Halloween might be over, but on The Hallo-Rewind, spooky season never dies. Jacob Davison and Ryan Cultrera are joined by the show’s own “social media Renfield,” Frank Gillen, for a spirited deep dive into the 2006 cult favorite Monster House.

The trio unwraps this haunted CGI time capsule, from its Amblin-style thrills and surprisingly heartfelt scares to its slight controversy and emotional core. They discuss how Dan Harmon and Rob Schrab’s script snuck mature humor into a kids’ film, why the motion-capture weirdness actually adds to its charm, and how Douglas Pipes’ score cements it as a modern Halloween classic.

Along the way, they celebrate horror icons Robert Englund and John Carpenter, debate the best and worst Halloween candy, and reflect on the rare magic of “horror for kids.” So hide your pee bottles, bribe the babysitter, and avoid the cranky neighbors, cause it’s time to step in to Monster House!
