Spooktober marches on and as it does I continue to make Newski (who hates horror) watch a classic horror movie EVERY SATURDAY THIS MONTH! We’ll be hitting all the big ones - Aliens, Ghosts, Vampires, Werewolves and Zombies. So sit back, pour yourself a Bloody Mary and join us on this journey!
This week we’re talking to the TV, playing with our dining chairs, and swimming through a graveyard, all while discussing the 1982 ghostly classic ‘Poltergeist’.

It stars JoBeth Williams, Craig T. Nelson, Heather O'Rourke and Beatrice Straight, and was produced by Spielberg and Frank Marshall.

Wondering what happened to episode 200? Don’t worry - You haven’t missed anything. Due to our ongoing lockdowns in Australia, we have postponed our Lord of the Rings spectacular until we can gather in person again. It’ll come!
The Sixth Sense is a 1999 American supernatural psychological thriller film written and directed by M. Night Shyamalan. It stars Bruce Willis as a child psychologist whose patient (Haley Joel Osment) can talk to the dead. The film established Shyamalan and introduced the cinema public to his traits, most notably his affinity for surprise endings.
