Essential Scares

PSA: Unfortuantely this week we ran into some technical troubles during recording that we did not notice until after we had finished the episode.  In the interest of keeping our original thoughts and to ensure the episode was out on time, we are using the backup audio.  If we sound a little worse this week, sorry!

This week, we sit down with Norwegian tourism ad TROLLHUNTER, a 2010 found footage movie that is surprisingly exactly what you expect.  We're all fans of found footage here...but does Trollhunter deliver?  More importantly...is it essential?

The crew plus reoccurring guest Ben sit down to get into the absolute classic that is Nightmare on Elm Street.  We laugh, we cry, we talk about Oreos for some reason, but all in all we have the arduous task of deciding if this classic is essential.

The crew sits down to discuss the new release Malignant!  Is it really scary, no.  Did we all have fun with it? Maybe, does James Wan lean into it too much? Maybe.  The real question at hand though, is it essential?

The trio returns this week to discuss psychedelic horror movie Beyond the Black Rainbow - as gamers, we've seen its influence in several titles, and despite it's very niche following, its touch has been felt in horror since release...but is it essential?

The core cast today sits down to discuss the cult hit film Lake Mungo. It fully commits to its found footage/mockumentary style, is that to its benefit or detriment? Is it a ghost movie?  Most importantly...is it essential?
