🚨 New Episode! 🚨

TRIGGER WARNING: This episode includes a reference to su***de as it pertains to a character in the film.

Just when you thought we'd had enough of dodging Death's icy grip, we're back to tussle once again! Yes, indeed, on this episode we're heading back into the fiery blazes to close out the cataclysmic sequel, FINAL DESTINATION 2! 🏥🔥🚑

We survived many calamities (and possible brain bleeds) along the way as we talk possessed elevators, expository car rides, No Fear advertising, casual emergencies, crisis snack parties, and plenty more! Also on this episode, we profess our love for Rory, add the phrase "train of death" to our lexicon, make connections to SPEED, Uwe Boll, and MY BLOODY VALENTINE ('81), look deep into the logistics of these events, choose our favorite deaths, and propose a few changes to the finished product.

This was a fun one. Check it out! 🎧

This week we're (finally) wrapping up our conversation on FINAL DESTINATION 2 before we jump into holiday mode. It's been a minute since the first episode posted but, rest assured, there's still a ton of carnage (and explosions) in the second half of this movie to talk about. So be on the lookout for that on Thursday! 🏥🔥

(Listen here if you need to get caught up with Vol. 1 👇)

Also coming soon, we recorded a special Christmas episode talking about an infamous film we swore we'd never cover on this show. A special holiday gift from us to you. Stay tuned! 🎄🎁

🚨 New Episode!🚨

The jack o' lanterns are sagging and the candy is gone but the Halloween spirit is year-round, so we're bringing you another dose of spooky season with the conclusion of our talk on HALLOWEEN II! 🎃

We're doing what Nurse Karen fails so miserably at - putting this baby to bed (ba-dum-tss).

Along the way we talk doctor labyrinths, needle deaths, unimpressive surgical weapons, Celtic rituals, boring cops, '70s medications, and plenty more! We also invoke the name of Paul Stephen Rudd, marvel at Michael's medical knowledge, continue an endless stream of wig jokes, decide if Jimmy lives or dies, grapple with Laurie's role in the film, and add up the bodies from this bloody rampage. Check it out! 👇

Anyone have $5000 they can spare for a mostly inoperable replica of the greatest movie prop of all time?! 🎸

This is the Etsy seller we briefly mentioned (without knowing his name - Brian Williford!) on the first SLUMBER PARTY MASSSCRE II episode. Dude is out there doing the good work! 🤘

We take a spooky detour into Slumber Party Massacre II’s bizarre one-off guitar and the modern engineer trying to replicate it.

TRICK 'R TREAT (2007) 🎃

From Rebecca: Trick 'r Treat is an anthology presented in an unorthodox way. I love how all the vignettes are intertwined, and the Halloween feel of this movie is divine. I watch this every Halloween and anytime I want to get in the Halloween spirit.

31 Nights of Horror with One Dark Fright - Day 29 🎃

PUMPKINHEAD (1988) 🎃

From Tim: This movie scared the crap out of me as a kid. It's my favorite creature design in horror and just a great, bare bones revenge horror. Featuring a typically intense Lance Henriksen performance and a perfectly spooky atmosphere for the final days before Halloween!

31 Nights of Horror with One Dark Fright - Day 28 🎃

HAUNT (2019) 👹

From Ainslie: The better of haunted house horror movies, in my opinion. I'm genuinely terrified of haunted houses, and this movie got under my skin. Gory and unnerving!

Halloween Weekend horror playlist! 🎃📻🎃

Came up with a list of great songs appearing IN horror movies. No scores, just songs. Only one per movie. I noted the movie they appear in with each title. Some of them were recorded for the film (my favorites) and some were pre-existing jams, but they're all gold! 🎶

31 Nights of Horror with One Dark Fright - Day 27 🎃

THE AUTOPSY OF JANE DOE (2016) 🩻

From Rebecca: This one is a great horror-mystery. A coroner and his son are doing an autopsy on a (you guessed it) Jane Doe, and in the process, uncover bizarre clues to who this mysterious woman may be. Suspenseful and creepy, it's a perfect Halloween weekend watch.
