Class is back in session, and the phone won’t stop ringing...so naturally, Mista Malave and Sabrina Ace decided to answer it. This week, your unqualified educators of evil dive headfirst into The Black Phone 2, Blumhouse’s latest reminder that sometimes it’s better to let unknown numbers go to voicemail.

The Grabber’s back with a more “hands-on” curriculum, Ethan Hawke’s giving full Freddy Krueger exchange-student energy, and somehow Finney’s too busy training dragons to show up for class, so the spotlight falls on Gwen, the only one still doing the homework.

We’re talking missing kills, overactive grabbers, and Blumhouse’s undying love for milking sequels until the audience develops Stockholm Syndrome. So grab your rotary phone, ignore the static, and let’s see if this call is worth answering…

Tonight at Night School Horror, class is in session, and the lesson? Never let Netflix do your homework for you. We’re diving headfirst into Monster: The Ed Gein Story, a show so “based on true events”.

The faculty tears into everything from Charlie Hunnam’s Oscar-worthy audition for Creepiest Mama’s Boy Alive to the series’ creative “liberties” (read: lies so bold they deserve their own SAG card). Along the way, we unpack the messy blend of mental illness, media exploitation, and true crime clickbait that somehow turned a grave robber into binge-worthy content.

From Psycho to Texas Chainsaw Massacre, we follow Ed Gein’s nasty fingerprints across horror history, asking the hard questions: why do women always get the short end of the shovel, and how much sensationalism is too much when the truth was already nightmare fuel?

And honestly.... do you believe “Owner of a Lonely Heart” fit that final Titanic/Stairway to "HELL" scene?

Tommy James and Big Money Eddie put on their hazmat suits and wade through the radioactive mess that was the Alien Earth finale. Spoiler alert: it sucked. From limp storytelling and cardboard “character arcs” to the ever-present fingerprints of corporate greed, our boys dissect how Hollywood once again proved it can milk a franchise until it’s bone-dry. Along the way, they chew over the role of horror in the Alien universe, gush (and gag) about the beauty of the xenomorph design.  In the end, the lesson is clear: if you’re a Hollywood writer, maybe stop writing like your audience has the memory span of a goldfish.

Grab your tissues, your chew toys, and maybe a stiff drink, because this episode of Night School Horror gets weirdly emotional. The Movie Guy BayBay, Florida’s Favorite Creep Sabrina, and Mista Malave dive nose-first into the indie gut-punch Good Boy. From Indy the dog’s POV (seriously, give that pup an Oscar), to the big themes of life, death, and the subtle reminder that we’re all just killing time until the Grim Reaper shows up—this one’s a ride. Expect dramatic cinematography breakdowns, existential dread dressed up as sarcasm, and emotional punches you won’t see coming. Because sometimes horror isn’t just about blood and guts… sometimes it’s about realizing the only thing standing between you and the void is a four-legged friend who actually is a good boy.

Indy’s a good boy, Todd.

Good Boy will be releasing in USA Cinemas on October 3rd and UK Cinemas from October 10th

A loyal dog moves to a rural family home with his owner Todd, only to discover supernatural forces lurking in the shadows. As dark entities threaten his human companion, the brave pup must fight to protect the one he loves most.

Strap in, students, Tommy James and Big Money Eddie are back in session, and this time they’re dissecting episodes 5 and 6 of Alien Earth. Yes, the show where corporate greed is scarier than the monsters, pacing issues move slower than a Xenomorph on Ambien, and somehow… the aliens are the ones we feel bad for.

The boys wade through philosophical plant life, identity crises, and the looming “machines rise up” subplot that absolutely no one asked for, but we’re all here for anyway. Predictions fly, shade is thrown, and somewhere in the chaos Tommy proves that the scariest thing in the universe might just be his inability to pronounce Timothy Olyphant. (Offright? Oaf-lint? Who knows?)

Tommy James and Mista Malave crack open The Conjuring: Last Rites and let’s just say the spirits aren’t the only things restless. From Michael Chaves’ direction to the Smurl family case, they dig into mirror metaphors, character arcs, and the eternal soap opera that is the Warrens. Expect previous film war stories, eye-rolling at the plot holes, and a brutally honest breakdown of what worked, what didn’t, and where the franchise should’ve quit while it was ahead. Oh, and yes.....they rank the whole Conjuring universe, so prepare for blasphemy.

On this episode of Night School Horror, Tommy James and Big Money Eddie sink their teeth into the indie horror-comedy Draculaw. They pick apart its charm, budgetary bruises, and that whole “time as an energy vampire” thing—because nothing says horror like losing a weekend to deadlines. From pacing quirks to soundtrack surprises, the hosts balance praise with playful stabs of criticism, proving once again that low-budget doesn’t mean low-bite.

Class is in session, and this week Tommy James and Big Money Eddie crack open the latest episode of Alien: Earth. The boys question whether the franchise is boldly going… or just cashing checks. From creepy kid characters to corporate overlords, from AI asking “do you love me?” to the soundtrack making sure you do, nothing escapes detention. Expect talk of cyborg xenomorph nightmares, real-world capitalism bleeding into sci-fi, and whether Timothy Olyphant just graduated top of the class.

Welcome back to Night School Horror, where we learn that apparently Portland, Oregon loves to Naruto run and Tommy’s Aunt Edna/Gladys keeps breaking damn sticks like she’s auditioning for Pennywise in the remake to National Lampoons Vacation.

This week, Tommy and Sabrina open our doors to a new student Edy (@fieryfinalgirl) to campus as the class spirals into horror obsessions, Halloween Horror Nights hype, and the gloriously unhinged film Weapons. Think Tarantino, voodoo, witchcraft, and just enough gore to make you gag and giggle. The faculty debates if Weapons is horror, thriller, or just a fever dream with body parts and agree that not a single adult here deserves a parent-teacher conference.

So yeah, expect laughs, insights, and applause breaks for carnage.

Do you really want to meet Tommy's Aunt Edna/Gladys? Drop us a 5-star rating, and we’ll send her to your house with her stick collection. (You’ll regret it. But isn’t that why you listen?)

Your Favorite Movie Therapist and The Cigarette Smoking Man crack open Episode 3 of Alien Earth “Metamorphosis.” We mourn the surprisingly anticlimactic death of Ashley the Xenomorph, while also celebrating the glorious comeback of acid blood, the franchise’s most reliable supporting character. Timothy Olyphant continues to add depth and swagger, while the hybrids keep things messy, weird, and fascinating in all the best soap-opera-from-space ways.

From Peter Pan parallels to philosophical callbacks that scream Prometheus, this episode serves up big ideas—and even bigger WTF moments. Wendy’s "transformation" raises some serious questions, the facehugger reclaims its throne as plot MVP. Bottom line: the show promises even more bizarre, exciting revelations ahead… whether we’re ready or not.

And hey! Do you think Timothy Olyphant is as amazing as we do? If so, enroll at Night School Horror, drop us a 5-star rating, and we’ll see if he’ll show up to your birthday party. (No promises, but we’ll bring the acid blood cake.)
