We're back to discuss the 2006 WWE slasher film, See No Evil! How is Kane as a slasher villain? Why would Jacob and his mother go to such lengths to hunt down someone who they can easily find? Why do all the dollar bills in this movie have no eyes? And we also discuss how this was the first movie we ever watched in theaters.

We're back with a new episode on the 1992 mockumentary, Ghostwatch!

Why is this sorority house miles away from civilization? And why is there MCU humor in this? We discuss all that and more in this episode!

We're back with a new episode on one of the best horror films you've never seen, Alison's Birthday! How much of an influence did this have on modern horror? Why don't they use an actual ouija board instead of a make shift one? Is Pete a scream king? And why would someone's 19th birthday be so important?

We're back to discuss the 1985 murder mystery, Clue! How exactly do you turn a board game into a film? Can any of these people even logically be the killer? Which ending is the best? Plus, we try to dissect the amazing comedic timing and the brilliant jokes.
