This busy period doesn’t look like stopping anytime soon and we are more than happy to keep the spooky season going for another month. After sadly missing its screening at FrightFest a few months ago; we’re extremely excited to check out one of the most talked about horror films of the year that we know almost nothing about. A rarity these days and we’re really glad we didn’t know what this film had up its sleeve. Elsewhere this week; Friday the 13th is finally returning and following many other iconic horror franchises by moving to the small screen. HBO’s The Last of Us gets a leaked release date. And we end by talking about a cavalcade of recent TV shows including the most insane episode of Chucky to date. 

Barbarian is available in UK cinemas and digital services worldwide now

As we get closer to Halloween it seems like Matt’s voice becomes even more zombified but the show must go on as we have way too many interesting horror films to talk about now and for the foreseeable future. V/H/S made its triumphant return last year to Shudder and now with this follow up, the 5th entry overall, can this franchise continue to be the perfect vehicle for filmmakers to bring wild and wacky ideas to the table? Let’s find out. Elsewhere this week, Tobin Bell returns to Saw last year and with the current state of the franchise we can’t get excited for it right now. And ending the show we once again look ahead to the films we have on the immediate horizon. 

V/H/S/99 is available on Shudder worldwide now

You thought the madness was over after finally getting to discuss the new Hellraiser last week but it’s only just begun. We now have the small matter of discussing the conclusion to the trilogy of Halloween films and the end of Michael and Laurie’s story. Last year’s film was a huge disappointment but this conclusion does serve us the entire premise of this new trilogy; the final battle. Surely it won’t be as bad right? Right? Anyways, also this week; V/H/S already gets a new instalment announced ahead of its return later this week. Hell House LLC is also making a return to Shudder next year. And the latest episode of Chucky gets us back on track after a rocky season opener.

The Hell Priest is back. The puzzle box is back. Hellraiser is back. After many discussions and debates we finally get to answer the question that’s been on our lips all year; can they make the first good Hellraiser film in 30 years? The answer might be a difficult one to process. Elsewhere this week; two new trailers for Violent Night and M3GAN have both caught our attention. Smile kills it at the box office. And finally we discuss the return of Chucky and what our hopes for the rest of Season 2 and catch up on some Middle-Earth shenanigans. 

Hellraiser is available exclusively on Hulu now

To kick off the spooky season we have an original horror film rated 18 that was released in cinemas. Not a bad way to start this crazy horror filled month off is it? Smile has an easy concept to sell and a fun marketing strategy but does the film deliver a scary smile or just an awkward cringey one? Let’s find out. Also this week; American Horror Story season 11 finally gets a name and date. Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu takes another step closer to reality. And ending the show we discuss the merits of a 31 days of Halloween challenge and get very excited for the return of two classic horror icons next week. 

Smile is available in cinemas worldwide now

**Sorry for the audio issues this week. Discord hates us. :( **

The cinema releases are coming thick and fast and next up is a psychological thriller boasting an all star cast. But can it bring something new to the genre in ways we haven’t seen before or is it just another sci-fi light drama with nothing unique to offer? Let’s find out. Also this week; The Last of Us finally gets a trailer and we couldn’t be happier. Night at the Cabin also makes a strong first impression. We also talk about Rob Zombie’s new ‘child friendly’ film and whether it’s worth a watch for his hardcore horror fans.

Spooky season is nearly upon us where a whole host of famous horror icons are about to return to the big and small screens hopefully with great new entries. But before all that we’ve got a film which snuck out while we were having a blast at FrightFest to catch up on. The Invitation is the latest new take on a tale as old as time; posh British families and the weird stuff they get up to. The premise had us hooked but does it deliver? Let’s find out. Also this week; we finally got our first look at Hellraiser which is out extremely soon and our first impression is a very good one. Ending the show Mike has finished Season 1 of The Leftovers and it’s as depressing and fantastic as Matt said it was and we discuss why American Horror Stories just isn’t what we wanted it to be. 

The Invitation is available on digital services worldwide now

Back in the cinema with A24’s latest offering in the form of a comedy slasher that gives a new take on the whodunit genre with a modern twist. Bodies Bodies Bodies takes the worst of modern civilization, throws them in a mansion together and sees how long they can last before they annoy each other to the point of death. But is the experience for the viewer a more fun time? Let’s find out. Elsewhere this week: Ti West turns X into a trilogy with another film announced before we’ve even seen Pearl. The Strangers is getting a remake with a new trilogy in one of the most bizarre news stories of the year. And ending the show we catch up on lots of recent TV shows including Amazon’s big budget return to Middle Earth.

Back to our regular schedule after the fun that was FrightFest last week; we are watching a film that actually features on our upcoming horror films list at the start of the year.

Elsewhere this week; Resident Evil on Netflix gets cancelled and Matt wants to throw a party about it. Hellraiser gets a release date and it’s very soon. And ending the show we talk about a new horror countdown show on Shudder and give super early impressions of a little show that just started on Amazon.
