Topics include Halloween commercials, the 1990s panic over children getting hit by cars, and tabletop gaming. Join us!

We're back with another Patreon subscriber request episode, and it's a fun one: part one of a two-part examination of the Cosmic Horror subgenre! We try to define just what exactly "Cosmic Horror" entails, reveal our favorite H.P. Lovecraft stories, and use more ten-dollar words than in any other episode. STEP INTO THE BEYOND WITH US!

Check out @GaelenCMS on Twitter/Twitch/Discord while you're at it!

The long awaited second part to our 2018 catchup episode! We discuss the eighth (or eleventh depending on how you're counting) entry in the Halloween series. Dan gasps in horror as I synopsize Halloween parts five through eight, we piss off all the linoleum salesmen in our listenership, and there is a hearty discussion of cake-related idioms. Enjoy!

And we're back! With what was originally supposed to be a double-feature episode that ended up becoming a two-parter. So join us here for part one of a discussion on some of 2018's big horror releases! First up: Mandy, the new occult splatter film from Panos Cosmatos starring Andrea Riseborough and Nick Cage. Topics include occult bookstores, drugs, and where homage ends and ripoff begins. Enjoy!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN GANG! Join us as we celebrate not just Halloween but the 200th anniversary of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein by watching and discussing two of the most important movies in the Frankenstein canon: Frankenstein (1931) and Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948)!

Our very first mailbag episode! We field questions from you, the erudite Nameless Cults listener, including what's our favorite Vincent Price movie, who we think is the modern William Castle, and which single frame in horror scares us the most. Enjoy!

Our first Patreon backer picked episode, courtesy of listener Erik (on twitter at @Unrealized_Tomb)! We check out the weird and silly 1977 psychological thriller Scalpel, along the way we discuss Carol Burnett, decaying new world aristocracy, and whether people were just straight up eating cat food in the '70s. Enjoy!
