Blood Rage (1987) is the focus of this Do You Even Movie? discussion, with Henrique Couto and David Denoyer exploring the film’s story, cast, production, and horror legacy.

"That's not Cranberry Sauce!"

The Thanksgiving week is upon us so you know what that means, the Thanksgiving Favorites line up is coming to an end but don't worry because we've saved the best for last! This week, we're joining Henrique and David in Jacksonville, FL for slice and dice Thanksgiving film that leaves no leftovers and certainly is not cranberry sauce! An evil twin returns to his homicidal ways when the news is received that his brother whom he framed for murder has escaped 10 years later in 1987's "BLOOD RAGE" aka "SLASHER" aka "NIGHTMARE AT SHADOW WOODS aka "COMPLEX" !

Directed by John Grissmer and starring Louise Lasser, Mark Soper, and Julie Gordon. Hear your hosts discuss the Arrow release of this lost slasher classic that helped them both to discover it back in 2015, why Louise Lasser is a gem in very scene she appears in, how troubling the production was to a point it was almost shut down, why this makes for a perfect Thanksgiving horror film, plus Henrique shares his reviews for "Heretic" and "Anora", and is David ever going to figure out the proper use of "Legitimately"?

Monthly Spooky investigates spectral harassment, bizarre animal encounters, holiday hauntings, and the strangest headlines of the season.

Henrique Couto and Michelle begin with deep-sea fish washing ashore along the California coast and the folklore that treats unusual marine activity as an omen. Their post-Halloween catch-up also visits neighborhood trick-or-treating, childhood memories, and the delicate art of giving young visitors a playful scare without ruining the night.

The spooky-news desk brings a paranormal investigator’s report of a ghost making an unmistakably inappropriate advance inside a haunted museum, a giraffe lifting a toddler during a wildlife-park visit, a heat-damaged Abraham Lincoln wax figure, and the audacious theft of high-value cheddar in the United Kingdom.

Then the conversation turns toward allegedly true Christmas hauntings: Victorian houses that become active during the holidays, phantom animals and armored figures on lonely roads, and the spirits associated with Arkansas’s Crescent Hotel. The result is a conversational mix of paranormal folklore, strange news, seasonal nostalgia, and dark humor for listeners who like their Christmas cheer with a chill.

The Christmas hauntings segment brings seasonal folklore into locations that already carry strong identities: Victorian homes, lonely roads, and Arkansas’s Crescent Hotel. Phantom animals, armored figures, and holiday activity suggest that “Christmas ghost story” remains a broader tradition than one famous Victorian novella.

The news desk keeps its stranger items distinct—deep-sea fish, a giraffe lifting a child, a melting Lincoln wax figure, cheese theft, and an inappropriate museum ghost report. That mix of seasonal haunting and bizarre reality is the Monthly Spooky promise, with enough specifics for listeners to find the segment that drew them in.

Two classic radio dramas cross a time-bending New Hampshire bridge and follow a bloodstained rapier toward murder on Manhattan’s waterfront.

This Unknown Broadcast pairs CBS Radio Mystery Theater’s “The Covered Bridge,” written by Ian Martin, with Inner Sanctum’s “The Edge of Death,” starring Larry Haines. A honeymoon slips into another century, then an antique weapon tied to Rasputin draws two friends into obsession, violence, and supernatural dread.

In “The Covered Bridge,” a honeymoon journey crosses a New Hampshire landmark and slips across time, forcing the travelers to understand a past that should be unreachable. “The Edge of Death” begins with an antique rapier linked to Rasputin, then follows the weapon’s influence through friendship, obsession, and a Manhattan waterfront mystery.

Pairing the episodes creates a two-story Unknown Broadcast about objects and places that refuse to remain inside history. Ian Martin’s CBS Radio Mystery Theater drama offers romantic time-slip suspense, while the Inner Sanctum selection brings murder and occult menace. The result is a focused classic-radio listen for fans of covered-bridge legends, supernatural weapons, Rasputin lore, and vintage mystery.

A speaker watches golden sand escape his grasp and asks whether anything we see, feel, or lose is more than a dream within a dream.

