This week, Leslie and Sam dive into the reality-warping nightmare of In the Mouth of Madness, John Carpenter’s chilling tribute to Lovecraftian horror. The film follows insurance investigator John Trent as he searches for missing horror author Sutter Cane, only to find himself trapped in a world where fiction is bleeding into reality. As paranoia and madness take hold, Trent realizes that Cane’s work isn’t just terrifying—it may be rewriting existence itself.

With its eerie atmosphere, mind-bending twists, and existential dread, In the Mouth of Madness is a must-watch for fans of cosmic horror. Directed by John Carpenter and starring Sam Neill, Jürgen Prochnow, Julie Carmen, David Warner, John Glover, and Bernie Casey, this film delivers an unforgettable descent into insanity.

Pair this journey into madness with the Strain of the Week, Sour Papaya, a sativa that just might have you questioning what’s real and what’s fiction.
