About Slasher's Paradise

Welcome to Slasher’s Paradise — the horror film podcast that lives somewhere between a sun-bleached video store and a blood-soaked midnight movie. Each episode, we pull a horror film off the shelf and break it down like it’s closing time at the video store. From iconic slashers to forgotten rentals, we cover what the movie is, why it exists, and whether it’s actually worth your time — all with a neon-soaked paradise twist. Expect fast, funny breakdowns, video-store nostalgia, and brutally honest verdicts. Danny pours up the Pina-Kill-Ada, a chaotic, hilarious synopsis of the film, while Lance flips the box over From the Box Art, digging into the movie’s release, era, and place in horror history. And just before things get comfortable, the Paradise Slasher crashes in with the Slashword of the Night. No gatekeeping. No academic lectures. Just horror movies, VHS vibes, and opinions from behind the counter. So grab a rental, rewind the tape, and step into Slasher’s Paradise — a horror film podcast.

   Leprechaun 4: In Space

   It's year four of the Slasher's Paradise, St. Patrick's Day, Leprechaun franchise episodes and that means... we are headed to SPACE! Of course we are. Lance and Danny sit down with a bottle of whiskey and give the best breakdown of Leprechaun 4: In Space you've ever heard! So sit back with a green beverage and join us in Paradise. A Franchise Goes Full Cosmic Chaos Lance and Danny break down how the franchise made its most outrageous leap yet—ditching the hooded woods and urban streets for cold, metallic corridors and zero-gravity insanity. With Warwick Davis once again embodying the sinister, cackling Leprechaun, the duo explores how his performance somehow manages to stay iconic—even when he’s floating through space, regenerating from body parts, and delivering limericks like a galactic menace. They also spotlight Brent Jasmer as the unhinged mad scientist Dr. Mittenhand—whose Frankenstein-meets-Starship-Troopers energy adds a whole new layer of deranged ambition to the film. The conversation highlights how his transformation into a grotesque, mutated horror is both absurd and strangely unforgettable. 🔫 Marines, Mutations, and Mayhem The Paradise crew dives into the squad of space marines sent to take down the Leprechaun, calling out standout performances from Jessica Collins as the royal alien princess Zarina, whose presence brings a bizarre fairytale-meets-sci-fi twist to the story. Her connection to the Leprechaun—and his obsession with marrying her for power—becomes one of the episode’s most talked-about plotlines. Expect detailed breakdowns of some of the film’s most insane moments: The unforgettable scene where the Leprechaun explodes… only to regenerate from a human body in one of the weirdest horror rebirth sequences ever put to screen The lightsaber-esque glow stick battle that feels like a low-budget fever dream version of Star Wars The grotesque spider-creature mutation that pushes practical effects into pure nightmare fuel territory And of course… the Leprechaun in full space suit, still spitting rhymes like he owns the galaxy 🍀 Gold, Greed, and Pure Camp Energy Lance and Danny lean into what makes this film so rewatchable: its unapologetic commitment to chaos. They celebrate the camp, the grime, the rubbery creature effects, and the absolute refusal to take itself seriously. Words like bonkers, deranged, cosmic-trash masterpiece, cult classic, and fever dream horror get thrown around as they debate whether this is secretly one of the most entertaining entries in the entire franchise. They also touch on how Leprechaun evolved from a relatively straightforward horror flick into a genre-bending, anything-goes series that eventually said, “Yeah… let’s put him in space.” So grab your gold, crack open something cold, and drift into the madness… Because in Slasher’s Paradise… even the Leprechaun can’t escape the vibes. 🍀🔥

   The Black Phone

   The boys are back in the neon-soaked comfort of the video store, palm trees swaying and VHS tapes humming, as Slasher’s Paradise dives headfirst into The Black Phone. Lance and Danny trade sunburned sarcasm for basement dread as they break down Scott Derrickson’s chilling suburban nightmare. With the Paradise Slasher lurking somewhere near a ringing rotary phone, the episode balances tropical vibes with true terror—digging into the film’s masked villain, The Grabber, the emotional weight of Finney’s captivity, and why this movie feels like a modern classic slasher wrapped in supernatural static. It’s late-night video store energy meets ‘70s true-crime paranoia—because in Paradise, even the phones don’t stay dead. In this episode of Slasher’s Paradise, Lance and Danny return to the studio to deliver a deep, entertaining breakdown of The Black Phone (2021), directed by Scott Derrickson and based on a short story by Joe Hill. The hosts explore how the film blends supernatural horror with grounded coming-of-age drama, following young Finney Shaw as he’s abducted by the terrifying masked killer known as The Grabber (played by Ethan Hawke). The discussion covers the film’s 1970s setting, its restrained yet deeply unsettling tone, and the clever use of the disconnected black rotary phone as a conduit for ghostly guidance. Lance highlights the film’s atmosphere and practical tension, comparing it to classic suburban fear films while praising its minimalistic approach to violence. Danny dives into the emotional core of the story—particularly the sibling dynamic between Finney and Gwen—and examines how the supernatural elements serve empowerment rather than cheap scares. They also break down The Grabber as a modern horror villain, analyzing his fragmented mask design, psychological manipulation tactics, and how the performance avoids typical slasher clichés. The episode includes segments like “From the Box Art,” where the hosts evaluate the marketing and poster design, and a Slashword drinking game centered around “Grabber.” Blending humor, horror history, and Paradise-style banter, Lance and Danny ultimately debate whether The Black Phone stands alongside contemporary horror hits or carves out its own lane as a character-driven supernatural thriller. For fans searching for a spoiler-filled review, analysis of The Grabber, or a horror podcast discussion of The Black Phone, this episode of Slasher’s Paradise delivers a stylish, in-depth conversation packed with insight, nostalgia, and a touch of tropical terror.

October In Paradise

Published 13 Oct 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] And now she's in the world. So it's an expanded version of the movies basically. And she's getting out there a little bit more. We get to see more of Carrie interacting with these other characters. And, again, Mike Flanagan does a very good job of bringing out these characters and telling us a better story about them and giving them motives and giving them reason and when they interact with Carrie and can you feel for this character and can you feel for the bully and all this kind of stuff. So all of that was really good throughout those four episodes. I think I texted you right at the end of one. […]
