  • My Bloody Valentine (1981) with special guest Pickens Barringer
    Feb 12 2025

    "Roses are red, violets are blue, one is dead and so are you"


    Love is in the air… and so is the sound of a pickaxe swinging. In this episode, we’re diving into the cult classic My Bloody Valentine (1981), the slasher that gave Valentine’s Day a terrifying twist. From its gory kills to its eerie mining town setting, we’ll explore what makes this Canadian horror flick a standout in the golden age of slashers. Was Harry Warden the ultimate holiday horror villain? How did censorship impact the film’s legacy? And why does this movie still hold a special place in horror fans’ hearts over 40 years later?


    Grab your heart-shaped candy (or lock the doors), and join us for a deep dive into My Bloody Valentine!
