Our 2026 RetroSpooktive finally comes to a "climatic" close with Wrong Turn 6: Last Resort. This "voyeuristic" journey of a young man who is called to West "Virgin"ia to claim a resort hotel that he's inherited. This "homemade video" brings this series to a "stiff" end for us. Also, we propose what social media would be like if we upgraded our ritualistic sex room. Yes, seriously.

It's the penultimate episode of the 2026 RetroSpooktive and we're cramming two movies into one show. First, Wrong Turn 4: Bloody Beginnings, where a group of college kids hole up in an abandoned insane asylum not knowing a group of hillbilly cannibals are calling that building home. Then, we take a look at Wrong Turn 5: Bloodlines where the cannibals need to break their mentor out of jail!

The next stop on our RetroSpooktive runs us into Wrong Turn 3: Left For Dead. The cannibal hillbillies are back as a bus load of convicts, two police guards, and some horny, drug-fueled college kids enter the wrong forest in West Virginia. You get three guesses as to which group is attacked first and your first two don't count!

Our RetroSpooktive rolls on with Wrong Turn 2: Dead End. This time, a team of producers and actors are filming a survival reality show and have chosen the hills of West Virginia as their location. Unfortunately, this is also the backyard of violent, incestuous hillbilly cannibals. It's a real fight for survival now!

Every year, we choose a horror series and take a look at it during our annual RetroSpooktive. This year, we're taking a look at the Wrong Turn series. Starting us off is Wrong Turn from 2003 starring Eliza Dushku. A group of friends and a roving doctor are stranded in West Virginia and are attacked by backwoods cannibal rednecks with superhuman strength.

It's Derek's birthday but you're getting the present. The movie that almost wasn't hits theatres and we're re-re-re-re . . . uh, giving our takes on it. Coyote vs Acme sees Wile E. Coyote (Super Genius) suing the Acme corporation over all of the products that have failed him over the years. However, there's something larger and more sinister at work going on.
