Happy Thanksgiving! This year we're carving into Pilgrim, the deliciously unhinged holiday horror film where “authentic” reenactors take tradition way too far. We break down the chaos, the cult-like pilgrims, the tension filled dinner scenes, and why this Blumhouse oddity has become a low-key seasonal classic. Grab a plate, settle in, and join us for a feast of frights because nothing says family holidays like psychological terror and historical cosplay gone wrong.TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@wheel.of.horror7?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@wheelofhorrorpodcast1802/videos Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/wheel-of-horror/id1534102813 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3HnyAISG8Z8hvMFdSG60tE?si=9b785cf21c7f46a3 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wheel_of_horror/ Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/HorrorWheel

Aaron Alexander, Andrew Gordon & John Humphrey react to Black Phone 2 (2025), the chilling supernatural horror sequel from director Scott Derrickson (Sinister, Doctor Strange) and co-writer C. Robert Cargill (Doctor Strange, Sinister 2). Set four years after the events of The Black Phone (2021), this follow-up deepens the trauma and terror as the masked killer known as the Grabber returns to haunt survivors and new victims alike. The film stars Mason Thames (Finney Blake) as the only known survivor of the Grabber's first reign of terror, now struggling with his past. Alongside him is Madeleine McGraw (Gwen Blake), Finney's younger sister who begins experiencing haunting visions and calls from beyond the dead pay phone. Horror icon Ethan Hawke returns as the sneering, masked Grabber, alsoreprising his terrifying role from the first film. Iconic moments include the pay-phone ringing in the dead of winter, a snow-bound youth-camp under siege, the re-emergence of the Grabber's mask, and the tense sibling showdown as Gwen bravely confronts her visions and Finney fights his inner demons. Reviewers call the sequel a “darker, bloodier evolution” that honours the first film's emotion while escalating the supernatural stakes. With chilling atmosphere, smart twists, and a horror villain reborn, Black Phone 2 plays the perfect balance of fear and catharsis — a must-watch for fans of Blumhouse horror and modern psychological fright.

This week on Friday Night Frightfest, we're facing a chilling truth: nothing is scarier than when the children are not alright. We're exploring the horrific subgenre of "creepy kids" or "kids in danger" by comparing the multi-perspective horror epic Weapons (2025) from the director of Barbarian, and the recent Blumhouse chiller There's Something Wrong with the Children (2023). Weapons (2025) Directed by Zach Cregger, Weapons is an ambitious, sprawling horror film that centers on a terrifying mystery in the small town of Maybrook, Pennsylvania. The plot follows the case of seventeen children from the same classroom who mysteriously vanish on the same night at exactly the same time, all except one. The film explores the community's frantic search for answers and the psychic disintegration of the adults as they grapple with the idea that the children themselves may be the source of the terror, linking themes of social collapse and supernatural dread. There's Something Wrong with the Children (2023) Directed by Roxanne Benjamin, this film is a more contained take on the corrupted child trope. When two couples take a weekend trip to a remote woodland cabin, one couple's two young children mysteriously disappear into the woods overnight near a strange set of ruins. When the kids return, Ben (Zach Gilford) begins to suspect something supernatural has possessed them, but his friends dismiss his concerns as mental health issues. The film uses the isolation of the cabin and the paranoia within the adult group to amplify the sinister horror of the changed children. Join us as we look at these two distinct approaches to corrupted innocence. Which film offers the most chilling vision of childhood twisted into an instrument of fear? Tune in to find out! Spoilers start around 5:50

THE GRABBER RETURNS!! Black Phone 2 Full Movie Reaction Watch Along: ⁠  / thereelrejects  ⁠ The Black Phone (2021) Movie Reaction: ⁠   • THE BLACK PHONE MOVIE REACTION!! First Tim...  ⁠ The Black Phone 2 Movie Reaction, Breakdown, Commentary, Analysis & Spoiler Review! Join us as we dive into the chilling sequel directed by Scott Derrickson (who also helmed Doctor Strange and Sinister) in which the masked killer known as the “Grabber” returns from beyond the grave. Ten-plus years after his defeat by Mason Thames (Finney Blake — also in How to Train Your Dragon (2025) and Regretting You (2025)) the evil starts haunting both Finney and his sister Madeleine McGraw (Gwen) at a remote winter camp, Alpine Lake, where their mother once worked—and things get deeply supernatural. Meanwhile, the Grabber is still played by Ethan Hawke (The Grabber — also in Training Day, Before Midnight, and The Black Phone (2021)) who now haunts the phone lines and dreams of his victims. We unpack major moments: Gwen's vision sequences, Finney's PTSD-driven recklessness, the snowbound camp setting, the ringing black phone returning, the origin back story of the Blake family's trauma, and the visceral climax where the Grabber gains powers of the undead and the siblings must fight back. We analyze how Derrickson flips a summer-camp slasher into a winter nightmare, how the film leans into supernatural horror (think Freddy Krueger vibes) and how the sequel expands the mythos of the first film. If you're searching “Black Phone 2 explained”, “Black Phone 2 review”, “Grabber origin Black Phone sequel”, “Mason Thames Black Phone 2 reaction”, this is your full breakdown. Buckle up—the phone is ringing and the nightmare's only begun.

