Tommy James and Sabrina Ace finally made it into the fog for Halloween Horror Nights 35... and had two VERY different nights.

We're talking the houses we loved, the ones that disappointed the hell out of us, way too many clowns, Sabrina's drunken bachelorette/birthday celebration, Tommy's mom getting her ass kicked by scare actors, and one hell of a tribute to Ozzy Osbourne.


Darkness Falls (2003)

Darkness Falls gave us one of the creepiest openings of the early 2000s...and then had another hour to fill.

Tommy and Sabrina go back to the killer Tooth Fairy movie that somehow made both of their Guilty Pleasure Horror lists. We talk about what still works, what definitely doesn’t, sort it into one of the Five Houses, and Tommy explains how this movie may have ruined a perfectly good Valentine’s Day.

Halloween Horror Nights is back, so before we step into the fog, Tommy and Sabrina are making their predictions.

We’re talking most anticipated houses, biggest concerns, food, scare zones, and everything we’re looking forward to at HHN 2026.

Every Horror Fan Belongs Somewhere.

Tommy and Sabrina officially reveal the Five Houses of Night School Horror: Ink, Smoke, Shadow, Blood, and Ember.

So...what’s your House?

Sabrina Ace has a new game, and Tommy James gets to be the first victim.

Welcome to Make It Horror, where perfectly innocent movies are thrown onto the wheel and forced into a horror subgenre. Tommy has to transform Jurassic Park into a cult movie and take The Cable Guy from already creepy to full-blown horror, while Sabrina decides whether his pitches actually work.

08/10/2026

Hazbin Hotel gave us banger after banger... but only one song can graduate at the top of the class.

Tommy James, Sabrina Ace, and Mr. A-Town Ryan throw every major song from Season 1 into a bracket and argue their way to a single winner. From Poison and Loser Baby to Hell's Greatest Dad, Respectless, Happy Day in Hell, and more, no matchup is easy, every vote hurts, and yes... Tommy even recruits a surprise tie-breaker when things get out of hand.

If you've ever screamed, "There's no way THAT song should've won!"... this episode is...

Obsession had us questioning every relationship we’ve ever seen...and maybe a few of our own.

Tommy, Sabrina, and Mr. A-Town get into one of the weirdest horror movies we’ve watched this year, including one scene that had Alex text yelling, “What the fuck?!”

Plus, Tommy’s Therapy Session might make you think twice before wishing for love.


Evil Dead Burn

Something about these Deadites just isn’t right.

Tommy and Sabrina get into Evil Dead Burn and try to figure out why the Deadites suddenly forgot how to be Deadites, why the lore seems to change whenever it needs to, and whether we somehow missed a few pages of the Necronomicon.

This isn’t our Deadite.

Before Evil Dead Burn, Tommy and Sabrina are going back through the Necronomicon and ranking the entire Evil Dead franchise from worst to best.

We’re talking our history with the movies, plenty of Bruce Campbell, and why Evil Dead 2 is still so damn hard to beat.

Shop smart. Shop S-Mart.

Welcome to the Season 1 Finale, Hazbin Hotelians!!!

Today's Lesson: Episode 8 — The Show Must Go On

For the Season 1 finale, Alex A-Town Ryan takes over the teacher's desk as he, Tommy James, and Sabrina Ace break down one of the biggest episodes of the series. From Lucifer finally reminding everyone why he's the King of Hell to Sir Pentious stealing the class's hearts one last time, the crew dives into the finale's biggest moments, the emotional payoffs that had no business hitting that hard, and the battle that changed everything.

Welcome back, Hazbin Hotelians... Mista Malave is still missing, so we've officially stopped filing the paperwork.

Today's Lesson: Episode 7 — Hello Rosie!

This week, Tommy James, Sabrina Ace, and Alex A-Town Ryan head to Cannibal Town, where the smiles are warm, the tea is fresh, and the finger foods are... well, best not to ask. The class breaks down Rosie's scene-stealing debut, Alastor's increasingly suspicious master plan, Charlie finally embracing her role as a leader, and Vaggie's unforgettable training with Carmilla Carmine. Along the way, the gang debates whether "Out for Love" is one of the st...

