The boys are back. In black. Because they were killed and buried in black funeral attire and then got better. Better enough to review Climax, The Quatermass Trilogy, Deadly Games, Archenemy, #Alive, Some Kind of Hate, The Night Eats the World, and the Call of Cthulhu 7th Edition Malleus Monstrorum. Totally worth the return.

Episode 199 - Merry Christmas 15: Deathcember (2019)
Think covering one film isn't enough? Well, the duo discuss Deathcember (2019), comprising 26 holiday-themed short horror films, although with that marathon number it gets a bit lax on "holiday-themed" and "horror." Let's see how this film's hit-to-miss ratio works out . . .
Episode 198 - Merry Christmas 14: Nackles & Nicholas Was...
An invigorating spritz of an episode after the dregs of last week, as the duo cover two short works of Christmas-themed horror: "Nackles" by Donald Westlake, about the origins of Santa's rival; and "Nicholas Was" by Neil Gaiman, about a captive Santa who longs to retire.
Episode 197 - Merry Christmas 13: Hanukkah (2019)
Our holiday selections have us digging through the bottom of the barrel, and we've done it, folks, we've covered the worst movie ever. Join us for a discussion of Hanukkah (2019), the abysmal slasher that somehow roped in Sid Haig and Dick Miller, a film that's even worse for the Jews than Harvey Weinstein . . . and it's made by a goyim! What a schmendrick! It's a shonda! Other Yiddish phrases!
Episode 196 - Creeping Dread 3: She Dies Tomorrow (2020)
The duo discuss the 2020 critical darling "She Dies Tomorrow." She may die tomorrow, but don't let her die with your five bucks in her pocket. We discuss why, even if you were interested in watching a movie about transmittable anxiety, this one ain't worth your time.
Episode 195 - Creeping Dread 2: It Follows (2014)
The duo reexamines the 2014 indie horror phenomenon "It Follows." Stupid kids in the land of dream logic, the psychological pain of being an ugly man in the movie, and the answers to some of the odder questions about the premise. And we got solutions. Check it out!
Episode 194 - Creeping Dread 1: Anguish (2015)
The duo discuss Anguish (2015), an underseen film about a teenage girl who becomes possessed by another girl... or is it all in her mind? It could have been a whole different type of film if they'd used a line of dialogue for the title: "I think my daughter is inside your daughter.”
Episode 193 - Trick 'R Treat (2007) Halloween Spectular
The duo decide on an extra episode for Trick r Treat, revisiting the 2007 anthology film that everyone seems to love as they struggle to figure out why the movie doesn't work for them. Probably because there's no shirtless Dylan Baker.
Episode 192 - Horror Roundup, October 2020, Part 3
In this, the spookiest month of the year, the gang gets terrifying with The WNUF Halloween Special, Jaws the novel, Scare Me, Sweet Home, Unsane, the Manley Wade Wellman Silver John stories, Z, The Taking of Deborah Logan, Freaks, and Get Duked. What, did you expect something more halloweeny? Go watch that new Adam Sandler movie if that’s what it takes to please you.
Episode 191 - Horror Roundup, October 2020, Part 2
The gang is still live, still in person, and still using mics like professionals. Today's roundup includes Lake of Death, Itsy Bitsy, Host, Dark Waters, and Get In. Nobody living in a pocket butt dimension this week, sorry folks.
Episode 190 - Horror Roundup, October 2020, Part 1
The gang is live and in person and forget that both need to be the same distance from the mic when doing that. That's not going to stop them from reviewing some gems like Butt Boy, The Shed, Ghost Stories, I'm Thinking of Ending Things, and Thelma. You already know which is going to be the best of these five.
Episode 189 - 27 Ghosts
The duo have some wacky fun imagining about 13 new ghosts each for their imagined sequel. 27 ghosts, that's more than twice as many ghosts as in the original, c'mon people!
Episode 188 - I Think You'll Like 4: The Church (1989)
The duo weird it up with the Derek-recommended 1989 Italian demon film "The Church." J.R. presents his theory that Italian horror is like anime, and Derek learns that teenage Derek and present-day Derek may have different tastes.
Episode 187 - I Think You'll Like 3: After Midnight (2019)
J.R. disappoints Derek with his recommendation of After Midnight (2019), an offbeat monster movie / romance that charmed J.R. but left bitter ole Derek's cold heart unmoved. Grab your Peanut Butter & Jelly wine and prepare to miss your $4.99.
Episode 186 - I Think You'll Like 2: Thir13en Ghosts (2001)
Soon after 9/11, one Hollywood film was brave enough to feature three Arabic leads, the first studio film to ever do so. Critics couldn't stand the film, searching for a pretext like "seizure-inducing" to hate on it. That trailblazing film was Thir13en Ghosts. Finally, join us as we cover this momentous film.
Episode 185 - I Think You'll Like 1: The Dirties (2013)
J.R. recommends to Derek "The Dirties," the 2013 found footage film about a potentially brewing school shooting. For supposedly budding psychopaths, the two leads Matt Johnson and Owen Williams seem pretty awesome to hang out with. Come join us, it's time to get dirty!
Episode 184 - Horror Documentary 3: Cropsey (2009)
The duo discuss Cropsey, the 2009 documentary ostensibly about the "Cropsey" urban legend about a murderer who targets campers, but is actually about a child abductor who is (maybe?) the inspiration for the Cropsey legend. A bait and switch to lure you in. You know who else makes use of those? Child abductors. COINCIDENCE OR DOES IT ALL TIE TOGETHER, MAAAAAN!
Episode 183 - Horror Documentary 2: Haxan (1922)
The duo discuss Haxan, the 1922 Scandinavian silent-film quasi-documentary based on the Malleus Maleficarum that probably inspired the best imagery in your favorite metal videos.
Episode 182 - Horror Documentary 1: The Nightmare (2015)
The duo discuss The Nightmare (2015), a documentary about sleep paralysis. Or, well, eight weird peoples' weird impressions of sleep paralysis, and then their impression of some other stuff because it's hard to make a 90 minute feature about 8 people babblin'.
