October may be behind us, but now it’s Election Day, which means the horror never stops… So we’re back again to catch you up on some of our favorite things we watched in the past month, a journey that includes student films, Gremlins, a Rob Zombie renaissance, and, of course, torture chamber puzzle boxes. Then we talk about what worked (and didn’t) about Netflix’s Haunting of Bly Manor before recommending a couple new VOD releases: 12 Hour Shift and Possessor! Join us for a debate on the meaning of “gore” and even a brief book discussion! As always, we try to keep it generally spoiler-free (with one major exception, noted below), but if you want to jump to a specific conversation, you can check out the timestamps below:
