The Witching Season
Happy Halloween! We wrap up our fifth and final Halloween episode of the season with The Witching Season, a micro-budget, Halloween-soaked horror anthology that began as a web series and plays like five connected episodes. We talk about how
Night of the Demons (2009)
We continue our October Halloween lineup with 2009’s remake/reimagining of Night of the Demons, comparing it to the campy 1988 original we still have a soft spot for. We talk about what made the first film iconic—Angela’s weird energy, the
WNUF Halloween Special
In week three of our Halloween series, we finally tackle the long-requested 2013 analog horror/comedy WNUF Halloween Special, framed as a found VHS tape recording of a 1987 local newscast and a live call-in seance. We dig into how convincin
Halloween H20
We kick off Halloween week two with 1998’s Halloween H20 (“H2O”), the franchise revival that leans hard into the late-’90s slasher wave (Scream, I Know What You Did Last Summer) and largely ignores the earlier sequels. We talk about why the
Hack-O-Lantern
We kick off Halloween season by diving into 1988’s direct-to-video oddity Hack-O-Lantern, a surprisingly decent-looking but truly terrible, wildly entertaining Satanic cult slasher loaded with Halloween atmosphere, costumes, parties, and pl
Phantasm II
We return with a tribute episode honoring the late Reggie Bannister, the longtime anchor of the Phantasm series, by diving back into 1988’s Phantasm II. We talk about Bannister’s unique career and background and how Reggie evolves here into
Good Boy
THE DOG DOESN’T DIE! Don’t worry, folks. With that out of the way, we dig into 2025’s Good Boy, a low-budget haunted-house horror told largely from a dog’s perspective, and talk about why it’s basically 75 minutes of being up close with Ind
Lake Mungo
We dive into 2008’s Lake Mungo, an Australian found-footage/mockumentary that surprised us with how authentic and well-acted it feels, more like a traditional documentary than a jump-scare horror film. We walk through the central tragedy of
Legend
This week we pay tribute to an actor that means so much to both of us, Tim Curry, and his performance as Darkeness in Ridley Scott’s “Legend”. We reflect on how much he meant to us across roles like Rocky Horror, Clue, Pennywise, and extens
Stree
This week, we dive into 2018’s Stree, a hugely popular Indian horror-comedy inspired by the “Nalay Ba / Come Tomorrow” urban legend, and one of the first mainstream Bollywood hits to lean into folklore rather than cheesy haunted-house or re
In The Mouth Of Madness
We return with a tribute episode honoring Sam Neill, reflecting on his legacy from Jurassic Park to Possession and Dead Calm, and how his passing at 78 hit us. For this tribute, we dive into John Carpenter’s In the Mouth of Madness (1994),
They Will Kill You
We dive into the brand-new 2026 Amazon release ‘They Will Kill You,’ filmed in Cape Town, and talk about why the trailer (and Patricia Arquette) pulled us in. We break down the movie’s hyper-stylized, Tarantino/Raimi/Rodriguez vibe, martial
A Nightmare On Elm Street 4: The Dream Master
We celebrate our 500th episode by diving into 1988’s A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master and why it feels like the “MTV Nightmare”—fast, colorful, wildly visual, and packed with some of the series’ most inventive kills. We talk Re
Hell High
Very positive feelings about Hell High, a seemingly-forgotten little gem from 1989. Sure, it’s a bit dumb, even laughably bad at times, but all the other bits fall into place – the cinematography, the score, the acting – to the point where…
Heretic
This week, we discuss Craig’s pick, A24’s 2024 horror film Heretic, noting its strong reviews, the writers’ long theology research, and how it rewards rewatching. We praise the film’s claustrophobic, dimly lit first half as Hugh Grant’s Ree
Pandemonium
We head into horror-comedy with Pandemonium (1982), a PG-rated slasher parody Todd discovered while looking into Paul Reubens’ filmography. Despite an “insane” cast packed with recognizable comedians and performers, we talk about why the mo
Motel Hell
We head back to 1980 for a horror-comedy detour with Motel Hell, a quirky, blackly comic cult favorite that we both remembered more fondly than it played this time around. We talk about the film’s odd tone, slow pacing, and the Texas Chain
Winnie The Pooh: Blood And Honey 2
We tackle Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2 thanks to a patron request, expecting another cheap public-domain cash grab after the poorly reviewed first film, but we’re surprised by the improved budget, production value, and approach. We di
Color Out Of Space
We tackle 2019’s ‘Color Out of Space,’ a Nicolas Cage-led adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft’s story, inspired by our recent disappointment with ‘The Curse.’ We talk about why Cage is unfairly maligned, how this film captures Lovecraft’s bleak, u
Night School
We dig into the 1981 slasher Night School, drawn in by Mark Irwin’s cinematography and the film’s giallo-inspired mystery setup. Shot on location in Boston, it leans on familiar tropes—black gloves, an obscured killer, and a whodunit invest
The Curse
This week we tackle 1987’s The Curse, an Italian-made, sequels-in-name-only entry starring Wil Wheaton and loosely adapting H.P. Lovecraft’s “The Color Out of Space” with a Reagan-era farming backdrop. We dig into the film’s infamous behind
Impetigore
We jump back into international horror with Joko Anwar’s 2020 Indonesian folk-horror hit, Impetigore, a Shudder release that earned major festival acclaim and became Indonesia’s Oscar submission. We talk about how the film’s Jakarta-to-remo
Mausoleum
We take ChatGPT’s recommendation and dive into the bizarre supernatural horror film Mausoleum (1983), a movie with a strange backstory that includes alleged mob funding and later rights disputes. We talk about how hard it is to find, why it
Man's Best Friend
We tackle John Lafia’s 1993 creature feature Man’s Best Friend, a bizarre blend of family-comedy vibes and gory killer-dog horror starring Ally Sheedy and Lance Henriksen. After breaking into the Emax lab for a story, reporter Lori inadvert
