The brother of the first film's tragic Heather seeks answers to what happened to his sister in the same woods she disappeared in. Will he find what he's looking for? Did we find a good movie? Find out tonight!

Which witch is which? And more importantly, which witch is best? That's the big question on the lips of the Empire Podcast team this week, as Chris Hewitt, Helen O'Hara, and James Dyer discuss their favourite movie witches, and ask if the Blair Witch is even a witch at all (we wouldn't say it to her face, mind). Speaking of witches, Zach Cregger created a truly memorable one last year with Aunt Gladys in Weapons, and now the director is already back with his latest movie, a reimagining of the survival horror video game Resident Evil, and Chris has a fun Zoom with Cregger and his star, Austin Abrams. Oh, and Chris, Helen and James also look at the week's movie news, featuring a whole bunch of trailers and an unexpected Vin Diesel Instagram post, and review Resident Evil (or, in Chris' case, the first 30 minutes), Bad Apples, In The Grey, Shaun The Sheep: The Beast Of Mossy Bottom, and Pulp: What Do You Do For An Encore. Packed to the gills with poddy goodness, this one. Enjoy.

Sidney breaks down the movie that was created as a direct sequel to the iconic film The Blair Witch Project (1999), Blair Witch (2016).

V nejnovějším MovieZone Live Speciál se podíváme na zoubek hororové klasice Záhada Blair Witch. Ta v roce 1999 pobláznila celý svět a i když stála jen pár tisíc dolarů, stal se z ní fenomén a jeden z nejdůležitějších hororových filmů všech dob. Jak se jí to povedlo? A mohly za to spíš její kvality, nebo kampaň, která přesvědčila diváky, že koukají na film o třech lidech, kteří skutečně beze stopy zmizeli někde v hlubokých lesích Marylandu?

ONSLAUGHT Ending Explained (SPOILER'D) — Adam Wingard's KPG Universe Grows*SPOILERS AHEAD (even in the description) Adam Wingard and his long-standing writing partner Simon Barrett's new film Onslaught is a return to their indie roots back in the day when they made VHS 2, You're Next, and The Guest. After making Death Note and two Godzilla movies, Wingard wanted final cut and expression of his singular, tonal chaos aesthetic. Cupcake (Jose) and WillDaBeast (Mike) deep dive the movie, its gorgeous cast - Adria Arjona, Dan Stevens, Rebecca Hall, and Drew Starky - and if this is WINGARD-worthy or just for the die-hards. The Boyz dig into Dan Stevens' "Peter Sellers"-esque performance, ALL the Carpenter nods (this is "The Guest" meets "Assault on Precinct 13" with a dash of "The Terminator"). The discussion of plot details and secrets reveal why this plays as a spiritual sequel to The Guest and You're Next, while actually being a direct entry in Wingard and Barrett's shared KPG universe (yes, the same KPG from The Guest, You're Next, VHS/2, and Blair Witch).GET KINKY AND KRAZY WITH WATCH SKIP PLUS!- - - - - - - - - -WE ARE WATCH SKIP PLUS!***Original Theme music: Linus Fitness-Center ⁠ (click the link in our bio for more information on LFC)FOLLOW/LIKE/SUBSCRIBE/REVIEW/LOVEEmail us: ⁠WatchSkipPlus@gmail.com⁠Be kind.

