In this sick episode of The Offering with Jerry Horror, we scrub in for a diagnosis of a 1992 slasher that went a little mad in the operating room. As the first of three Dark Horse comic adaptations, this flick flatlined at the box office while its counterparts like The Mask and Timecop lived healthier lives. Originally meant to be a serious psychological thriller in the vein of Silence of the Lambs, this film took a sharp turn into campy slasher territory—turning a promising diagnosis into some...

In this electrifying episode of The Offering with Jerry Horror, we plug into the shocking story behind a 1989 horror film that Universal hoped would zap new life into their slasher game. Desperate for their own version of a certain razor-gloved dream demon, the studio charged ahead with a new villain who was all about high voltage mayhem. Despite the jolt of excitement surrounding the film, the pressure to deliver dazzling special effects led the lead artist to suffer a complete meltdown, leavin...

In this Monster Mash-themed episode of The Offering with Jerry Horror, we dig up the remains of another ill-fated attempt to launch a Dark Cinematic Universe. What would spooky season be without revisiting a high-budget monster flick that tried to blend action and horror but ended up six feet under in the graveyard of failed franchises? Jerry unearths the eerie secrets of this film, including how every canister was cryptically labeled “The Vatican Directive” before being unleashed in theaters—a ...

Hollywood may have taken a different path, but this film still delivers a knockout punch for fans of martial arts mayhem. ...

In this groovy episode of The Offering with Jerry Horror, we boogie down to the sequel of a beloved disco-era classic—yes, it exists, and yes, it’s just as dizzying as you’d imagine. Jerry grooves through how this film, featuring a leading man and a director known for their wild nights at Studio 54, attempted to recapture the sparkle of the original but ended up missing a few steps. Instead of the Bee Gees, this film’s soundtrack was largely carried by another musical talent: Frank Stallone. ...

In this absurd episode of The Offering with Jerry Horror, we take a deep dive into the chaotic production of a 1994 action film that’s as notorious for its behind-the-scenes drama as it is for its on-screen antics. Jerry unravels the mystery behind the alleged involvement of some rather unsavory characters—let’s just say, there might have been a little help from the mafia in getting this movie made. Adding to the chaos, the film's director was so paranoid that he carried not one, but two high-ca...

In the season 4 premiere of The Offering with Jerry Horror, we dive into the depths of a notorious sequel that proves if you pay a certain Oscar-winning actor enough money, he’ll take on just about any role—even one involving a vengeful aquatic predator. Jerry unpacks how this widely ridiculed follow-up was less about crafting a compelling story and more about promoting a theme park ride, with its groan-inducing tagline outlasting the film itself. Jerry humorously dissects the bizarre creativ...

In Season 4 of The Offering with Jerry Horror, we journey through the fascinating world of movie franchises that never quite made it to the big leagues—or met an untimely demise. Jerry explores three intriguing categories: Franchise Killers, Franchise Non-Starters, and Franchise One-Hit Wonders.
