- Let's Scare Jessica to Death (1971) 31 Days of Horror 2025
If Creepshow is too joyful, and The Autopsy of Jane Doe is too directly intense, maybe Let's Scare Jessica To Death is going to be more to your tastes. This 1971 slow-burn has been making the rounds of critical re-discovery in the last few years. So naturally Lucas needs to offer some insights.

Arguably the best loved Anthology Horror film of all time, Creepshow is a virtually iconic piece of Horror history. Lucas hasn't seen this movie in multiple decades. He also doesn't like Anthologies but is feeling a little nostalgic. How well does Creepshow hold up? Is it still funny?
