Freddy Krueger is coming back — Paramount just closed a deal with the Wes Craven estate for the U.S. rights to the original 1984 “A Nightmare on Elm Street” screenplay, and the reboot will land under Paramount’s new horror label, Paramount Primal. In this episode we break down what’s confirmed, what’s still unknown (no writer or cast attached yet), and what it could mean for the franchise’s future.

Okay so Sony did a thing and the physical media world is losing it — we get into what’s actually going on and whether your 4K collection is in danger (spoiler: grab your popcorn, it’s a whole conversation). Also on deck: AI YouTubers straight up stealing creator content, Alex Proyas going full AI for his next movie, and the rumor that Christopher Nolan wants to make a horror film — which… yeah, we have opinions.

We're ranking horror's craziest, most unhinged women of all time!

Final girls gone feral, possessed killers, cult leaders, and straight-up psychos all get put through the Revival House tier list gauntlet: S, A, B, C, D. You vote, you argue, we rank.

Join us live as we debate which horror women deserve the top tier and which ones get sent straight to the basement. Expect chaos, hot takes, and probably a few fights over the chat.
