This week on Essential Scares we finish off the Fear Street trilogy with 2021's FEAR STREET 1666.  In a surprising move they ditch the slasher genre for something else - does it work?  More importantly...is it essential? **************************************************

This week on Essential Scares we've got another double trouble for you with a fresh dose of Fear Street and Resident Evil - first up, we talk Fear Street 1978; the second in the trilogy and the one most honestly paying tribute to a prior slasher, does it succeed?  We also discuss Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness - Netflix is putting a lot into the Resident Evil franchise right now with upcoming movies and shows, how does this frist entry fare?  More importantly...are either of them essential?

This week on Essential Scares we've got a big one for you - our first ever double episode!  Kicking off the week, we discuss Fear Street 1994, the first in Netflix's new trilogy of films loosely based on the R.L. Stine YA horror classics.  Following that, we talk over our first ever game on Essential Scares: Resident Evil 7 biohazard.  A spiritual reboot of a franchise and an adaptation built on homage, they wear their references on their sleeve...does that make them essential?

This week on Essential Scares we review THE FOREVER PURGE, the supposedly final entry in the Purge franchise.  A modern horror dynasty, the Purge has spanned five movies and two seasons of a TV, with varied success and genre stylings - in the end the political leanings are thicker than ever...but does that make it essential?

Let's get spooky sometime.

@EssentialScares | Linktree

Welcome to the Season 05 finale of the Procedurally Generated Podcast!

To celebrate, we'll be reviewing Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 - the movie that started it all for us and horror back in Season 04.  To help us out, we've brought back both brothers as guests, and they have a lot to say.

After the review, we talk about lore in videogames, specifically, what franchises we feel we would qualify as "lore masters" of.

We'll be back in a few weeks with some adjustments and a new season.

Until then, thanks for listening - it's been generated!
