    Sheamus and Casey get uncomfortable with another 21st century horror masterpiece, Let The Right One In (2008). While trying to determine whether the film is more about the terrors of adolescence, bad romance, or poor parenting, Sheamus takes potshots at the American remake he may or may not have seen, Casey gets sweaty discussing gender and an unnerving “fun fact,” and together the boys get lost trying to work out their recollections of a family ski trip. It all relates to Swedish vampires, we swear.

    Sheamus and Casey skip ahead to the 21st century with Twilight (2008), and debate the movie's contribution to vampire cinema to perhaps surprising conclusions. Is Edward Cullen a romantic vampire or a gross vampire? Is Bella Swan more Lois Lane or Tony Stark? Is Charlie Swan, as played by Billy Burke, the ultimate sad dad? These questions are more-or-less answered, and along the way Casey discloses how Robert Pattinson helped to shape the man that he is today, for better or for worse.

They compare and contrast the two different takes on the vampire myth embodied by Max Schreck and Bela Lugosi, determine the unsung MVP character of the Dracula story, and get caught up in nostalgia for childhood talent shows. Again.

    Sheamus and Casey make their opening arguments as to why vampires are the ultimate movie monster. In the process, they muse about growing up as horror fans and reminisce about vampires in videogames, on VHS, and as a classic Halloween costume.
