May 10, 2023 Waxwork, 1988, Starring Deborah Foreman and Zach Galligan

They're joined by Bella Lu Ghostly, and even find a little extra time to deliver their monthly Horror 'Toots and Boots.' Have you watched Waxwork? Join us! It's a fabulous disaster!

Happy April Fool's Day! Are you a prankster? Has anyone gotten you good this year? Well, if you had rich friends like Muffy from the 1986 classic/let-down, April Fool's Day, you'd be scared...to DEATH! Justin and Auriane dissect this a slasher with no actual slashing, and discuss some of their other faves for the month, including 30 Days of Night, Wrong Turn, 2018's Candyman, and even Scream 6! Don't worry, we only give spoilers for our titular film--we won't ruin Scream 6 for you. Yet...

Is "Bloody Boobs" on Only Fans?! You can find your hosts, Auriane and Justin on Instagram @Aurianederudder and @JustinMayfieldArt.
