In keeping up with the spirit of Pride, Alexz's pick for this week is Yann Gonzalez's queer arthouse homage to Giallo films, KNIFE + HEART. Of course, Alexz was in love with its synthy score and the pre 80s time period. Ashley appreciated the lack of straight male gaze and its colorful cinematography. Jeanette explained what a fluffer was to Will, and he in turn told everyone what a darkroom is. Before the gang gets into the erotic who-dun-it slasher, Will watched the new episodes of BLACK MIRROR and has decided to dress as Ashley O this Halloween. Everyone cackles over a review of Danzig's VEROTIKA. Jeanette watched ARKHAM SANITARIUM: SOUL EATER, the first horror movie Alexz worked on. Ashley thinks INSIDIOUS is still enjoyable albeit its scariness not holding up, and she is lovingly revisiting the TV adaptation of HANNIBAL. Alexz still wonders what direction the new season of THE HANDMAID'S TALE is going in, and gives a review of WHEN THEY SEE US on Netflix. Jeanette and Alexz are excited by the DR SLEEP trailer and Ashley is interested in the news that BLACK CHRISTMAS is being remade. Jeanette has been watching her boyfriend play the RESIDENT EVIL 2: REMAKE and is excited to see the Fireflies return in Rob Zombie's 3 FROM HELL.

It's Pride month, and the Ghouls have a special guest, Will C! He's not as spooky as the rest of the ghouls, but they're actively trying to convert him and have him sign the Book of the Beast. Alexz finally watched PAN'S LABYRINTH. Both Ashley and Alexz watched the season premiere of BIG LITTLE LIES and the first three episodes of THE HANDMAID'S TALE. Alexz has been playing DARKWOOD on the Nintendo Switch and everyone else reminisces about playing UNTIL DAWN. Jeanette discovered a punk/metal radio station for the NJ/NY area and is intrigued by the new show on AMC, NOS4A2. Jeanette's friend created a horror short based on the Momo meme and she gives the dark backstory on how it went viral. Ashley laughed at how bad of a movie THE PREDATOR is, and also watched two new episodes of BLACK MIRROR. Jeanette and Alexz discuss future eps of INTO THE DARK. The group reveal who their favorite LGBTQ characters in genre are, how the BABADOOK inadvertently became a queer icon, and of course they each give their reviews and thoughts of the movie itself.

This week, Will is offsite entertaining a guest he summoned from the underworld while the rest of the ghouls saw GODZILLA: KING OF THE MONSTERS. Jeanette loved the soundtrack and the black metal-esque shots of King Ghidorah; while Alexz wanted more monsters and less family drama. Ashley goes off on a mini tangent about the New York Times reveal of aliens visiting Earth. Before they discuss the longest running franchise of all time, Ghoul Chat was invited to an intimate event for SCARY STORIES TO TELL IN THE DARK, and were able to converse with producer, Guillermo Del Toro, and director, Andre Ovredal. Alexz briefs everyone on BOOKSMART, BRIGHT BURN, ALADDIN, and MA. Ashley watched BLADE and THE PERFECTION. Jeanette puts THE EYES OF DARKNESS by Dean Koontz on the Ghoul Chat Book Club list, and she also saw the black metal band, Dark Funeral, in Brooklyn. Alexz and Jeanette have LORDS OF CHAOS on their radar and briefly go into the f*cked up true crime story behind the movie. Godzilla convo starts around 43:00 Please subscribe, rate and review us!

This week, Ashley finally gets to nerd out on her favorite horror film of as of late, Ari Aster's HEREDITARY. The gang dives into the mythology and Easter eggs of the world Aster created and how it emotionally and psychologically affected them. They also review Aster's short, THE STRANGE THING ABOUT THE JOHNSONS and discuss their hopes for MIDSOMMAR. Due to unfortunate circumstances, the first 45 minutes of our episode disappeared, so we can't weigh in on the new genre flicks that recently came out. However, the Ghouls hexed the podcast technology to ensure it doesn't happen again! Until next time.... --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

It's Jeanette's pick for this episode, so everyone watched the gory horror anime CASTLEVANIA on Netflix. We chat about the show's own take on the mythology of Dracula and also gush about how much we love vampire lore in general. Before we get into it, Jeanette assaults our heartstrings by revealing spoilers from A DOG'S JOURNEY, Will can only watch one act of SUSPIRIA (2018) at a time before falling asleep, and Alexz watched PHANTASM and THE DESCENT for the first time. She also didn't care for EXTREMELY WICKED, SHOCKINGLY EVIL, AND VILE and mentions how crazy the plot for RIVERDALE has gotten. Everyone is lukewarm on the last season of GAME OF THRONES, and the gang also reviews the new trailers for IT: CHAPTER TWO and MIDSOMMAR. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

This week, the Ghouls decided to tread through sour grounds to discuss Kevin Kolsch + Dennis Widmyer's 2019 remake of one of Stephen King's best stories, PET SEMATARY. Jeanette questions the characters' parenting skills, Will notices that everyone's eyes are barely open, Ashley wanted more creepy Victor and Zelda scenes, Alexz critiques some of the writing in the script, but everyone agrees Church the cat is the breakthrough performance and touch upon Mary Lambert's 1989 version. But before we get into the meat of it all…Alexz and Jeanette are starting a book club and recommends GLASS HOUSES by Rachel Caine and THE GRAVEYARD BOOK by Neil Gaiman.

