Happy Valentines Day!!! Today we’re heading deep underground to crack open My Bloody Valentine (1981). the grimy Canadian slasher that proves nothing says romance like a pickaxe to the heart. Set in a mining town where Valentine’s Day comes with a body count, this cult classic blends blue-collar dread, holiday horror, and some truly brutal kills. We dig into the film’s troubled production, the infamous MPAA cuts, and why its atmosphere hits harder than most slashers of the era. Is Harry Warden one of the most underrated horror villains? And does this movie deserve more love than it gets...

Michael Myers is back… again.....again but this time, he’s live on the internet. 
Today we dive headfirst into Halloween: Resurrection, the controversial sequel that resurrects the franchise by trapping a group of realityTV contestants inside the Myers house for a night of “fun” that quickly turns fatal. We break down the wild early-2000s energy, the found-footage vibes before they were cool, and the ridiculous opening scene. From Busta Rhymes’ unforgettable kung-fu showdown with Michael, to the film’s attempt to modernize horror through webcams and live streams, we ask the big question: misunderstood experiment or franchise low point? Jo...

Today we take a deep dive into Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon, the cult horror mockumentary that flips the slasher genre on its head. We explore how the film blends comedy and horror, deconstructs iconic slasher tropes, and turns the killer into the protagonist, asking what happens when the killer knows the rules and invites us behind the scenes. An underrated and under talked about film for horror fans who love smart satire with a sharp edge. Enjoy!

Finally we are revisiting Final Destination 2, the sequel that turned everyday road trips into pure terror. From the infamous highway pile-up to the franchise’s signature chain-reaction deaths, we break down how the film escalates its formula, deepens its mythology of Death’s design, and cements its place as one of the most memorable entries in the series. Buckle up because you’ll never look at logging trucks the same way again.

Today we are joined by Stevie Caruso to descend into the unsettling world of The Taking of Deborah Logan, the found-footage horror film that blurs the line between medical documentary and demonic nightmare. What begins as a sensitive look at an elderly woman’s struggle with Alzheimer’s spirals into a terrifying exploration of possession, trauma, and the horrors we can’t explain.

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.
