Terrorific

BONUS EPISODE 05 | That demon keeps blowing up the phone like we owe it some money. Someone tell bruh to chill and go touch grass. Brimstone? Whatever. In this episode of Terrorific, host Brandon O. and the rest of the Creators Collective try to survive the night as they wrap up their spooky season collaboration. 

Welcome back! When we last left off, our hosts were in a perilous position, coming to you from an abandoned radio station with a Halloween broadcast that had gone awry. Forced to continue the show (and continue enduring some seriously unsettling tales recorded by their friends in the Collective), the entity on the phone has not only started to make those scary stories and urban legends a reality, but has now begun to learn who they are..

All hopes of escaping alive are starting to seem lost after Brandon fails to make a break for it...but will a ghostly host’s return from the past be what saves this group and ends this curse once and for all? Or will things only continue to get worse for these five friends from here?

It’s time to keep the broadcast going, are you ready to tune back in?

We wish you a very spooky, very happy Halloween! 

BONUS EPISODE 04 | Hold up, y’all are sending the token Black guy to go investigate those creepy-ass sounds? That isn’t the kind of DEI we need. In this episode of Terrorific, host Brandon O. swaps horror movies for supernatural roleplay as he teams up with the rest of the Creators Collective on a special spooky season collaboration. 

Tonight, we come to you from an abandoned radio station for a two-part Halloween series to broadcast some of the scariest stories, urban legends and real events live on air. Five friends have broken in with the plan to create something spectacularly and unforgettably spooky, but their night is about to take a twisted turn when a sinister entity that was lurking within the confines of the building begins to take the forms of the stories they tell… 

They are only given one rule - don’t stop the broadcast if you want to get out alive. 

Will they finish their show? 

Will they figure out what’s causing all of this? 

Will they make it through the terrifying stories recorded by their friends in the Collective unscathed? 

Tune in to find out…

EPISODE 40 | No leg day, no problem! Blast those biceps with our patented program and be ready to handle anything that preachy werewolf throws at you! Results may vary. In this episode of Terrorific, host Brandon O. wraps up season four by clawing into the 1985 cult classic, Silver Bullet.

Adapted from Cycle of the Werewolf, Stephen King’s 1983 novella, this 80s creature feature follows two siblings and their uncle as they team up to uncover the truth behind a series of gruesome murders plaguing their small town. As the body count rises along with the full moon, it’s up to the family to stop the beast lurking in the shadows before it’s too late.

Join Brandon as he uses his signature humor to recap the film’s plot and analyze its themes of family resentment, religious hypocrisy, and the struggle against one’s inner demons. Can we also talk about how sick that wheelchair is?!

BONUS EPISODE 03 | Full moons are obsolete AF. These days, all a werewolf needs is repressed childhood trauma with a splash of marital woes! In this episode of Terrorific, host Brandon O. and special guest, Isaiah Swanson (aka The Bitter Wolf), run as a pack to dissect Leigh Whannell’s 2025 supernatural horror film Wolf Man.

Set in the beautiful-yet-dangerous remote mountains of Oregon, Wolf Man tells the story of a family man seeking closure from his past and a revitalized connection with his wife, only to be infected by a disease that begins to transform him into a feral and noticeably hairless werewolf. Weird but ok. 

Listen along as Brandon and Isaiah comedically recap the film’s plot and discuss its themes, including parenthood, the importance of facing one’s fears, and the lasting impact of trauma on family relationships. Maybe just go to therapy next time? AND WHY IS THERE NO FULL MOON BRO WTF.

EPISODE 39 | Book your private flying lessons with Air Renfield today! Moonlit views with tastes of the finest reds, we guarantee you’ll have a fangtastic time! In this episode of Terrorific, host Brandon O. cruises the skies as he dissects the 1997 supernatural horror film, The Night Flier.

Adapted from Stephen King’s 1988 short story of the same name, The Night Flier follows Richard Dees, a cynical reporter for a sensationalist supermarket tabloid. While investigating a series of brutal murders linked to a mysterious figure named Dwight Renfield, Richard begins to wonder if the rumors that the killer may actually be a real-life vampire are true. As the story’s increasingly bizarre details unfold, Richard spirals into a dark obsession that threatens to destroy him. 

Listen along as Brandon finds ways to inject humor as he recaps the film’s plot and explores its themes of obsession, addiction, and the dark side of storytelling – particularly in today's media landscape, where true crime content is more popular than ever. In an age where the tragedy and suffering of others often leads to more clicks, it raises the question: who are the real vampires?

EPISODE 38 | Limber up and come on down for a relaxing stroll across the great ‘MURICAN landscape! Forget about those armed soldiers and just focus on that cutie patootie next to you! In this episode of Terrorific, host Brandon O. hits the road with a breakdown of 2025’s dystopian horror film, The Long Walk.

Adapted from Stephen King's 1979 novel of the same name (originally published under the pseudonym Richard Bachman), The Long Walk tells the story of a brutal competition where 50 teenage boys must walk nonstop while maintaining a minimum pace or face execution, until only one remains. Pretty awkward. Listen along as Brandon humorously recaps the film’s plot and analyzes its themes, including hope, political symbolism, and the queer-coded starcrossed romance at the heart of it all.

BONUS EPISODE 02 | Lions and tigers and an incel Bear, oh my! PSA: forcing someone to participate in a warped wet dream is very bad. In this episode of Terrorific, host Brandon O. and special guests, Alé & Tom from the Macabre Mondays podcast, try not to choke on the red-pills as they break down the biggest horror hit of 2026, Curry Barker’s Obsession.

