With Maika Monroe taking names this weekend in Victorian Psycho, while Dan Stevens staves off the Bay Harbor Butcher in Dexter: Resurrection, and Adam Wingard's Onslaught continues to invade living rooms everywhere... we thought it was a good time to finally unlock our 2023 coverage on The Guest. The action-thriller-horror-whatever-you-want-to-call-it genre diamond is a cult favorite over a decade later, and we spent three hours talking about the marvelous soundtrack, Wingard's what-ifs, the stellar cast, and more. Enjoy and maybe consider this more of a Thanksgiving movie than, say, a Halloween flick. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The Halloweenies keep their favorite October tradition going! Last year, Michael Roffman and Dan Caffrey ventured to the Haddonfield Public Library to read Dennis Etchison/Jack Martin's 1982 novelization for Halloween III: Season of the Witch. This year, they're dusting off Nicholas Grabowsky's 1988 novelization for Halloween IV.

After taking a break to burn with a broken family of deadites in July, the Halloweenies return to their coverage of the Hellraiser franchise as summer burns off its last days in August. (Hopefully.) At last, we have arrived at Hellraiser: Hellseeker, the sixth entry in the series that went direct to video in Fall 2002.