Adam Wingard & Simon Barrett reunite for a Terminator-meets-Carpenter slasher. Spoiler-free verdict inside.Cupcake (Jose) and Mike (WillDaBeast) dive spoiler-free into Onslaught, the long-awaited reunion of director Adam Wingard and writer Simon Barrett whose previous films - The Guest, You're Next, Netflix's Death Note, and Blair Witch - are both beloved and polarizing. Shot on a $20 million budget back in New Mexico (same stomping grounds as The Guest), Onslaught follows a trio of unstoppable, Terminator-style killers unleashed on a small town, with Adria Arjona, Dan Stevens, Reginald VelJohnson, and Rebecca Hall caught in the crossfire.A return to Wingard's indie roots after directing Godzilla vs. Kong and Godzilla x Kong, pic homages the heck out of the seminal films by John Carpenter (Halloween, The Fog, and especially Assault on Precinct 13) as well a healthy dose of James Cameron (circa Terminator and Terminator: Judgment Day; even Hicks....Michael Biehn...makes an appearance). But will Cupcake (who is dying to marry Adam Wingard) and diehard Wingard fans be satisfied by this "spiritual" sequel that lives in the universe of The Guest? Or is this "seen it/done that", mid-Wingard (if that is even such a thing)?Come back for our SPOILER'D episode where we dig into the ending, the kills, and the universal connection that links this film with nearly all other "Barrett-Wingard" movies. - - - - - - - - - -WE ARE WATCH SKIP PLUS!***Original Theme music: Linus Fitness-Center (click the link in our bio for more information on LFC)FOLLOW/LIKE/SUBSCRIBE/REVIEW/LOVEEmail us: WatchSkipPlus@gmail.comBe kind.

The Craft at 30: Witchcraft, Teen Horror, and the Satanic Panic with Abby Brenker (Lunatics Project)We welcome Abby Brenker of The Lunatics Project to dig into The Craft on its 30th anniversary, tracing why this 1996 teen witchcraft horror classic became a sleepover staple despite mixed reviews and an R rating. We explore how the film centers female friendship, anger, and power outside of romance, while portraying boys as secondary villainous caricatures, and we unpack gendered conflicts around beauty, identity, mentorship, and isolation—especially for Bonnie, Sarah, Nancy, and Rochelle. We connect the movie's rituals, Wiccan and occult-inspired magic system, and iconic lines (“We're the weirdos, mister”) to broader 1990s witch media, from Sabrina to Buffy, and to real-world fears: self-harm, rape, bullying, and primal horror imagery like mirrors, snakes, and spiders. We also touch on The Believers, Blair Witch, and the Satanic Panic, and Abby shares where to find Lunatics Radio Hour and her feature film Voices Carry on Tubi.Chapters00:00 Meet The Guest00:28 Lunatics Project Origins03:02 Why The Craft Matters03:58 Film Setup And Legacy07:49 Women Center Stage11:18 Boys And Beauty Standards15:21 Rituals And Power18:02 Fear And Dark Themes23:32 Iconic Lines And Scenes25:36 Witch Shop Mentor27:45 Rochelle Lacks Support29:14 Racism Then and Now30:40 Hair as Social Power35:05 Nineties Witch Boom40:02 Satanic Panic Memories43:38 Ritual Games and Mirrors45:45 Iconic Final Confrontation48:26 Violence and R Rating51:08 Blair Witch and Viral Hype53:58 Closing and Projects LinksThe Lunatics ProjectLunatics Radio HourVoices Carry on TubiSalem Witch Trials History YouTube channelThe Thing About Witch HuntsThe Thing About the Salem Witch TrialsSalem Witch Trials DailyConnecticut Witch Trial History TrailMassachusetts Witch Trial HistoryEnd Witch Hunts nonprofit

In the early 2010s, no one showed more promise as a filmmaker than writer-director Adam Wingard. The young genre filmmaker from Tennessee had made a name for himself after the success of his break out films You're Next (2011) and The Guest (2014, one of the best films of that year). But much like many modern directors, Wingard took his talents to the cinematic worlds of big budget, existing IP, which saw him make Blair Witch, the third film in the franchise, the live-action Death Note, based on the popular Japanese manga. In this decade, he's explored the thrills and spectacle of two Godzilla vs. Kong films, making his mark within two of the biggest characters in the history of cinema, showcasing ridiculous action mixed with even more outrageous world building. After nearly a decade of being inside the studio machine, Wingard, alongside his screenwriting partner Simon Barrett, have returned to form with his latest film, Onslaught, an action-packed, kinky, bloody, paranoid driven machine within the same universe as The Guest; a full display of the promise he once showed us, just more mature now, speaking on themes of how our government and institutions want to harm us more than hurt us, and see humans as collateral damage more than as assists. Starring Adria Arjona, Drew Starkey, Reginald VelJohnson, Rebecca Hall, and Dan Stevens, Onslaught is one of the best action movies of the year, proving that Wingard is still a highly original voice that is needed in creating perfect, throwback action-horror flicks we just don't get anymore, and also showcasing why Arjona is a badass movie star. In my conversation with Wingard, we spoke about his journey to make Onslaught, what he learned about himself when making studio films, and why this was the right time to head back into the previous cinematic universe he and Barrett worked in before. We also discussed his research into cults, super soldiers, lack of institutional trust, and how the power-hungry characters in the film explore and exploit their own kinks. In speaking with him about every aspect of the film, working with his cast, and looking at his place in the world of independent filmmaking, a joyous energy shined out of him, much like the night before when he introduced the film before a packed audience at the Alamo Drafthouse on South Lamar in Austin, Texas. It's nice to tell that the writer-director is back making movies in his comfort zone, and we are lucky to see Adam Wingard back to working in a sandbox he created, all the while waiting to see how he's going to blow it up with some killer needle drops along the way.