The Ghouls are all back together again! Will is back from the dead, and we all saw Jordan's Peele's sophomore horror feature US. There is a very brief spoiler free review before we get into a deep discussion about the socio political themes that are subliminally in the message of the movie and its exploration of how trauma can change a person. It's not all serious; we talk about the fun Easter eggs Peele sprinkled throughout and our favorite kills! Before we get into that, Alexz basically spent her weekend at the cinema watching French genre films; Yann Gonzalez's highly stylized slasher KNIFE AND HEART, Gaspar Noe's psychedelic horror CLIMAX, and a midnight screening of 70s sci-fi movie FANTASTIC PLANET. Jeanette and Will were festive for St Patrick's Day and saw the new LEPRECHAUN. Will is rewatching all of GAME OF THRONES to prepare for the final season. Jeanette wants to go see BEETLEJUICE on Broadway. She also saw THE GIRL WITH ALL THE GIFTS and mentions its similarity to acclaimed video game LAST OF US, which reminds Ashley that its sequel is coming out soon. Will and Ashley were intrigued by the trailer for THE WIND, and Ashley is excited by the official trailer for MIDSOMMAR. Also, Ashley and Will spent their Saturday night watching various horror TV shows and movies, including THE GRUDGE and PARANORMAL ACTIVITY, and are horrifying enraptured by HBO's new crime doc THE CASE AGAINST ADNAN SYED.

Will is still trapped in another spiritual plane, but the rest of the Ghouls still got together for a quick conjuring. In this minisode they talk about spooky themed games of all kinds; Jeanette wants to get Sims 4: Vampires, Alexz has been playing Lairs of Fear, and Ashley wants to get Kingdom Hearts 3 and Resident Evil 2 Remake even though she's still too scared to play Until Dawn by herself. They also reminisce about board games like Life: Disney Haunted Mansion edition, Goosebumps, and make plans for a live episode playing Horror Trivial Pursuit. At the end they play a couple quick horror themed quizzes: “How Long Would You Last in a Horror Movie?” “What's this Horror Movie Tagline” and “Which Horror Villain Are You?” Thanks for tuning into this minisode! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Will isn't present for this episode, but he was definitely there in spirit. For the main discussion, the Ghouls weigh in on Lee Cronin's debut feature THE HOLE IN THE GROUND. Is the title a misdirect? Are there enough scares? Were they left with more questions than answers? But before they get into that...Jeanette walked in on Will watching the THE DESCENT. Alexz binged on genre all day and watched THE MUMMY, THE MUMMY RETURNS, HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL and THIRTEEN GHOSTS. Ashley has nothing but praise for season 3 of TRUE DETECTIVE.

On this episode, Ghoul Chat discusses the uncomfortable racial undertones, stereotypes and tropes that permeated black history in horror cinema from the early years of BIRTH OF A NATION to the recent GET OUT directed by Jordan Peele. The team reviews what's new in the genre world before diving into the main topic; Alexz, Jeanette and Simon give a quick, spoiler free review of GLASS. No one really cared for the artsy horror show that is VELVET BUZZSAW. Will and Jeanette started watching Netflix's new zombie horror series KINGDOM. Lastly, everyone discusses their latest binges in true crime docs: the appalling ABDUCTED IN PLAIN SIGHT and transfixing and f**ked up TED BUNDY TAPES, along with the backlash of the corresponding trailer for EXTREMELY WICKED, SHOCKINGLY EVIL AND VILE (why is the title this long?)

This week, the ghouls recap and review one of the most notable Christmas horror films in recent times: Michael Dougherty's KRAMPUS (2015). Before they dive in to discuss killer toys, gingerbread-men and rednecks, the gang recaps the holiday horrors of their weekend. Jeanette, Will and Ashley were scammed on Saturday by a Christmas themed mini amusement park in Long Island, NY. Alexz attended two white elephant parties and walked away with an advent calendar containing only cardboard and plastic, which prompted her to spend the rest of the weekend binge watching holiday movies, including SILENT NIGHT DEADLY NIGHT (1984). Will and Ashley were enamored with Yorgos Lanthimos' THE FAVOURITE (2018). Jeanette reviews the trailer for Jame's Gunn's BRIGHTBURN (2019) and everyone dissects the resurgence of Karyn Kusama/ Diablo Cody's JENNIFER'S BODY (2009) as an unsung hero when it comes to feminist horror.

Jeanette saw OVERLORD and she gives a quick review, Ashley and Alexz saw FANTASTIC BEASTS: CRIMES OF GRINDELWALD and both had a lukewarm reaction, and Will convinces Ashley to watch LOVE ACTUALLY and get into the Christmas spirit.