Frank and Squeaks break down a busy week in geek news before diving into two fresh reviews and a long chat with voice actor Eliah Mountjoy. We talk Netflix's Catan project, Stranger Things' finale heading to theaters, Blumhouse picking up Something Is Killing The Children, convention safety after the Emiru incident, and Halo landing on PlayStation. Reviews include Gen V Season 2 and It: Welcome to Derry Episode 1. Eliah then joins to talk Marvel Rivals, bringing Bucky Barnes to life, and the craft of voice acting. Timestamps and Topics 01:10 Question of the Week - Favorite box office flops that we love 04:42 Netflix developing Catan project 08:41 Stranger Things series finale will play in theaters 11:46 Blumhouse lands Something Is Killing The Children 15:04 Emiru incident at TwitchCon - convention safety and parasocial boundaries 24:10 Halo coming to PlayStation 28:51 Console wars timeline and what "the end" looks like 38:19 Quick sponsor shout for Smurfs Blu-ray 38:38 Review - Gen V Season 2 53:20 Review - It: Welcome to Derry Episode 1 01:08:10 Interview - Eliah Mountjoy on Marvel Rivals and voicing Winter Soldier Key Takeaways Netflix is expanding board game adaptations with Catan and exploring series or film options. Stranger Things is treating its finale like an event by putting it on the big screen. Blumhouse grabbing Something Is Killing The Children shows horror's momentum in both live action and adult animation. The Emiru assault at TwitchCon highlights the need for tighter security and better creator safety guidelines. Halo on PlayStation feels like the final shot in the console wars and a nod to platform-agnostic futures. Gen V Season 2 keeps The Boys universe sharp with character-first chaos. It: Welcome to Derry starts strong with mood and mystery, even if the spectacle is still ramping up. Eliah Mountjoy frames Bucky as a survivor balancing light and dark, focusing on grounded choices over super-heroics. Quotes "Hook is the box office flop I will defend to my last breath." "Stranger Things going to theaters is a victory lap and a thank you to fans." "It feels like the end of the console wars." "Acting is reacting." "Bucky has existed in both worlds, good and bad, and he's trying to live with that." "Directing for VO is finding the truth in the take, not chasing a line read."

Forty years. Thirteen films. One masked killer who just won't die.Today, we're zeroing in on the final chapter of the Halloween saga — the last seven films that tried to reimagine, reboot, and finally end the story of Michael Myers. From the sleek nostalgia of H20, to the gritty chaos of Rob Zombie's vision, and the recent Blumhouse trilogy that brought Laurie Strode back for one last showdown. We're slicing through what worked, what didn't, and why the Shape still casts such a long shadow over modern horror.So grab your pumpkin spice, lock your doors, and cue the Carpenter score, because we're diving deep into the evolution, the chaos, and the legacy of Halloween's final seven acts.Be sure to subscribe on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and leave a review, or email us at unitedstatesofmurder@gmail.comFollow us on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, and⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠!

Tune in to hear us break down “Black Phone 2” — from the way it shifted the focus to Finney's sister, to how it created its own set of rules for the dream world, and whether the more emotional scenes worked well or felt over-the-top.

Wrapping up a trilogy is always a tough pumpkin to carve -- a lesson director David Gordon Green learned with Halloween Ends, the climax of his otherwise financially successful Blumhouse "legacy" series that began with 2018's Halloween and carried through with 2021's Halloween Kills. Despite strong production values and the return of Jamie Lee Curtis as Laurie Strode, the film met with fan backlash and muted box office returns, due in part to the shift in focus from Michael Myers to a new slasher character, the unpopular Corey. But is it really as bad as all that? Join superfans Sebastian and Matt Anderson as they slash it out once and for all to determine if this is a worthy end to the franchise. Trick or treat, motherf**cker!

