  • Episode 98 - 2020: The Best of a Bad Year
    What a year... but it's finally over! 2020 played host to real scenarios much more frightening to regular people than any ghouls or goblins in horror cinema, but the genre persisted and delivered plenty of quality films to enjoy in the comfort of our homes. Despite the blockbuster delays, the halted productions, and the exorbitant "theater at home" rental costs, horror was as productive as ever this year, especially in the realm of indie content, which saw an incredible boom–as such, there's no shortage of films to craft a top 10 list from. Your terrifying twosome, Barnabas and Samael, take to their final episode of a tumultuous year to discuss their personal top 10 lists, as well as some other exciting topics concerning 2020 horror.

  • Episode 96 - In Control
    There has been no shortage of original and adapted works in the horror genre capitalizing on the #MeToo movement, but Leigh Whannell's interpretation of "The Invisible Man" may end up being one of the defining entries. Altering the formula of the original film, this Universal Monster takes the form of a controlling, abusive boyfriend who finds a way to go invisible - and uses it to torment his former flame. Though it is a departure, this fresh take on the property has been getting critical acclaim, and in this episode, Barnabas and Samael reveal their true colors and submit an exclusive review. Does "The Invisible Man" hide behind its star power and lavish production value, or will it show up and become a modern horror classic? Don't be afraid... tune in now to find out!

  • Episode 95 - Your Deepest Desires
    What would you sacrifice to have your greatest wish fulfilled? Money? How about your own life? In the late 70s, "Fantasy Island" premiered on television and featured dozens of unique tales across seven years on the air, led by the enigmatic Mr. Roarke and his sidekick, Tattoo. Now, Blumhouse has resurrected the series in the form of Jeff Wadlow's film of the same name, but with an emphasis on horror! Will Barnabas and Samael's desires for a quality adaptation be met or suffer a cruel twist of fate, such as what awaits those who venture to Fantasy Island? Listen now to find out.

  • Episode 94 - Too Much of a Good Thing

    Stories tend to live on. Since the advent of cinema, novels and shorter-form stories have been adapted to the silver screen and altered in various ways. Famous tales like "Hansel and Gretel" and "The Turn of the Screw" have seen more cinematic adaptations than a person could count on one hand, but the more diluted and frequent the movies become, the more people appear to lose interest - and the higher their standards. In light of recent failures at the box office, like The Turning, Barnabas and Samael examine the phenomenon of revitalizing these all-too-familiar narratives for the modern age, and whether or not it's time to simply hang them up and look for new stories to tell.
