Horror is as hot as ever and there's one company that's been at the center of its resurgence more than any other in the 21st Century. No, not A24. Sorry, fanboys and girls. We are of course talking about BLUMHOUSE! It all started in 2007 with an obscure found footage gem called Paranormal Activity. Since then, the house that Jason Blum built has become the go-to name for spooky cinema, franchise favorites and the latest blockbusters like Obsession and Backrooms.

Griffey, Heath, Sam and special guest Hunter Griffey throw down for battle to see who's the real man of the Blumhouse! Who drafted the Most Messed Up Blumhouse movies? Let us know in the comments and visit our Instagram to vote on our poll.

Today Griffey and Dandino begin to unearth Folk Horror gems this month. We start with what is undoubtedly one of the meanest jaunts into the genre ever in Witchfinder General. They discuss how unlike other Folk Horror this film simply shows men using superstitions to their own benefit, the genius of casting Vincent Price as the Witchfinder, and the nightmarish punishments these poor victims suffer. This is the a pillar of the MESSED UP unholy trinity of British Folk Horror you must see to believe.

Synopsis: During the English Civil War, a young Roundhead seeks vengeance against a vicious witch-hunter and his henchman, who have terrorized the soldier's fiancée and wrongfully executed her uncle.

Starring: Vincent Price, Ian Ogilvy, Rupert Davies, Hilary Heath

Directed by Michael Reeves

Did we just see the best, most beautiful horror movie of 2026? Aussie horror scores again with the truly disturbing coming of age, gay conversion therapy allegory Leviticus. It's New Movie Monday smack in the middle of Pride month!

There's a lot to debate here from the true meaning behind the movie to the conservative, religious setting to the It Follows comparisons. We have high hopes for this small indie movie because it is one of the best examples of horror as the highest of cinematic art forms in the 21st century.
