Oh hello, horror fans! Let your disappointment come to an end, because Jake and Trisha are back with a brand new movie to debunk! This time, they're digging into the true tale behind the basically unknown 2016 film The Disappointments Room. Have you heard of it? Yeah, neither have we.

The best part? Joining Jake and Trisha this week is the one, the only, the legendary scream queen herself...Danielle Harris! You know Danielle from her iconic roles as Jamie Lloyd in Halloween 4 and 5,  as Annie Brackett in the Rob Zombie remake and its sequel, she's in Urban Legend, Hatchet 2 & 3, and oh so much more. Plus, you can catch her reprising her role as Molly Tilden on The Conners this season! Follow her on Instagram: @horrorgal

Ok, horror fans. Ready for the truth? Or did the Mothman already warn you about what's to come in this episode? Better listen to see if he's right.
