It’s Spooky Month, and our first title of the month is A.M Shine’s haunting horror novel The Watchers—and its eerie 2024 film adaptation starring Dakota Fanning and Georgina Campbell. In this episode, Keri guides us through the shadowy threads between page and screen, exploring what the movie nailed, what it missed, and whether either version truly delivered the spine-tingly scares we were hoping for.

Hosted by Keri with co-hosts Lindsey and Crystal.
