Our horror movie spotlight shines brightly on the cult classic "Night of the Demons," a film that mixes the eerie with the hilarious, much like our own banter. We chat about the iconic scream queen Linnea Quigley and the intriguing pet psychic Amelia Kincaid, who bring a unique flair to this 80s gem. As nostalgia flows, so do the memories of Blockbuster nights and the debate over cuddly pets versus reptiles, setting the stage for our dive into more holiday-themed episodes.
Brace yourself for tales of cheesy puns, demonic antics, and survival tips you never thought you'd need, like why funeral homes aren't the best playgrounds. We wrap up with a look at urban legends, touching on the infamous razor blade in Halloween candy myth, and a nod to the sci-fi horror flick "Virus" with Jamie Lee Curtis.
