Pillow Fright

Manhunter (1986)

Season 1 Episode 14

Happy New Theme Month, Pillow Frighters! This month’s most anticipated new releases have one thing in common, and that’s serial killer mysteries with detectives on the case! We’re staying in the neighborhood of Slasher Summer with Serial Season, and what better movie to start us off than with 1986’s Manhunter? This one oozes the 1980s so much, you’ll practically slip on the sweet sexy synth sounds (and alliteration). 

Other talking points include the rad viral marketing campaigns of summer’s most anticipated releases, our new favorite pre-show vocal warmup “MIKE MIGNOLA”, and the many, MANY off-the-wall tangents that almost turned this episode into drinking game of Hellboy Mad Libs. This is not your mother’s podcast episode, so if you enjoy us at our most NSFW (aka our absolute BEST), this episode is for you!
