About BOOgie Nights with Alexis Chainsaw Massacre

BOOgie Nights with Alexis Chainsaw Massacre is a horror-review show led by appetite, irritation, affection, and memory. Alexis Chainsaw Massacre talks about scary movies as lived experience: what got seen in a theater, what lingered afterward, what dragged, what thrilled, and what deserved louder laughter than a quiet room usually allows. The recent episode set points toward a show anchored in new horror releases and familiar genre landmarks. The Bride!, Scream 7, Dracula 2025, Primate, Keeper, IT Welcome to Derry, and a 2025 horror roundup all sit in the same lane of immediate, personal response. It is loose, direct, and funny. It also has a moral pulse. In the episode around The Bride!, Alexis connects horror to women’s voices, Mary Shelley, gaslighting tropes, the final girl, and feminine rage, while keeping the conversation rooted in why the movie worked for them. Franchise history is another recurring pressure point. Scream 7 is measured against the Scream movies Alexis already cares about, with attention to Sidney, legacy characters, meta energy, and the feeling of forced melodrama. Dracula 2025 brings comparison across Dracula adaptations, including Bram Stoker’s Dracula and Nosferatu, while focusing on music, cinematography, gothic texture, and pacing. IT Welcome to Derry gets treated through the show’s pleasure in Pennywise, Derry, finale energy, and the risk of a series running too long. The show is not tidy criticism. Personal tangents are part of the engine: illness, phone trouble, winter, holidays, social media, tattoos, theater habits, and movie memories with Bizarlo all enter the frame. That looseness gives the reviews their shape. A film is never only a title; it is also the day, the body, the room, the mood, and the fandom around it. BOOgie Nights suits horror fans who want candid taste, genre loyalty, and a host willing to say when a movie simply did not work.

Made for: Suits a listener who follows new horror releases, franchise sequels, gothic adaptations, and messy fan debate. It also fits someone who likes criticism that includes personal context rather than neutral distance.

What sets it apart: The show pairs horror-specific attention to pacing, music, monsters, theaters, and franchise continuity with an unusually candid personal register. Alexis makes the review feel tied to the exact mood and moment of watching.

In their own words
