12 min - Galaxy Of Terror (1981) 31 Days of Horror 2025
A quirky bit of Roger Corman-ite Sci-Fi Horror like this sounds great on paper...but how well does it work in practice?

13 min - House on Haunted Hill (1959) 31 Days of Horror 2025
It's always good to get back to the roots of your genre. And at Fright Lab HQ, there is no classic Horror actor more beloved than Vincent Price. And of his early cinematic output there are few movies more beloved than House On Haunted Hill.

Demián Rugna made waves in 2023 with Where Evil Lurks. Sadly, people seemed to have forgotten about Terrified. This movie is spooky and extremely dark, but does it live up to it's title?

It's good to get outside your comfort zone, or at least that's what Lucas' therapist says. As a result, he's decided to watch a Horror film aimed at the teen and young adult crowd. Is it any good? Is Horror important for kids? And how does it compare to the Horror of his childhood?
