    October – the most ominous and foreboding month. Every year, an event rises from the pits of Hell to cast its shadow across the land, spreading like a plague, sending an icy chill up the spines of all who fall in its path. It is known only as... OCTOBERAMA!!!!!! That's right, kiddies—our annual month-long celebration of all things spooky has arrived again! Our weekly event kicks off with Volume 1, Week of the Vampire, where we discuss two films about the blood-sucking, heliophobic creatures of lore: 30 Days of Night and Abigail. Before that, we sink our teeth into a healthy dose of Horror Business, including Real World Horror about Japanese scientists doing everything they can to bridge the uncanny valley and ensure the doom of the human race. Next, we take a look at a weekend sleepover event taking place at an iconic hotel... that has nothing to do with the hotel's legacy. Also, we go over the addition of two horror legends to an upcoming game, the likely unnecessary remake of a '90s thriller, an update on the remake of a classic monster movie, and the unfortunate (but hopefully temporary) demise of a titan of horror.

We also examine a Real World Horror story, wherein the clowns are back. A creepy clown has been doing... something that apparently a bunch of Scottish pearl clutchers are not finding the fun in. For Horror Business, we reveal who won the television rights to the Halloween franchise and discuss what the future holds, as well as an update on Guillermo Del Toro's Frankenstein, a zombie comic adaptation from the makers of Turbo Kid, and a new film packed with horror icons.

Up first is the 2019 horror comedy Little Monsters, featuring Lupita Nyongo and Josh Gad but NOT Ted McGinley.
