SlashU Podcast

From 2017, we bring you "Killer Campout" this week. The movie is set in 1989, although that part doesn't matter at all; this could've been set in 2017 or 1964, it didn't matter. A group of troubled youths are brought to a camp for some group therapy and outdoor nature exposure. But a sadistic, cannibalistic killer with a big sharp shield fresh from the Renaissance Faire begins killing and eating them. There's plenty of gory kills but not a lot of plot. Seems like the budget all went to the special effects in this one. Listen, enjoy, rate the show and tell a friend!

Original air date: 7/4/2022It's another repeat exam on our class covering "Hide and go Shriek" from 1988. It's the classic story of a group of kids hiding out in a big department store after closing and getting stalked by a killer. You know, that old trope. Listen, rate the show, and tell a friend. We'll be back on schedule soon.

Original Air Date: 5/3/2022This week on "Held Back" we're inviting you to re-visit our class on "Hatchet 2" from 2013. The "Hatchet" series is a favorite here at SlashU and we constantly reference director Adam Green as a staple in revitalizing the 80s-style over-the-top campiness of the kills and his use of practical effects. Join us as we walk down memory lane back to Honey Island Swamp for more fun with Victor Crowley. Tell your friends!

We're continuing our Summer Camp Slasher movie with a Tubi Original. From 2025, we bring you "Glamping." A group of almost-college-grads go on a weekend Glamping (that's short for "glamorous camping") trip. A killer starts stalking the group and let's just say this one was not as predictable as old-school slasher movies.Listen, enjoy, tell a friend and rate the show!

Original Air Date: 3/21/2022This week on the "Held Back" edition of SlashU we invite you to re-take our class on 1980's "Deadline." It's the story of a horror writer whose plot lines start to invade his real life. Honestly, that's about all I remember about this one. Good thing we've got this episode right here to remind us about all the details and what we thought of this movie. Listen and enjoy!

This week we bring you a unique campy slasher movie. Continuing our Summer Camp Slasher Series, we covered "You Might be the Killer" from 2018. This one came as a recommendation from a few different listeners, so thank you for that! And why wasn't there a sequel?? Reach out and let us know your thoughts, contact info below. This story centers around Sam, the head counselor at a summer camp. When other counselors start showing up dead, Sam calls his friend Chuck for advice/help. And as Sam stops to think about what's happening at the camp, he can't shake the thought that he might actually be the killer. Tell a friend, and enjoy the show!

Original Air Date: 11/28/2022This week on "Held Back" we're having everyone re-take our class on a 1987 sequel (maybe?) called "Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night II." This one had us scratching our heads because it involves a ghost and we're not exactly sure if it's a direct sequel to "Prom Night." But it might be. But as I type these notes and try to remember the episode, I can't really remember what we said. Guess I better listen and enjoy, just like you!

We're back with a fresh SlashU episode for your listening pleasure. Continuing our Summer Camp Slasher Series we bring you "Camp Dread" from 2014. Starring Eric Roberts, Danielle Harris, and Felissa Rose, this one gets weird. When a group of troubled 20 somethings find themselves cast in a reality show set at a summer camp, things get weird. What they suspect is a competition-style reality show "game" ends up having real life or death consequences. And as always, things aren't what they seem. Listen, tell a friend, and enjoy the show!
