BINGETOLOGY

It is alive. Again. And again. And about four hundred more times. We tackle the story of the most adapted monster in movie history, from the original 1816 ghost story contest that started it all, through the various Frankenstein franchises, even the weird adaptations, to the most recent monster adaptations

Bring snacks. This one has a multiple body counts. I challenge you to binge at least 20 by midnight on Halloween.

WooHoo!!!!

Nine movies. Almost 17 hours. ZERO PEACE! 

This Halloween weekend, Bingetology's Binge Bite is taking you deep into The Conjuring Universe, where creepy dolls, demonic nuns, haunted houses, and questionable decisions are all part of the fun.

From The Conjuring to Last Rites, we're challenging you to survive all nine films in one terrifying weekend. That's 16 hours and 53 minutes of supernatural chaos!

Grab your popcorn, keep the lights on (we won't judge), and prepare for the ultimate Halloween binge.

🎃 Are you brave enough to take the challenge?

Happy bingeing... and whatever you do, DON'T LOOK BEHIND YOU!

WooHoo!!

Think you can survive 10 hours and 18 minutes of Paranormal Activity? 

We're talking 618 minutes of creepy spy cameras, mysterious noises, doors moving by themselves, and people who clearly should've moved out three movies ago!

This Binge Bite takes on the ultimate Paranormal Activity movie marathon. Can you binge the entire franchise without checking behind you, sleeping with the lights on, or questioning every little bump in the night?

Grab your popcorn, turn off all the lights, turn up the sound, lock your doors, and whatever you do, DON'T check the bedroom camera at 3:00 a.m.

The challenge is ON! Are you brave enough to binge all 618 minutes? 😱🍿

In 1960, a 34-year-old director talked a B-movie studio out of two cheap black-and-white quickies and into one color Gothic instead. It worked. What followed was five years of crumbling houses, candlelit crypts, and one actor whose voice became the sound of Edgar Allan Poe on screen.

Part 2 of our Poe binge guide steps into the Roger Corman / Vincent Price era, where the budgets were small, the fog was free, and the same castle set burned down over and over again. We get into what makes these films hold up more than sixty years later, the one that is hiding a different author entirely, the one that is secretly a comedy, and the viewing order that turns eight scattered movies into one very good October weekend.

Pour something dark. Dim the lights. Nevermore starts now.

WooHoo!!!

Prom night has never been so terrifying! This Friday on Binge Bite, we're revisiting the 1976 horror classic Carrie, starring Sissy Spacek, and talking about the new Carrie series. 

From unforgettable movie lines to telekinetic revenge, we're breaking down the four Carrie films and calculating just how long it'll take to binge them all. 

Grab your popcorn, because this weekend's horror marathon is going to be bloody good!

WooHoo!

AI is everywhere now, but Hollywood has been warning us about it for decades. In this Binge Bite, we’re talking about AI horror movies and techno-thrillers where smart machines, androids, AI dolls, and supercomputers decide humans might be the problem. Will they decide the fate of humanity?

If you’re looking for a creepy binge for October, grab the popcorn. These movies might have you looking at your phone, smart speaker, ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Muse a little differently afterward. You'll get chills and thrills because AI is here and who knows if it can really destroy the human race.

Edgar Allan Poe earned nine dollars for The Raven and died broke. Since then, Hollywood has adapted his work more than two hundred times. To kick off October, Bingetology's favorite month for horror binges, we're starting a series on how to binge Edgar Allan Poe.

In Part 1, we go back to the beginning: the silent era, D.W. Griffith, Jean Epstein's avant-garde The Fall of the House of Usher, and the Universal horror years when Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi brought Poe to life in The Black Cat and The Raven. Then we dig into why Poe nearly vanished from Hollywood in the 1940s and 1950s, to the rise of atomic monsters and sci-fi.

Next up in Part 2: the legendary Roger Corman and Vincent Price era. Keep an ear out for Poe Binge Bites all month long.

This week on Bingetology, I’m working through a streaming kunundrum: too many platforms, too many choices, and somehow still nothing to watch. We also get into the shocking realization that some Gen Z-ers have no idea which movies are actual classics. Yowza! Plus, I travel back in time to talk about the first film made in America and yes, with streaming platforms old classics can still be enjoyed.

Streaming chaos, movie history, generational confusion, and plenty of binge-worthy opinions. WooHoo!

As of Sunday morning, Spider-Man just came within two million dollars of the biggest opening weekend in movie history. Brand New Day pulled an estimated $355 million domestically, landing just behind Avengers: Endgame's $357.1 million. Worldwide it opened to estimated $927 million, second only to Endgame again.

This is reason enough to go see the latest Spiderman film, "Brand New Day".

Enjoy!

WooHoo!