Festival season is wrapping up and we’re finishing off our Fantasia coverage with three more movies. Sarah checked out the world premiere of The Last Footage, Myanmar's found-footage horror from writer-director-editor Arkar Soe Oo. It's shot entirely in first-person through a pair of camera glasses, plays out in near-real time, and follows a group of friends heading to an inherited rubber plantation that turns out to be significantly more haunted than expected. Classic horror tropes, not much gore, no score leads to almost documentary-style tension. Perfect Friday-night watch if you're into that Blair Witch-adjacent vibe and don't mind a little cheese. I caught the Canadian premiere of The Peril at Pincer Point from Jake Kuhn and Noah Stratton-Twine. Grainy black-and-white, early-2000s energy, and the entire thing is basically an elaborate inside joke about sound recording and indie film-making. A London sound designer gets sent to a crab-infested island to capture the perfect audio for some pretentious indie horror and ends up mind chasing ghost noises and angelic vocals. The actual sound design is excellent (as it better be), the runtime is breezy, and it feels like watching your friends make a movie that only they find hilarious. Hardcore Fantasia weirdos only. Then we both watched the Canadian premiere of The Galactic Ghoul, Simon Harrisson's gloriously low-budget space-opera goof starring Vincent Hoss-Desmarais in two roles and Ginger Snaps legend Katharine Isabelle as evil intergalactic royalty. Hardware-store costumes, over-the-top camp acting, and the kind of cheesy practical effects that only work when the entire movie is committed to the bit. Best experienced with a group of people who refuse to take anything seriously for 85 minutes. Sarah was less convinced. The rest of us had a blast.

In the summer of 2026, four Cajun podcasters disappeared in the dark swamps of southern Louisiana while performing a Midnight Ritual of The Blair Witch Project(1999). A few weeks later their audio was found. This is their episode. TNC: https://linktr.ee/thenightclub

