Hey Horror Fans! šŸ“ššŸ”ŖšŸ©ø


Throwback Month is in session on The Horrorcraft Podcast, and we’re heading back to college—where grades are tough, parties are wild, and urban legends come to life. This week, Cass is joined by special guest cohost Cody Landman from Hellzone TV and Cody Reviews to unravel the 1998 meta-slasher gem Urban Legend! šŸŽ“šŸ“¼

On Pendleton University’s campus, classic myths like ā€œthe killer in the backseatā€ and ā€œpop rocks and sodaā€ aren’t just stories—they’re murder weapons. This one’s equal parts nostalgia and nails-on-chalkboard terror.

šŸŽ§ This episode’s breakdown:

  • Our top on-screen urban legends (still chilling!)

  • Why Urban Legend stands tall alongside Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer

  • Killer cast highlights—Jared Leto, Alicia Witt, Rebecca Gayheart, and more

  • That twist finale—cheesy, campy, and absolutely iconic

  • Late-’90s campus fashion that absolutely deserves its own spotlight

⚠ Trigger Warning: This episode covers violence, gore, and sensitive themes from the film. For a detailed breakdown of potentially upsetting content, check out DoesTheDogDie.com and search Urban Legend before tuning in.

Whether you first caught it on VHS, late-night cable, or at a packed midnight screening, this episode is a bloody walk down memory lane—so sharpen those pencils and slam your dorm doors shut.

** Stay spooky—and remember: not all legends stay legendary.**

Huge shout-out to Cody Landman for bringing Urban Legend expertise to the studio. This one’s a perfect throwback lesson in slasher college survival.