Mia Goth is the latest actor shedding a bit of light on the long-shelved Blade movie from Marvel Studios. In an interview with Elle, promoting her upcoming appearance in Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein, Goth shared only that she is still attached to the film and commented that “It's for the best that it's taken the time it has. They want to do it right.” This is in line with Kevin Feige's comments this summer that the film is still moving forward.In an interview with the AP this week, Adam Driver dropped some major information about the Ben Solo movie in Star Wars that never was. Driver explained that Lucasfilm was interested in continuing his character's story in a film that had a script written by Steven Soderbergh. Driver was supportive of the script and the creative team took it to Bob Iger and Alan Bergman at Disney who turned the project down as they “didn't see how Ben Solo was alive.” Fan favorites Amber Midthunder and Walton Goggins will star in a new action movie from the creator of the John Wick franchise. The film, called Painter, has a major executive producer credit - with Avatar and Titanic director James Cameron serving in that role. Stunt coordinator Garrett Warren, who worked with Cameron on the last two Avatars as well as Logan and the Road House reboot, is directing the movie; a debut effort. The movie's plot will focus on Midthunder's character, trained as a child who must save her father after he is kidnapped.Lightning RoundKate McKinnon has joined the cast of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” Season 3 and will play Aphrodite.Jim Carrey is in talks to star in a live action film adaptation of The Jetsons from Warner Bros.

Disney's Tron: Ares is at $103M global for ten-days and is currently bound to lose more than $132M off a $220 million net production cost.Colman Domingo has been cast as the voice of the Cowardly Lion in “Wicked: For Good.” The announcement was made on the “Wicked” Instagram account on Monday, with Domingo hiding behind a lion stuffed animal before revealing himself and saying: “See you in Oz!”Netflix has won the rights to adapt the popular Asmodee board game Settlers of Catan and is planning an array of projects — scripted and unscripted, live-action and animated based on the franchise.AppleTV has released some first look photos for Shrinking season 3 and has confirmed a release date.

Mike White sits down with journalist and author Clark Collis to talk about his latest deep dive into the world of fear and fascination, Screaming and Conjuring: The Rise of Modern Horror Franchises. Collis explores how films like The Conjuring, Insidious, and Paranormal Activity revived mainstream horror, spawned cinematic universes, and redefined the genre for a new generation. From haunted houses to found footage, Collis traces the eerie evolution of studio horror from the 2000s onward—where box office booms meet demonic possessions, and clever marketing becomes part of the scare.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-projection-booth-podcast--5513239/support.Become a supporter of The Projection Booth at http://www.patreon.com/projectionbooth 

James Jude Courtney has played Michael Myers (aka, The Shape) in more “Halloween” films than any other actor, having starred in all 3 of the recent Blumhouse films. Tune in to hear all about how he was cast and his approach to portraying this iconic horror villain, the endings that were filmed but never made it to screen, and how emotional it got working with Jamie Lee Curtis on that final battle in “Halloween Ends.”

Collis explores how films like The Conjuring, Insidious, and Paranormal Activity revived mainstream horror, spawned cinematic universes, and redefined the genre for a new generation. From haunted houses to found footage, Collis traces the eerie evolution of studio horror from the 2000s onward—where box office booms meet demonic possessions, and clever marketing becomes part of the scare.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-projection-booth-podcast--5513239/support.Become a supporter of The Projection Booth at http://www.patreon.com/projectionbooth 

The black phone is ringing... will you answer? Hawketober continues with Black Phone 2, one of Ethan's only seqeuls outside the Before trilogy. The Grabber is back, and he's got ice skates! Emily and Michael return to discuss the disappointing film, despite some fun moments. What's going on with Blumhouse? They need to figure it out! We'll be back in mere days with more Lowdown. Until then, keep Hawke-ing the skies!

This week's episode takes a sharp turn into the shadows as we welcome back actor Josh Warren, who joins us fresh off his appearance in Shudder's new reality competition series “Guts and Glory,” produced by none other than Greg Nicotero of The Walking Dead fame. Josh shares what it's like to be on the blood-soaked set (at least as much as his NDA allows), and gives us a peek behind the curtain of this wild new horror challenge. Then, we go full slasher mode as the gang dives headfirst into every Halloween movie in the Michael Myers franchise — all 13 of them. From Carpenter's classic to Rob Zombie's gritty remakes to the recent Blumhouse trilogy, we rank, debate, and resurrect decades of Haddonfield mayhem. It's a killer combo of horror nostalgia, behind-the-scenes talk, and pop-culture carnage that only Radio Labyrinth could deliver.

The chilling atmosphere and haunting visuals deliver that classic Blumhouse terror, with the return of The Grabber —literally and figuratively. While it doesn't completely recapture the mystery of the original, it is very similar to another popular horror classic. It adds a cold, supernatural edge. A mix of psychological horror and ghostly vengeance, The Black Phone 2 is a very capable follow-up to the original. #TheBlackPhone2 #MovieReview #HorrorMovies #Blumhouse #TheGrabberReturns #DeadIsJustAWord #HorrorCommunity #ScaryMovies