Mid-July horror gets mutated, vengeful, infectious, and lost in the woods in this episode of This Week in Horror History, covering the week of July 13 through July 19. This time, we're digging into mad-scientist island nightmares, supernatural revenge literature, one extremely angry killer whale, a science-fiction body-horror classic, biological vampires, and the tiny independent movie that changed horror marketing forever.Inside this episode:July 13, 1977 — The Island of Dr. Moreau opens in U.S. theatersBurt Lancaster brings H.G. Wells' nightmare of science without conscience to the screen in a sweaty, pulpy story filled with animal-human mutations, unchecked authority, and a scientist convinced that nature would be better if he personally rearranged it.July 14, 2020 — The Only Good Indians is publishedStephen Graham Jones delivers one of modern horror literature's sharpest supernatural reckonings as four Blackfeet men discover that something from their past has memory, purpose, and antlers waiting in the dark.July 15, 1977 — Orca opens in New YorkThe post-Jaws creature-feature wave gets stranger, angrier, and surprisingly tragic when a killer whale driven by grief, intelligence, and patience begins pursuing the human responsible for an unforgivable act.July 16, 1958 — The Fly releases in the United StatesA scientist, a teleportation machine, and one tiny insect create one of science-fiction horror's most unforgettable transformations, turning a dream of human progress into a cruel nightmare of mixed bodies and irreversible mistakes.Deep-Cut Spotlight — The StrainGuillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan drag vampires out of the velvet cape and into the quarantine zone as a passenger plane lands at JFK filled with the dead. What follows treats vampirism like a biological outbreak capable of spreading through New York while officials argue, deny, and react too late.Horror Birthdays This Week:Patrick Stewart, Larry Cohen, Corey Feldman, and James Brolin enter the birthday roll, bringing connections to Lifeforce, Green Room, It's Alive, Q, The Stuff, Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter, The Lost Boys, Gremlins, and The Amityville Horror.Weekly Recommendation — The Blair Witch ProjectThree student filmmakers enter the Maryland woods with cameras, recording equipment, and a local legend, creating a landmark of found-footage horror built from darkness, disorientation, improvised performances, and the terrifying possibility that the footage might be real.Plus, Weekly Spooky returns Wednesday with another fresh original horror story, followed by more terrifying history, strange mysteries, movie talk, and unexplained broadcasts throughout the week.From The Island of Dr. Moreau and The Only Good Indians to Orca, The Fly, The Strain, and The Blair Witch Project, this week in horror history proves that terror can spread through laboratories, guilty memories, dark water, crowded cities, and one cursed corner of the internet.

