Ep.13 – ‘Spooky Sucker Punched Special!’
This week on The Punch Up, the chaps chat horror in a slightly late Halloween Sucker Punched special! Leading with David Cronenberg’s classic sci-fi horror, The Fly, legendary accidental comedy, Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors, and the independent straight-to-dvd Irish flick, Isolation, there’s plenty of slasher movie memories, horror history, and talk of whether the genre, despite being as popular as ever, is likely to reinvent itself quality-wise any time soon.
