How do you like your folk horror? Campy and with a kung-fu twist, or with a classy checkered suit in the Scottish highlands? This week, we've got a collection of vintage Hong Kong horrors hitting Shudder, including Hex and the Oily Maniac, and The Last Sacrifice, a "true crime interrogation" of The Wicker Man's real life origin story. Also - Goon of the Lagoon and The Beast of Trinity, Texas on Tubi and the first mainstream film to use AI to downshift to a PG-13 rating hits Netflix.

Do bad AI dubs make B-movies better, or much better? Does the Predator have a legal reason for shedding green blood? Why is Vincent Price's cookbook so terrifying?

Also, quick reviews of Bambi: the Reckoning and Send Help.

Would Darryl from The Office survive a quirky horror movie? Can a witch covered in campy make-up have fourth-wall-breaking PTSD? Would Wall-E be friends with a vampire?

Also - The Witch: Revenge on Tubi, A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night and a sidebar about everybody's favorite Disney robot.

If you can't trust a folk healer deep in the dark woods, who can you trust? What about an unhoused replicant with a boomstick?

Stay safe and warm, y'all.

Would you giggle like a middle schooler if you saw "bone lake" on a map? Do you think sharks are good metaphors for the horrors of war? If so, get ready to dive in - we've got Beast of War on Shudder and Bone Lake on Netflix dropping today, plus a thing-y conversation about Kurt Russell and Peter Cushing. We also discuss the best horror flicks from Minnesota and Iran.

It's a new year - and old aquaintances will not be forgot. This week, a documentary on the Texas Chainsaw Massacre's decades of "Chain Reactions" and influences hits Shudder and the immigrant K-horror blend "Death Name" is this year's first Tubi Original horror flick.

Nordic kaiju are back - the other Troll 2 stomps onto Netflix this week alongside B-movie classic Santa's Slay and Silent Night, Deadly Night on Shudder and Slither on Tubi.

If you're looking for indigenous horror to watch over Thanksgiving, you've got great options with Prey, Slash/Back, Blood Quantum and The Dead Lands.

Is there a better adjective for Creep and Creep 2 than, well, creepy? Find out this week when season two of The Creep Tapes hits Shudder, along with the unfairly maligned Krampus and the English dubbed version of The Ugly Stepsister. Tubi is in full form with Possession, an Showtime TV movie with Timothy Dalton and Christopher Plummer, Nuclear Hurricane and Reptisaurus, two high-budget gems that need no introduction, and the "difficult" Don't Breathe hits Hulu. Also, we proudly salute Predator: Badlands and struggle through spoiler-free praise for The Black Phone 2. Begonia ... ehh, not so much.

A horror junkie friend and familiar voice visits the podcast this week. My home recording audio setup isn't great but the conversation more than makes up for it.

There's vintage horror, and there's vintage horror. Mary Shelley and Abraham Van Helsing are the latter. This week, we get historical with Frankenstein on Netflix and Abraham's Boys on Shudder, plus everybody's favorite 80s cult goblin musical hits Netflix and Hulu.

Joe Bob is back in town on Shudder and I give a waterlogged thumbs up to Underwater and Lizzie.
