Nobody trusts anybody now… and we’re all very tired.

Welcome to the seminal horror film, The Thing (1982), directed by John Carpenter. The iconic film began as a box office and critical bomb. Today, 40 years later, it is considered one of the greatest films ever made. 

For the first time, Ryan and I also jump into some independent releases that are worth your time. Check out the timestamps below!

Welcome back to Bela Lugosi’s Undead! We kick off our first A24 horror run with Ari Asters Hereditary. It’s Spooky Ryan’s favorite film of all time, and one of the most memorable theatrical films of recent memory. 

After premiering at the Sundance Film Festival, the film quickly took the world by storm. It became the highest-grossing movie for A24 until this past summer, and Toni Collette became the must-see performance of the year. Scary and upsetting, Hereditary signaled the arrival of one of our best filmmakers.

Welcome to Bela Lugosi's Undead! 

In our second episode, we cover the straight-to DVD Trick 'r Treat from 2009. Originally released at a festival in 2007, the film took 2 years to find its way to home video. Since then, it's found its audience in the horror community, thanks to its inclusion at Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Orlando. Let's Halloween it up!

Next week, it will be heartening to see so many faces. But we'll be watching  Hereditary (2018) so I'm a little suspicious. 

Welcome to the series premiere of Bela Lugosi's Undead! 

In our first episode, we cover Drew Goddard's horror parody, Cabin in the Woods. The film recently celebrated its tenth anniversary and remains as poignant as ever. Plus, it's crazy fun.
