Welcome back to Summer Slash 7 — where we celebrate horror movies that just won’t die, especially the ones with seven sequels… or a seventh entry with a bite! 🦇🔥
This episode, Johnny Spoiler dives fang-first into the 1986 cult vampire film I LIKE BATS, the first vampire film in Polish cinema history! We break down this offbeat curio shop romance, its gothic patchwork style, and how it reflects Poland’s Cinema of Moral Anxiety. It’s sexy, surreal, socially charged, and maybe just a little bonkers.
Then, it's on to Wes Craven's New Nightmare — Freddy Krueger’s terrifying return as a demonic force breaking into the real world. We uncover behind-the-scenes secrets:
Why Wes reimagined Freddy’s look
The real-life stalker that inspired Heather Langenkamp’s storyline
The meta cameos you missed
Unshot scenes involving Freddy as a giant spider?!
And how New Nightmare paved the way for Scream
Also in this ep:
🎿 Winter Games movie alert! Hailee Steinfeld & Miles Teller star in an Olympic romance that sounds like The Cutting Edge got rebooted.
🗡️ First look at the Deathstalker remake — bloody good.
⚔️ Red Sonja trailer reaction — is it more 300 than Conan?
🧛♀️ Real bat ASMR, poorly timed streamer ad breaks, and a snack emergency during a vampire sex scene.
🔥 Shoutout to someone on the Witchboard 2025 team who liked our reel!
💀 Plus, our Binge Now / Binge Later / Binge Never rating system, staff picks, trivia, and a whole lot of vampire talk.
This is the 7th run of Summer Slash — and it's only getting weirder.
