This week, to celebrate the month of his birth, Pete picked another movie from his childhood that he definitely should not have been watching so young - John Carpenter's Vampires!

This late 90's western tells the story of a church-backed group of cowboys who hunt vampires across the United States. James Woods and one of the lesser Baldwin brothers must stop the bad guy from Karate Kid 3 before he unlocks a dark magic that will allow vampires to walk around in the day time. Badass action and gay panic humor ensues!

Join us as we discuss the etymology of our favorite villain name, the importance of established rules for your vampire hunting club, and why soccer is the most important sport for vampire hunting training.

And as always, don't get too scared!

Killer dolls aren't born... they're made! Wait a second, that's obvious, not scary...

We've seen what the common man has done to survive the zombie apocalypse. But what was the government and the military doing while the world went to hell? If you guessed wasting resources and turning on each other, you would be correct!

This week, Pete talks us through the thrilling third part of George A. Romero's original zombie trilogy, Day of the Dead! It follows a group of soldiers and scientists living in an underground bunker, desperately searching for either a cure, or a solution, to the zombie outbreak. After having spent years in this claustrophobic existence, tensions flare, psyches break, and all hell is let loose!

Another example of the most tense genre of horror - socially awkward horror! And just in time for April Fool's Day!!

This week, Sarah walks us through "I'm Just F*cking With You", which is part of Hulu's Into the Dark film series. A man traveling to a family wedding stops at a small motel for the night, and encounters that kind of jerk who keeps teasing and making jokes, but waves away his a-hole behavior with a "take it easy" mentality. Things take a dark turn when the man's joke roll over into deadly seriousness.

Join us as we discuss the importance of travel plans, who NOT to accept food from, and why pranks just aren't that funny.

So grab a drink, take a spin on the dance floor, and as always: don't get too scared!

It's that time of year again. Time to celebrate St. Patrick's day with the best/worst tradition ever: a Leprechaun movie!!

Last year, Leprechaun went to the hood, and the studio liked it so much, they went back a second time! This week, Pete is discussing Leprechaun Back 2 The Hood, the follow-up that lacks any of the charm, humor, or self-awareness of its predecessor. This entry was so bad it put the franchise into hibernation for over a decade and had to be followed by a complete reboot.

Join us as we discuss shady fortune tellers, the mysteries of overnight construction jobs, and the disappointment of a non-magic using Leprechaun.

So hold on to your pot of gold, avoid any four leaf clovers, and as always: don't get too scared!

This week, Sarah discusses the 2017 adaptation about a woman who finds herself in mortal danger when her husband handcuffs her to a bed in a remote cabin and then promptly has a heart attack and dies.
