We've survived another 31 days of horror! Here are some of our statistics & recommendations from our hosts.

Episode 139: #31daysofhorror week 3 episode

By L October 17, 2023#31daysofhorror, Podcast episode, Season 4

Stef (@witchxpudding), L (@nocturnical), Mel (@heda_mel), & Matt peruse this weeks selections ranging from sequels that don't belong in the franchise at all to cosmic horror classics.

#31daysofhorror, day 12: Castle Freak (1995)

By L October 12, 2023#31daysofhorror, Season 42 Comments

This movie adds a new state of titties to the GITM cinematic universe “titties bit off by dungeon eunuchs” & that part is really fucked up. This is one of the rare horror movies where the subplot is more compelling than the primary weird element.

#31daysofhorror day 11: C.H.U.D. 2: Bud the C.H.U.D. (1989)

By L October 11, 2023#31daysofhorror, Podcast episode, Season 41 Comment

It's not really a C.H.U.D. movie & it's got nothing to do with the OG but if you ever wondered what would happen if nonsensical radioactive monsters became a zombie virus unleashed by a ne'er-do- well group of mulleted 80's teenagers, this is the movie for you.

#31dayofhorror day 4: Case 347 (2020)

By L October 4, 2023#31daysofhorror, Podcast episode, Season 41 Comment

The focus in this movie is off. It feels as if the writers room speed-listened to every episode of Coast to Coast AM in subliminal form while consuming an inhuman amount of drugs.

#31daysofhorror day 3: 1408 (2007)

By L October 3, 2023#31daysofhorror, Season 4

We continue last week’s theme of an absolutely insufferable main character with 1408, a psychological horror adapted from a Stephen King short story. & at least part of our disappointment with the film has to land on our expectations for King’s work & in some ways it’s typical of it.

#31daysofhorror day 2: Butterfly Kisses (2017)

By L October 2, 2023#31daysofhorror, Season 4

In theory this should be a good movie, it has all the right components — a compelling urban legend, a feasible found-footage scenario, and passable character motivations. But the characters themselves are inconsistent & fail to really compel the watcher to believe in their stakes.

#31daysofhorror day 1: Portal (2020)

By L October 1, 2023#31daysofhorror, Season 41 Comment

Have you ever wondered what would happen if some cursed native stuff happened & everything was white-people demons & the ghost hunters on hand weren’t even the knock-off Zac Baggins crew but some hungry YouTubers with normal haircuts? Neither have we.
