[REVIEW] Serial Killer Shop’s T-Shirts Slay!

April 9, 2017 by Brandon Gentry No Comments
Serial Killer Shop Review

If you pay attention to what’s going on in horror through social media, chances are you’ve bumped into Serial Killer Shop, a fashion and lifestyle brand that sells T-shirts, hats, magnets and more. In fact, like 40oz. Of Horror, you might be one of their 27,000 Instagram followers.

I finally got around to adding a couple Serial Killer Shop T-shirts to my collection, and I’m glad I did. I say “collection” because I don’t just have T-shirts for wearing — I do, in fact, collect them. Luckily for me, my job is casual, and I sport a printed tee, primarily band-, alcohol- or horror-related, nearly every day.

I opted for the Freddy Krueger “Don’t Fall Asleep” and Patrick Bateman “Hey Paul” T-shirts. The first thing I noticed is the high-quality print job. The crisp graphics and the vibrant colors definitely meet and exceed my standards as a connoisseur of the pop culture T-shirt. In my experience, fit and comfort are generally something that only comes with the softening of a vintage tee — the kind you’d get from your dad as a hand-me-down. But right off the rack, Serial Killer Shop T-shirts have a great fit and feel.

Bottom line: These tees are 40oz. Of Horror approved. I know what I’m wearing to the next horror convention.

Scroll through the 40oz. Of Horror gallery on Instagram to see more pics.

Rue Morgue’s Praise of the 40oz. Of Horror! Podcast

October 18, 2016 by Brandon Gentry 1 Comment
40oz. Of Horror! Podcast

“[40oz. Of Horror] have claimed a stake for themselves as the unabashed party animals in the horror podcast scene.”

-Rue Morgue Magazine

You guys, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t proud of our boys Chad and James. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t proud of this little podcast. I’d really be lying if I said that we all weren’t struck fucking speechless when we saw a positive review of the 40oz. Of Horror! Podcast in the latest issue of Rue Morgue Magazine!

For James… this is his mag, man! This is his Rolling Stone!

We didn’t know the review was happening, but it did. We didn’t start this thing because of us. It’s never been about us. It all started at the horror cons, meeting new friends and talking horror over some beers. We’re humbled and grateful. Thanks for sticking with us. Thanks for drinking up. Check out the review below.

From Rue Morgue:

“More often than not, swilling brews and booze can lead to dumb jokes or obnoxious rants. As such, I was wary about a podcast called 40oz. Of Horror and even more hesitant when the first episode I heard consisted of them discussing the douchebaggery and debauchery of the Indy 500. And yet, I found myself won over by these genre superfans who have claimed a stake for themselves as the unabashed party animals in the horror podcast scene. Their love for horror is as apparent as their appreciation of fine, micro-brewed lager. Friends since childhood, show hosts Chad Butrum and James Dunn have zero pretentious in their approach to horror, and their genuine affection for one another is as obvious as it is infectious. They cover the latest in horror news along with your typical fanboy updates but also veer into their other interests, including racing, wrestling and other sports. It would be easy to slam a couple guys for sucking suds and yacking it up but Chad and James are likable enough that it works, and I must admit, that if I were inclined to pound back a six-pack and listen to a horror podcast, this would be my show of choice… especially since their belches sound so vivid you can practically smell them. Bottoms up!”

What if the ‘Elm Street’ Kids Had Facebook?

October 9, 2016 by Brandon Gentry 14 Comments
What if the Nightmare on Elm Street Kids Had Been on Facebook?

I often think about how things might have been different if we had the internet and social media back in the day. But what if the teenagers in one of the most iconic horror movies of all time had social media?” What if the Nightmare on Elm Street kids had Facebook? What would that be like for Freddy Krueger’s Elm Street children? Here’s a look at the Elm Street Kids’ Facebook timeline — a modernization — taking place in 2016 Springwood, Ohio as their nightmares about the Springwood Slasher unfold.

9 Halloween Costumes You Totally Wore as a Kid in the ’80s and ’90s

October 1, 2016 by Brandon Gentry 1 Comment
9 Halloween Costumes You Wore as a Kid in the 80s and 90s

I wanted to revisit the Halloween costumes our generation wore during the golden era of Halloween in the 1980s and 90s. Our costumes were nothing less than battle armor that protected us as we ventured into the darkness in search of every illuminated porch light in town. They transformed us into 4-foot-tall elite trick-or-treating, candy-eating, smell-my-feeting machines. So here they are:

The 9 Halloween costumes you KNOW you wore as a kid

New Metallica Song ‘Moth Into Flame’ — Riff Life

September 26, 2016 by Brandon Gentry No Comments
New Metallica Song "Moth Into Flame"

Motherfucker it’s good to hear new a new Metallica song! The ‘tallica boys released the latest track “Moth Into Flame” from their upcoming album “Hardwired…To Self Destruct.” And let me just say it’s a classic heavy metal riff fest.

Check out the official music video below:

I’ve been a huge unapologetic fan of this band for most of my life. The fact that these dudes are still doing their thing seems like no small feat. From their return to thrash roots on 2008’s “Death Magnetic” to the mega-groove-riffage on “Moth to the Flame” it seems like Metallica still have what it takes to bring the crunch.

From Metallica:

We’re back!! Welcome to track number two from Hardwired…To Self-Destruct, “Moth Into Flame.” As some of you accurately predicted, we gave it the first public spin while hanging out with our great friend Howard Stern this morning in his New York studio. Sitting and chatting with Howard is one our favorite things to do and we were honored that he offered to play it first and let us perform a few additional songs live while we were there. We’re also excited to debut the corresponding video directed by Tom Kirk of Muse fame.

Just to refresh your memories, ‘Hardwired…To Self-Destruct’ hits the streets on November 18, 2016 and was produced by Greg Fidelman, along with James and Lars, and is available for pre-order in a variety of configurations including 12 songs on a double CD, vinyl, digital download, as well as a deluxe version including cover songs and live tracks.

We are just getting started, so keep watching this space for more information, more tour dates and just in general, more Metallica!! IT’S ON!

I thought the first single off the new record, “Hardwired,” was badass — this new tune is a banger! This metalhead can’t wait to get his hands on “Hardwired…To Self-Destruct” available everywhere on November 18.

Let me know what you think about “Moth Into Flame” in the comments section below.

We're starting a blog here at 40oz. Of Horror!

September 28, 2013 by Brandon Gentry 1 Comment
40oz. Of Horror Podcast episode 61

With the 40oz. crew becoming more disjointed as life takes us in different directions, we’ve talked about starting a blog.

“Blogging?” you ask, “What will you blog? Horror?”

Maybe. But this blog will be an outlet for us to catch up with friends and keep you posted on what’s happening behind the scenes at 40oz. Of Horror. I’ve even talked with the guys about opening the site up a little — maybe make it a free-for-all. I’d like to see what would happen if we let you guys start posting our content.

What do you think?

What I’m listening to: Alice In Chains – “We Die Young”
