About this episode

Happy Valentines Day!!! Today we’re heading deep underground to crack open My Bloody Valentine (1981). the grimy Canadian slasher that proves nothing says romance like a pickaxe to the heart. Set in a mining town where Valentine’s Day comes with a body count, this cult classic blends blue-collar dread, holiday horror, and some truly brutal kills. We dig into the film’s troubled production, the infamous MPAA cuts, and why its atmosphere hits harder than most slashers of the era. Is Harry Warden one of the most underrated horror villains? And does this movie deserve more love than it gets? Grab your gas mask, lock the mine shaft, and join us as we unearth one of the bloodiest Valentine’s dates in horror history.
