Greg and Giles gaze into the future to see what lies ahead in weird movies! But first, we have a present announcement: "Freaked" (1993) is restored in 4K and now available on-demand (and in a lavish special-order physical set). Then, it's into the crystal ball to see what lies in the future: the 80s virtual reality gamer throwback "Obex" is set to debut in early January of 2026; Boots Riley announces "I Love Boosters"; a pair of psychological thrillers in development in the dream flick "The Sleepless Girl" and the Death Valley marathon set "Ultra"; psychedelic microbudget "Close-Up: An Odd-yssey" seeks finishing funds; and finally, thoughts on Yorgos Lanthimos announcing he will take a break from moviemaking.

Happy Halloween! Gre-gory Smalley and Giles Deadwards run through the week's weirdest releases this All Hallows Eve, starting with Radu Jude's absurdist take on "Dracula." Speaking of absurdist horror, France's "Vincent Must Die" (2023) finally appears in the USA in the form of a theatrical double feature. Physical media sees the release of two Canonically Weird films as "Catch-22" debuts on 4K UHD and the mythologically muddled "Malpertuis" makes its North American Blu-ray bow. Other physical media releases this week include "Edward Scissorhands," the hallucinatory African horror "Dust Devil," John Carpenter's Lovecraftian "In the Mouth of Madness," the magical realist "Chronicles of a Wandering Saint," the tentacle anime/OVA compilation "Urotsukidohi: Sequels of the Overfiend," and the remake of "The Toxic Avenger."

ERRATA:*The "Hallows Road" / "Vincent Must Die" double feature is airing at AMC theaters until Wednesday Nov. 5, not on Halloween night only.

Director W.M. Weikart joins 366 to discuss his debut feature, the surreal psychological drama "Soul to Squeeze." But first, W.M. helps Greg and Giles go through the week's new releases: Yorgos Lanthimos' highly-anticipated "Bugonia" finally in theaters; Ken Russell's "Altered States" enters the Criterion Collection; David Cronenberg's latest grief drama, "The Shrouds," debuts on Blu-ray; Lloyd Kaufman's obscene "The Tempest" parody "#Shakepeare's Shitstorm" debuts on physical media; Arrow releases "Three... Extremes" (featuring a quite surreal horror short from Takashi Miike) in a set together with the less-well-known Asian horror anthology "Three"; and the first two installments of the "Evangelion" reboot come to Blu-ray for the first time. Then we get to "Soul to Squeeze": the anatomy of the eye, Michael Thomas Santos' performance, and news that W.M.'s next project is "Something Strange." Plus, where to eat in Marysville, OH."Soul to Squeeze" on Tubi: https://tubitv.com/movies/100043072/soul-to-squeeze

ERRATA:*Park Chan-Wook has never been nominated for an Oscar, much less won one.*The Evangelion rebuild had previously been released on Blu-ray in 2011.
