Halloween is Forever ·

2025/07/07

Cuter and creepier than the Labubu craze sweeping the nation, we're searching for the most cute but creepy horror movie villain in ... Black Sheep (2006) vs Jurassic Park (1993) vs Zoltan: Hound of Dracula (1977) Can Steve baa-sh his opponents, or is he simply flocked? Will Louie have his opponents blinded, or is his pick built on action figure fiction? Is Brian set to be the leader of the pack, or is off on another Halloween puppy adventure?

Minisode 162: Draculaw (2023)

Halloween is Forever ·

2025/06/23

This week we're talking about a new to streaming indie film from Philadelphia. What if instead of blood, Dracula fed off of your time through frivolous lawsuits? Thus comes Draculaw! Brian and Steve discuss the horror comedy about lawyer vampires, restoring faith in the law, Looney Tunes monsters and Superman III plots. Plus we announce our July guest and give thoughts on the new Toxic Avenger trailer. Find Us Online- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/halloweenisforever/ Patreon:

Minisode 161: The Ugly Stepsister (2025)

Halloween is Forever ·

2025/06/16

This week Brian and Steve watch an early contender for best horror of 2025 in a twisted retelling of Cinderella from Norway. Also from Poland. And somehow Romania. The Ugly Stepsister reframes the classic tale from the point of view of the villain, much like Wicked. But instead of Ariana Grande, this film is full of blood, maggots, vomit and cum. Honestly, I haven't seen Wicked so I can't say those things aren't in it. Tune in as we talk about a movie more grim than the Brothers Grimm. Plus we

Minisode 160: The Monster Project (2017)

Halloween is Forever ·

2025/06/09

A vampire, a skinwalker, and a demon walk into a haunted house, Brian and Steve want to turn the movie off. After an unfair loss in the Korean Horror Showdown by audience vote, we're made to watch more sloppy found footage on Tubi instead of something awesome. The Monster Project is half a boring found footage, half a first person POV haunted house and neither the two shall gel. Plus there's some weird lazy racism and Christian messaging. We also get into Liquid Death acceptance, Guillermo Del

Episode 49: Korean Horror Showdown

2025/06/02

It's the first Monday in June in America, so you know what that means; we're coming out ... in favor of Korean horror films! And we'll find the best when it's ... Thirst (2009) vs Gonjiam: Haunted Ayslum (2018) vs Save the Green Planet! (2003) Can Brian slake his need for winning, or will his faith run dry? Can Dan represent the patrons to internet fame, or is he about to be institutionalized? Can Steve save his hopes of being champ again, or is it all a sad delusion? Tune in as three mutant

Minisode 159: Fear Street: Prom Queen (2025)

Halloween is Forever ·

2025/05/26

Brian and Steve watched the perfect horror movie for brainrotted, Draft Kings addicted, second screen young adults. Too bad they're old adults. Come for the soundtrack, stay for surprisingly well done brutality. Story and character motivation? Yeah they technically exist. Perhaps it's best we move on from the 80s. The kids in this film would be applying for their AARP cards and voting against their best interests now.Plus we announce our Korean horror films for June. Find Us

Minisode 158: The Hidden (1987)

Halloween is Forever ·

2025/05/19

Brian is dedicated to turning Steve into a Jack Sholder fan. First it was Renegades. Then he didn't hate Freddy's Revenge as much. And now he's trying to get Steve to love Kyle MacLachlan's first turn as an FBI agent. But before he chased the embodiment of evil in Twin Peaks, he chased a giant space slug beetle in LA. Part buddy cop. Part horror thriller. All fueled by yayo. Plus we talk Dune, Men In Black plagiarism, and announce our June Showdown Topic. Find Us Online- Instagram:

Halloween is Forever ·

2025/05/05

In a special mini-minisode, Steve is flying solo and talking about Sinners. After almost 6 days without electricity, schedules were ruined and the previously planned episode was postponed. Now Steve gives a shorter than usual review on the recent joint venture between Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan. Is it the best vampire film of the 21st century? The last decade? Maybe just the year? Tune in and hear more about it. Plus an update on the Showdown, Patreon and what Steve read by flashlight

Minisode 156: Frewaka (2024)

Halloween is Forever ·

2025/04/28

This week is steeped in Irish folklore as we talk about the recent Shudder exclusive Fréwaka from director Aislinn Clarke. Perhaps the most Irish film we've ever watched mixing faeology, historical trauma, and Catholic trauma. Then it does it all in Gaelic. A film's lore as rich as its cinematography, some are calling it the Irish Hereditary. It was Brian. Steve is sick and has some other things to say.

Another showdown, another loss. This month Kellie of the Final Girls took home the title and now she's making Brian and Steve watch her favorite dinosaur cat film. A surprisingly stacked cast full of hasn't beens, once weres, and never agains all take on a prehistoric beast on their vacation to Big Bear Lake. Karate and knife play from people who should never do either are their only hope. Also we find out what happened after Fievel went west.Plus we announce our May Showdown Topic Find more

Sea Fever (2019) vs Underwater (2020) vs Deep Rising (1998) vs Dagon (2001) Does Steve have the fever for more championships, or is he cursed by the Irish?

A slight delay in recording our April Showdown has us headed down a different road. The road of Stephen Cognetti's latest film and first diversion from the Hell House LLC franchise. Is 825 Forest Road the first in a new lineage of ghost tales, or is it a dead end? We discuss what works and a lot of what doesn't of this latest Shudder exclusive.

2025/03/31

This week we're getting put back in the retirement home. No not because we're old millennial podcasters, but because we're watching the latest Shudder release. The Rule of Jenny Pen features Geoffrey Rush as a judge being physically and psychologically tortured by John Lithgow with a puppet.

Halloween is Forever ·

2025/03/24

This week, by listener request, we go back to the 1950s with one of the genre classics. Based on the John P. Campbell story, "Who Goes There?" and would later inspire John Carpenter's 1982 masterpiece The Thing. We get into the comparisons of the film and discuss the context of the looming Red Scare and McCarthyism. We also spend a lot of time talking about dog wrestling. So, something for everyone.

Minisode 151: Boys From County Hell (2020)

Halloween is Forever ·

2025/03/17

It's the true story of St. Patty's Day! Saint Patrick didn't chase the snakes out of Ireland; he buried the original vampire under some rocks and that's why we all eat cabbage today because it looks like tiny boulders. Chat is this true? Guess you'll have to listen to this episode and watch this film to find out if that Bram Stoker was full of it. Also, find out if Brian drinks enough to attempt an Irish accent.

Minisode 150: Sharkenstein (2016)

Halloween is Forever ·

2025/03/10

From Mary Shelley's Frankenstein to very smelly Sharkenstein, our patrons having won last week's Showdown have decided to punish us appropriately. From the sick and twisted mind of Mark Polonia comes the tale of Tri-State Area terror. But not really. It's another junk slapdash video to trick high people on streaming using one of the three magic SEOs phrases of shark, Amityville or Bigfoot. We don't like it, but somehow it all ends up in a Chuck Tingle discussion. Plus we announce our April
