The Toolbox Murders

Join us in this latest episode of Two Guys in a Chainsaw as we dive deep into the grindhouse horror classic, ‘The Toolbox Murders’. Returning from ‘In Space Month’, Todd and Craig go back to Earth and back in time to the raw exploitative cinema of the 70s. We discuss the iconic VHS cover, Stephen King’s surprising endorsement, and the film’s brutal and sleazy content that only 70s grindhouse could deliver.

Listen as we break down the plot, the over-the-top kills, the bizarre character moments, and the lasting impact of this unsettling flick. If you appreciate raw, low budget horror fare or are curious about the shocking twists and turns of this vintage slasher, this episode is a must-listen. Don’t forget to share your thoughts and requests for future episodes!

Jason X

Is this the best Friday the 13th film ever? Craig seems to think so. We discuss the film’s blend of sci-fi and horror, its unique setting, memorable kills, and the transformation of Jason into Uber Jason. With behind-the-scenes insights and a comparison to the other cosmic horror films we covered this month, we’re gonna explore why ‘Jason X’ stands out in the Friday the 13th franchise – and among “in space” franchise entries in general. Check it out!

A group of eerie, otherworldly characters with distorted features stand in a dimly lit setting. The central figure has pins in its head, and others have elongated faces or unusual headgear, all wearing dark, detailed clothing. The mood is sinister and surreal. 0

Hellraiser: Bloodline

Todd, who is less familiar with the Hellraiser franchise, and Craig, who has seen more of the movies, discuss the unique elements that set this film apart from typical horror settings. We both found the film surprisingly enjoyable despite its poor initial reception. We loved its coherence, special effects, and performances, especially Doug Bradley’s extensive monologuing as Priest of Hell Pinhead.

Leprechaun 4: In Space

‘Leprechaun 4: In Space.’ has a ridiculous plot, terrible CGI, and over-the-top performances that make this fourth installment in the Leprechaun series a memorable, albeit flawed, film.

From the unexpected genesis of the movie inspired by an Apollo 13 poster to the bizarre antics of the leprechaun IN SPACE, we cover the highs, lows, and the infamous Mitten Spider transformation. Hear for yourself what we thought of the second film in our “in space” series this month!

A small, menacing creature with red eyes and sharp teeth stands in a dimly lit space, partially obscured by a vent-like structure. Its dark, furry body contrasts with the light filtering through the perforated surface. 0

Critters 4

This month’s theme: Horror franchises “In SPACE”. As we reminisce about the origins of the Critters franchise, comparing it to its contemporaries like Gremlins and Ghoulies, we also puzzle over this entry’s plot, performances, and oddly serious tone. Why is Terrence Mann’s character suddenly a jerk? And where the f*ck did all the critters go? Listen as we highlight standout performances from surprising actors like Brad Dourif and Angela Bassett (?!) in this low-budget sequel. Despite its shortcomings, we hope you find this a hilarious and engaging review perfect for fans of horror franchises that go TO SPACE!

In a dimly lit room, echoing the tense atmosphere of a hospital massacre, two men stand face-to-face—one with a handgun aimed at the other's throat. The gunman's serious expression contrasts sharply with the other’s slight head tilt, set against wooden elements and a blurred window. 0

Swallowed

It’s not often you find something unique in the world of horror. Swallowed gave Mark Patton (star of Nightmare on Elm Street 2) a chance to be himself on the silver screen as a gay drug dealer trying to recover his horrifying cargo from the bodies of two young men coerced into smuggling it across the border. Full of uncomfortable tension and frankly excellent performances, Swallowed gave us a lot to talk about and a lot to love. We’re happy to add it to our short but growing list of queer-themed horror we’ve covered on the podcast thus far. Enjoy!
