We looked up Thanksgiving horrors for this months theme, and got this as a suggestion from the algorithm. This movie is one of Troma studios highest rated film, with a 67% per cent rating on RT. So it has to be decent right?.........Right?

We have enjoyed our Halloween offerings so far. That stops here. But Alicia was smart enough to sell her house and be unable to record, so we have Josh back. Enjoy the suffering.

Proving that you don't need money when you have talent, this movie with literally no budget was made by friends to entertain each other and you can see the love and joy that went into it. This is a fun movie to discuss and we learned a lot.

What do you get when you take a John Carpenter fanboy that worked with Rob Zombie and mix it with A list horror talent? You get ....well this. For a guy that came up making haunted house attractions, it shows some technical prowess and some genuine originality. Tony Todd is in this movie. For all the good and the bad that brings out in us. But we have plenty to say about the true star of the movie, Dr Death!

Mike is still back in school and we are taking some exams. Some people won't make it to next semester and you will have to listen in to find out who. Unfortunately Mike is sick so his dulcet tones are more smokes and whisky. John Carpenters Animal House - Back to school 2026

While Mike is actually back in school, and just getting started, we decided to begin our matriculation in reverse with Graduation Day! This is a film that is utterly chaotic and as unhinged as its lead killer. But, hey! We get music by new wave sensation Felony, whether we like it or not.

We do have a theme for this month but first we pay tribute to the man who first gave us Pennywise, and one of the best looking devils out there, Tim Curry. We recently lost him after a long battle with declining health, and had to give the LEGEND his due, with a review of a film that might not be exactly horror, but he is Satan basically so that counts for something.
This is the edited version of the episode which ran long at 1:44 so if you want the bigger longer uncut version join our patreon for it and other bonus episodes as well as an exclusive series where we review TV series
Bonus things to hear in the unedited 1:44 Version:
-Asides
-Trivia about Curry ripping off his own face to escape Darkness and how it compared to Jim Carrey's Grinch. more details on the studio fire
-Some goods about worldbuilding, and the supporting cast, establishing shots
-Bad about Lili, extra rant about the editing, sets, the rap battle,
-WTF about the ending being lackluster
-an honorary near kill
