Happy Halloween! With spooky season now in full swing, Mike and Brian throw out the usual format to dig into three of the big horror releases of 2004:

• director James Wan's SAW
• M. Night Shyamalan's THE VILLAGE
• and shark-thriller OPEN WATER, directed by Chris Kentis.

They talk genre rules, the power of twist endings and which of these three scary movies holds up best after nearly 20 years.
