of cowboy films. One day, a neighbor found a real steel arrow in his parents' closet. He challenged Billy to a duel, with Billy using a toy gun. However, his plaything was no match for the arrow, and he died when the neighbor shot it through the back of his head. In death, Billy is in his cowboy suit and holding a tomahawk, with the arrow still protruding from his head. His ghost whispers "I want to play".
  • The Torso: He is the ghost of a gambler called Jimmy "The Gambler" Gambino. He spent most of his days on the track, making bets and brainwashed into winning. One day, he made a deal with a rich business man, and so sealed his fate. When he bet heavily on a boxing match and lost, he tried to welsh on his bet and slip out of town. The mob and the winning boxer, to whom he owed money, caught up with Gambino and cut him into several pieces, wrapping them in cellophane and dumping the corpse into the ocean. His ghost is just his torso, trying to walk around on its hands, while his head lies nearby screaming within the cellophane.
  • The Bound Woman: She was a cheerleader named Susan LeGrow, who was born privileged and had a penchant for seducing men and tossing them away. This left a long trail of broken hearts. When her boyfriend found her cheating he strangled her an killed the other boy. He buried her body at the 50-yard line of the local football field. The boyfriend was convicted and sentenced to death; before his execution, he was quoted as saying, "The bitch broke my heart, so I broke her neck." Her ghost is in her prom dress, hanging suspended by the strangling implements with her arms tied behind her back.
  • The Withered Lover: She is Jean Kriticos, Arthur's wife. She was burned severely saving her family from a devastating house fire and later died of her wounds in the hospital. Her ghost initially appears in a hospital gown, hooked up to an IV pole and showing severe burns on her face. Unlike the other ghosts, she is not a vengeful spirit, electing to help her family rather than show malevolence. At the end of the movie, she appears fully healed and in her normal clothing.
  • The Torn Prince: He is the ghost of Royce Clayton, born in 1940 who was a gifted baseball star in high school, albeit with attitude issues and a superiority complex. In 1957 he challenged a greaser named Johnny to a drag race, but was killed as his car spun out of control and flipped over; the cause of the accident was a cut brake line. He was buried in a plot of earth that overlooked the baseball diamond. His ghost carries a baseball bat, and in the background in his cube his wrecked car can be seen. Half of his body is torn to shreds from when he was dragged under the car.
  • The Angry Princess: She is Dana Newman, who did not believe in her own natural beauty. Abusive boyfriends fueled her low self-esteem, which led to much unneeded plastic surgery for imagined defects. Eventually she got a job working for a plastic surgeon, getting paid in treatments rather than cash. Alone at the clinic one night, she tried to perform surgery on herself, but wound up blinding herself in one eye and permanently mutilating herself beyond saving. She committed suicide in the bathtub by slashing her body repeatedly with a butcher knife. When she was found, people noted that she was as beautiful in death as she had been in life. Her ghost is naked, still carrying the knife she killed herself with and showing all the wounds, and the inside walls of her cube are splattered with her blood. In her bathroom scene, the phrase "I'm sorry" is visible on the floor in blood; subtitles also reveal that the blurred, hissing speech that announces her arrival is her whispering "I'm sorry." This was written on her suicide note. When her cube opens, she advances toward Ben Moss, who backs up into an open doorway to get away from her and is killed when it snaps shut on him.
  • The Pilgrimess: She is the ghost of Isabella Smith, an Englishwoman who traveled across the Atlantic and settled in New England during colonial times. She was an outsider to the town she moved into, and this isolated her from the other townsfolk. She was found guilty of witchcraft after livestock began to die mysteriously; when she emerged from a burning barn completely unharmed, she was sentenced to the stocks (pillory) with no food or drink until she died. As a ghost, she is still locked into her stocks.
  • The Great Child and The Dire Mother: They are the ghosts of Margaret and Harold Shelburne. She was an attraction in a carnival due to her being only three feet tall. She was raped by the "Tall Man," another carnival freak. Her son Harold, the Great Child, was born as a result of that rape; he eventually weighed over 300 pounds (136 kg). Harold, spoiled, was raised as his mother's protector and kept a child-like mindset, to the point that he wore diapers his entire life. One day some of the carnival employees decided to play a little practical joke on Harold, and kidnapped his mother. Enraged, he set out to look for her, but when he caught up with the culprits, he found that his mother had accidentally suffocated to death in the bag that she was kept in. Harold killed the kidnappers with an ax, keeping their remains and displaying them for paying customers. Later, when the owner of the carnival found out what Harold had done, he ordered a mob of people to tear Harold apart. Their ghosts are always together, and Harold still wields the ax and wears a bib stained with food that his mother has spoon-fed to him. An alternate version of the story is told in the DVD commentary. It was said that their deaths were caused by the Great Child rolling over on the Dire Mother while asleep, thus suffocating her, then him starving to death.
  • The Hammer: He is the ghost of an African-American blacksmith, George Markley, who lived in a small town in the 1890s. He was wrongfully accused of stealing by a white man from his town, and when threatened with exile, refused to leave town. A gang led by his accuser hung his wife and children and burned their bodies; in revenge, George used his sledgehammer to beat the culprits to death. He was then subjected to a cruel form of frontier justice by the townsfolk, being chained to a tree and executed by having railroad spikes driven into his body with his own sledgehammer. As a final touch,they cut off his hand and attached the sledgehammer - handle and all - to the hand that was cut off. His ghost is seen with the railroad spikes protruding from his body and a sledgehammer for a left hand.
  • The Jackal: He is the ghost of Ryan Kuhn, who was born in 1887 to a prostitute. Ryan had an insatiable lust for women, rape, and murdering prostitutes. Wanting to be cured, he committed himself to Borehamwood Asylum, but after attacking a nurse, he was put in a straitjacket and thrown in a padded room. After years of this imprisonment he went completely insane, scratching at the walls so violently that his fingernails were torn completely off. The doctors kept him permanently bound in his straitjacket, tying it tighter when he acted out, causing his limbs to contort horribly. Still fighting to free himself, Ryan gnawed through the jacket until the doctors finally locked his head in a metal cage and sealed him away in the dark basement cell. There, he grew to hate any kind of human contact, screaming madly and cowering whenever approached. When a fire broke out in the asylum, everyone but Ryan escaped. He chose to stay behind and face the fire. As a ghost, his arms are free from his jacket, and the bars of his cage are ripped outwards, showing tha

Episode Synopsis

This week the Hack or Slash team unpacks Scream 2 (1997), the meta-horror sequel to Wes Craven's 1996 film that sparked a resurgence in the genre. The group compares modern horror with that found in a pre-Columbine, pre-9/11 America, attempts to differentiate their memories of the Scream and Scary Movie franchises, and ponders the reported impacts of film on real-life violence. The group also highlights the absurdity of true crime Halloween costumes, and Paris reveals himself to be the resident astrologist. This episode contains spoilers.
