We even played a big prank on everyone for this episode! A group of college friends staying at an island mansion get picked off one by one by an unseen threat. However, at the end of the day, nothing is as it seems. The group is pretty big on playing pranks on each other. Check out our class on this classic and let us know wha you think!

This week we were joined by friend of the show and horror/suspense/sci-fi author Joe Prosit. Joe sat down with us to dissect "Attack of the Killer Donuts" from 2016. It's the story of Johnny and Michelle, working at their dead-end donut shop job. But a science experiment mishap causes dozens of the donuts to come to life as bloodthirsty little monsters. The donut shop''s only employees have to save the day before all of their paying customers get eaten.

Original Air Date: 9/12/2020 This week we go WAY back to the very beginning of SlashU to re-visit one of our first few episodes. The sound quality wasn't as good but the laughter is still genuine. We're re-visiting "Killer Workout" also known as "Aerobicide." It's the story of Rhonda's place, a gym where all the beautiful people go to get buff. But someone's talking the gym members and killing them in brutal ways. And for some reason the gym stays open, not an active crime scene at all. We broke it all down back in 2020 so take our class again and learn something!

Well this week we covered one that's not exactly a slasher movie. But it's been recommended a bunch of times by people we meet and talk to about horror/slashers. Apparently this is a cult classic. The story centers around a group of college students who break into a bowling alley as part of a sorority initiation. They steal a bowling trophy, but it breaks open and a mischevious Imp pops out and offers to grant them each one wish. And in typical magical-creature-grants-your-wishes fashion, it all goes horribly wrong. Listen, tell your friends, and enjoy!

Original Air Date: 5/22/2023 On this episode of SlashU Held Back we're re-visiting "Sweatshop" from 2009. We talk about this movie a LOT on SlashU because it was one of those that came out of nowhere and really surprised us. The plot/acting isn't great, but it's a low budget slasher movie so what do you expect? But the effects were outstanding and the brutality of the slasher really stands out compared to other lesser known movies we've seen. It's the story of a group of glow-stick loving ravers who break into an abandoned factory to hold a huge rave. But The Beast already lives there. And he doesn't take too kindly to anyone breaking in. With his welding mask and giant foundry hammer, he stalks the ravers, violently ending their party. Leave a review, tell a friend, and enjoy!

Yes. You are reading that correctly. It's not a typo. This week's movie is called "Ted Bunny" from 2026. Happy Easter! It's the story of documentary filmmaker Sasha. She's trying to make a Ted Bundy documentary where she interviews a never-before-seen victim of the notorious serial killer. So we meet Catherine (Dee Wallace). But not only was Catherine a victim of Ted Bundy, she birthed his deformed rabbit-obsessed child, Ted Jr. The documentary crew finds more than they signed up for and Ted gets loose to wreak havoc on the countryside.

Original Air Date: 10/17/2022 On this week's episode of SlashU Held Back we revisit Season 5, Episode 86 of SlashU where we covered "Frankenhooker." It's a cult classic that's been enjoyed by countless horror fans for years! The story centers around Jeffery who tries to resurrect his recently deceased girlfriend by stitching together the body parts of dead hookers. Because that's totally a thing that would work. This movie has everything, including Super Crack! Listen, tell a friend, and enjoy the show!

This week we covered a movie that we thought was a slasher at first, because it takes place at a Summer Camp and there's a "Doctor" stalking the kids dressed up like a high tech beekeeper. But it's not a slasher. It's a sci-fi thriller that has a cool twist ending. We spoil the whole movie so don't listen until you've watched it unless you're ok with spoilers! The story centers around a young boy named Morgan. It's his first summer at camp. But he has trouble fitting in. For starters, he's just at an awkward young age. But what doesn't help is that Morgan almost drowned not too long ago, so he has a lasting fear of water; something that won't be too popular at Summer Camp. Listen, tell a friend, and enjoy!

We're back with Part 2 of our episode covering "Mutilator 2" from 2023. Our friend Colby from "Colby Does Horror" joins us again to finish the second half of this "amazing" sequel. In this part, the kills really start to ramp up as the cast and crew of the "Mutilator" remake try to enjoy their wrap party. It's painfully obvious who the killer is. And we just had fun picking apart the effects and the campy acting. Plus we went off on several tangents of our own.

This week we have a special guest in studio joining us to cover "Mutilator 2" from 2023. It's Colby, from @Colby_does_horror. Find links to Colby's stuff below. We spent a lot of time off-topic this week, which is why we split the episode into two parts. We definitely made it through the movie. It was tough, because it's not a great movie. The story follows the film crew shooting a sequel to the 1984 cult classic "The Mutilator." At the wrap party, someone's killing off members of the cast and crew and it's extremely obvious who it is right away. But the FX are great and we had fun joking around with our special guest.

We had to depart from our regularly scheduled podcast this week due to a scheduling conflict. Instead we went to the theater and covered a new release! It's "Scream 7" from 2026. This time it's a family affair when Ghostface comes for Sidney and her family. Why? Well, you'll have to listen to our reactions about that and decide for yourself if it's worth the watch. But as we always say, if you like the genre, you have to check it out. And if you've been a 30-year fan of the Scream franchise, then you can't miss this chapter!

This week we covered "The Greasy Strangler" from 2016. Sometimes you come upon a slasher movie that's just so strange, it's hard to put into words. But somehow we managed to do it, and even talked about it for an hour. The story centers around Big Brayden and his father Big Ronnie. Together, they run a Disco Walking Tour. When both of them fall for the same woman, it sparks a rivalry between the two men. At the same time, a killer covered in grease starts menacing the town, strangling anyone who gets in his way. Also, there's tons of nudity.

We're back for a Valentine's Day episode. We covered "Heart Eyes" from 2025. What a delightful little comedy/slasher movie! When Jay and Ally are forced to work together to save a failing ad campaign for jewelry, they end up getting stalked by a masked killer who targets couples in love. Can they survive Valentine's Day trying to convince the killer they're not actually a couple but at the same time falling for each other? Yeah, probably. And we talked all about it. A couple things in the movie didn't quite make sense, but hey, that's what slasher movies do! Don't blame us! Enjoy and tell a friend!