Welcome back, Hazbin Hotelians…It's time to grab your halos because we are heading to HEAVEN!

Today’s lesson: Episode 6: Welcome To Heaven:

Charlie and Vaggie finally make their trip to Heaven to plead the case for redemption, but what starts as a guided tour through fluffy koalas, rainbow sprinkles, and Darren Criss singing about the perfect afterlife quickly turns into a heavenly courtroom drama. Meanwhile back in Hell, Angel Dust, Husk, Cherry Bomb, and the newly crowned fan-favorite Sir Pentious hit the club scene, where Pentious proves that awkward rizz may be dead... but buyi...

Welcome back, Hazbin Hotelians...At this point, Mista Malave has officially vanished. No note. No phone call. No excuse. The faculty has reviewed the situation and unanimously agreed to give him a big ol' F.

Today's Lesson: Episode 5 — Dad Beat Dad:

Tommy James keeps the semester rolling alongside Sabrina Ace and Mr. A-Town Ryan, who immediately confesses that he cracked under pressure and watched Episode 6 ahead of schedule. The man's supposed to be taking this class one episode at a time and instead he's speed running the curriculum.

This week, we check into on...

06/12/2026

Welcome back to I Killed My Tamagotchi!

The tape's rolling and Alex "A-Town" Ryan drops a confession that completely changes the way he experienced some of the biggest shows of the '90s.

That revelation sends Tommy and Alex down a slime-covered rabbit hole through the golden age of Nickelodeon game shows. From Double Dare and GUTS to Legends of the Hidden Temple and Figure It Out, the guys debate which shows they could have actually won, which kids had no business being contestants, and whether Double Dare may have been secretly rigged all along.<...

06/08/2026

Welcome back, Hazbin Hotelians…Mista Malave skipped class again. Honestly, at this point Charlie’s gonna stop offering redemption and just charge him a late checkout fee.

Today’s lesson: Episode 4 - Masquerade:

Tommy James takes the wheel while Sabrina Ace and Mr. A-Town Ryan break down one of the realest episodes in Hazbin Hotel so far. Under all the neon lights, jokes, drinks, and hotel lobby nonsense, this episode hits way harder than expected.

We dive into Angel Dust finally letting the mask slip, Husk becoming the exhausted hotel bartender/therapist nobody asked...

06/05/2026

Welcome to the very first episode of I Killed My Tamagotchi!

Things immediately go off the rails when Tommy James opens the show with a confession so shocking that Alex "A-Town" Ryan spends the rest of the episode questioning their entire 25-year friendship.

From there, the guys dive into the Disney Renaissance and rank the songs that defined a generation. From The Little Mermaid and Aladdin to Mulan, The Lion King, Hercules, and more, they debate classics, share childhood memories, and discover just how differently they view some of Disney's most beloved films.

Welcome back, Hazbin Hotelians. Class is back in session as Night School Horror continues its descent through Hazbin Hotel one episode at a time. Unfortunately, Mista Malave decided to cut class again…which feels a little Respectless if you ask us.

Today’s lesson: Episode 3 — Scrambled Eggs:

Florida’s Favorite Creep Sabrina Ace continues leading Tommy James and Mr. A-Town Ryan deeper into the chaos of the Hazbin universe as the group breaks down trust, loyalty, and why Velvette is the backbone of the Vees. Tommy also refuses to let go of the idea that Rosie Pe...

Welcome back, Hazbin Hotelians. After a brief hiatus for Mother’s Day and the internationally unrecognized holiday known as Tommy James Day, Night School Horror is back in session to continue dragging Mr. A-Town Ryan and Mista Malave deeper into the beautifully unhinged world of Hazbin Hotel.

Unfortunately, Mista Malave had to cut class this week… but don’t worry, the man still did his homework using ChatGPT.

Today’s lesson: Episode 2 – Radio Killed the Video Star:

Mr. A-Town breaks down the episode’s story setup, shares how he’s feeling about the show so far, a...

Hold onto your halos—your devil horns are already screwed on tight. Night School Horror is heading straight into Hazbin Hotel, and yeah… we’re doing the whole damn thing, episode by episode.

