🔪 Season 3 is officially OPEN! 🔪

The Opening Kill Podcast is back and we’re kicking off Season 3 with a deep dive into one of horror’s most iconic nightmares: A Nightmare on Elm Street.

But this season, we’re changing the game.

We’re debuting a brand-new format that puts the spotlight where it belongs: the opening kill. We’ll be digging deeper into the kills that kick off our favorite horror movies, what makes them memorable, how they set the tone, and why that first kill can make or break a movie.

For our Season 3 debut, we’re heading to Elm Street to talk Freddy Krueger, dream logic, and one of the most unforgettable opening kills in horror history

🏝️✈️ This week we’re diving into Sam Raimi’s wild survival horror ride that strands Rachel McAdams and Dylan O’Brien on a deserted island after a brutal plane crash. What starts as a tense survival story quickly spirals into a darkly funny, bloody battle of power, paranoia, and revenge. 🩸🔥

We talk Raimi’s signature gore and chaos, the shifting dynamics between Linda and her nightmare boss Bradley, and just how unhinged this movie gets by the final act. From gnarly island survival moments to shocking twists and over-the-top horror insanity, this one gave us plenty to unpack. 🌴😱🐗

Is this Raimi’s triumphant return to horror greatness or a messy fever dream? Tune in and find out! 🎙️👀

In this episode, we sink our teeth into Sinners (2025), Ryan Coogler’s genre-bending Southern Gothic vampire thriller set in 1930s Mississippi. With Michael B. Jordan pulling double duty as twin brothers Smoke and Stack, this film blends horror, blues music, and cultural history into one unforgettable experience. We break down the film’s haunting atmosphere, explosive performances, and the deeper themes of family, community, and survival that make it far more than your average vampire story. From the juke joint chaos to the blood-soaked showdowns, Sinners gave us plenty to talk about so tune in as we unpack one of 2025’s boldest horror films. 🎬🩸🔥

In this week’s episode, we dive headfirst into the absolute chaos that is Malignant, a movie that starts as a creepy haunted-house mystery 👻 and then completely loses its mind (in the best way possible) 🤯🔪. We break down James Wan’s wild tonal shifts, the over-the-top kills 🩸, and that twist that turns the whole movie on its head 😵‍💫.

From eerie visions 👁️ to full-blown police-station mayhem 🚔💥, we talk about what works, what doesn’t, and why this film has become such a polarizing favorite among horror fans 🎭. Is it genius? Is it ridiculous? Honestly… it’s kind of both 😈😂.

If you love your horror weird, bold, and just a little unhinged, this episode is for you 🎙️. Buckle up because Malignant does NOT play by the rules ⚡🧠.
