Jerry Horror dives headfirst into the deep end of indie horror chaos with writer, producer, and first-time feature filmmaker Newt Wallen, the mind behind Amityville Pool Toy Massacre and founder of Schlock and Awe Films. Love him or hate him, Newt has carved out a lane in the schlock-horror world where rubber monsters, killer concepts, and DIY filmmaking collide in gloriously unhinged fashion.
From co-directing Bigfoot Exorcist to writing Shark Exorcist 2: Unholy Waters and penning blood-soaked comedy in Cult of Blood, Newt has built a filmography that lives somewhere between late-night cable and internet cult legend. He’s acted, shot, produced, and hustled his way through projects like Swamp Zombies 2, Debbie Does Demons, and Bongo: Killer Clown, proving that in indie horror, you either wear every hat or get buried under them.
In this candid and wildly entertaining conversation, Jerry and Newt go beyond the filmography and into the mindset. They talk about the influence of Ed Wood, the unexpected DNA shared with The Muppets, and the kind of bizarre, formative experiences that shape a horror filmmaker, including the universal rite of passage of stumbling upon something you definitely were not supposed to find in the woods. Porno Mags.
They also dig into the grind of low-budget filmmaking, the controversies surrounding Newt’s work, and his collaborations with exploitation filmmaker Donald Farmer, offering insight into the wild west spirit of truly independent cinema.

Jerry Horror sits down with actor, writer, producer, and now first-time feature filmmaker Rigo Garay, a true graduate of the Glass Eye Pix school of indie horror. Since 2015, Rigo has worn just about every hat imaginable under Larry Fessenden’s legendary production banner. Including producing Glass Eye's scary audio drama series Tales from Beyond the Pale and Jerry's favorite work of his - the lead in Chris Skotchdopole's Crumb Catcher. If Glass Eye Pix is a haunted house, Rigo has practically held the keys to every room.
In this wide-ranging conversation, Jerry and Rigo talk about his journey through the Glass Eye Pix ranks and what it means to finally step behind the camera for his first feature film. Along the way, they dig into growing up on Long Island, navigating life as a New York based actor, Rigo’s work popping up in Law & Order, and how the realities of the current political climate seep into the creative process.
And because no good horror hang is complete without a little chaos, the conversation also detours into their shared love of pro wrestling legends, including the one and only Mick Foley. From indie film trenches to piledrivers and production war stories, this episode pulls back the curtain on what it takes to survive and thrive in New York’s horror underground.

Jerry Horror stuffs the stocking with controversy and cracked candy canes in this very naughty Christmas Spectacular.

Originally sleighing through production under the title Slayride, the studio changed course at the last minute and unleashed a holiday shocker that opened the same weekend as a certain dream-stalking icon. For one brief, blood-soaked moment, it even out-grossed him before the backlash hit harder than a lump of coal, sending ticket sales plummeting by the second weekend. 🎅🪓
Jerry unwraps the history, the hysteria, and the holiday havoc of a film that proved Christmas can be cozy, controversial, and extremely dangerous. So pour the eggnog, lock the chimney, and remember…Santa is watching. 🎅🪓

In the Spectacular Season 5 finale of The Offering, Jerry Horror swings into one of the most divisive superhero blockbusters of the 2000s, a film packed with soaring ambition, tangled love triangles, and more villains than you can fit into a single web. It is the movie where stunt rigs, symbiotes, and studio notes collided in spectacular, finger-guns-on-the-street fashion. 🕷
While James Franco was juggling this production alongside Pineapple Express, Topher Grace left his sitcom life behind for a chance to play a snarky, sharp-toothed foil. Behind the scenes, wardrobe tried crafting a latex black suit that ended up looking a little too gimp-chic before it was scrapped for something less dungeon-ready. And if you ever wondered why prints arrived at theaters labeled “Let’s Dance Again,” well… let’s just say someone knew exactly what kind of groovy sidewalk swagger was about to enter the pop-culture bloodstream. 🕷
Jerry digs into the big swings, the behind-the-scenes chaos, and the earnest heart of a movie that may be messy but is never boring. Suit up for the Season 5 finale as he celebrates a blockbuster that has been underrated, over-hated, and forever meme-immortal. 🕷

Jerry Horror gears up for the penultimate episode of season 5, a momentous stop right before the big finale, by diving into one of the wildest sci-fi action gems the 90s ever unleashed. Sylvester Stallone himself called it a great action film ahead of its time, and honestly, when your dystopia comes with Taco Tuesdays, cryo-prisons, and bathroom tech no one understands, how could it not be?
Borrowing its title from a classic song by The Police, with Sting returning to rework it for the future, this movie is packed with explosive world-building and gloriously odd details. Speaking of odd details, those iconic seashells entered the script because the screenwriter’s buddy kept a decorative bag of them next to his toilet. One offhand bathroom comment later and the biggest mystery in sci-fi bathroom etiquette was born.
Jerry breaks down the satire, the chaos, the couture of a sanitized society, and the film that taught a generation to question both authoritarianism and their bathroom layout. Do not miss this special second-to-last deep dive of season 5 as he gears up for the grand finale.

Rule one: never underestimate your opponent and always expect the unexpected.
Rule two: take it outside and keep the inside looking respectable.
Rule three: be nice, right up until it is time to not be nice.
It is a movie where Zen advice sits right next to shattered furniture, and Jerry is here to celebrate every philosophical punch and every surprisingly thoughtful roundhouse.

Lace up and tune in as Jerry sprints through the dystopian chaos of the 1987 sci-fi spectacle set in the far-off future of 2019. This explosive action flick kicks off with a dance number choreographed by Paula Abdul and went on to inspire American Gladiators and the 90s arcade smash Smash TV.
Based on a novel by Richard Bachman, better known as Stephen King in disguise, this one’s packed with over-the-top kills, neon-soaked satire, and Arnold delivering lines so sharp they could cut steel. “Here is Subzero… now, plain zero.” “I’ll be back.” You know the rest.
So join Jerry for a look at one of the most underrated, over-the-top, and eerily prophetic action movies of the 80s. Because in this game, running is the easy part.

Lock your doors and keep the city at arm’s length, Jerry Horror prowls the blood-slick sidewalks of 1980 New York, where the night belongs to the desperate, the doomed, and the depraved. To save a few grimy dollars, the filmmakers cast real adult performers as victims, turning exploitation into art, or maybe the other way around.
The film was so drenched in violence and sleaze that the MPAA didn’t even bother rating it, knowing an X would’ve been a mercy. Gene Siskel stormed out mid-screening, declaring no movie could redeem itself after what he’d seen. And yet…it endures.
From the shadows of 42nd Street comes a film that defines grindhouse horror at its dirtiest and most disturbing. I warned you not to go out tonight!
But Jerry Horror went out anyway.
