The boys head to the abandoned town of Shelby Oaks! Does Chris pull of this first feature?

Tonight we’re summoning The Empty Man — a film that bombed on release but found a cult following among horror fans who crave something stranger, slower, and smarter.

We talk about why The Empty Man was marketed like a teen creepypasta movie but is actually a cosmic horror detective story about grief, faith, and identity. With echoes of Fincher, Carpenter, and Lovecraft, this might just be one of the most underrated horror films of the 2020s.

The guys return to Halloween town but there has been some changes. Is this movie really as bad as it seems?

Tonight we step into the eerie calm of The Night House (2020), directed by David Bruckner and starring Rebecca Hall. This psychological horror film turns grief into a mirror maze—literally. We unpack its haunted architecture, ambiguous ending, and how it visualizes depression, loss, and the fear of meaninglessness.

Join us as we talk symbolism, symmetry, and the lingering terror of “nothing.”

It’s Night 23 of 31 Nights of Halloween, and we’re barking up a different haunted house.

In Good Boy (2025), director Ben Leonberg takes us into the uncanny through the eyes — and ears — of a dog. When Todd and his furry companion move back to his late grandfather’s house, they uncover something deeply wrong within the walls. The catch? We’re seeing it all from the dog’s perspective.

We break down how this indie horror uses sound design, framing, and empathy to transform a familiar ghost story into something quietly devastating. We also talk about what makes animal-POV horror so unnerving, whether the movie earns its scares, and how it stands alongside 2025’s surprise indie hits.

Tonight’s episode sinks its teeth into Dog Soldiers (2002), a cult classic that redefined the werewolf movie for a new generation. We discuss its gritty military realism, clever use of budget, and why Neil Marshall’s debut still stands tall two decades later. From its memorable transformations to the perfect mix of dark humor and brutality, Dog Soldiers is a howling good time that deserves more recognition in horror history.

It’s Night 21 of 31 Nights of Halloween, and we’re going old-school PBS! Tonight, we revisit Wishbone’s “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” — a half-hour episode that somehow mixes classic American Gothic horror with one of the most wholesome dogs on TV.

We talk about what made Wishbone special, why it still holds up, and how this children’s retelling of Washington Irving’s story might actually be one of the best Sleepy Hollow adaptations ever made. 🐶🎃

👻 Night 20 of 31 Nights of Halloween!

Tonight, we’re heading into Scooby-Doo and the Alien Invaders (2000), one of the most memorable and downright weirdest entries in the Scooby-Doo movie lineup. This time, the gang gets stranded in the desert after a UFO encounter — but things get even stranger when Shaggy falls in love… with someone who might not be from Earth.

We’ll break down the animation, the music, that wild twist ending, and how this film marked a tonal shift from the darker, spookier early direct-to-video era to a more heartfelt, sci-fi vibe.

👽 UFOs, government conspiracies, desert hippies, and 2000s alien aesthetics — Scooby-Doo and the Alien Invaders is pure nostalgia fuel.

Night 19 of our 31 Nights of Halloween marathon dives into Peter Cilella’s Descendent (2025) — a haunting blend of alien abduction and domestic horror. Ross Marquand stars as a man losing his grip on reality after a mysterious encounter, in a film that turns fatherhood fears into full-on sci-fi dread.

Welcome back to Night 17 of our 31 Nights of Horror! Tonight we’re heading to France for one of the strangest, most emotional zombie films in years — MadS (2025).

This one’s more than just gore — it’s surreal, tragic, and totally unpredictable. We talk about its mix of body horror, psychological dread, and how it twists the idea of infection into something deeply human.

Grab your snacks, dim the lights, and join us for this chilling deep dive into France’s newest horror export.
