Minishow Ep. 65 - Murder in Rue Morgue
Wednesday Feb 28, 2024
Wednesday Feb 28, 2024
Mike Flanagan continues to impress us with his knowledge of both the works of Edgar Allan Poe and his knowledge of the man himself.
This week, we’re diving into episode three of Fall of the House of Usher, loosely based on the short story “Murders in Rue Morgue”.
In “Murders in the Rue Morgue”, Edgar Allan Poe introduces the character C. Auguste Dupin, a brilliant detective who uses his analytical skills to solve crimes. The story begins with the brutal murders of Madame L'Espanaye and her daughter Camille in their locked apartment in the Rue Morgue in Paris. The police are baffled by the lack of evidence and the seemingly impossible nature of the crime.
Dupin becomes interested in the case and, using his powers of deduction quickly solves the mystery. He discovers that the murders were committed by an escaped orangutan, which had been trained to perform tricks and had escaped from its owner. Dupin's solution to the crime is based on his careful observation of the evidence and his understanding of human psychology.
Murders in the Rue Morgue is considered one of the first modern detective stories and is widely regarded as a classic of the genre. It established the template for the modern detective story and has been adapted into numerous films and television shows.
Meanwhile, in Flanagan’s loose adaptation, we follow Camille as she tries to uncover the dirty secrets her sister is hiding about her medical research while the rest of the Ushers mourn the loss of their youngest brother.
We’re far from over and the mysteries surrounding the Usher family are beginning to stack.

Saw Retrospective Part 3 - Jeff?
Wednesday Feb 21, 2024
Wednesday Feb 21, 2024
Saw III marks a major shift in the Saw franchise as we see Jigsaw die at the hands of his greatest enemy...Jeff?
This week in our retrospective we’re tackling the third installment of the Saw franchise. Starring Tobin Bell, Shawnee Smith, Angus Macfadyen, Bahar Soomekh, and Dina Meyer. We start this film right where the last one left off with Jigsaw now on his deathbed and Amanda trying to do everything to keep him on this Earth…while being terrible at the one thing he asked her to do.
Saw II was a crowd favorite, so will Saw III live up to the hype?
We also talk about Terrifier 2, our cats, and the mysterious stomach bug working through everyone you know and love.

Real Minishow Ep. 64 - Masque of the Red Death
Wednesday Feb 14, 2024
Wednesday Feb 14, 2024
We won’t lie. The first episode of Fall of the House of Usher didn’t have us sold on the show. It was slow and super expository. However, episode 2? My God, episode 2 is so good!
This week we move forward with Mike Flanagan’s Fall of the House of Usher with The Masque of the Red Death. In Poe’s original short story, we meet young Prince Prospero who decides to throw a party despite the devastating plague happening outside the palace walls. Well, Death has other plans for him as even the wealthy can’t escape him.
And how does Flanagan adapt this famous cautionary tale? By making the masquerade a rave and Prince Prospero a Gen Z with something to prove.

Saw Retrospective Part 1 - Lightning in a Bottle
Wednesday Jan 24, 2024
Wednesday Jan 24, 2024
Twenty years ago, the world was taken by storm by a reverse bear trap, a saw, and a little puppet named Billy. We’re super excited to start our look back at the Saw franchise and discuss the influence it’s had over the horror drama.
This week, we delve into Saw, the directorial debut of horror Daddy James Wan starring Carey Elwes, Leigh Whannell, Danny Glover, and introducing Tobin Bell. We delve into the performances, the work Wan and Whannell had to put in just to get someone to care about the project, and how they caught lightning in a bottle when they premiered at Sundance.

SURPRISE. IT’S A CHRISTMAS SPECIAL (It’s a Wonderful Knife)
Wednesday Dec 20, 2023
Wednesday Dec 20, 2023
Woah! A surprise Christmas Special? What a wonderful treat. And a treat sure is better than a knife. Which happens to be the title of this week’s movie review: It’s a Wonderful Knife.
In this intriguing spin on the classic 1946 Christmas film, "It's a Wonderful Life," the protagonist, Winnie (portrayed by Jane Widdop), embarks on a haunting journey. Contrary to the original storyline, where the lead character recognizes past good deeds, Winnie unravels a startling revelation—her pivotal role in preventing numerous deaths within her town.
Explore the depths of this gripping tale as Real Horrorshow delves into the unsettling narrative, highlighting standout performances and the film's departure from conventional holiday-themed movies.

Real Minishow Ep. 62 - Mild Homoeroticism
Wednesday Dec 06, 2023
Wednesday Dec 06, 2023
The Stormy Skies can’t stop watching Death Note, which means we’ve made it to the final arc of the series. That’s right, with nine episodes left, L is dead, Rem is dead, and Light has done nothing to make him worthy of the adorable and perfect Misa Amane.
There’s also been a slight hiccup with our 2024 plans to do a Saw retrospective. As in, the series is no longer on Shudder. But there’s no need to fear because it’ll probably end up on Peacock. Like every other popular horror franchise these days.
We also touch briefly on the unjust firing of Melissa Barrer from Scream 7 for tweeting the mildest take on the Palestinian Genocide. Which is that Genocide is bad. Because it is bad. Check the links below for ways to support Palestinian families during this crisis.