Shot on a micro budget of $750K, Obsession is a supernatural and psychological horror movie that tells the story of Bear – a seemingly nice guy who makes a wish using the magical One Wish Willow for his unrequited crush, Nikki, to love him more than anything else in the world. What could possibly go wrong? Listen along as Brandon and Macabre Mondays’ married duo recap the film’s plot (adding humor along the way) and dissect its themes, including underlying commentary on toxic relationships, male entitlement, bodily autonomy, and the manosphere ideologies Bear represents. Seriously, this guy SUCKS.

Note: This episode contains extensive spoilers for Obsession (2026), which is streaming on Peacock at the time of publication.

Content Warning

This episode contains discussion of sexual assault, bodily autonomy, self-harm, suicide, animal death, graphic violence, and toxic relationship dynamics. Listener discretion is advised.

EPISODE 37 | Homicidal kids sacrificing their parents to a corn demon sure is one way to beat the flyover state allegations. Do we need to bring back spanking? In this episode of Terrorific, host Brandon O. frolics through the cornfields of Nebraska with a breakdown of the 1984 horror cult classic, Children of the Corn.

Adapted from Stephen King’s 1977 short story of the same name (later published in 1978’s collection Night Shift), Children of the Corn follows a couple as they unwittingly stumble into a deserted town where a cult of murderous children have a habit of offering adults to a demonic deity, He Who Walks Behind the Rows. Listen along as Brandon hilariously recaps the film’s plot and dissects its themes, including the dangers of blind faith, religious fundamentalism, and navigating external influences on impressionable youth. Someone really needs to ground those little hellions!

Is Children of the Corn Worth Watching? | With an average Letterboxd rating of 2.7, the film is often criticized for its slow pacing and lackluster execution, with Brandon giving it a personal rating of 1.5 stars. However, diehard Stephen King and horror fans alike may still want to give it a chance for its chilling premise and iconic imagery.

EPISODE 36 | Whether it’s fitted sheets, femurs, or fibulas, our equipment here at Blue Ribbon Laundry can fold anything! Stain remover sold separately. In this episode of Terrorific, host Brandon O. steams and presses his way through the 1995 Stephen King horror film featuring a bloodthirsty laundry machine, The Mangler.

Adapted from Stephen King’s 1972 short story of the same name, The Mangler follows small-town cop John Hunton as he investigates a series of gruesome incidents centered around a, seemingly demonic, industrial speed iron and folding machine. Listen along as Brandon humorously recaps the film’s plot and analyzes its themes, including the illusion of control and the inheritance of family burdens and trauma. Daddy issues much?

Is The Mangler  Worth Watching? | The Mangler is a Stephen King Night Shift adaptation that leans into occult horror, demonic possession, and dark themes of human sacrifice, generational trauma, and corrupt small-town power structures — all revolving around a killer industrial laundry machine. Despite being a collaboration between three horror legends — Stephen King, Tobe Hooper, and Robert Englund — the film’s silliness leads to misfires more times than not, earning only a one-star rating from Brandon (but a 2.7 average on Letterboxd). However, the use of gory practical effects should serve as a high point for horror fans.

Cast & Crew:

Robert Englund as Bill Gartley — best known as Freddy Krueger in the A Nightmare on Elm Street franchise

Ted Levine as Officer John Hunton

Daniel Matmore as Mark Jackson

Vanessa Pike as Sherry Ouelette

Dimitri Phillips as George Stanner

EPISODE 35 | Calling all seafood lovers! Come on up to Bridgton where our calamari is literally out of this world! It may bite back, but that’s a later problem. In this episode of Terrorific, host Brandon O. highly advises you to stay indoors as he analyzes one the best Stephen King movies with its infamous ending, 2007’s The Mist.

Adapted from King’s 1980 novella of the same name, The Mist is a science fiction and psychological horror film that follows David Drayton, a husband and father living in Maine who gets trapped inside a local grocery store with his young son and fellow survivors after a mysterious, monster-filled mist rolls into town following a powerful storm. Listen along as Brandon recaps the film’s plot and dissects its themes, as what begins as a survival horror story quickly evolves into something far more terrifying — a tale about what fear does to ordinary people.

From giant tentacled creatures and acid-webbing spiders to alien pterodactyls tearing people apart, The Mist is loaded with plenty of gruesome moments to satisfy any horror fan that Brandon hilariously breaks down through his usual dark humor. The Lovecraftian monstrosities are bad, but the biggest danger? A self-proclaimed prophet and her proselytizing. Godspeed!

Is The Mist Worth Watching? | Brandon rates it a 3.5 out of 5 on Letterboxd (in line with its 3.4 average), with the lackluster and aged CGI being the film's biggest weakness. But despite its visual shortcomings at times, it remains a masterclass in tension, character, and thematic depth that horror and Stephen King fans alike shouldn't sleep on. A new adaptation is also in the works at Warner Bros., with Mike Flanagan (The Haunting of Hill House, Doctor Sleep) at the helm — and Flanagan has confirmed it will go in a completely different direction from the 2007 version.

Cast & Crew:

Thomas Jane as David

Marsha Gay Harden as Mrs. Carmody

Laurie Holden as Amanda

Andre Braugher as Norton

Toby Jones as Ollie

Written, Directed & Produced by Frank Darabont

Themes Discussed:

Fear and human behavior — What do people do when survival instincts kick in?

Mob mentality and radicalization — How fear drives people toward false prophets and group violence

Religion and manipulation — Where is the line between comfort and control?

Parenthood and sacrifice — The film's ending as a meditation on protecting one’s children when faced with an impossible choice