Na een paar afleveringen vol fantasy en scifi duiken Koos en speciale gast Shelly deze week juist weer wat dieper de horror in. Ze bespreken onder meer de nieuwste films van Ari Aster en Jordan Peele, keren terug naar Avatar: The Last Airbender en praten je bij over alles wat er speelt in film, series en popcultuur. Daarnaast is er volop nieuws, met updates over James Bond, Halo, Gears of War, Robert Eggers’ Werwulf, de terugkeer van Blair Witch en nog veel meer. Supergirl Review Koos is deze week naar de première van Supergirl geweest en deelt zijn spoilervrije indrukken van de nieuwste DC-film. Maakt Milly Alcock direct indruk als Kara Zor-El? Slaagt DC Studios erin om het succes van Superman door te trekken en een overtuigende nieuwe held neer te zetten? Koos bespreekt wat hem opviel aan de film, de toon, de actie en de toekomst van het vernieuwde DC Universe. Eerste blik op Aaron Taylor-Johnson in Werwulf Robert Eggers is terug met een nieuwe nachtmerrie. In deze aflevering bespreken Koos en Shelly de eerste beelden van Werwulf, de nieuwe horrorfilm van de regisseur van The Witch, The Lighthouse en Nosferatu. Aaron Taylor-Johnson speelt een vervloekte middeleeuwse boer die verlossing zoekt, terwijl Eggers bewust afrekent met klassieke weerwolfclichés als zilveren kogels en beten om een volledig eigen mythologie neer te zetten. Ook bespreken we waarom Eggers dit zijn donkerste film tot nu toe noemt en waarom Werwulf nu al één van de meest veelbelovende horrorfilms van 2026 lijkt.

Our first Holzer Files Reaction: Grave SecretsThis week, Amy and Megan continue their experiment of rolling the dice and reacting to a paranormal show they've never pre-screened. Their random selection leads them to a haunted house, a mysterious bloodstain, a tragic family legend, and one very unsettling ghost whose preferred method of communication appears to be shushing people.As the investigation unfolds, long-held local stories start to unravel, leaving Amy and Megan questioning everything they thought they knew about the haunting. Along the way, they spiral into discussions about nightgowns, muumuus, Blair Witch trauma, ghost-hunting gadgets, and whether some paranormal legends survive simply because they're too good for a town to let go.Join us for haunted history, unexpected twists, and a healthy amount of paranormal tomfoolery.Content Warning:suicide, and we use colorful language.Chapter Markers00:00:33 Welcome & Housekeeping00:10:37 Picking the Episode00:13:54 Enter the Howard-Dickinson House00:21:26 Sidequest: PJs, Muumuus, & House Coats00:24: 43 The Woman in White00:29:36 Melinda, Witness00:30:43 True History: The House's Biggest Secret00:35:21 Overnight Investigation Begins00:38:34 Sidequest: SLS Camera00:45:04 The Results00:47: 12 Maida's Findings00:48:27 Melinda Returns00:52: 44 End of Holzer Files episode00:53:02 Blair Witch ReminiscingEpisode links:Howard-Dickinson House https://www.howardhousehenderson.org/The Holzer Files: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10738706/The Pajamas we talked about: https://amzn.to/4ujpHwFAmazon links could generate a small commission to us at no cost to you.The Activity Continues is a paranormal podcast where soul friends Amy and Megan chat about true crime, ghost stories, hauntings, dreams, and other paranormal stuff including the TV show, The Dead Files.

