  • Scream: Everything You Didn't Know
    Oct 31 2024

    The TMI Guys dive deep on the meta '90s horror classic that did for cordless phones with 'Psycho' did for showers. You'll learn all about the secret story Drew Barrymore told herself to summon real tears during the iconic opening scene (which was originally written as a one act play!), the surprising early choices for the part of Sidney Prescott, the controversial origins of the Ghostface mask, and all the ways director Wes Craven and writer Kevin Williamson broke new ground with their cast of terrorizing teens.

  • FROM THE VAULT: "The Monster Mash" by Bobby "Boris" Pickett: Everything You Didn't Know
    Oct 23 2024

    Alex and Jordan continue their TMI Halloween Spooktacular celebration by delving into the creation of this deathless novelty number that pays tribute to the golden age of monster movies. You'll learn about the wildly prolific (and possibly legally insane) producer behind the track, its tentative ties to James Brown, the early '60s pop royalty who sang on it, and Bobby Pickett's dogged attempts to continually update his song with the times. They'll also talk about Elvis' burning hatred of "The Monster Mash," and a brief history of novelty dance crazes and the evolution of the horror genre.

  • Tales from the Crypt: Everything You Didn't Know
    Oct 14 2024

    Gore-dan and HELL-ex take a dive into the musty vaults of the early '90s to unearth the SLASHinating facts behind "Tales From the Crypt," arguably the scariest thing to come out of Joel Silver's career, except for all the things that haven't been unsealed! [incredibly irritating high-pitched laugh] But yes, that's right BOILs and GHOULS, they're looking into the HBO phenomenon that turned a desiccated corpse with a Borscht Belt sensibility into a household name -- and no, we're not talking about Don Rickles!

    Your pals of putrescence dive into the history of EC Comics, the trailblazing comics label that provided the source material, the weird German guy (not that one) who killed them off, and the wave of nostalgia that carried four of Hollywood's biggest power players in the '80s and '90s to create a well-funded, creatively free long-running project that everyone was excited to be a part of!

    They'll tackle the positively insane guest list cast, the weird spin-offs, how much Dennis Miller sucks, and other spooooooooky things like budgets and Nielsen ratings! It's Boo MuLCH InfoSLAYtion: Spooky month!