Edgar Allan Poe’s short poem unfolds in two movements. The first is an intimate farewell: a kiss upon the brow and an admission that a life dismissed as dreamlike may still contain real pain. The second moves to a “surf-tormented shore,” where the speaker tries to hold grains of golden sand while they slip relentlessly through his fingers and fall into the pitiless wave.

The image turns time and memory into something physical but impossible to keep. Even one grain cannot be saved. The speaker’s repeated questions—whether hope has vanished and whether all experience is nested inside another dream—leave the poem suspended between grief, philosophy, and desperation rather than offering an answer.

First published in 1849, “A Dream Within a Dream” remains one of Poe’s most recognizable poems about impermanence, perception, and loss. This reading is brief, but its central image is ideal for listeners searching for classic Gothic poetry, Edgar Allan Poe audio, meditations on time, and language for the feeling that a loved moment is disappearing even while it is being lived.

A newcomer to an Adirondack town follows a grotesque local legend into the woods, where a six-foot infant monster wants to play with a bloody rattle.

Jon hopes New Ellsworth will offer a quiet new start. Instead, his job at the lumber yard introduces him to Sleepy Carl, Carl’s sister Edina, and a giant discarded diaper no ordinary baby could have worn. The locals call the creature behind it Oopsie Poopsie—but their nervous jokes conceal a family secret that has been growing in the forest for years.

When Sleepy Carl guides Jon toward an abandoned sawmill, the legend steps out of the shadows: an enormous childlike monster in a filthy striped onesie, armed with a bloodied rattle and a deadly idea of playtime. Escaping the woods will require Jon to survive Oopsie, the people protecting it, and the horrifying truth about how the creature came to be.

The grotesque comedy works because the locals treat impossible evidence—a giant diaper and an enormous child—as a familiar inconvenience. Jon’s outsider perspective exposes the humor, but Sleepy Carl, Edina, and the abandoned sawmill reveal that the jokes protect a long-running family arrangement with a creature capable of killing anyone invited to “play.”

Joe Solmo’s backwoods story keeps Oopsie’s absurd appearance and physical danger equally important. Adirondack folklore, lumber-town isolation, a bloody rattle, body horror, and townspeople who understand more than they admit make this a distinct rural monster tale rather than a random gross-out premise.

“The Legend of Oopsie Poopsie” is a narrated Adirondack monster story packed with rural folklore, splatter horror, body horror, absurd comedy, and a backwoods nightmare as ridiculous as it is vicious.

Story by Joe Solmo.

Seven people died around Chicago in 1982 after taking Extra-Strength Tylenol capsules secretly laced with cyanide, and the killer was never identified.

The poisonings began with 12-year-old Mary Kellerman and rapidly spread through the suburbs. Adam Janus died after taking a capsule; his grieving brother Stanley and sister-in-law Theresa then used the same bottle and became victims themselves. Investigators eventually connected seven deaths to contaminated packages that appeared to have been removed from stores, altered, and returned to shelves.

Terrifying & True follows the medical discovery, nationwide panic, recall of more than 31 million bottles, and investigation of James Lewis. Lewis demanded $1 million from Johnson & Johnson and was convicted of extortion, but evidence never proved that he committed the murders.

The still-unsolved Chicago Tylenol case permanently changed consumer safety. Foil seals, tamper-evident boxes, safer caplets, federal anti-tampering law, and new FDA standards all grew from a crime that turned an ordinary medicine cabinet into a source of fear.

The poisonings created two investigations at once: authorities had to find contaminated bottles already in circulation while determining where the capsules had been altered. The Janus family deaths revealed that one package could kill repeatedly inside a household, and the recall demonstrated how quickly a local murder could become a national consumer emergency.

The episode follows the unresolved criminal case without treating James Lewis’s extortion conviction as proof of murder. It also explains the lasting public-safety legacy—tamper-evident packaging, caplets, federal law, and new expectations that medicine should show visible evidence if someone has opened it.

Anne Winslow’s rainy-night taxi ride turns deadly when she discovers a man with a cut throat beside her—and the body disappears inside her home.

