Spooky season rolls on as we head deep into the woods to celebrate 45 years of Sam Raimi’s horror classic, The Evil Dead!

Dave and Jack are joined by the returning Hunter and special guest Rory to revisit the movie that introduced us to Ash Williams, the Necronomicon, Deadites, and one seriously unforgettable cabin in the woods.

The crew dives into the film’s wild production, Sam Raimi’s inventive direction, Bruce Campbell’s legendary performance, the practical effects, its lasting influence on horror, and how a scrappy low-budget nightmare launched one of the genre’s most beloved franchises.

Stay out of the cellar, and join us as we celebrate 45 years of The Evil Dead!

Spooky Season continues on Reel Chronicles as we celebrate the 50th anniversary of Brian De Palma’s horror classic, Carrie!

This week, Dave, Jack, and special guests Rory and JC head back to Bates High to revisit Stephen King’s unforgettable story of teenage cruelty, religious fanaticism, telekinetic powers, and one seriously disastrous prom night.

The crew dives into Sissy Spacek’s iconic performance, Piper Laurie’s terrifying Margaret White, De Palma’s direction, the film’s most memorable moments, and why Carrie remains one of the defining horror films of the 1970s five decades later.

Plus, we break out our usual categories, look at what has aged the best and worst, and determine where Carrie ranks among the greatest Stephen King adaptations ever made.
