Happy Thanksgiving! Today we're talking about...Thanksgiving! The latest slasher from established horror icon Eli Roth. We break down this movie and figure out where it lands in our ranking of Eli Roth's filmography. Also, having just watched The Green Inferno for the first time, we discuss this spiritual sequel to Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls in all its bloody glory. And of course we have to talk about the latest Scream 7 news of Melissa Barerra being fired from the movie. All this and much more! 

A lot has been happening in the world of horror and we talk about it all! We give our thoughts on Terrifier 3 and Art the Clown moving into the Christmas movie world, the unexpected sequel announcement to It Follows, Eli Roth's newest slasher Thanksgiving, and more! We also somehow end up talking about Twilight and Robert Pattinson as one of us recently watched all 5 movies. And after being blown away by our recent watch of When Evil Lurks, we discuss why this was a breath of disgusting air in the possession movie sub-genre. 

In this somewhat divisive episode, we discuss the latest horror classic remake by David Gordon Green. Did he fall short yet again or deliver a worthy product? Tune in to hear our thoughts on it! We also ponder the question: is The Exorcist truly the scariest movie of all time? Before we do that, we discuss the latest news of Miramax purchasing the Halloween rights. We throw out our ideas for where we'd like to see the franchise go! And as usual, we talk about a whole lot of other random nonsense as well. Thanks for tuning in and thanks for your patience with us releasing this cursed episode!    Outro song: Karl Casey- Atlas

There's been a lot going on in the world of horror news and today we cover it all! We discuss the Toxic Avenger and Street Trash remakes, the rumors of Blumhouse winning the rights to A Nightmare on Elm Street, and we try to figure out what the hell is going on with Scream 7. Before we do that, we discuss Cobweb, the Seth Rogen produced horror movie that flew under the Barbenheimer radar. Finally, we answer some listener submitted questions and lose our minds in the process! 

It's time to discuss the long-awaited A24 horror TALK TO ME. A movie that we were somewhat divided on going into this episode, we break down key moments from the movie and go into detail on why this movie ultimately did or didn't work for us. We get very real on this episode and talk about some things we've never discussed on the podcast while exploring some of the themes of this movie. So, light that candle, grab Doug's olive oil covered hand and lets get into it! 

The most anticipated sequel of the year is finally here! We both picked out another epic stack of tapes to discuss each one and their importance to us and our collection.

It's time for a review from the franchise that just won't quit, Insidious! Did Patrick Wilson deliver the goods with The Red Door or should they have called this The Red Snore?
