Forever Midnight

Happy Holidays from your friends at Forever Midnight! We decided to wrap up this year with a special holiday treat: For the last episode of 2019, we chat about the wild, bucking reindeer ride that is the 1989 French holiday horror gem “Dial Code Santa Claus”.  Throwing in some ingredients from Die Hard & Silent Night, Deadly Night, this film stands (home) alone in the sheer insanity of it all. You better think twice before assuming you have seen everything holiday horror has to offer. Join us as we dive into this fake Santa’s bag and sift thru a while lotta crazy! Thank you all for listening this past year and we look forward to some more fun in 2020. Happy Holidays!

Happy holidays, brainiacs! First, we got "Punish"ed, and then, it's was "Garbage Day!". For the third installment of "Silent Night, Deadly Night", lil' Ricky is resurrected once again for "Better Watch Out". Ricky is a little worse for the wear, with his goofy brain now on the outside of his body and inside of a juicy fishbowl. The psychic link he's established with Laura, the beautiful blind teenager, has made her the focus of his murderous attention (for whatever reason). Can Robert Culp and Tony from West Side Story catch Ricky before he kills sweet Laura? Is this a straight fever dream we're experiencing? Join fake director, Uncle Monte and the FM3 to find out. Creepy Christmas, you Cretins!

This week, our poison got picked by one of our top-tier Patrons, and this time, things got extra greasy. The FM3 were shit-scared as they watched and reviewed “The Greasy Strangler” - a cult classic not quite made for anyone! This movie is bonkers, so sit back as your favorite bullshit artists sift through this mind-bending mess-terpiece.

In this episode, sh'boys got to wander down under to the subways and sewers of Jolly Old England and watch a Patreon-pick: 2004’s "Creep". While underground, the FM3 get locked in and take a dip in the stink lagoons, try their hand at amateur surgery and realize public transit is for the birds... or at least for the dogs in birdcages.

In this episode the FM3 finally get to check in on their old pal Danny Torrance. How has he been? What’s he been up to? Does he own that cute little hot dog stand down there in Miami like they always hoped? Does he still see dead people? Is Tony as cool as he looked in the TV version? All these questions and so many more are answered as the boys check out the brand new Stephen King adaptation, Doctor Sleep MD.

In this episode the FM3 travel back in time to when the entire world was just wet and grizzled. While there the boys ran aground and came upon Robert Eggers newest film “The Lighthouse”. So In-between tending to their chores and trying to jerk off mermaids the guys realize they have all lost their minds and are just trying to get back to a place that makes sense and maybe isn’t so soggy. The boys highly suggest you grab a bed pan and some rain boots because this one is dripping and oozing WTF’s?!

Finally, an installation in the Halloween franchise for the internet Generation... it's 2002's Halloween: Resurrection! Jamie Lee is back (for like a minute), plus Tyra Banks and Busta Rhymes awkwardly host our journey. So, if you really wanna party with me, put Forever Midnight where your ears can see, straight Mike Myers in the place to be! To further quote Mr Rhymes, "Trick or treat, motherf*ucker!"

In this episode the FM3 hop in the old midnight rambler and take a drive thru all kinds of topics, stopping off at a few memorable locations such as “hiders in the walls”, Mindhunter, haunted “ass-pennies” and the new Creepshow series. Buckle up and join us for this lumpy bumpy ride!

Just when you thought the 90’s couldn’t get any goofier, along stumbles awkward, ill-fitted, Michael Myers, 20 years older but still none the wiser. He's got murder on his mind and his long-lost fake dead sister Laurie Strode (now living out West) is his number one target. So join the FM3 for the October road trip to end all road trips: Michael Myers is going back to Cali and not even LL Cool J can stop how dumb this shit is gonna get! It's H20... the wettest installment in the franchise!

A member of the honorable Forever Midnight Society has spoken and thus, our fate has been chosen. In this episode, we're back with a Patreon pick from one of our dearest Patrons and the film up for review is a crazy little 2018 gem called "Incident in a Ghostland." ~ Is there a horror movie you’d love to hear us discuss? Become a member of The Forever Midnight Society over at patreon.com/forevermidnight to be able to pick our poison!