After missing her train, Anne accepts a cab ride to her isolated house. A silent passenger slumped against her shoulder proves to be a corpse, but the driver refuses to explain how the dead man reached the back seat. Instead, he carries the body into Anne’s living room, leaves her alone with it during a storm, and drives away while the telephone lines are down.

By morning, Detective Manson finds no body and no obvious evidence that Anne’s terrifying passenger ever existed. The nightmare becomes real again when blood appears beneath a chair cushion and the same cab driver returns. He knows Anne can identify him, and he understands that a sympathetic detective may eventually believe her.

“The Corpse Nobody Loved” turns a missing train, an untraceable taxi, a vanished murder victim, and an isolated house into a compact crime-horror mystery. The richer synopsis establishes the danger without revealing who ultimately answers the door or how the dead man affects the final confrontation.

A cruel king humiliates his court jester once too often, inspiring a masquerade revenge built from chains, costumes, fire, and poetic justice.

Hop-Frog and his friend Trippetta were taken from their homeland and forced to entertain a king whose seven ministers share his appetite for practical jokes. The jester’s body makes movement painful, and alcohol drives him into a dangerous frenzy, yet the king orders him to drink for the court’s amusement. When Trippetta begs for mercy, the monarch throws wine in her face.

Hop-Frog responds with the perfect entertainment for an upcoming masquerade. He disguises the king and ministers as eight chained orangutans, coating them in tar and flax and letting the guests believe wild animals have invaded the hall. The joke gives the abused performer control of the room, the chain, and the consequences.

Edgar Allan Poe’s “Hop-Frog” is a fierce Gothic revenge story about cruelty, captivity, disability, spectacle, and power reversing in front of an audience. The terror comes not from a supernatural monster but from a brilliant entertainer using the court’s own desire for humiliation against it. This atmospheric reading preserves the complete story title and Poe authorship for classic-horror discovery.

Sorority sister Jaxey Jynx follows three pale strangers into the Backwoods of Strickfield and discovers a ghoul matriarch recruiting daughters for an immortal family.

Jaxey, Renny Stafford, and Paulette Peterson meet Kirsh, Stephen, and Xander during a Friday the 13th marathon at the Strickfield Drive-In. The men’s vintage appearance and cold skin trigger Jaxey’s suspicion, but her friends accept an invitation to their secluded home. There, the elegant Victoria speaks of marriage, family, and belonging while neither she nor her sons touch the cheese on the table.

Renny and Paulette return to the sorority house transformed and ravenous. Jaxey realizes their new appetites began with the men and returns to Victoria’s house carrying a baseball bat. She learns that born ghouls stop aging, feed on human flesh, and can turn mortals through sex or blood. Victoria does not intend to waste the only recruit who resisted her sons.

Rob Fields’s “Matriarch” is mature campus horror about ghoul law, sorority sisterhood, predatory courtship, supernatural transformation, and a family structure that treats consent as an obstacle. The initiation promises eternal youth and power, but membership means changing what—and who—the sisters consider food. Story by Rob Fields.

A smiling stranger stepped from a lantern-shaped craft on a West Virginia road and spoke directly into salesman Woodrow Derenberger’s mind.

Terrifying & True investigates Indrid Cold, the “Grinning Man” introduced through Derenberger’s famous 1966 encounter near Mineral Wells. The witness described an outwardly human visitor with a fixed, unnerving smile who communicated telepathically, asked personal questions, and claimed peaceful intentions. Derenberger later reported continued contact, drawing intense media attention as well as public ridicule and skepticism.

Writer John Keel connected Cold’s story to the wave of strange events surrounding Point Pleasant and popularized it in The Mothman Prophecies. From there, the smiling visitor became entangled with Mothman, UFO lore, government-experiment theories, and modern paranormal fiction—even though the evidence ultimately rests on witness accounts rather than physical proof.

Was Indrid Cold an extraterrestrial, a psychological experience, a story transformed by fame, or an American folk character born during the anxious 1960s? This episode traces the encounter and the legend that grew around its impossible grin.

Indrid Cold, the Grinning Man is examined through surviving evidence, historical context, and the later claims that shaped public memory, without presenting speculation as a solved answer.
