I’ve gone ahead and uploaded the 1st episode of Explodey Jo’s new X-Files podcast: The Explodey Files #1. Steve and I will join her each week in the search for the truth!
This week: “Pilot” – Smokin’ hot and smart Dana Scully is introduced to her new partner Foxy Badass Mulder. They travel to Or-i-gone to investigate a series of alleged abductions. Noses will bleed, vegetables will run, and evidence will be burned!

Hey everybody, Jeff here. I need to announce that, in the near future, the Splattercast is no longer going to be a weekly show. Please understand: We are not ending the show entirely, it just won’t be coming out every single week. The Third Annual Splatcademy Awards are still coming on March 8th and will be better than ever. We’re also still going to burn Swexas to the ground in a few weeks.
I’ll take all of the responsibility for this shake-up. I came to the other guys a while back and told them that I was getting burned out and needed a break. They were very understanding and agreed that it would be okay to switch things around a bit. For me, it’s all about a lack of time. It’s gotten more and more difficult for me to find the time to do all of the work that goes into a decent podcast, especially on a weekly basis. I hope to regroup and figure out a schedule that I can handle. I really do think the Splattercast is a damned fine show when we’re on our game.
In the meantime, I am very excited that we will soon be expanding our roster of podcasts. We’re adding at least two new shows and maybe even more down the road. Mat is heading up The Blackfoot Lounge, which will focus on slasher films of the 70s-80s, and Explodey Jo will be debuting a new show paying homage to the X-Files. I’m trying to get Steve & Deejay to do a relationship advice podcast as well, but we’ll see. I’m also kicking around an idea for a hentai and MTG podcast (just kidding! or am I?) All of these new shows will appear in the existing Splattercast RSS feed so it should be very easy for everyone to check out all of the new stuff without any extra hassle.
Thank you very much for continuing to visit us here at Dead Lantern! Oh, and a little plug for our forum – it’s been more active than ever over the past couple of weeks so check it out.

There are less than 2 weeks left to vote in this year’s Splatcademy Awards. Do your civic duty and vote! I just looked at the vote tallies and, if you know anything about elections, you’ll know that 50% is the magical number. If you can get half the vote in anything, odds are you’ll be a landslide winner. To show how competitive this race is, only 4 categories have leaders that are at 50% or over. 4 out of 21. So if you haven’t voted yet, know that your vote could still be the difference in deciding many close categories. Voting ends March 1st. Tell your friends, your enemies, and your lovers to rock the vote.
Also, don’t forget that we’re doing a tribute to Joe Bob Briggs. We invite all of you to leave a voicemail at 206-350-9636 Tell us why you love Joe Bob and you’ll be able to participate in this year’s awards ceremony. Deadline for this is also March 1st since we’ve got a lot of post-production to do on the segment, so be sure to leave your comment.
Also, in even bigger news for Splattercast nation, Frank and Ronin of The Sleepy Cast fame have secured something very big for this year’s award show. An interview with none other than Rob Zombie himself. They’ve also got some other surprises in store for everyone. This is shaping up to be a monumental event. The kind of thing that Roland Emmerich will make a movie about someday. You won’t want to miss out.
Don’t forget to vote and leave a voicemail for Joe Bob!
Eric from The Dark Hours Podcast was kind enough to take a look at our latest film, Outpost Doom. The whole show is dedicated to low budget indie horror and we’re the second film reviewed.
Special thanks and shoutout to Eric for the review, we appreciate it!
Everyone knows about Horrorphilia’s upcoming loss to us in the Wishmaster Cast Battle, but what you probably don’t know is that, well, they actually exist. That’s right, we’re not making it up, it’s an actual “podcast”. I know, you all that it was just a dumb joke we were playing on you. We decided a while back to steal their 3 listeners by allowing them to review Outpost Doom. Because they need the spotlight on their shitty podcast, and the fact that they are like hungry dogs begging for our table scraps, they decided to dedicate an entire show to us. Yeah, that’s right, in the midst of our battle, they felt the need to slurp us with free press (bad publicity is still good publicity!).
I’m not going to listen to this episode because no Texan or Swede is even qualified on any level to discuss horror, so why bother? But there it is for those of you who are curious.
I notice in the show notes that they claim to read an “e-mail” from me. That’s weird, cuz I just got one from Borp and Gonzo that I’m going to read on next week’s show….
Oh, and Deejay is all about capitalism (except when he’s being a socialist and funding our moviemaking adventures at a loss) and wants me to remind all of you that you can rent The Grand Horror, or buy it, from Amazon.com
