Welcome ladies, germs, and people of all genders! Join Taylor & Curtis as we bring you coverage on modern underrated horror films… or, at least, films that WE THINK are underrated (it’s just our ‘pinion!). Both of these films featured on our respective top 10s over the past few years and we really wanted an opportunity to highlight these two shining stars, two ABSOLUTE gems… really, we just want to make sure everyone just checks these two movies out! Does Curtis immediately spoil a movie before giving a spoiler warning? Would you turn your dad into the FBI? And how does one pronounce “M3GAN” (team “Em-Three-Gan” reporting for duty)? Listen and find out!

As promise in this episode, IF YOU WANT TO AVOID SPOILERS FOR ONE CUT OF THE DEAD, continue listening at the 35:55 mark, where we begin our coverage of the Clovehitch Killer.

Welcome ladies, germs, and people of all genders! Join Taylor & Curtis in one of our most beloved episodes of the year – our 5th Annual Christmas Episode! This year we discuss a cult classic and a new release while also laying the ground for our annual “top of” list for 2022. So fill up a cup of Christmas cheer to the brim, remember to stuff your holiday sack, and ponder life’s important questions such as… Is mommy kissing Santa Claus really a “turns you into a murderer” traumatic event? Is a violent Santa the sign of a society in decay? And is a “Florida Christmas” a sexual euphemism or simply a description of a joyless way to celebrate the holiday? Listen and find out!

Join Taylor & Curtis as we bring you coverage on lost horror films – or, well, previously lost horror films (obviously… I mean we watched something after all!).

The Old Dark House!) were once lost! Wow, what interesting discussion we have for you! How many times does Taylor reference JSTOR in her overview? Is Curtis’ love and admiration of Hitchcock (Hitch!) disturbing and problematic? And can you fall in love and decide to marry someone within six hours of meeting them? Listen and find out!

We discuss the development of the series, our reactions to all the films and the series as a whole, and discuss where we’d place it among the four (FOUR!) Halloween timelines before hopping into our Halloween franchise rankings.

How does the new series stack up to the other series attempts in the franchise? Can Curtis contain his anger towards Corey in Halloween Ends? Does Taylor secretly hate Rob Zombie? And can you have a good Halloween movie with a terrible Michael Myers mask? Listen and find out!
