What causes one host in this review of Constantine to tell the other to fuck off? What causes that same host to say it a second time? Hint: They both have to do with actors in the film, and neither of them are Keanu Reeves. If you're the kind of person who listens to movie reviews to just get a short synopsis of a film, skip to a little bit past minute 13. Send feedback to: feedback@dreadmedia.net, or 206.203.1213.

Marvel at Gene Colan's use of cheesecake! Wonder in amazement at Chris' alternate reality versions of these issues!

Let's face it: when a murder happens, the police look at the victim's loved ones as suspects because a sad fact of life is that the ones that love us are the ones that kill us. This week, we explore that when Desmond and Duane look at the criminally underrated Stepfather. Then Devil Dinosaur Jr. reviews the sequel, Stepfather II. Then Desmond gets modern as he takes a look at Scorned. Spurned lover songs right here: "Who's Your Daddy" by Lordi, "Come to Daddy" by The Dillinger Escape Plane w/ Mike Patton, "Never Less than Perfect" by Blutronia, "Creep" by The Afghan Whigs and "Killed by Love" by Alice Cooper.

It's been six years since Tony Wash from Scotchworthy Productions joined us on Dread Media. This time he's here to talk about all manner of things, but most importantly his massive anthology project World of Death and his upcoming crime film High on the Hog.

There's tunes as well: "Goo Goo Muck" by The Cramps, "Dead to the World" by Toxic Holocaust, "High on the Crime" by Turbonegro, and "5 Shots of Whiskey" by Hank Williams III.

Inheriting a legacy can be a great thing, but not if the legacy you inherit is one of death and terror. That's what we're looking at this week. The girl is troubled, but is it her fault or are her father's murderous inclinations speaking through her hands? Does an obsession with horror films lead the impressionable to murder? Can a man's mission to find his ancestor's creation lead to anything but death? All these questions are explored as Darryll and Desmond review the Hammer film Hands of the Ripper, Devil Dinosaur Jr. explores the under-appreciated 80s film Fade to Black, and Desmond goes solo on found-footage homage Frankenstein Theory. There's tunes from upstarts and legends of heavy metal this week as well: "Hands of the Ripper" by She's Still Dead, "The Ripper" by Judas Priest, "Fade To Black" by Metallica, "Frankenstein" by Iced Earth, and "Sins of the Father" by Black Sabbath.

Take a seat. Don't worry about the leather straps digging into your arms. I won't pull them too tight. I would hate to waste all your pain on the straps.
