Just released moments ago on the RiffTrax site, it's the Vincent Price classic zombie film, The Last Man on Earth!
Our man Vincent has come a long way from the House on Haunted Hill where he made a skeleton dance with puppet strings. Now he lives in a much smaller house, nowhere near a hill, battling madness and endless swarms of vampire-zombies. He’s living a life o... 2021-02-19 18:56:13 +0000 UTC View Post

Hey everyone, Conor here. The other day Whizzo's feet showed up in my twitter feed. This was unsettling, and to be honest, I don't know if I've totally recovered. But when I see a pair of feet this gross, I need to share them with my friends, and fortunately Mike, Kevin, and Sean were all available.
We discussed our plans to make a heist movie about stealing the feet from the museum where they are interred, and I think by the end we had all vowed to actually go try to ste...

Our latest from the "BritTrax" RiffTrax Presents duo of Matthew J. Elliott and Ian Potter is now available!
In 1958, Hal Roach – the man behind Laurel and Hardy's greatest comedies – decided to make a horror anthology series starring Boris Karloff. That series then remained in a vault for the next thirty years, because it was exactly as good as you think it was.

Hey there, Traxians! Erik here.
Kevin, Bill, Mike, Conor, and Sean got on Zoom right before we released our latest riff just for you, dear Patrons, to squeeze even more juice out of this 90s cheese. They discussed the bad guy's excessive quips, the occasional censorship (which came with our copy of the movie, believe it or not!), and Bill finally learns about the other work the actor who p...

It's Friday, so you know what that means: new riff day!
A nuclear bomb is about to explode in a maximum security prison! And it’s brand new so there’s only five prisoners. And they’re all guilty of terrible crimes, so nobody’s going to be too upset if they get blown up. Okay, maybe it’s not the best plan. But the bad guys worked really hard to… sneak the bomb into the prison? Real... 2021-01-29 20:11:03 +0000 UTC View Post

We've all been there: it's 1962 and you're a prom queen on your way to the big dance with your hot-head jerk of a boyfriend at the wheel when you meet your demise in a car crash!
Voila, you’re an apparition whose only chance at redemption is to return to Earth and set things right. This means playing matchmaker for the high school friends you left behind, who seemed to have moved on just fine and never mention the traumatizing event.

I scream, you scream, can't get enough of our latest riff, Frozen Scream? Then you're in the right place: Mike, Bill, Kevin and Sean are Zooming in to give you even more! They do a deep dive into the bad plot, the worse dubbing, and the overall mind-blowing ineptitude of this 1970s horror flick.

Now it's time to mine that sweet banjo dust.
Allegedly a zombie movie, Frozen Scream is mostly about cultists in black robes chasing people around with needles and then sticking them in freezers. Like the undead, the film feels stitched together from lots of different pieces that have nothing to do with each other. The most prominently bizarre result of this is voiceover narration busting into scenes where it doesn’t belong, running over character dialogue in a technique that can only be called “absolutely ...

Hey Traxians. Conor here. I wanted to share a little Patreon synergy here. Why? Well, don't you remember what the guy said in Love Actually? "Because it's Christmas, and at Christmas you have online holiday crossover events." What's that? That's not what he said at all? Well, excuse me, I had the TV on mute. What's that? He didn't even say it? He held it up on posters so muting the TV shouldn't affect my comprehension at all? LOOK WE'RE OFF TO A BAD START!

Merry almost-Christmas, Traxian House!
It's a Wonderful Life has been the Holy Grail of movie riffs for us for years, even getting SO close as a Kickstarter stretch goal on more than one occasion. Alas, a riff of this holiday classic seemed like it would never be possible... until now!
How can this be so? Well, through the miracle of editing, of course! It's true, we had to remove a "major subplot," along with some of the background music in a few scenes, but ...

When Harry Trent runs afoul of some Rent-A-Cops, he escapes in the most sensible way: by blasting off into space in a stolen ship. There’s just one thing he didn’t count on: he can’t return for five years! It’s unclear why, something about elliptical orbits or something. Who are we, Galileo Brahe??
Fortunately, Harry uses the unforced time to better himself as a person, teach himself new skills, and broaden his mind. We're just kidding; he paints a face on his space-pillow and h...
