On the two hundred and seventy-eighth episode of THE THIRD ACT PODCAST, the crew are experiencing strange tingling sensations.

Christian, Jericho, and returning guest Mayra Russo get together for a spooky season-themed episode titled "Horror Hive 2025" where they dissect three horror-adjacent films, William Castle's 1959 camp classic THE TINGLER, German artist/filmmaker Muscha's lo-fi punk curio DECODER (1984), and Alejandro Amenábar's 1996 cerebral thriller, THESIS. But first, THE SPIDER LABYRINTH (1988), MAGIC (1978), THE ETERNAL (1998), PLAY DIRTY, Larry Cohen's Q (1982), KPOP DEMON HUNTERS, HIM, THEY SHOOT HORSES, DON'T THEY? (1969), and ROOFMAN get the jumbo Recently Watched treatment. 

They also discuss 1950's domesticity/sexual repression, screaming to relieve tension, surveillance states, punk analog mixtapes, AI slop, audiovisual violence, and inviting your stalker to coffee.
