Time for a new franchise, and this time we're mixing things WAY up. Slashers with creepy masks are out; terrifying children who put all of their hair in front of their face are in. Join us as we discuss a videotape that kills people exactly seven days after they watch it and wonder why a woman is inexplicably dressed like it's the Victorian era when this tape was clearly made in the 1980s. We'll also talk about Fred and Daphne from Scooby Doo, Cordie's Irish accent, and the best power move to play if someone tries to fire you. Also, this podcast will not kill you. We promise.

This week we're bringing you a bonus episode for all ages! You might remember Ruth from our interview with her in our episode on Halloween 5. She's back today to talk about her favorite scary movie: Hercules! She'll tell us all about what makes this a good, scary (but not too scary) movie, and what makes it similar to the horror movies that we usually watch.

It's time to look back at the Halloween Franchise, and boy do we have a lot to look back at! We'll try to sort out the multiple universes within the franchise, debate whether or not Michael is actually evil incarnate, and talk more about the film cars than anyone probably should. We'll also talk with Amanda and Julia from Spirits podcast to learn some actual Celtic mythology (which, unsurprisingly, is nothing like the movies).

Freaky Franchise presents Dangertainment: a live special event where 6 teens get locked inside the Myers house on Halloween night to try and figure out exactly what made Michael so evil. Sounds great, right? Wrong. Join us as we talk about why the last movie in the Halloween franchise sucked so bad. We'll also talk about Medieval literature, the best place to keep your flammable objects, Tyra Banks, and Catfish: the TV Show.

Forget the last three movies: Jamie was never born, Laurie faked her death, and she became the headmistress of a school in California. Join us as we talk about the new life that she's made for herself, and how the past is coming back to haunt her 20 years later. We'll also talk about mermaids, gross kissing, even grosser non-kissing, and Niall Horan crawling around inside your ear.

Join us as we talk about what is definitely the worst movie we have watched for this podcast so far. Michael's still on a murder spree, and we finally figure out why... kind of? We'll try and sort that out for you, but we've got to be honest, we don't fully understand it. We'll also talk about whether or not stars disappear, alternate universes, grandmothers/landladies, and the nickelodeon show iCarly.

It's been one year since the last movie, and Michael is ready for revenge... apparently. We're not sure exactly what that revenge is, but we do not that he's back to his old tricks. In this episode we'll go over Michael's latest killing spree, and have an interview with our special guest Ruth about celebrating Halloween. We'll also talk about barn parties, Jamie's powers of reanimation, and the crickets in our hearts and souls.

We're breaking away from our usual franchises to offer you a unique look into one of the most beloved Christmas specials. Turns out there's a lot of horror themes in Rudolph, including but not limited to: apocalyptic storms, monsters, fear of the "other", stranger danger, creepy versions of happy songs, captivity, and rejection from society. And also, tangentially, cannibalism. Happy holidays!

Michael has returned! Again! Join us as we discuss what happens now that Laurie has had an off-stage death and Michael is after her daughter Jamie. Along with that, we've got an update on the Great Cremains Debate of 2017. We'll also discuss trepanation, Jamie's abilities as a necromancer, and what this movie would be like if Dr. Loomis was played by a different Donald.
