History Podcast / TheExplodingHeadsHorrorMoviePodcast

* ButtMonkey: They bust each other’s balls a lot on the show, but Brandon gets hit the most with this status. In the span of the whole show’s run, he became [[Film/TheWitch Black Phillip’s bottom bitch]], has been compared to [[Literature/{{Twilight}} Edward Cullen]] due to his skin being so pale, takes more cocks than he could handle, enjoys movies often the other hosts even dislike [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and chose]] Film/FridayThe13thPartVIITheNewBlood [[NeverLiveItDown as is favorite horror film of 1988]].

** Brandon isn’t big on cheap fan service moments just for the sake of having them as he feels it doesn’t make up for a bad script. Also Film/Halloween2018.

** Dave Zee loves J-Horror & Found Footage movies and is a big fan of Creator/DarioArgento’s work. Plus he ranks Film/Creepshow, Film/TheExorcist & FIlm/TheShining very high as some of his favorite films, ''period''.

* Catchphrase: ''"Alright, alright!"'', which Dave Zee says at the beginning of every episode.

The way they set up their podcast is simple. They give a rating from 1 to 10 out of 10. If it reaches 29 or above its in the Hall of Fame. If it reaches 9 or lower it’s on the Hall of Lame. Their ratings also have special names, mostly attached to newer movies, though they have rated older movies with these as well:

** Mild Rumble with Nose & Ear Bleeding: The movie is SoOkayItsAverage. There’s some good merit to it, but overall it’s not worth investing into it at the time being.

* CoversAlwaysLie: Dave admits he’s not a big fan of the Nightmare On Elm Street posters as other fans are as to him, they’re inaccurate to what the film’s were.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: The earlier episodes didn’t incorporate a numbered rating system [[note]] 10/10, 7.5/10, etc. [[/note]] or labeling the names of the ratings [[note]] Full Head explosion, half head explosion, mild rumble and imploded head [[/note]] of the movies until Episode 7. Before it was just simple, highly recommend, not recommended style of rating.

** Brandon’s favorite slasher villain is [[Franchise/ANightmareOnElmStreet Freddy Krueger]], citing him as the embodiment of the boogeyman as a kid. He even went as far as to rank [[Film/ANightmareOnElmStreet5TheDreamChild the two]] [[Film/FreddysDeadTheFinalNightmare lowest rated]] Elm Street movies slightly higher than Christian and Dave as he couldn’t see Freddy [[InsultToRocks in the Hall of Lame with Sleepaway Camp VI]]. He also loves weird, surreal and even sometimes artsy horror films like Film/PicnicAtHangingRock and Film/TheNeonDemon for instance. He also loves musicals.

-> "Now THIS Is TV Tropes!"

* AccentuateTheNegative: Downplayed and mostly averted. They’re willing to give any film a chance regardless of its reputation and will give it merit for what they do right. That said, if said film ''is'' that bad, they won’t hold back on why they think it’s bad.

** Christian adores the more zany, over the top stuff like Film/EvilDead2.

* TakeThat: Anytime they reference Film/HalloweenResurrection or Film/SleepawayCampIVTheSurvivor, they refer to them as ''Halloween: Colon Resurrectum'' and ''The Piece of Shit'' (dis)respectfully.

** Dave also isn’t too keen on certain films, despite the overwhelming negative reactions beforehand, all the sudden get VindicatedByHistory just because a new Blu-ray release came out.

* FanBoy: Of the horror genre in general, but especially the [[Franchise/FridayThe13th Friday the 13th series]] as at least one film from that series was their gateway into the slasher genre.
** Dave Zee is a fan of J-Horror and cites that as his rejuvenation in the horror genre.
