    The Rage: Carrie 2 (1999)
    Sep 23 2024
    A September of School Scares is rapidly coming to an end here on The Blind Rage Podcast. For the penultimate episode, we’re taking a look at Katt Shea’s severely, disgracefully, criminally underrated THE RAGE: CARRIE 2. In this sequel to Brian DePalma’s immortal classic, we’re introduced to Rachel Lange (Emily Bergl), a high school outcast whose world is shattered when her best and only friend (Mena Suvari) commits suicide after being dumped by a popular boy (“Home Improvement” star Zachary Ty Bryan). We learn that members of the football team are having casual encounters with female students, then quickly tossing them aside. To make matters more unseemly, they keep a notebook, where the girls are judged on their looks, as well as sexual performance. What they don’t know is that Rachel, much like her half-sister, holds telekinetic powers, and the prank they have planned is about to go very, very wrong.

  • Pledge Night (1989)

    Pledge Night (1989)
    Sep 16 2024

    The Blind Rage Podcast carries on A September of School Scares with PLEDGE NIGHT, a late ‘80s oddity exposing the real life horrors of fraternity hazing. Well, sort of.


    While penning the script, Joyce Snyder visited fraternities to investigate what members of the university elite were forced to endure before being offered the golden ticket. Many of these rituals were incorporated into the story, along with a bizarre subplot centered around a prank gone horribly wrong.


    Killed in 1969, Acid Sid returns to the scene of the crime to wreak bloody vengeance, even though no one currently occupying the house had anything to do with his death. Spewing corny one-liners, most of them phrases found on bumper stickers in the 1960s, he dispatches victims by lighting a cherry bomb forced into a brother’s anus, strangling another with his own intestines, and wielding…an eggbeater.


    It's bad on multiple levels, yet somehow watchable. Perhaps the many homoerotic overtones had something to do with it…

    The House on Sorority Row (1982)
    Sep 9 2024
    The school scares are far from over here on The Blind Rage Podcast! This week, we take a look at THE HOUSE ON SORORITY ROW, a fairly paint-by-numbers slasher involving an innocent prank gone wrong, leaving a dead body in its wake. As always, our ensemble (this time, a group of seven sorority sisters) decide to conceal the crime instead of calling for aid. But someone’s seen… Someone knows… Someone who’ll make sure this sorority’s members are quickly and violently dispatched.

  • Massacre at Central High (1976)

    Massacre at Central High (1976)
    Sep 2 2024
    It’s back-to-school month on The Blind Rage Podcast! Kicking things off is MASSACRE AT CENTRAL HIGH, an experiment in ‘70s exploitation notorious for waiting until the last scene to show any adults (teachers, parents) and for being an undeniable inspiration for the 1989 cult classic HEATHERS. When David (Derrel Maury) transfers to Central High at the insistence of an old friend (Andrew Stevens), he discovers that the school is under a dictatorship led by the three richest, most popular students. Bored of seeing his fellow classmates ordered around and tormented, David decides to take matters into his own hands, dispatching of the school’s leaders in grisly fashion. Almost immediately, those once considered underlings begin acting out in ways similar, if not worse, than those they’ve escaped. David decides there is only one thing he can do to finally set things right…

  • The Last House on the Left (1972)

    The Last House on the Left (1972)
    Aug 26 2024
    The Blind Rage Podcast is using a sticky hand to wave a fond farewell to Sleazy ‘70s month. With its graphic depictions of violence and sexual assault, Wes Craven’s original 1972 THE LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT outraged a nation. Surprisingly, Roger Ebert, a man known for being incredibly vocal about his revulsion for all things horror, gave the film a near-perfect score in his original review. Though condemned by many, the film went on to become a cult classic, inspiring endless copy cats, as well as an official (2009) and an unofficial (David DeFalco’s CHAOS) remake, both of which have been featured on past episodes of the podcast.

  • The Toolbox Murders (1978)

    The Toolbox Murders (1978)
    Aug 19 2024
    “Dying’s easy. It’s over in a second. This hurts worse…” The Blind Rage Podcast is keeping it sleazy with the original 1978 cult classic THE TOOLBOX MURDERS! A series of brutal killings are committed at a small Californian apartment complex, all of them carried out by way of implements found in an average toolbox. The killer appears to be targeting young, attractive women in their twenties, but things take a turn when Laurie Ballard (Pamelyn Ferdin), a 15-year-old high school student, is abducted by the masked assailant. The intensely graphic nail gun scene, as well as Stephen King’s fandom for the film, has not only helped the low-budget endeavor acquire cult status, but has kept horror fans interested nearly 45 years later.

  • I Spit on Your Grave (1978)

    I Spit on Your Grave (1978)
    Aug 12 2024
    “Suck it, bitch.” The Blind Rage Podcast continues Sleazy ‘70s month with Meir Zarchi’s original 1978 cult classic I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE, a film so notorious that it not only spawned its own subgenre, but inspired dozens of copycats over the past 40+ years. Jennifer Hills, a New York City native, rents a cabin in the remote wilderness of Kent, Connecticut. There, she plans to spend the summer months crafting her first novel. Almost immediately, she is accosted by four ne’er-do-wells, who decide they’re going to spend the afternoon brutalizing her for their own sadistic pleasure. But Jennifer is no shrinking violet. After recovering from multiple assaults, she retaliates with some of the most iconic revenge sequences ever put to celluloid. A simple, but effective plot that continues to stand the test of time.

  • Sons of Satan (1973)

    Sons of Satan (1973)
    Aug 5 2024
    A lost brother. A satanic cult. A Party City Halloween costume including a pair of cheap vampire teeth. Oh, and a large chalice filled to the brim with clumpy, discolored seminal fluids. It’s Sleazy ‘70s Month on the Blind Rage Podcast and we’re kicking things off with one of Tom DeSimone’s earliest foray’s into the world of adult cinema: 1973’s SONS OF SATAN. To say it’s unpolished would be putting it mildly. It’s damn near unwatchable. And if it weren’t for all the sodomy, it would be a perfect selection for MST3K.
