This week we jumped back to 1998 to cover one that most of us grew up on. There's a killer stalking Pendleton College killing students according to all kind of old Urban Legends. Natalie and her friends realize the pattern, but the killer seems to be targeting them. Can Natalie stay one step ahead of the killings to figure out who it is and why they're doing it? Plus we get to see all kinds of stars from other things looking much younger and more adorable.

Episode 137: Behind the Mask, the Rise of Leslie Vernon

In this episode we tackled a very high brow concept movie. A documentary! You all know the stories of Jason Vorhees, Freddy Krueger, and Michael Myers. In this movie, we follow the documentary filming a new slasher legend as he rises to greatness; Leslie Vernon. It's an extremely interesting take on the genre and even comes with a twist!

Episode 136: Chromeskull: Laid to Rest 2

We had to cover the sequel. Laid to Rest came out of left field as a surprise to us for how great it fit the SlashU formula. So of course we had to watch Part 2. The action picks right up where we left off at the end of Laid to Rest. Believe it or not Chromeskull is alive and he's got Brian Austin Green helping him out. What fun! This time he's out to tie up loose ends from the first movie while continuing his reign of terror, all in a stylish, shiny chrome mask.

Episode 135: Sightseers

We had to try and find a movie that would fit nicely with Valentine's Day happening this week. We went with Sightseers from 2012. It's the story of Chris and Tina who are in love and out on a road trip in their camper around the countryside of jolly old England. But Chris has a bit of a dark side. He doesn't take kindly to disrespect. And when a man who litters finds himself in Chris' crosshairs, it turns out Tina is probably ok with killing too. Who knows where this dysfunctional relationship could go? We do. Because we watched the movie. Twice.

Episode 134: Laid to Rest

It's the premier up Season 8 here at SlashU and we dive right in with a great one. From 2009, we go over "Laid to Rest." It's the story of the mysterious "The Girl" who wakes up in a casket with no memory of who she is or how she got there. She has to quickly get up and get moving because she's being stalked by a determined killer wearing a chrome skull mask on his face. This one is packed with some gruesome practical effects and we loved it. Welcome back for a fresh new season of SlashU!

Episode 133: The Driller Killer

Well we went all the way back to 1979 to end Season 7 of SlashU. What better way to welcome in 2024 than a guy running around killing people with a drill? The story centers around starving artist Reno while he tries to finish his masterpiece painting but also slowly loses his grip on reality (but not his grip on that drill).

Episode 132: Silent Night Deadly Night 4

It's Christmas! The holiday season is all about tradition. And one solid tradition we're sticking to here at SlashU is making sure we watch a Silent Night, Deadly Night movie each year at Christmas time. We've made it all the way to Part 4: Initiation. This one completely abandons Billy and Ricky Caldwell and the killer Santa storyline we've "enjoyed" for the last 3 movies in the series. Instead we follow the story of Kim Levitt, a precocious magazine reporter out to solve a spontaneous combustion story. She ends up tangled up with a coven of witches bent on resurrecting a dead member of their scary club, or something. Plus there are a bunch of cockroaches. And Clint Howard is in it.

Episode 131: Bikini Bloodbath Christmas

We continue the most wonderful time of the year, SlashU-letide with Bikini Bloodbath Christmas. It's the 3rd movie in the Bikini Bloodbath Trilogy. Amazing that someone had the budget for 3 of these movies but they did. Also amazing is that this 72 minute boob-fest needed two directors. Thin on plot but thicc everywhere else, this was an example of why we watch these for you here at SlashU. Follow us on Instagram @SlashU_Podcast Check out the Facebook page too.

Episode 128: Thanksgiving (2023)

It's our freshest episode of SlashU ever! Even if it's posted a few days late, we still wanted to get out a Thanksgiving episode. This one is so fresh it's still in theaters (at the time of recording). We covered Thanksgiving from 2023. It's a brand new slasher flick by Eli Roth. Adapted from a mock movie trailer that showed up in 2007's Grindhouse, this one centers around the small town of Plymouth, MA the birthplace of Thanksgiving. A killer dressed as John Carver is out for revenge after the tragic events of last year's Black Friday shopping mob. Take a seat around the table and listen.

Episode 127: Bloody Moon

This week we stuck to the 1980s but covered one made in Spain. That's right, it's time for SlashU hilarious accents! We watched Bloody Moon. It's the story of a killer stalking women at a Spanish Language Boarding School. Once again, like so many other movies, the killer isn't who they try to get you to think it is; and it's kind of easy to guess. But that doesn't stop the fun!

Episode 126: Night School

This week we jumped back to the 80s, all the way to 1981 because this timer period in the Slasher movie genre is one of the best! We attended Night School (not the one starring Tiffany Haddish). It's the story of an all-women's school in Boston where they just can't seem to stop having beheadings. Yet somehow, classes continue, they don't shut down the school for an investigation or anything despite multiple murders occurring where the women attended the same class. Anyway, check it out!

Steven, Amanda, and Corey try to catch their breath after the horrific events of last night's Halloween Hayride massacre. But old Pitchfork the crazy killer isn't gone.

Episode 124; Hayride

It's the SlashU Halloween episode! We grabbed a low-key low budget one from 2012 called Hayride. It's the classic story of a boy bringing his best girl home to meet his family over the Halloween Holiday. They volunteer to help his Uncle run the local small-town Hayride attraction. But there's a killer on the loose and maybe not all the spooky stuff at the Hayride is part of the show.

Episode 122: Axe Murdering with Hackley

What if all your favorite slasher/horror movie tropes and villains were actually all part of a big corporate business structure? What if all the killers had certain monthly quotas they had to fill, and rules they had to follow? That's what this week's movie tries to explore, but kind of falls flat in the process. We'll talk all about Hackley, a serial killer who's tired of the everyday office grind and just wants to get back to his axe-swinging roots.

At long last, we're back. Just had to take a quick couple weeks off because life happens. But we're back better than ever with a 71 minute movie to go over. It's Aquaslash from 2019. This one has everything that SlashU loves in a cheesy, campy slasher. But it's a slow burn movie with most of the kills all happening at once near the end.