In this series, Sabrina Ace (Florida’s Favorite Creep) and Tommy James (The Movie Guy Bay Bay) drag Mathew Malave and the king of television, Alex A-Town Ryan, through a fiery crash course in demons, redemption, and aggressively catchy musical numbers. A-Town is going in blind, watching each episode ahead of recording so you get that fresh, unfiltered reaction, while the rest of us try not t...

Absurd Logic: When TV Worlds Collide | A-Town vs Smooth episode artwork
04/13/2026

Mista Malave steps in as host and throws A-Town Ryan and reigning Second Rounds On Us Champion Tommy James into the deep end of Absurd Logic, where the rules are simple: take two completely unrelated TV shows and somehow make it make sense. 

We’re talking chaotic crossover pitches featuring worlds that were never meant to collide—like Always Sunny In Philadelphia, Westworld, Scrubs, and Breaking Bad. It’s comedy, drama, and straight-up nonsense fighting for credibility.

Each competitor has to sell their mashup like it deserves a greenlight, breaking down character interactions, conflict, tone, and som...

03/30/2026

Fresh off his totally deserved (he’ll tell you himself) championship win, Tommy James takes the host chair to run everyone’s favorite beautifully unhinged game: Absurd Logic.

This round, Florida’s Favorite Creep Sabrina Ace squares up against Mista Malave in a battle of creativity, chaos, and questionable decision-making. The challenge? Take a completed sitcom, keep only two human characters, and replace the rest of the cast with Muppets. Yes… seriously.

What follows is a mix of surprisingly thoughtful casting choices, arguments about “story integrity” that absolutely should not exist in this context, and pitches that...


Who You Got Challenge: The Smooth Bracket Breakdown

03/17/2026

In this episode of the 2026 Who You Got Challenge, the crew takes on The Smooth Bracket — a tournament packed with characters that range from unstoppable icons to picks that make you immediately question someone’s judgment.

Joining Tommy James, Florida’s Favorite Creep Sabrina, and defending chaos enthusiast Mista Malave is special guest Bobby from The GNP Project, while Challenge Administrator A-Town Ryan keeps the madness from completely derailing the bracket.

On paper, this thing looks simple: legendary characters enter, one walks out. In reality? It turns into a strategic circus.

Megatron starts throwi...

03/16/2026

The 2026 Who You Got Challenge for MegaCon Orlando continues on with The Creep Bracket—a lineup so chaotic it probably violates several laws of physics, logic, and basic common sense.

Joining the madness are Florida’s Favorite Creep Sabrina, Mista Malave, Tommy James, Mike “Schmidthauser”, and our suffering Challenge Administrator Mr. A-Town Ryan, whose job is basically to keep this circus from completely burning down.

This bracket throws together characters who probably should never share the same arena. We’re talking Ben 10’s Omnitrix, Sonic’s speed, Shrek’s questionable swamp strength, magic, alien tech, demons from hell...


Who You Got Challenge: The Malave Bracket Breakdown

03/09/2026

The 2026 Who You Got Challenge truly begins with Malave’s side of the MegaCon bracket, and things get messy fast.

Mista Malave, Florida’s Favorite Creep Sabrina, Tommy James, and Mr. A-Town Ryan step into the arena to break down a lineup of fictional fights that absolutely no one on the internet agrees about.

Under the Fair Grounds rules, characters are capped, prep time exists, and “because they’re OP” isn’t an argument. Every matchup gets dissected the way it should be — strengths, weaknesses, strategy, and the occasional reality check when someone tries to sneak in a cos...

03/01/2026

The Who You Got Challenge is officially out of retirement — rebuilt from the ground up for 2026. Old brackets? Gone. Previous records? Cleared. Excuses? Deleted.

This year starts with the MegaCon Draft.

Reigning champion Mista Malave returns to defend his reputation. Tommy James is here to cause problems. And making her official challenge debut, Sabrina Ace steps into the game.

Four categories:Movies. TV. Comics/Literature. Video Games. Origin rules apply. If they can’t be defeated, they don’t get drafted. No immortal hacks. No cosmic “well technically.” If they’re unbeatable, they’re unpickable...

