How To Love The Dark

Our wonderful guest Mike Robles has brought this week's movie to the table and it's Haunt! This movie about a haunted house that pushes the boundaries too far and murders its patrons provided an interesting discussion!   Our Ranking The DIE-erarchy Our Discord Our Twitter Our Instagram

This one kind of defies description.  Straight from the mind of Jodorowsky we have a surrealist slasher pic from 1989 that you really just need to watch. Our Ranking The DIE-erarchy Our Discord Our Twitter Our Instagram

For the first time ever we cover an animated film! Satoshi Kon's classic thriller about fame and murder, Perfect Blue, is one of Aaron's favorite animated movies ever.  Will Torin and Ana be similarly enthused? Or will Ana's longtime distaste for anime mean this movie will be going toward the bottom of the list? Our Ranking The DIE-erarchy Our Discord Our Twitter Our Instagram

We finish off the Candyman franchise with the 2021 requel.  We discuss how to rank a villain for the DIE-erarchy when requels are involved and we talk about this movie's interesting additions to the Candyman canon. Our Ranking The DIE-erarchy Our Discord Our Twitter Our Instagram

Candyman moves from The Windy City to The Big Easy with this admittedly lackluster sequel to our favorite 90s urban gothic romance! Will this mean that the Scare-ometer can take a break from rising? We shall see. Our Ranking The DIE-erarchy Our Discord Our Twitter Our Instagram

Can this urban gothic 90s classic charm Torin and Ana, or is Aaron going to be the only one hooked by Tony Todd's terminally sweet performance. Our Ranking The DIE-erarchy Our Discord Our Twitter Our Instagram

After finishing the classic that is The Shining, we obviously had to cover this sequel/adaptation of a sequel... This movie has a weird job to do continuity-wise, but that doesn't matter to us.  What matters is: Is it good?

Many fans of the series consider this one of the best? Is it due to Corey Feldman's monster makeup savant skills? Crispin Glover's dancing? Or a certain character's ability to narrate his own murder?  We're officially one third of the way through the Friday the 13th series after watching this one.   Follow us on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/How2LoveTheDark See our current ranking of every movie we've watched: https://letterboxd.com/gunsgodsghosts/list/official-how-to-love-the-dark-film-ranking/

Scandinavian horror about terrifying superpowered children? This movie was basically made for Aaron.  Will Ana and Torin feel the same?

In the words of Mike Patton, "What is it?".  We endeavor to answer that on this double episode, covering both parts of the newest It adaptation.

We cover the 1990 TV Miniseries adaptation of Stephen King's It! Featuring a guest appearance from our good friend and the overseer of our marriage, Ben Prisbylla! Will Ana and Torin love this 3+ hour adaptation? 

Our crew goes over the not-a-sequel Fright Night 2, directed by Eduardo Rodriguez before we do a over-haul of our ranked horror movie list! Each of us did our own ranking and then Aaron put them all together to see how things shook out. Listen in to see what our top, mid, and bottom picks are now!

Continuing on with the Fright Night films Aaron shows Ana and Torin one of the few remakes from this era that were any good, possibly even better than the original? 

Glampires baby! This movie has it all... including Uncle Rico from Napoleon Dynamite.  Does that mean Ana and Torin will like it? Listen to find out.

We start the Fright Night franchise off with Tom Holland's 1985 campy vampire flick. Then Torin introduces a new bit of science for the show! Buckle in, the monster mash has commenced.

Aaron loved this 2021 American giallo tribute directed by James Wan. Will Ana and Torin love Gabriel as much as Aaron loves Gabriel? 

Aaron shows the gang his favorite movie from 2021! Will they love it as much as he does?

Night of the Creeps is a knowing pastiche of many horror tropes of both the era it was authored in and the era before.  Will Torin and Ana appreciate it the same way Aaron does?

We've gone too many episodes without talking about John Carpenter.  In The Mouth of Madness is a perfect midpoint between Stephen King and H.P. Lovecraft's horrific styles. Did Ana and Torin appreciate this underloved part of Carpenter's oeuvre? 

Death to Videodrome! Long live the New Flesh! 

We finally stop raising hell in order to watch a good old fashioned home invasion movie! See what Torin and Ana think of this horror indy darling.

Our first ever double header to finish out the Hellraisers (until next year when we cover the David Bruckner-led reboot! Are these last two Hellraisers the best the series has to offer? Maybe... ...No, they are not.

We take another break from raising hell to cover Drew Goddard's meta-as-hell thrill ride The Cabin In The Woods! We talk about all the references, homages and fan theories! 

We have some sights to show you? Listen in to hear our crew's thoughts on Pinhead's identity crisis while we discuss the 8th installment of the franchise: Hellworld. 

Back when we first started this podcast, our friend Del asked specifically to be on the episode for Hellraiser: Deader, the seventh movie in the franchise. Can he convince the gang that this is "one of the good ones" in the franchise? 

We watch another direct-to-video Hellraiser movie, this time starring Dean Winters! Will this one be better than the last? Will it be so bad that the group decides to fix up the list instead of talking about this terrible movie any more? (Hint: Yes)

We're back into Hellraiser mode and boy is this a weird one.  It's a neo-noir slog that includes martial arts practicing cowboys for some reason.  Tune in!

We take a break from raising hell to enjoy this campy monster fest from last year.  Will this movie's charm win over Ana and Torin? Listen to find out!

Our crew dives headfirst into the history of the lament configuration... whether or not Pinhead considers this a waste of good suffering has yet to be seen.

Did you want a cenobite who shot CDs out of his face? No? Uh oh. 

The first Hellraiser had such sights to show Ana and Torin, but we're all sort of waiting for the other shoe to drop... and by the other shoe I mean the level of quality within the Hellraiser franchise. 

We begin our descent into the Hellraiser franchise with the OG.  Will Torin regret asking to cover this franchise right from the start? Or is he in for the long haul with his new cenobite pals?
