Last Updated on August 5, 2021

Every Friday, we gather all of this week's additions to our JoBlo Horror YouTube channel (check it out and subscribe HERE) together in one place. It's the AITH HORROR VIDEOS OF THE WEEK!

This week, the latest episode in our BEHIND THE (MOVIE) KILLER series investigated Patrick Bateman of AMERICAN PSYCHO, we shared Joshua T. Wagner's short horror film WAX as part of our ongoing horror short film showcase, we spent some time behind the scenes with action icon Matthias Hues, and took a look back at A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET: THE DREAM CHILD with a new episode of our THE F*CKING BLACK SHEEP series. All of these videos are embedded below.

PATRICK BATEMAN – Behind The Movie Killer

Horrific murders… unexplained phenomena… slashers, monsters, or worse… it's out there. Someone has to try and make sense of it all. That's where we come in. Please, join Special Agent Casper Bollocks (Mike Catalano) for in-depth looks into society's sickest psychotics. This is Behind the (Movie) Killer.

Patrick Bateman… American Psycho or mentally disturbed stockbroker? See for yourself as we take a trip back to the 80s and investigate why Mr. Bateman always needed to return those video tapes! We also have reservations at Dorsia for 8pm.

Wax – Short Horror Film

Logline: Taking a birthday surprise to a whole new level.

Synopsis: On the night of her birthday, a young lady comes home to an unwelcome surprise- wax figures. As she tries to figure out if this stunt is more of a bizarre joke or if it has more devious intentions, we realize that not all the figures are fake.

Director Statement: Drawing inspiration from such horror icons as Psycho, Halloween and House of Wax, I put together a short that I am extremely proud of and can not wait to share with the world. Anya's coming home to one hell of a birthday surprise. I hope you enjoy!

Crew: Writer/Director- Joshua T. Wagner / Director of Photography- Juan Soto / Special Effects Makeup- Riley Nightingall / Wax Title Sequence- Kevin Coshin

Cast: Anya- Alexis Yordon / The Wax Figures- Marcus Baker, Gabrielle Archambault, Quentin Brooks, Ben Beckel

MATTHIAS HUES – Behind the Scenes With!

Action/Sci Fi icon MATTHIAS HUES has been kicking ass and taking name in films for over 30 years now; he's done it all and seen it all! We're talking gems like I COME IN PEACE (A fav of mine, where's that sequel?), KICKBOXER 2: THE ROAD BACK, BOUNTY TRACKER, TC 2000, he even played a Klingon in STAR TREK 6 and was recently seen in the last PUPPET MASTER movie (The Littlest Reich).

Matthias was kind enough to take the time to film himself at his home in Bali to give us an in depth chat about his career and how fights scenes were done back then, compared to today! Amidst the funny anecdotes; he also focuses on his trial by fire experiences on two of his cult classic films: BLACK BELT (1992) and MISSION OF JUSTICE (1992). So get yourself a glass of wine (or a beer, or whatever your drink of choice is), kick back and enjoy this sit down with the great Matthias Hues! The video is really like chatting with an old friend. Honest, candid and amusing, I hope you enjoy it!

And if you want to hear more sordid tales from Mr. Hues, make sure to pick up his brutally honest and often funny memoirs SHIRTLESS IN HOLLYWOOD! GET IT HERE.

NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 5 – The Black Sheep

In the latest episode of The Black Sheep, we take a look back at Nightmare On Elm Street 5: The Dream Child. Starring Robert Englund, Lisa Wilcox, and Kelly Jo Minter, and is directed by the legendary Stephen Hopkins (director of Predator 2, Ghost and the Darkness, and Judgement Night). Released less than a year after The Dream Master, this under-performed at the box office compared to previous entries.  

Many fans consider this the beginning of the downfall of the Nightmare series but with an energetic directing style, bizarre kills, and bright ‘80s color palette, Nightmare On Elm Street 5: The Dream Child holds up better than most remember and fits right along with visual dreamscapes of the later sequels. Is Dream Child the Black Sheep of the series? Let’s nap on it!

Watch Dream Child here!