11/18/2025

Florida’s Favorite Creep Sabrina Ace and The Evil Barbie Edy head straight into the worst tourist trap in America: Derry, Maine — where balloons float, morals don’t, and Pennywise is basically the HOA president.

The duo tears into Welcome to Derry, dissecting how this prequel ties back to IT, why the town itself should be declared a biohazard, and which characters desperately need therapy, relocation, or both. They dive into the messy friendship drama, the racial tension baked into the story, Marge’s struggle to fit in, and Lily’s ongoing commitment to making terrible life choices.<...

The Grabber is back...and apparently death only made him grabbier.

Mista Malave and Sabrina take on The Black Phone 2 and talk missing kills, Freddy Krueger vibes, Gwen taking over the spotlight, and whether The Grabber really needed another phone call.

Apparently, everything in horror comes back to Ed Gein.

The crew get into Monster: The Ed Gein Story, how much of it was actually true, the liberties Netflix took, and the very real influence Gein had on some of horror’s biggest movies.

And apparently Tommy really needs to talk about “Owner of a Lonely Heart” by YES.


Alien Earth Finale

10/01/2025

Tommy James and Big Money Eddie put on their hazmat suits and wade through the radioactive mess that was the Alien Earth finale. Spoiler alert: it sucked. From limp storytelling and cardboard “character arcs” to the ever-present fingerprints of corporate greed, our boys dissect how Hollywood once again proved it can milk a franchise until it’s bone-dry. Along the way, they chew over the role of horror in the Alien universe, gush (and gag) about the beauty of the xenomorph design.  In the end, the lesson is clear: if you’re a Hollywood writer, maybe stop writing like your audi...

Indy’s a good boy, Todd.

Tommy, Sabrina, and Mista Malave get into Good Boy, a horror movie told through the eyes of a dog that hit us way harder than we expected.

We talk Indy, that ending, and how a movie about a haunted house and a dog somehow turned into an existential crisis.

Seriously though...Indy’s a good boy.

Good Boy will be releasing in USA Cinemas on October 3rd and UK Cinemas from October 10th

#13
09/17/2025

Strap in, students, Tommy James and Big Money Eddie are back in session, and this time they’re dissecting episodes 5 and 6 of Alien Earth. Yes, the show where corporate greed is scarier than the monsters, pacing issues move slower than a Xenomorph on Ambien, and somehow… the aliens are the ones we feel bad for.

The boys wade through philosophical plant life, identity crises, and the looming “machines rise up” subplot that absolutely no one asked for, but we’re all here for anyway. Predictions fly, shade is thrown, and somewhere in the chaos Tommy proves that the scarie...

09/15/2025

At this point, the Warrens are basically the Kardashians of horror.

Tommy and Mista Malave get into The Conjuring: Last Rites, the Smurl case, what worked, what didn’t, and whether it was actually a fitting end for the Warrens.

Plus, we rank the entire Conjuring Universe...and we're definitely not agreeing on all of it.


Draculaw

09/04/2025

On this episode of Night School Horror, Tommy James and Big Money Eddie sink their teeth into the indie horror-comedy Draculaw. They pick apart its charm, budgetary bruises, and that whole “time as an energy vampire” thing—because nothing says horror like losing a weekend to deadlines. From pacing quirks to soundtrack surprises, the hosts balance praise with playful stabs of criticism, proving once again that low-budget doesn’t mean low-bite.

09/02/2025

Class is in session, and this week Tommy James and Big Money Eddie crack open the latest episode of Alien: Earth. The boys question whether the franchise is boldly going… or just cashing checks. From creepy kid characters to corporate overlords, from AI asking “do you love me?” to the soundtrack making sure you do, nothing escapes detention. Expect talk of cyborg xenomorph nightmares, real-world capitalism bleeding into sci-fi, and whether Timothy Olyphant just graduated top of the class.

08/27/2025

Apparently Portland loves Naruto running and Tommy’s Aunt Edna really hates sticks.

Tommy and Sabrina are joined by Edy (@fieryfinalgirl) to talk Weapons, horror obsessions, a little Halloween Horror Nights, and whatever the hell was going on with Aunt Gladys.

Seriously...why was she breaking all those damn sticks?
