This week on Friday Night Frightfest, we’re exploring the terrifying concept of alien parasites with two sci-fi horror classics: Lifeforce (1985) and Species (1995).

Lifeforce (1985)
Directed by Tobe Hooper, Lifeforce tells the story of a space mission to Halley’s Comet that unearths a terrifying alien species that feeds on human life energy. When the aliens arrive on Earth, they unleash a wave of chaos and terror, leaving a trail of drained and lifeless victims in their wake.

Species (1995)
Directed by Roger Donaldson, Species explores the arrival of a genetically engineered alien on Earth. This seductive and deadly creature seeks a mate to continue its species, and it quickly becomes apparent that she poses a significant threat to human existence.

Join us as we dissect these two iconic sci-fi horrors, discussing their special effects, their exploration of alien sexuality, and their enduring impact on the genre. We’ll also delve into the social and cultural anxieties reflected in these films, such as the fear of the unknown and the dangers of scientific tampering.

Spoilers Start around 7:10.

Final Destination - 1 and 2 25:22

منذ 5 أيام25:22

25:22

This week on Friday Night Frightfest , we’re tempting fate and dodging elaborate death traps as we look at the beginnings of a beloved horror franchise! In anticipation of the highly anticipated new film, Final Destination: Bloodlines , we’re going back to where it all began, comparing the terrifying ingenuity of Final Destination (2000) and its thrilling sequel, Final Destination 2 (2003). Final Destination (2000) Directed by James Wong, the original Final Destination introduces us to Alex Browning, who has a premonition of a catastrophic plane crash and, along with a handful of others, manages to cheat death. But Death, as they soon learn, doesn’t like to be cheated. What follows is a relentlessly suspenseful and inventive series of “accidents” as Death comes to claim its due, showcasing Rube Goldberg-esque kills that became the franchise’s trademark. Final Destination 2 (2003) Directed by David R. Ellis, Final Destination 2 escalates the stakes with a truly unforgettable opening highway pile-up. Kimberly Corman has a vision of this horrific event and saves herself and several strangers. However, they soon discover they’ve merely placed themselves at the top of Death’s new list. This sequel famously expands on the rules of Death’s design and offers even more elaborate and shocking sequences of unfortunate demises. Join us as we discuss these first two films in the series. If you don’t have time to watch them yourself before seeing Final Destination: Bloodlines, this episode offers a good synopsis of the films. We discuss how they established the franchise’s unique blend of supernatural horror and inventive practical effects, and what makes each of these early entries so enduringly terrifying. Prepare for a grim reminder that you can’t escape your destiny! Spoilers Start around 4:27.…

Stuck in a Loop - Happy Death Day vs. Source Code (Replay!) 28:45

منذ 5 weeks28:45

28:45

This week on Friday Night Frightfest , we’re revisiting an episode about the terrifying and sometimes darkly comedic world of time loops! With the recent release of the Until Dawn , we thought it was the perfect time to dust off this classic comparison between two fantastic films that trap their protagonists in a recurring nightmare: Happy Death Day (2017) and Source Code (2011). Happy Death Day (2017) Directed by Christopher Landon, Happy Death Day puts a slasher twist on the time loop concept. College student Tree Gelbman finds herself reliving the day of her murder over and over again. To break the loop, she must figure out who her killer is and stop them, all while navigating the increasingly bizarre and dangerous repetitions of her final day. It’s a clever blend of horror, comedy, and mystery with a charismatic lead performance. Source Code (2011) Directed by Duncan Jones, Source Code takes a more sci-fi thriller approach to the time loop. Captain Colter Stevens, a helicopter pilot, wakes up in the body of an unknown man on a commuter train moments before it explodes. He’s part of a top-secret program that allows him to inhabit the last few minutes of a person’s life to gather information and prevent future terrorist attacks. Each jump back offers new clues and increasingly complex moral dilemmas. Tune in for a repeat dose of temporal terror!…

Species II and III 32:16

This week on Friday Night Frightfest , we’re revisiting the terrifying world of alien seduction and deadly offspring! We’ll be comparing the second and third installments in the Species franchise: Species II (1998) and Species III (2004). Species II (1998) Directed by Peter Medak, Species II picks up where the original left off. This time, the alien DNA has returned to Earth via a manned mission to Mars. When the astronaut infected with the alien pathogen begins a violent and rapid evolution, a new, even more dangerous alien threat emerges, focused on procreation and domination. Species III (2004) Directed by Brad Turner, Species III takes a slightly different approach. It focuses on Sara, the human/alien hybrid daughter of Eve (from the first two films). As Sara matures, she grapples with her alien instincts while scientists attempt to understand and control her unique biology. This installment explores themes of nature versus nurture and the potential for hybrid existence. Join us as we delve into the evolutionary horrors of the Species sequels. We’ll discuss how each film expands upon the original’s themes of alien biology and sexual predation, analyze their creature designs and special effects, and debate which sequel offers the more compelling and terrifying vision of alien infiltration.

This week on Friday Night Frightfest , we’re diving into the late-stage slasher sequels, comparing two sixth entries that took their respective franchises in wildly different directions. We’re pitting Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives (1986) against A Nightmare on Elm Street 6: Freddy’s Dead: The Final Nightmare (1991). Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives (1986) Directed by Tom McLoughlin, Jason Lives marks a significant shift for the Friday the 13th series. After a brief hiatus, Jason returns, but this time, he’s a resurrected, supernatural force of nature. This entry leans heavily into self-aware humor and action-oriented set pieces, giving us a more playful, albeit still violent, take on the iconic killer. A Nightmare on Elm Street 6: Freddy’s Dead: The Final Nightmare (1991) Directed by Rachel Talalay, Freddy’s Dead attempts to wrap up the Nightmare on Elm Street saga with a surreal and cartoonish finale. This film delves into Freddy’s origins, revealing his childhood and the source of his evil. It’s known for its over-the-top special effects, bizarre dream sequences, and a generally more comedic tone than previous entries.
