Doc Rotten is joined by Paul Cardullo to review Chuck Russell’s Witchboard (2025). Set in New Orleans, this remake of the 1986 classic from director Kevin S. Tenney, features Madison Iseman in the Tawny Kitaen role but named Emily for this version. A witchboard is found, a witchboard is used, and a witchboard kills a bunch of people. Leave witchboards alone, people!

Witchboard is out in theaters August 15, 2025. Is it worth a watch? How does it stack up against the original? How does Chuck Russell (A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors, The Blob, The Mask) approach the material? Check out this review to find out what the Grue-Crew think.

Some of you may not recognize Michael C. Williams at first glance, but stick him in a dark basement, turn him around, and have him stare at the wall—instant recognition. Michael is THE Michael from the now iconic THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT, which this year celebrates 25 years of forever changing the path of our genre. Michael’s career continues to grow with the release this month of GHOST GAME from DREAD films.

I had the opportunity to spend some time with Michael, speaking a little bit about the legacy of Blair Witch but mostly about his involvement in GHOST GAME. Check it out!

Synopsis:

“As part of an internet challenge to live undetected in a stranger’s home, a daring couple target an infamous haunted house and endure a series of chilling incidents as they witness a family descending into madness.”

GHOST GAME gets a limited theatrical opening on Oct. 18th – and then it hits VOD everywhere on Oct. 22nd.

Doc reviews the latest in the V/H/S franchise, V/H/S/BEYOND (2024)

Throughout her career, Lynn Lowry has amassed a resume that is second to none. She has worked with genre giants like Lloyd Kaufman, George Romero, and David Cronenberg and starred in films that are now considered horror classics. First stepping in front of a camera in the early 70s – Lynn continues to release numerous films a year – I believe in our chat – which you are about to watch – she mentions that she worked on 12 films in 2024 – amazing.

Out now on VOD from Breaking Glass Films is A HALLOWEEN FEAST. Lynn stars as Angela Long – an aging dancer who just maybe has been dropped on her head one too many times. Lynn is brilliant in the film and she and I sat down to have a chat about this current release as well as touching base on the other films in her iconic career.

Dave chats it up with Harold Perrineau the star of the MGM + series FROM. Season three debuts on Sept. 22nd.