What sinister force drew young Susan to the Mausoleum? What ancient abomination was released that windy afternoon? Since we’re asking questions, how did that dude’s head explode, who left Ben the Gardener alone with the lady of the house, and why does a demon kill a grown man with a handheld fork hoe? The real question is “Who gives a shit?”. There’s enough glowing eyes, floating bodies, lumpy demons and naked Bobby Bresee to render 1983’s “Mausoleum” a plotless gem!

'IT' has risen again... and we made a promise to each other that should this day ever come, the FM3 would return to finish IT off. We loved the first chapter. Will we love the 2nd? Only one way know for sure. It’s time for the FM3 to face IT: Chapter 2. 

In this episode the boys finally get to sit down while in Long Beach and talk with the incredibly talented duo that is Little Shop of Gore!! We chat about their horror roots and how their awesome brand came to be. We also take a moment to chat about our first live show at Midsummer Scream and how much fun that whole convention is each year. We had such a great time hanging with Ryan and Salina and hope to have them on again soon!    

The FM3 dive into the film world of "Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark" (2019 - based off the book series of the same name) and for one of the dudes, the experience might have been too real... for he now may have his own scary story to tell! So, will this movie “chill your bones” or is it about as satisfying as chewing on a “big toe”? Only one way to find out! Kill the lights and snuggle up kiddies, as we tackle "Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark". 

The Mystic Museum in Burbank, California is a one-stop-shop for all things occulty, artistic and killer. On September 7th, this ever-growing and expanding hub for vintage oddities, occult artifacts and witchy wear is presenting “The Evil Dead - An Immersive Experience”, which will feature many original Evil Dead props on display for the first time and an Evil Dead-themed art show. The FM3 got to sit down at the Mystic Museum with Proprietors, Kiko and Erick to talk about their humble beginnings, the real ghosts that live in their shop, and this Fall’s upcoming event. Plus, there’s some FM Voicemails. Groovy!

If you’re a fan of the show then you know our love of everything Art The Clown. Finally, the FM3 were able to sit down with actor, David Howard Thornton and learn a little something about the man behind the clown - and it did not disappoint. Honk honk!     

We’re back in the studio for VHS-2 of Stephen King’s “The Shining” - the Mick Garris-directed, made-for-television shit-show starring that flycatching, bowl-cutted nobuddy as Danny and that asshole from ‘Wings’ as Jack Torrance. Maybe something actually happens in the second half of this piece of trash? Probably not. We’re joined again by the homey Shane Goepel, Co-Owner of HenHouse Brewing Company and Drummer in Polar Bears - a legend on two fronts! Also, a true mensch amongst mensches for enduring this full-blown grueller with us. Take your medicine, you pup - it’s Part 2 of… “The Shaning”

Inviting Horror Fan, Musician & Brewer, Shane Goepel to co-host Forever Midnight with us is a celebration of our nearly two decades of friendship, and something the FM3 have wanted to do for a very long time. Not-so-coincidentally, Shane is Co-Owner of HenHouse Brewing Company in Sonoma County, who (as part of their ‘Conspiracy IPA’ series) are releasing a pair of ‘Shining’ themed beers this week: “Kubrick’s Landing”, and its session beer companion, “Hedge Maze.” What better way to really dissect “The Shining” - one of our culture’s most treasured scary stories? Well, a better way would have been to watch the original, but instead, we chose Mick Garris & Stephen King’s made-for-television adaptation of “The Shining” for this epic 2-part episode. So crack a cold one, and join us for the VHS-1 of… “The Shaning.” 

It’s a beautiful, warm, sunny Sommar's day... what could possibly go wrong? Well, we’re about to find out as we tackle Ari Aster’s newest kick to the nuts, ‘Midsommar’ (2019) - a breakup film that promises a lot more push for the tush than your average creepy cult flick.

Here comes round 2 of Listener Voicemail! This time we got tales of Vegas, vomit, boners, brains, and of course more poop. Also featuring “Sloppy Pockets”, and the glorious return of Barry Abernathy aka MC Scary Barry, and a few listener questions get answered as well.
