As roundup season draws to a close, we finish strong with our highest ratio of recommendations yet: Pyewacket, Psychomania, Lake Bodom, Underwater, Lake Mungo, Leviathan, Little Monsters, Deep Star 6, It Chapter 2, and Tammy and the T-Rex. We recommend more films than you can shake a stick at, if you’re very weak in the stick shaking game that is. Also, the secret Derek and JR project Grey Seas Are Dreaming Of My Death is now live!

We’re back with another roundup, rounding up another bunch of things for your listening enjoyment. Feast your ears upon Beast, Pilgrim, Demon, The Marshes, The Red House, In the Shadow of the Moon, The Haunting of Hill House, Robert W. Chambers’ King in Yellow stories, The Criterion Godzilla Collection, and Arkham Horror 2nd Edition. Be sure to listen close so you’re not one of those suckers who buys Arkham Horror 3rd Edition by mistake.

The duo saw Richard Stanley speak about his plans for Color Out of Space about two years ago, so we would be remiss if we didn’t see how it turned out. We wade through the chuckling hipster-throngs that cling to Nicholas Cage releases like barnacles to give our thoughts on this relatively high profile adaption of Lovecraft’s personal favorite story, “The Color Out of Space” [there will always be a THE to us!“

We said we’d take January off, but JR thought you really needed to hear our opinions on Luz, so here we are. We also cover Nightmare Cinema, The Head Hunter, I’m Thinking of Ending Things, Starfish, Shocker, The Black Hole, Sweetheart, and Nekrotronic. Haven’t you all missed this?

Your work may not have given you a Christmas bonus, but we sure will! It’s not worth spending a whole episode covering Treevenge, because it’s only 16 minutes long, but talking about it for 19 or so minutes, sure. This is possibly the highest rated thing we have covered on the show, so check it out before you get a stump in the face.

Happy Crimbo! The duo end our holidays with The Children, the 2008 British horror film that asks the question that other movie already asked: who CAN kill a child? There’s a bit of a split on this one, with J.R. actually liking it (with caveats), with Derek complaining like an old person that it was too loud and hard to tell what was going on. Though he isn’t wrong. It’s on Amazon Prime so go watch and join in.

The duo cover Dead End, the 2003 horror film riff on the Twilight Zone trope of a family being stuck on a never-ending road while creepy things are afoot. This is nominally a holiday movie, as the family is traveling for the holidays; although if you think us calling it a holiday film is misleading, just look at that title: there’s no Dead End?! A Dead End is the exact opposite of their problems! Come learn about the the surprise runaway DVD success of 2003, where the attitudes are pure 90s.

It’s holiday time, so the duo review what is nominally a holiday movie, the 2019 “tone poem” I Trapped The Devil, essentially a modern riff on Charles Beaumont’s short story / Twilight Zone episode “The Howling Man,” extended to feature length. Come and listen to see how it all pans out, if you want to stay off the naughty list that is.

Some hard dolla dollas are probably the bonus you’re looking for, but we are offering you something better, time. Which is also money I guess. Thanks to us putting ourselves on the line you can judge whether experiencing any of these is worth it to you: Tigers are not Afraid, The Furies, The Institute, Full Throttle, Haunt, Creepshow, The Lighthouse, Overlord, Parasite, Kwaidan, and Wounds. Yeah, I know, I’d rather have the money too…

At last, our long national Ken Greenhall nightmare is over. The duo discuss Baxter (1989), the existential French horror film adaptation of Ken Greenhall’s short novel Hellhound (1977), and analyze all the ways the film follows and diverges from the source material, including ONE PRETTY BIG IMPORTANT change that is quite interesting, quite interesting indeed.
