Welcome back to Summer Slash 7—where cult slashers, horror deep cuts, and wild movie news collide. This week, Johnny Spoiler dives into the 1976 cult horror oddity Drive-In Massacre, the low-budget slasher where a sword-wielding killer stalks couples at a California drive-in theater. Shot without permits, written in a week, and featuring Germy the carnival geek, this grindhouse flick is as bizarre behind the scenes as it is on-screen.
But first, buckle up for a chaotic Frontier Airlines story that feels straight out of a sitcom (yes, soup on a plane is involved). Then it’s Home Video Headlines:
Nicolas Cage in talks for HBO’s True Detective Season 5 (set in New York).
Horror icons Kane Hodder, Bill Moseley, Michael Berryman, and Casper Van Dien unite for Spawn of the Living Dead.
John Russo (co-writer of Night of the Living Dead) is back in the mix.
Bone Lake shocks with a 95% Rotten Tomatoes score—sequel incoming?
In this episode, we cover:
⏩ The strange production and legacy of Drive-In Massacre (1976)
⏩ Favorite WTF moments (pervert truckers, drag sting ops, and Germy’s “protection”)
⏩ Why the ending still frustrates horror fans
⏩ Fan Q&A: The Punisher, Spider-Man, Blade, Ghost Rider & Marvel crossovers
