HAPPY HALLOWEEN NOSTALJUNKIES! One of the biggest and most enduring shows of all-time, THE SIMPSONS, not only influenced our love for dysfunction, but their beloved Halloween Specials (Treehouse of Horror) are to Halloween what Hallmark movies, in PJs, with gentle sobbing are to Christmas.
Treehouse of Horror, also known as The Simpsons Halloween Specials, is a series of Halloween-themed episodes of the animated sitcom The Simpsons, each consisting of three separate, self-contained segments. These segments usually involve the Simpson family in some horror, science fiction, or supernatural setting. They take place outside the show's normal continuity and completely abandon any pretense of being realistic, being known for their far more violent and much darker nature than an average Simpsons episode. The first, entitled "Treehouse of Horror", aired on October 25, 1990, as part of the second season and was inspired by EC Comics horror tales. Since then, there have been 32 other Treehouse of Horror episodes, with one airing every year.
Which ones are your favorite?

Okay. School memories may not be positive for everyone, but some of us partied like it was 1999: listening to Limp Bizkit, wearing baggy pants, frosted tips, and flipping the Stone Cold Steve Austin bird until it lost its meaning. And what better way to celebrate the iconic School-Age growing pains, than with a list of our favorite School Movies!
We don't only discuss getting high and passing tests, losing your virginity, crushing hard on your Second Grade French teacher, or even getting frisky with a pie; we chat the nostalgia of graduating, partying, "coffee houses", and more!
We break-down our faves with our most nostalgic memories from those movies, but Matt features--of course--horror-based double-features to keep our October vibes high...

"I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask you to leave" . . . Paul Donovan's 1983 action-thriller SIEGE--aka SELF DEFENSE, aka NIGHT WARRIORS, aka NEW YORK 1991--is inspired by the real-life Halifax Police Strike of 1981. The film features a lawless city, terrorized by a group of proud-boys, who target and kill the patrons of a LGBT club. One of the patrons escapes and finds refuge in the safety in the company Horatio (Tom Nardini) and his crew, who are willing to fight back. Rooftop chase scenes, shootouts, explosions, chaos, panic and Trailer Park Boys' Philadelphia "Phil" Collins (aka Rosie). This movie is a wild ride, do not sleep on this one!

This week is a real banger ... METALSPLOITATION! This is traditionally where heavy metal music appears, not only as the soundtrack, but is integral to the movie and characters' storylines. We discuss the history of where metal gets it "scary" from, and dive into the commonalities the two subcultures possess (no pun intended); and of course, list the most notable metalsploitation movies.
Craven Thrash: Which of Metallica's albums coincide with Wes Craven's movies?
Deathtracks: Even without being a part of the storyline, metal music has home with horror movie soundtracks.

We would like to call this concept a RETROSYNC, where something new aligns with something nostalgic. After just watching Prano Bailey-Bond's debut film CENSOR, starring Niamh Algar--which is centered around the main character Enid Baines, who works as a film censor during The Video Nasties craze of the 80s Britain--this led us to thinking about what are our favorite Video Nasties to list and discuss?
Counter-Intuitive: Mary Whitehouse and conservative mindsets told what we shouldn't watch... aka our favorite movies!

https://www.podpage.com/nostaljunkpod/scariestchildhoodmoments/
Some might call it "kinder trauma", but deep in the recesses of all of our minds exists a library of fear, terror and often traumatic TV and movie memories. It could be a split second, but if you still remember how badly it scared you, there's a good chance you're still afraid of it!
We rank our top scariest moments from our childhood TV and movie memories. Some of our selections are typical, but some are questionable--how did that scare you?
Faces and Lighting: Matt still has a problem (or love affair) with the looks on faces and the lighting to enhance to horror.
It's As Bad As You Thought: Which is what Kyle has branded his brand of paralyzing feartainment.

TOP HORROR MOVIES OF 1980 https://www.podpage.com/nostaljunkpod/TopHorrorMovies1980/
We rank our Top Horror Movies of 1980, and also discuss some hidden gems you may have forgotten about! We almost align ourselves with our Top 5 list, but one slasher hacked their way into the Number 2 spot on Matt's list—Kyle just doesn't have a nostalgic attachment to this one like Matt does.
Critical of Critics: Critics are influences, and can potentially persuade you to adjust your love for your own nostalgia. Your nostalgia doesn't have to be a universally revered entry, it just has to be yours.
Slasher Craze: In 1978, John Carpenter rolled a massive financial ball to Hollywood with his massive—and beloved—independent hit Halloween. In 1980, a mainstream tribute preyed on youth in the woods and ushered in the New Wave of Slashers.
