It's the end for Jason Voorhees... but the moment has been prepared for. In this case, Michael Bay prepared a flashy 00s reboot with plenty of nods to the original and plenty of unusual choices that we dig into as we examine the final installment of the Friday the 13th series!

Before he was the fantasy equivalent of George Lucas, Peter Jackson was a scrappy independent film maker from New Zealand with a penchant for gross-out horror comedies. If you've ever wondered how one Peter Jackson became the other Peter Jackson, come take a deep dive with us into 1996's 'The Frighteners' and see how a movie full of CGI ghosts and relentless pursuit became the failure he needed to make all his future successes!

Time to take a deep dive into the waters of magical realism, as we take a look at what's beneath the surface of Guillermo del Toro's Oscar-winning masterpiece THE SHAPE OF WATER! Don't worry, there's nothing fishy going on here--this production went swimmingly! (I promise, I don't do these aquatic puns in the actual episode. This is just for the halibut.)

There's lurid and there's lurid, there's trashy and there's trashy, and then there's the champion of sleazy exploitation, 'Pieces'! Come and listen to a discussion of chainsaw murders, male frontal nudity, waterbed stabbings, and just about everything else the director could toss into a classic of the Eurosleaze genre.

And if you only watch one thing from it, watch this clip:

As we begin 2021's Spooky Season, there's no better place to start than with a landmark of the genre, George Romero's seminal zombie apocalypse film NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD. We discuss fallout shelter etiquette, Vietnam allegories, and the literal and figurative conflict between generations as we tackle one of the finest horror movies ever made.

It's Halloween weekend, and you know what that means--time to spend a little while breaking down a classic episode of Elvira's Movie Macabre from 1983! This time out she's showing 1973's "The Devil's Wedding Night", and man. If you love Italian grindhouse cinema, you are in for a blood bathing, twin confusing, vampire fighting, lesbian sex-filled treat! We get into every detail, including the film's connections to Wagnerian opera, and celebrate the end to another year's glorious Spooky Season with the Mistress of the Dark.

More and more mutant babies are being born every day, and the government has decided to kill them in the delivery room rather than see them survive. Is it a metaphor for the generational clash that defined the 60s? Is it a commentary on the complicated fears surrounding parenting? Is it another Larry Cohen exploitation flick that we're about to do a deep dive into? The answer to all of it is "yes"!

Spooky Season just wouldn't be spooky without a little dip into found footage, and they don't come much better than 2007's Spanish classic, 'Rec'! So come ride along with our crew of first responders and our TV journalists as they stumble into a nightmare of claustrophobia, paranoia, and the most ferocious gaggle of zombies this side of '28 Days Later' as we take a deep dive into a modern classic!

Sometimes when you're in a hole, the only thing you can do is dig deeper. And 'Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers' certainly decided to dig in deeper, on the Man in Black and the mysterious runic tattoo and the whole weird mess of a mythos that 'Halloween 5' saddled us with. So join us as we dig as well, into this troubled production and everything that made it the wonderful mess it became!
