Kill By Kill: Talking Horror Characters One Death At A TimeAuthor: We Write Good
In each episode, Patrick Hamilton and Gena Radcliffe unpack all the gory details of horror cinema's least discussed topic: the characters. From Friday the 13th to the Evil Dead franchise and beyond, our mission is to detail each hack, slash, and decapitation in the hopes that a victim's untimely end is just the beginning of the jokes we can make about them.

Scanners (1981)
Episode 27
Friday, 12 December, 2025
There are 8.3 billion people in the world, and only 237 of them are Scanners. And one Scanner is the most boring man in the world. The rest of them are some real firecrackers! That’s right, we’re getting to the cold, frigid truth this week as we talk about the ultimate movie in telepathic horror, 1981’s SCANNERS!! Along the way, we explore the writer/director David Cronenberg’s influences, how the Canuxsploitation scene took shape, and the real-life cults that gave birth to the film’s underground of mutants!! All this, plus Hot Pogos, inappropriate leg stabilizers, a Dr. Ruth, some landboats, inept assassin squads, homework assignments, Herman Brood and His Wild Romance, and a mind-melting edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure!!
