It's our first time back in-studio for a recording in what feels like ages. And so sorry we picked kind of a dud of a movie to cover. It's "Cheater Cheater" from 2024. It's the story of Joesph Givens, who returns to his hometown after getting his life together and sobering up over the last 5 years. But Joe's past also returns to catch up to him. After 5 random killings rocked the town 5 years ago, now that Joe's back, the killing starts up again. And the killer is wearing a creepy pumpkin mask. That's the only reason we picked this movie to cover during the Halloween season. Listen and try to enjoy! We watched it for you!

Welcome to Season 11 of SlashU! We've made it back to you after a September break. And to kick off both our new season and the Spooky Season, we covered "Haunt Season" from 2024. The story centers around Matilda, a new hire at a seasonal haunted house. While Matilda learns the ropes of scaring people, she grapples with what she's going to do next in her life. Should she pursue an acting career in Los Angeles? But it's scary moving to a whole new city and taking that chance! It's a good thing that for now, all she has to do is focus on surviving the Halloween season. Because someone's stalking and murdering other actors in the haunted house. Can Matilda and her friends find out who it is before it's too late? Plus we sat down with writer/director of "Haunt Season;" Jake Jarvi. He was kind enough to talk to us about the making of the film along with some of his favorite things about horror. Listen, enjoy, tell a friend and welcome back to SlashU!

This week we sat down with Wisconsin horror author and all-around nice guy DJ Slater. DJ has a horror novel coming out September 16th, 2025 called Legend Has it. Full details about the book and all information about DJ can be found at DJSlaterAuthor.com.

The story sounds like a great one:

"Seth and his friends have always heard about a legendary 10-story haunted house that travels around the Midwest every October. It's one of those haunted houses that really pushes the limits. You even have to sign a waiver! But is this traveling haunted house just an urban legend? Well, maybe. But then how do Seth and his friends wind up on its doorstep? And what horrors will they discover inside?"

We talked to DJ about his writing process, his love of the horror genre, and living in Wisconsin. Take a listen and check out his book when it drops on September 16th, 2025.

This week we covered our second movie in our annual Shark Week departure. It's "Sky Sharks" from 2020. This one has a bit of everything; Nazi's, Zombies, and Flying Sharks. As a result, it's kind of all over the place. But in a shorter-than-usual episode we managed to cover the major plot points. This movie has so much stuff and people in it that don't really matter, it's sometimes hard to follow. Climate change has melted a glacier in the Arctic enough to expose an old Nazi warship that was frozen in the ice. The thaw-out jump started some old Zombie and flying shark experiments that the Nazis had conducted near the end of World War II. As a result, the Sky Sharks are set loose to terrorize the skies. Can the fine folks at Richter Technologies stop them in time? Maybe. Listen to our breakdown!

Welcome to another Shark Week here at SlashU. Every year we pick a couple of cheesy, campy shark movies to cover, deviating from our usual slasher movie format. This week's movie is one of the "best" we've ever covered here for a shark week. During the Cold War era, Russian scientists created human-shark hybrids capable of living in extremely harsh conditions, and then shot them all to the far side of the moon. Now, in present day, a group of American astronauts en route to the moon for their own environmental and green energy experiments, find themselves way off course and running for their lives against the shark threat. Join us as we pick apart this "masterpiece" of shark-themed cinema.

Well we've come to the end of our Summer Camp Slasher Series here at SlashU. This week we covered "Bloody Summer Camp" from 2021. And we figured to end the summer camp theme we would pick one of the longest movies we've ever covered here on the podcast. This one sits at a mighty 2 hours and 5 minutes! But with so much time in the movie and so many characters on screen, the body count is high in this one. It's the story of the counselors at Camp Trustfall getting ready to welcome the campers for another summer. But a killer in a black devil mask is on the loose and no one knows who it is! This one stars our friends Felissa Rose and Dave Sheridan. So climb down off your camp zip line and listen!

On this week's episode we continue our Summer Camp Slasher Series with "She Came from the Woods" from 2022. This one is a supernatural slasher movie, which we do not often touch on here at SlashU. But we thought it would be fun to cover it for our summer camp focus. Boy, what a great decision that turned out to be! This one is fun from start to finish. As Camp Briarbrook closes up for the summer and the campers go home, the counselors throw one last big party. They get together and perform an annual silly ritual to summon the ghost of Nurse Agatha, who terrorized the camp over 40 years ago. But it turns out the stories about Nurse Agatha are true! She ends up being summoned by their ritual and proceeds to pick off our counselors one by one in an attempt to gain immortal life. Great effects, characters that you love to hate, and a story that zips along so fast you can't even tell it's an hour and forty plus movie. Of course, we found the cheesiest, campiest stuff to focus in on and had a blast talking about it. Enjoy!
