Episode 89 | LET US IN! w/ guests Anthony Moran & Rebecca Solano

In December, a life changing event happened which delayed this episode from being uploaded until now. But, here it is, and we are talking about the ever gritty, 1984 release, COMBAT SHOCK. Probably one of the most straight forward and depression movies that Troma has ever released.

Episode 90 | COMBAT SHOCK

This episode we are talking about Bret McCormick's Super 8 splatter classic THE ABOMINATION. If you haven't checked this one out, now is the time. Coughed up tumors, evangelical pastors, and the best dream sequence / gore reel money can buy.

Episode 93 | ABSURD

Who says you need buckets of blood and gratuitous nudity for a slasher to be good? Well, a lot of people, actually. But, they are wrong! We are back and talking about the 1982, often over looked, slasher THE HOUSE ON SORORITY ROW. This movie is an example of the right way to pull inspiration from other movies without blatantly ripping them off.

Episode 94 | The House on Sorority Row

Episode 95 | BLACK PAST

Burnt Offerings is a podcast featuring horror movie, and music, news and reviews. Hosts Jared and Steve discuss horror films and whatever bands and releases they have been jamming all while downing a fine selection of cheap beer and malt liquor. Steve is a self proclaimed '80s slasher fan who doesn't enjoy much of anything that came out after 1994. If he's not watching Hide and Go Shriek while downing a 40oz of Mickeys and blasting Fister, then he's probably beating Friday the 13th for the NES in under 20min for the 1,000th time. Jared likes his movies gory, grainy, and with a good amount of sleaze. Anything from '80s slashers, to Italian giallos and Japanese death tapes. He enjoys watching a stack of tapes while spinning records, mostly Japanese raw punk, raw grind, or almost any NWOBHM band, and drinking a few beers. Catch us at a convention in the Midwest.
