** ''Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers'' involves Michael forcibly raping his niece and impregnating her. Not only [[ThisIsWrongOnSoManyLevels does it seem so wrong on so many levels]], but it's entirely unnecessary. Michael is out to kill his remaining family. Now he's reproducing to make more family to kill? This is one of the main reasons why James blasted the producer's cut, despite it being the popular choice over the theatrical cut. He considers the latter to be more entertaining, whereas the former is just too messed up to justify its existence.

* {{Corpsing}}: The ''Film/HouseOnHauntedHill1959'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TpBnj-l3xTs review]] opens with a botched take of the "It's Cinemassacre's Mooooooooonster Madness!" intro where James loses it during the long O, which isn't used in any other video.

Driven by his love of horror and his love of cinema, James reviews one horror film every day in October. For the show's very first year, it was conceived as a horror history overview, and it then branching out into different sub-themes for subsequent years. Later years have undergone multiple format changes as well, although the general horror focus has remained consistent.

** ''Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed'' was a case of ExecutiveMeddling[[invoked]]. Frankenstein, played by Peter Cushing, decided to rape the beautiful inn keeper spontaneously. This had no place in the film at all other than make Frankenstein out to be a more horrible human being, which this and previous films did a great job of already. The meddling part came from the producers wanting the rape scene added in [[SexSells just for sex appeal]], despite protests from Peter Cushing and Terrance Fisher, and the scene being nowhere at all in the original script. James says it best:

* GratuitousRape: James criticized both ''Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers'' (the producer's cut), and ''Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed'' for including these in it. His reasoning is as follows:

* TitleScream: Comes in many variations, starting with Rolfe simply stating the name in the first iteration of the show, and having a much hammier variant in later years with "It's Cinemassacre's ''Mmmonster Maaaaadneeesss!''". The ''Camp Cult'' edition of the show even features fan versions of it.

For the first several years, the videos were hosted exclusively on James's website, [[http://www.cinemassacre.com/ Cinemassacre.com]]. Over time, as James and Cinemassacre's [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0M0rxSz3IF0CsSour1iWmw [=YouTube=]]] presence began to grow more and more, new ''Monster Madness'' episodes were shared on [=YouTube=] as well, which took over as the main hosting platform for a while. In 2021, however, a new version of the Cinemassacre site premiered, with the show's newest season returning to being hosted exclusively there.

It looks like the upcoming year of Monster Madness will return to being Cinemassacre-exclusive, with a revamped version of the site as well. Removing this for now, but I'll add a revised version once Monster Madness premiers and we see what the new format is like.

Looks like the "review archive" channel and all its videos have disappeared, so the playlists no longer work properly.
