John Carpenter's The Thing (1982)

Happy Birthday To Me 1981 vol 1 (w/ Anya Stanley): Light the candles and cut the cake! If you made a wish that Kill By Kill drop a special episode, then it’s about to come true! For our Birthday-slash-Podversary, Gena & Patrick are unpacking all the gory details of 1981’s Happy Birthday To Me with the help of writer-at-large for birthmoviesdeath & Fangoria, Anya Stanley (@bookishplinko). We ask big questions, like “Is this French Motocross perv a vampire?” and “Why does this character store her shears inside of a mini-coffin?” We also tackle the very idea of over stitched underwear, debate whether Genesis is appropriate bathing music and consider the possibility that Glenn Ford is rocking a “coke nail” to pair with his Disco medallion. All this and we unwrap a new edition of Choose Your Own Death-venture! Canuxploitation is the gift that keeps on giving!! by Kill By Kill: Talking Horror Characters One Death At A Time

Friday the 13th (1980) vol 1: Thank Jason It’s Friday! This is the first episode of Kill By Kill, where Patrick Hamilton and Gena Radcliffe will unpack all the gory details of horror cinema’s least appreciated element: the characters! And we’re starting with the 1980 slasher classic, Friday the 13th! Our mission is to make it all the way through the entire Friday franchise, one hack, slash and decapitation at a time, since every camper’s untimely end is just the beginning of the jokes we’ll make about them. This week, we talk about our own personal introductions to the Friday franchise before delving into the original film’s cold open (and hot encounter) between Barry & Claudette way back in 1958. The raw sexuality of folk songs, practicalities of dry humping and empty cardboard box throwing accuracy are all on the table before we end with a rousing game of “Would You Rather?” Never fear - new episodes of Kill By Kill are made available every other Friday!
