It’s finally October, the Dirt Dog Family’s favorite month of the year! We’re excited to embark on another October Horror Movie Challenge, but first- we’ve got a movie to review: the 1981 bizarro satanic panic film, Fear No Evil. This is a weird one folks. Is it homoerotic or homophobic (or somewhere in between)? What’s the deal with all the religious mumbo jumbo? We’ll try our best to answer these questions. If you like slightly punk rock batshit crazy 80’s films, or have an interest in dodgeball deaths, this might be your jam. WARNING: there are dead dogs. Happy October!

This week on Gem Hunt, everything breaks down in a family brouhaha over the surname of some guy called Tom Hank or perhaps Hanks. This guy appears in our movie, He knows You’re Alone, an early slasher from 1981. Film newbie Hank(s) trips a broad to meet a broad in this (girl power?) bride-focused offering. Featuring stabbings, heads in the fishtank, and beautiful Staten Island, NY, babeeeeees. Also, the October People are coming, and we have prepared stickers. Check out our website, and contact us to get yours - www.gemhuntpod.com

Welcome back to Gem Hunt!!

Our hiatus is over and we’re back better than ever, diving headfirst into the wild, campy chaos of Wild Zero (1999) — a cult classic featuring Guitar Wolf, romance, zombies, the power of Rock ’n’ Roll, the yakuza, bowl cuts, and the potential collapse of civilization as we know it. Join us this week as we break down the madness, and decide if this truly deserves the title of a horror gem. Also, check out the new website: www.gemhuntpod.com.

If you’re having a bad day, week, or year.. just remember, it can always get worse. You may want to think twice about answering your door if someone knocks this evening. We can guarantee you’ll definitely think twice about answering a knock at your door if you happen to watch this week’s movie, Tin Can Man from 2007 (or 2012?). Prepare yourself for a claustrophobic waking nightmare and join us for Gem Hunt’s 30th episode, as we discuss surrealism, home invasion, and Lynchian film making. We’re taking a brief break after this one, so hold tight and please don’t forget about us as we work on some stuff behind the scenes. See y’all in September!

Are you awake? Is this thing on? Was it all a dream? This week the Dirt Dogs go waaay back to 1964 to check out William Castle’s The Night Walker. It’s old, it’s dreamy, it’s in black and white and it has some big time aged Hollywood talent attached. Will gimmicks and star power carry this flick over the finish line to achieve gem status, or will it turd out? What will we talk about if there’s no bush and no boob? Tune in to EPISODE TWENTY NINE (!!) to find out. Sweet dreams..

Ghosts, ghouls, vampires, dentures, and shitty husbands: what do they have in common? I don’t know, but they’re all here to party in this week’s episode of Gem Hunt, where we dive into the Hong Kong cult classic Hex (1980). Do you like boobs? Do you like ghosts with cleavers and green goop? Then you’ll love what we’ve got in store!

Is Gem Hunt joining the 27 club? Technical difficulties might just push us over the edge. But despite the audio issues with the new Dirt Dog computer, we still have movie stuff to discuss. Join us for a visit to sleazy 80’s Los Angeles as we debate whether The Black Room is a horror film or an erotic thriller. It may even be a vampire film. We even find time to talk about our favorite horror novels.

Everyone is a puppet, including the Gem Hunt crew. Who’s controlling you? Maybe it’s the Dirt Dogs.. The only way to find out is to check out this week’s episode, which also happens to be the Gem Hunt one year anniversary. This week, we review the 2023 film Abruptio, with a cast made up entirely of puppets, and featuring the voice work of some horror legends. Can a new film be a gem? The answer is hidden within, so check it out and don’t let your head explode.
