After a few weeks of the horror equivalent of junk food (except like, not even good junk food like Doritos, bad junk food like pizza with hot dogs in the crust), we decided to detox with a beautiful horror classic: the 1976 Brian DePalma/Stephen King film "Carrie." Special topics for your consideration include: god's little punishments, concern about John Travolta's basic abilities, the magic of Piper Laurie, prom talk/tuxedo talk and sultry Jesus. 

Can't get enough DePalma? Top off with Episode 13- "Phantom of the Paradise" and Episode 27- "Sisters." Let's not forget about Stephen King! We've discussed a TON of his movies so please just listen to my favorite of our King episodes, Episode 66- "Thinner."

In this week's episode we complete our post-Thanksgiving festivities by getting even more tipsy than we were in the last episode and trying to make lemonade out of this movie. Special topics for your consideration include: the return of mean sex demons!, "Star Wars" explained, Clive Barker's inexplicable fear of puzzles, a brainstorm of some alternate names for the female cenobite and an anatomy lesson from two people who know very very little about anatomy. 

You can hear our hot takes on the original "Hellraiser" (Episode 51), and if that's not enough Clive Barker for you, check out Episode 150- "Midnight Meat Train."

Boy oh boy. In this week's post-holiday haze, we get festively tipsy and discuss one of the worst movies we've ever seen: the 1999 debacle "The Item." This was a listener suggestion from SkyrimRunner and we assume that they hate us. It's free on Youtube... if you dare. Special topics for your consideration include: things for which we are thankful, lots of discussion about 90s culture having nothing to do with this movie, covering topics we have most definitely covered before, pulling no punches about the quality of "The Item" and answering the question on everyone's mind: what's up with Xzibit??

Do you like truly garbage films? The only comparable one I can think of is Episode 156- "Gingerdead Man" so instead, listen to some of our more eccentric films: Episode 25- "The Pit," Episode 35- "Neon Maniacs," Episode 84- "Demons" or Episode 120- "Psychomania." 

And we've still got merch! Email us at werewolfambulance@gmail.com to order your tshirt or koozy (or both!)

You know what they say about being in a hole? When you find yourself there, keep digging until you find another hole with worse acting and less plausible storylines. And that's what we did. Following up on last week's foray into the weird later additions to the "Halloween" franchise, we're talking about the 2002 film "Halloween: Resurrection." Special topics for your consideration include: the academic and romantic careers of a bunko Jon Snow, destroying the world vis a vis Daylight Savings Time, criminally under-using Tyra Banks, whether ad-libbing qualifies as Dangertainment and parsing reality television.

We haven't talked about many reality show-based horror movies (sidenote: are there any good reality show-based horror movies? Let us know!) so I guess just listen to some of my favorites: Episode 104- "I Know Who Killed Me," Episode 108- "The Wicker Man" (remake) and just for fun, Episode 6- "Alucarda."

As the rest of the horror world discusses the brand new "Halloween" film, we're going back to a simpler time, a dumber time: the 1990s. This week we're talking about the 1998 installment in the franchise, "Halloween H20." Hoo boy. Special topics for your consideration include: Josh Hartnett, Josh Hartnett's hair, LL Cool J, LL Cool J's luminous skin, the looks of the 90s, a lack of teen murder, what life in your mid-30s is supposed to look like and a brand new nickname for Katie.

Live from Pittsburgh, it's a Werewolf Ambulance show! We're discussing the 1986 bananas monster/sci-fi/horror film "Terrorvision." Because this episode was recorded live, the sound quality is what you'd expect from a live show. Big thanks to our pal Dan B. for managing all our AV stuff! Special topics for your consideration include: oh my god we're so nervous and also we are drinking, the pleasure dome, gaps in your teeth, scab monsters, the expectations that we have of Charles Band, the game "Band or Band?" and hiring teens to do things. 

Thanks to everyone who came out for the show, and thanks in general to all of you who have supported us over the years. We are genuinely touched by your kindness.