Here comes that heat again. Looking at temps in the mid-90's by Monday. Uffdah. Sadly, my shoulder injury kept me from working on the firepit in my backyard yesterday. But thankfully, it's been improving all week, and hopefully by next week, I'll be good to go. In the news this morning, a massive earthquake in Venezuela kills over 30 people, a pilot on an Air Canada flight had to be restrained by passengers after he suffered a seizure, the Knicks fan who dumped trash all over the sidewalk & stole a garbage can has not only been fired from her job…but after returning the stolen trash can…she got fined by the city, and the city of Fond du Lac is looking to pay you to move there! In sports, the Brew Crew complete the series sweep of the Reds with a 6-5 win last night, Team USA plays Turkey tonight at 9pm, a look at some of the interesting foods available at World Cup stadiums during the games, Lions cornerback Terrion Arnold is arrested, the IOC is going to start paying athletes, and a World Series of Poker player was using a buttplug for a card protector and got in trouble! We talked about what's on TV & streaming today/tonight. Plus, a remake of the Blair Witch is in the works, a musical based on "The Warriors" movie is being produced by Lin-Manuel Miranda, and some research on music lyrics has revealed that tunes are a lot meaner and more immoral than they used to be(DUH). A woman was saved from a burning house by her barking poodle, and a dude was recently reunited with a missing wallet that he didn't even realize he lost. It's "Hypothetical Thursday"…so we asked each other hypothetical questions today. Jean's question for Brian was: "If you could relive one year of your life, which year would you choose?" Meanwhile, Brian's question for Jean was: "You get $250,000…..but every traffic light you hit for the REST of your life is red. Do you take the money?" Elsewhere in sports, Josh Hokit appeared on the Ariel Halwani show and doubled down on his comments about Michelle Obama, the Mascot Hall of Fame is looking for nominations to join the Hall this year, and the Miami Marlins are going to hook one doggo up with a dream day after a recent viral video. Office Cora joined us just after 8am to talk about what she's up to in the 715 this weekend, and in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music"….we had stories about a Waffle House lawsuit, an orange ooze that's becoming a problem in California, A.I. bots stole more than $264,000 in taxpayer-funded financial aid by making fake accounts for fake students, a #FloridaMan who was purchasing E.D. meds without a prescription & selling them at a retirement community, and a #FloridaWoman who got arrested…kicked a cop…and had a crack pipe stashed in her vagina.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What started as one innocent question — What's the single greatest fast-food item ever created? — quickly became one of the most passionate arguments in Rizz Show history.The gang goes all-in debating whether the Wendy's Frosty deserves legendary status, if the Chicken McNugget changed civilization, and why the Taco Bell Crunchwrap Supreme might secretly be one of mankind's greatest engineering achievements. Along the way, there are passionate defenses of Happy Meals, Dairy Queen Blizzards, hash browns, curly fries, White Castle chicken rings, and enough fast-food nostalgia to make you immediately pull into a drive-thru.Because this is The Rizzuto Show, the conversation somehow swerves into stories about Ted Drewes inspiring the Blizzard, deep-fried tacos that look questionable but taste incredible, and the realization that nearly every great food invention somehow has St. Louis fingerprints on it.And then… because this is also a comedy podcast, things get even weirder.The crew dives into celebrity chaos, including Jack White's divorce filing, Daryl Hall's kidney transplant, Oprah's comments about Whitney Houston, and why Sexyy Red is locked in a legal battle involving stolen jewelry and security guards. Lauren delivers music news featuring Turnstile's return to St. Louis, AC/DC's massive touring numbers, and a Chris Cornell tribute project that sparks yet another spirited debate.There's also talk about Burning Man documentaries, a new Blair Witch movie, Elizabeth Banks becoming Ms. Frizzle, and one of the strangest conversations you'll ever hear about organ donation pricing.It's another episode that proves no topic is too small to become complete nonsense once Rizz and the gang get involved. Whether you're here for food arguments, celebrity news, weird stories, or daily chaos, this comedy podcast delivers exactly what you'd expect from your favorite morning show…and probably a few things you definitely didn't expect.If you've ever argued over fries, defended a favorite fast-food order like it was your child, or found yourself laughing at conversations that completely lose the plot, then this comedy podcast is for you.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Things are getting weird this week on The Grave Plot Podcast. First up, we’ve got another helping of Real World Horror, where we discuss a Catholic exorcist who found himself in hot water after publicly suggesting that UFOs might actually be demons in disguise. Whether you believe in little green men, little red devils, or neither, it’s certainly one of the stranger stories we’ve covered lately. Then it’s time for Horror Business, where we strap on our proton packs for a brand new animated Ghostbusters series, venture back into the woods for yet another trip to visit the Blair Witch, and check out the latest from reunited power couple Adam Wingard and Simon Barrett, who appear ready to unleash absolute chaos with their upcoming action-horror hybrid Onslaught. We also take a look at Colony, the new infection nightmare from the director of Train to Busan, before capping things off with perhaps the most bonkers premise of the week: a Christmas-themed horror-action movie featuring a family, a cult-like obsession with the holidays, and a rogue badass Santa Claus. Then it’s review time. First, we head to a remote cabin for Over Your Dead Body, a darkly comedic bloodbath starring Jason Segel and Samara Weaving as a married couple whose romantic getaway goes spectacularly off the rails. After that, we venture into the misty Irish countryside with Hokum, the latest supernatural chiller from Oddity director Damian McCarthy, blending folklore, grief, and creeping dread into one unsettling package. Between murderous spouses and haunted legends, we’ve got plenty to dig into this week. So grab that special someone, bring ’em in tight, and settle in for another episode of The Grave Plot Podcast!

