1983 // Directed by Robert Hiltzik // Starring Felissa Rosa and Karen Fields

This week, Bring Me The Axe! heads to Camp Arawak to explore one of slasher history's most unhinged entries, Sleepaway Camp. Be advised, we spoil the twist ending that we spoil right from the get-go.

1981 // Directed by Joe Giannone // Starring Gaylen Ross and Tony Nunziata

This week Bring Me The Axe takes a look at 1981's Madman, a truly weird entry into the early 80's slasher canon. A cast of pleasant camp counselors at Thanksgiving Gifted Camp face off against an axe murderer.

1975 // Directed by Steven Spielberg // Starring Roy Scheider and Richard Dreyfus

It's a holiday bonus episode for July 4th! Celebrating Steven Spielberg's landmark accomplishment and one of the all-time greatest movies, Jaws!

1932 // Directed by James Whale // Starring Boris Karloff and Ernest Thesiger

Bring Me The Axe closes out their Pride 2023 series with an enthusiastic love letter to James Whale's 1932 pre-code classic for Universal, The Old Dark House.

1986 // Directed by Richard Wenk // Starring Chris Makepeace and Grace Jones

Bring Me The Axe kicks off its Pride 2023 series with a mostly unremarkable movie that remains in the horror movie memory thanks entirely to contributions from gay artists, the 1986 horror comedy Vamp.

1982 // Directed by Mark Rosman // Starring Mark Rosman and Eileen Davidson

Bryan and Dave close out their School's Out series, taking a look at the 1982 slasher picture, The House on Sorority Row, from director Mark Rosman, a hidden gem of the genre that remarkably passes the Bechdel Test.

1981 // Directed by Jimmy Huston // Starring Cecile Bagdadi and Joel S. Rice

Bryan and Dave take a look at the 1981 slasher also-ran, Final Exam, a movie that should be stuffed down the horror movie memory hole were it not for its one secret weapon, a weirdo nerd character named Radish and his ongoing series of bizarre bon mots.

1981 // Directed by Joe Dante // Starring Dee Wallace and Patrick MacNee

Bryan and Dave break down one of the four werewolf movies released in 1981, Joe Dante's iconic The Howling. It's a wild ride made notable by its awesome special effects and dark comedic tone.

1977 // Directed by Michael Winner // Starring Cristina Raines and Chris Sarandon

Bryan and Dave take a look at 1977's The Sentinel. Ostensibly the most Catholic horror movie ever made, it's also about as paranoid as a horror movie can be. One damned soul, alone must stand watch over the gateway to Hell and Alison Parker is next in line.

1980 // Directed by William Lustig // Starring Joe Spinell and Caroline Munro

This week Bryan and Dave take a look at William Lustig's 1980 roughie, Maniac, starring Joe Spinell and Caroline Munro. Bryan also goes off on a long tangent about the time he met Tom Savini and how it haunted Savini for years.

1982 // Directed by Juan Piquer Simon // Starring Christopher George and Linda Day George

This week, Bryan and Dave take a look at the utterly deranged 1982 slasher picture, Pieces. This one has it all: Chainsaws, gratuitous nudity, buckets of blood, hysterical screaming, and THRILLING TENNIS ACTION! "It's exactly what you think it is."

1982 // Directed by William Asher // Starring Susan Tyrell and Jimmy McNichol

Campy doesn't even begin to cover this one. In what is becoming a disturbing trend at Bring Me The Axe, it's another story about inappropriate family love and the extent that a parent will go to keep their son close to them.
