Our Vampire month is drawing to an end. In this penultimate episode we look at Bram Stoker's Dracula from Director Francis Ford Coppola for it's 30th anniversary.
We talk about our first impressions of this film. Leigh talks about seeing it much later in life, while Simon talks about it being a game changer for him growing up.
How does this film hold up after 30 years? Is it still as impressive, and how do all of the unique visual effects stand up?
We get into alternate casting, stunt casting and unfortunately a fair bit of miscasting. Even with all of that, is this the most star studded horror film ever?
We discuss the interesting changes from the book to film, as well as what changes work and which ones left us scratching our heads.
Simon talks about his ever changing relationship with the film and how his feelings have changed into adulthood.
Leigh meanwhile doubles down on her initial thoughts and explains why she has such a hard time with this film.
We also discuss the mandela effect this movie has on people, and all of the things people take from this film as canon. How this has affected people's perception and understanding of the story and how it's effective all of the versions that have come after it.
All of this and a lot more in this episode.

In this special episode we have teamed with our friends Seb & Robbie from Cast Me To Hell. We are delivering part two of our look at Hellraiser as we break down the new Hellraiser film from the team behind The Night House. ***FULL SPOILERS FROM THE START*** We get into our initial thoughts about when we heard this film was being made. We break down our thoughts fresh from watching the film including what did & didn't work for us. Reboot? Requel? Reinvention? What exactly is this film and what is its place in the franchise? Are these some of the most insufferable main characters in a mainstream horror film? Why is it so hard to write a satisfying story set inside the Hellraiser world? How did we rate the new Pinhead and the Cenobites this time around? We also take a look at where the franchise could go from here and talk about some of our own ideas for future installments. All of this and lots, lots more in this fun filled, jam packed puzzle box of an episode.

Our Vampire month rolls on. Due to a change in schedule, we are taking a detour to Forks, as we look at Twilight. The first film in the hugely successful teen Vampire franchise.
We do our best to try and break this movie down and discuss it in a measured and objective way.
We talk about our first experiences with Twilight, our personal relationships to the material and why it's weirdly become a big part of our relationship together.
We discuss what a huge phenomenon this franchise is and why we think it became so big.
We get into the more problematic elements of the story, the characters and what is really behind it all.
Is Twilight actually a good film? How well does it represent Vampires and what things does it do well?
We address the problems with representation and the mistreatment of certain characters, especially as it pertains to real life people.
We also talk favourite scenes, memes, quotable moments and what things have stuck with us.
We finally round things out by talking about Twilight's lasting legacy, it's place in Horror history and who we'd cast in a remake/reboot.
We also give our thoughts on Werewolf by Night and Bodies Bodies Bodies.
So hold on tight our little Spider Monkeys and join us for this jam packed episode.

In this special episode we are looking at the adaptation of Grady Hendrix's popular novel My Best Friend's Exorcism.
We discuss our personal thoughts on Hendrix and his works.
We get into the film vs the book as well getting into the film overall.
The film tries to work in multiple different sub genres. Does it succeed at any of them?
We talk about tone, characters, settings and what works and what doesn't. (it's a lot of the latter tbh)
We were unsure as to what audience this was aimed at as it really didn't seem to have any appeal for any particular audience.

All this, plus news on Trick R' Treat 2 & The Crow.
Buckle up, because this one gets real rough real quick