Check out Cam's latest novel / audio drama here! We're kicking off our fifth annual Summerween celebration by taking a much closer look at one of Maggie's all time favorites: The Blair Witch Project. In this episode, we're starting with our impressions after seeing the film in theaters for a second time, analyzing the paradoxical urgency and breadth of the film's 81 minute runtime, and unpacking the mysteries of its suggestive, restrained creature design. We're also investigating some provocative comparisons with Backrooms, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and Dante's Inferno that help to elucidate the lethal ambiguity of the film's final shot. In our final two segments, we're exploring the unique genre fusion of Blair Witch and reflecting on the subtle creative choices that provoked the strongest emotional reaction from us.

Check out Cam's latest novel / audio drama here! Backrooms is a runaway indie horror sensation, but it is also a fascinating smoothie of influences. In this episode, we're cataloguing every touchstone from Stranger Things and Skinamarink to Blair Witch and The Yellow Wallpaper in an effort to understand why this movie is so phenomenally effective. We also take a closer look at the relationship between set design and creature design, the art of subgenre crossovers, and restrained horror endings.

This week on the podcast, the hosts dive into the unsettling horror release of the year, Backrooms. A film that has sparked huge conversation online for its atmosphere, psychological tension and its take on internet horror culture. The movie follows a group trapped inside a seemingly endless, liminal nightmare of fluorescent-lit hallways and shifting architectural design where reality slowly collapses around them. The hosts discuss the film's use of found footage, which is reminiscent of classic horror movies like Blair Witch and how it taps into the idea of liminal spaces. Which are spaces that aren't quite a room or a place but rather a transitional area that can be unsettling and eerie. They also talk about the film's cinematography, editing and score. Which all contribute to the sense of tension and unease. Ben and Brose praise the performances of the cast, particularly the two leads, who play characters that are both likeable and unlikable at the same time. They also discuss the film's themes of isolation, claustrophobia, and the blurring of reality and fantasy. If you're a fan of horror movies or just looking for a thought-provoking discussion, this episode is a must-listen. The hosts' analysis of the film's themes and techniques is insightful and entertaining and their passion for the subject matter is infectious. Join them as they dive into the world of Backrooms and explore what makes this film so compelling.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We like Sophie Thatcher and have enjoyed the works of Jennifer Kent. The idea of the two of them teaming up has us excited. Especially when it is set in a dystopian world. And it is based on a short story written for the pulp magazines of yesteryear. By a woman posing as a man. Good Boy was one of our favorite movies from last year. There is no arguing the hype surrounding it was based on its gimmick, however. Director Ben Leonberg's next movie is also very gimmicky. (No Indy, unfortunately.) We also talk about the next installment of the Blair Witch franchise and some of our concerns. Our first movie from South Africa may sound familiar. It is about a killer who preys on people's fears and wears black gloves with razor blades. But there is a reason that no one says Wes Craven stole the idea for A Nightmare on Elm Street. Quite simply, there is nothing like 1979's The Demon. This is probably for the best since the movie makes absolutely no sense. There is a soldier with ESP, a love story, an unresolved kidnapping, lots of quiet nudity, and no ending. Naturally, one of us was not impressed.

This week, Josh and Drusilla are excited to be joined by film critic and documentarian, Alexandra Heller-Nicholas. Alexandra has written the book on film footage (literally) and thus brings the show the big mama jama of the sub genre: The Blair Witch Project. From wiki: “The Blair Witch Project is a 1999 American found footage psychological folk horror film written, directed, and edited by Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sánchez. One of the most successful independent films of all time, it is a "found footage" pseudo-documentary in which three young students (Heather Donahue, Michael C. Williams, and Joshua Leonard) hike into the Appalachian Mountains near Burkittsville, Maryland, to shoot a documentary about a local myth known as the Blair Witch.”Also discussed: Iron Lung, 1000 Women in Horror, Terrifier, The Drama, Marble Hornets, Eddington, The Slap, Force Majeur, The Bad Seed, Night of the Living Dead, Hellier, and more. NEXT WEEK: Salo or The 100 Days of SodomAlexandra Heller-Nicholas:https://horrornonna.com/https://www.instagram.com/horrornonna/Bloodhaus: https://www.bloodhauspod.com/https://www.instagram.com/bloodhauspod/https://letterboxd.com/bloodhaus/Drusilla Adeline:https://www.sisterhydedesign.com/https://letterboxd.com/sisterhyde/https://www.instagram.com/sister__hyde/Joshua Conkelhttps://www.joshuaconkel.com/https://www.instagram.com/joshua_conkel/https://letterboxd.com/JoshuaConkel/  

This week, the Dads pull out the red string and the newspaper clippings to review The Conspiracy (2012), a Canadian found-footage indie thriller written and directed by Christopher MacBride.With Pete away skiing (and tracking his WOD PRs), Sidey, Dan, Reegs, and Cris dive into a mockumentary that blurs the lines between actual historical psy-ops and deep web paranoia.In this episode: - Arsenal injury conspiracies and the truth about international breaks - Terrence, the ultimate tinfoil-hat kook, and his magnificent "murder wall" of newspaper clippings - The psychology of conspiracy theories: why believing a shadowy cabal controls the world is more comforting than accepting chaos - How the film effectively weaves real-world events (9/11, Gulf of Tonkin) into its fictional narrative - The dreaded Tarsus Club and the logistics of crashing an elite secret society dinner (surely they counted the masks?) - The inevitable pivot into Blair Witch meets Eyes Wide Shut in the third act - Tie-clip cameras, blurry faces, and aggressive stabbing sound effects - That deeply unsettling final interview sceneVerdict: Strong recommend. A tight, breezy indie thriller that executes its premise well, even if the final act goes a bit off the rails.Films/shows mentioned: The Conspiracy (2012), The Blair Witch Project (1999), Eyes Wide Shut (1999).You can now text us anonymously to leave feedback, suggest future content or simply hurl abuse at us.

