In this week’s 31 for 31 installment, I’m joined once again by my colleague and horror co-conspirator Steven Doughty for a deep dive into three wildly different but equally disturbing films: Talk to Me (2023), Tetsuo: The Iron Man (1989), and The Ritual (2017).

We dig into grief and possession, body-metal madness, and Norse forest nightmares — unpacking what makes each film tick, twitch, and terrify. I also drop my ratings for V/H/S Halloween, Hausu, Ready or Not, The Monkey, and House of the Devil.

This episode features music from:

• LVTHN – ⁠The Spirit of the Flesh in the Flesh of the Spirit⁠
• Goatshit – ⁠A Year of Shit⁠
• Nightbreed – ⁠“Torn Apart by Demons”⁠

Grab your headphones, light the candles, and dive into the weird with us — where underground horror meets heavy sound.
