Jennifer’s Body is a cult classic. And like most cult classics, there are lots of rumors around it. We think it is okay, but there are fans out there who absolutely love the 2009 film. Every few years, talk of a sequel heats up before going away. This time, there seems to be more truth to the rumors. We have mixed opinions about Robert Eggers working on A Christmas Carol. On one hand we enjoy both. Eggers is a master at his craft and the Charles Dickens work is the seminal Christmas ghost story. But

Mike Flanagan is one of the best horror directors out there. This week we have a lot to say about him - and not all of it is good. We talk about the upcoming Carrie series and what it means for his Exorcist movie. We also talk about how we do not care about the upcoming The Life of Chuck. We are interested to see what Blumhouse wants to do with the Saw franchise though.It has been a while since we have covered a horror movie out of Mexico. Yeah, we do not want to have anything to do with pandemic

The success of the latest Final Destination movie is one of the biggest surprises of the first part of the year. Even more shocking is a reported incident from Argentina that is one of the truest cases of life imitating art ever seen. Deadly truth, false internet reporting, or best marketing ever? We finally saw our first look at the It prequel series Welcome to Derry and neither of us were particularly impressed. Of course, we will be watching the HBO Max show, but the trailer was very

We have had many discussions about The Texas Chainsaw Massacre on our humble little podcast. In recent months, we have also talked a lot about Osgood Perkins. We never thought the two of them would come together. The rumor is that may be happening. The question becomes, is that a good thing?We are big enough to admit when we are wrong. Last week, we correctly predicted that the new Final Destinations movie would be number one a the box office. In doing so, we were very dismissive of the franchise

A few months back we had a chance to see Clown in a Cornfield. On last week’s show we reminded everyone that it was coming to theaters. Its box office performance was still surprising to us. We also talk about how well the new Final Destination movie will probably do- even though it probably shouldn’t.We have had a great time with the last two releases from Osgood Perkins. His next film looks like it is going to be awesome. Just check out the hour long promo that was recently revealed. Something

There has been a lot of talk around Sinners. Good, bad, or ugly, everyone seems to have an opinion about it. Is it really the best movie of the young year? Is it grossly overrated? Something else entirely? Whatever the case, audiences are going out to see it in drovers. What is being overlooked by many is the biggest irony surrounding it.We spend a lot of time talking lovingly of the theater experience. It was a big part of growing up and still remains fun even as adults. So it sucks to hear when

We talk about our memories of the movie, why it tends to be overlooked, and whether we are looking forward to it.During our last show, we talked about the awesome marketing behind Weapons.

We have made no secret that we do not take the Oscars seriously. Like everybody else, we enjoy making predictions and second guessing the winners, but we also know they are a joke. We had no idea just how far that joke went. This week, the Academy made a shocking change that was impossible for us to ignore. We also talk about the recent cast announcements for the Ready or Not sequel.For as long as people have shared scary stories, trauma has been a part of them. There is nothing more terrifying than

How much did we love Barbarian? Go back and listen to the episode and check it out. You can probably guess that we are very interested in the new movie from its writer-director. And if we already weren’t, the creepy website would easily suck us in. The Hell House LLC franchise is an underrated series that are excellent examples of found footage horror. The news that the final installment comes out later this year is certainly excit- wait. It’s not going to be found footage?Anyone who has ever spent

Any time we have mentioned Death Stranding on our humble little podcast, it has lead to chuckles. The news that it is been adapted to film by A24 just has us dumbfounded. We also talk about the awesomely named Evil Dead Burn. There are some things that we were happy to hear, though there is some cause for worry.Heart Eyes is the perfect date movie for the horror fan in your life. It is charming, funny, sweet, and scary.

Last year there was talk of the new Strangers trilogy all being released in the same year. Perhaps wisely, that never happened. Instead, it is replacing a popular franchise on this year’s release schedule. Friday the 13th is one of the most well-known horror franchises of all time. We were excited to hear that a prequel series would be coming. Years ago, Crystal Lake went quiet and we pretty much forgot about it. Out of nowhere, a recent casting announcement was made, and it’s a good one that has

Single White Female from 1992 is an interesting movie. It seemed to be a big deal at the time, but neither of us remember anything about it. The rumors of Jenna Ortega starring in a remake are certainly interesting, however. The Saw franchise brings back a lot of pleasant memories. Sure, the vast majority of them are tied to the first, but the same can be said about most long running movie series. Naturally, we have opinions about the cancellation of Saw XI and its future.Though we do not have the

A Quiet Place is a new addition that has released two installments and a prequel. Each has done well but is a third one pushing their luck?There will never be a dearth of Stephen King adaptations to watch. He has an endless well of work for filmmakers to pull from.

The Monkey has had a creative marketing run. Rejection emails, funny posters, and an interesting Super Bowl halftime show were all a part of it. This also meant that the actual movie had a lot to live up to. Tonally, it is exactly what some might have expected. But what about those who didn’t know what they were getting into?The trailers focus on the most outrageous aspects of the plot, but how it came across on screen may be surprising to some.

A few weeks back we lamented on the lack of fantasy movies. They were a part of our childhoods that we love and missed. As if on cue, we talk about the news regarding the new Red Sonja movie - another childhood favorite. We also revisit Dead Mail before it debuts on Shudder in April.The 1970s were the peak of nunsploitation. It would not last long, but a number of memorable nun horror films were released.

Labyrinth is a cult classic. But how did things get to this point? We have contrasting memories of its initial popularity. And we both agree it is not the best work from any of the major players involved. Now that Robert Eggers is involved with the sequel, what does the future hold?What does it mean when a film is described as Lynchian? From what we can tell, the definition has changed over the years. The only reason we are even covering 2016’s Always Shine is because the word often used to describe