Jeremiah Kipp is a New York–based horror filmmaker whose work includes The Sadist, Slapface, and The Geechee Witch: A Boo Hag Story. In this episode, Jeremiah breaks down his expansive career journey and finely tuned process for working with actors, maximizing low budgets, and keeping sets running smoothly. Jeremiah also discusses the importance of mentorship in his career, including his longstanding relationships with genre greats, and former guests of the show, Larry Fessenden and Jim Mickle. And of course, we dive deep into his most recent feature, the adaptation of the viral video game The Mortuary Assistant, coming to Shudder on March 27th. Without further ado, here is Mortuary Assistant Director, Jeremiah Kipp.KEY TAKEAWAYSChoose Material That Speaks to You PersonallyJeremiah initially had little interest in adapting a video game. But when he played The Mortuary Assistant, he connected deeply to the protagonist, Rebecca Owens, a woman who hides inside her work to avoid confronting her personal demons.That personal entry point became his entire pitch: preserve the game's dread and atmosphere while grounding the film in emotional vulnerability. He and game creator Brian Clark bonded over shared anxieties and experiences, and it became the start of an excellent collaboration because Jeremiah was able to relate to the material on a deeply personal level.When directing, it's critical to put a big part of yourself into your projects, otherwise, why should you be the one to direct it?If you can't channel personal experience into a movie, or if the producers don't leave room for that, it might not be the right fit for you, and that's fine. Find the emotional core that connects to your own life or unique sensibility. Otherwise, the movie becomes just a gig. Producers can tell when your heart isn't in it. Audiences can too. Make it personal, or don't do it.Make sure Everyone is Rowing in the Same DirectionThe Mortuary Assistant, a very creatively unified, cohesive production as opposed to an earlier project that Jeremiah passed on where the vision kept shifting. That earlier project had producers that first wanted Blair Witch-style dread, then Herschell Gordon Lewis gore, then something akin to Black Phone. This unfocused behavior is a MASSIVE red flag, and even if you're just starting out, you should run because you're probably being setup to fail. Of course, not everyone is going to agree and get your vision, but if producers don't know what they want, or you're getting massively conflicting feedback from those you're meant to report to, no one will win, and you as the director will get all the blame.As Budgets Increase, Money Feels SmallerJim Mickle warned Kipp: “As you move up the budget ladder, it feels like you have less money.” This is a fascinating paradox but really makes sense when you think about it. More money means more department heads, larger builds, higher actor costs, bigger expectations, more moving parts, and less margin for error. More money means better production value but often less time and less freedom. We all want bigger budgets but, heed this warning going in.De-escalation Is a Crucial Leadership SkillMovie-making is grueling and involves long nights, early mornings, physically punishing days, little sleep, and less-than-adequate nutrition from crafty — all within a high-pressure environment. In other words, it's a recipe for potential volatility among those involved. Things go wrong on sets, tensions run high, and having worked on as many movies as he has, Jeremiah learned that de-escalating situations is a critical skill.A lot of would-be directors expect to take on a domineering presence where they demand full obedience from everyone on set. This attitude will have your cast and crew turning on you by day one, and your movie will suffer for it. Instead, assume a posture of humility. Take your ego out of volatile situations to relieve tension — even when the people you're dealing with are the ones at fault.You gain nothing by arguing or by being “right,” especially if it comes at the expense of someone else. Your goal should never be to win or assert dominance, but to keep the movie on track by stabilizing those working around you. It's massively humbling but absolutely critical.This doesn't mean you tolerate blatant disrespect. But avoiding needless confrontation doesn't make you weak; it makes you smart because you're protecting the steadiness of your production. One bad attitude can poison a set quickly, so it's critical to protect morale at all costs and handle conflict privately and strategically. The real leadership flex is emotional regulation.Show NotesMovies MentionedThe Mortuary AssistantSlapfaceThe Geechee Witch: A Boo Hag StoryThe BabadookHereditaryThe WitchI Sell the DeadFried BarryHalloween (John Carpenter)Dawn of the Dead (George A.
