It's buggy, the level design is wonky, inventory management's a pain, and the dialogue trees make no sense. It's the sequel to a movie that's based on a video game made with less than half the budget of the original, so you know it's quality entertainment. Join Dawn as she levels up in patience, taking cheap shots at 2012's Silent Hill: Revelation. What's the big revelation? Sean Bean doesn't die AND Sean Bean dies.

Christmas in July continues as Dawn and Jen look at Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale, another twist on classic Christmas fare from Finland. There's something buried under a mountain and when it's free, the true meaning of Christmas is revealed. It's a really wonderful film with a great heart, some fantastic nose acting, and a few horrific implications when you actually stop to think about that ending. No, really, it's super-creepy. So of course they recommend it for your whole family. There's also an update on what the Women In Caskets are up to, a HUGE thanks to everyone we saw at RTX, and another depressingly necessary commentary on current events.

Welcome to Christmas in July where Dawn and Jen use the non-holiday to talk about some holiday movies they might have forgotten to watch over the actual holidays. Today's feature is 2015's twist on the family holiday movie: Krampus. Along with some truly brilliant practical puppetry, an A+ subversion of sappy Christmas tales, and a truly horror-worthy ending, the hosts sing the praises of the humble casting director, Jen has a problem with envelopes and Dawn takes a missed plot opportunity and makes it better with a Tremors reference. NOTE: We realize we got Conchata Farrell's name wrong in the podcast and for that we are truly sorry. Seriously, she's awesome. Thanks always to The Shape for the intro/outro music.

Note: This episode contains a special forward regarding the shooting at the Pulse club in Orlando Florida on June 12th 2016. If you find discussion of this event particularly triggering, the message ends at time stamp 9:15. You've heard them mention it many a time, now it's time for Jen and Dawn to tell you why they love (and love to hate) the CW series Supernatural. Its brotherly banter, top-shelf spooks and a strong cast of characters often find themselves at odds with rampant fridging and its treatment of women, minorities and LGBT characters, but they love it anyways. Plus, Dawn is right. For once. If you want to help the survivors of the Orlando shooting and make sure something like this never happens again, do something.

After our look at The Final Girls, Dawn and Jen examine the concept of horror movie deconstruction in a bit more detail. There's a little bit of history, some great examples, and, well, a few detours to talk about peanut butter cups, The Brady Bunch and Jen's continuing crush on Josh Hartnett. All of this with a look at what's coming up for the Women In Caskets for the next few months. Thanks always to The Shape for the intro/outro music.

Jen and Dawn look back at the 2015 gem, The Final Girls, which does what so many other movies fail to do: subvert the traditional final girl trope while being the perfect example of the final girl trope. Cliches that aren't as shallow as you think, a plot that keeps moving whether the characters want it to or not and Dawn's desperate attempt to keep at least one damn plot point a secret for the audience made for a fun chat.

Thanks to some shoddy guesswork and the foibles of public voting, the Women In Caskets recently lost a bet. The result is this, a podcast so filled with frustration and disappointment, it might as well be an episode of So You Don't Have To. What did we watch? Gingerdead Man vs. Evil Bong So join Dawn and Jen as they take a look at this cinematic marvel of epic failure, sexist commentary, outright racism, and oh, we wish we were kidding, a pastry tribunal. The winner of Save Horror's March Madness bracket challenge was Mindy of The Rants Macabre. Our fellow losers were The Miskatonic Musings and The Girls In The Back Row. All of these people have great podcasts and you should check them out! Thanks always to The Shape for the intro/outro music.

Layers like an onion. Critiques sharper than Freddy's knives. More meta commentary than a grad school literature class. What is it? Wes Craven's New Nightmare. There's so much depth and commentary in this movie we probably could have done two podcasts on it, but we managed to cut it down to one. We really hope you've enjoyed listening to our Nightmare on Elm Street retrospective as much as we did recording it. Stay tuned for something new next podcast! Nightmare 2 was covered in Episode 11. Nightmares 1 and 3 were covered in Episode 24 and Episode 25. Nightmares 4 and 5 were covered in Episode 26 and Episode 27. Freddy's Dead and Freddy v Jason were covered in Episode 28 and Episode 29. New Nightmare Soundtrack by J. Peter Robinson "Scary Terry" is from Rick and Morty.

If you haven't listened to Part One, STOP. Go listen and we'll be here when you get back. What do cults, OJ Simpson-esque trials and the Holy Grail have in common? They were all initial concepts for what would become the highest-grossing entry in the Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday the 13th franchises. And they weren't the only ones. Join Dawn and Jen as they wade through a decade of development hell and one actually decent movie with their look at the final* movie in Freddy canon with Freddy vs. Jason. NOTE: Due to some UNFORTUNATE AND LAZY script choices, this posdcast contains discussions of rape and homophobic slurs. They made it in the movie and we're not letting them get off that easy. This episode is the second part of a two-parter that covers Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare and Freddy vs. Jason. Nightmare 2 was covered in Episode 11. Nightmares 1 and 3 were covered in Episode 24 and Episode 25. Nightmares 4 and 5 were covered in Episode 26 and Episode 27. "How Can I Live" by Ill Nino *Again, we know Wes Craven's New Nightmare is a thing, but it's not generally considered part of "official" canon and it's getting it's own episode. Be patient, horror fans. We got your back.

It's time. Jen and Dawn have reached the end of the Nightmare canon and all that's left is Freddy's Dead and Freddy vs. Jason.* The Women In Caskets have come a long way and it's time to end it all. With detours into Twin Peaks, John Waters, Looney Tunes and more cameos than you can shake a stick at, along with ruining Jen's favorite scene and Dawn's attempts to apply logic to a horror movie, they pick at the bones of Freddy Krueger. There's... not a lot there. Which is a damn shame. This episode is the first part of a two-parter that covers Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare and Freddy vs. Jason. Nightmare 2 was covered in Episode 11. Nightmares 1 and 3 were covered in Episode 24 and Episode 25. Nightmares 4 and 5 were covered in Episode 26 and Episode 27. "I'm Awake Now" by The Goo Goo Dolls "Why Was I Born" by Iggy Pop *Yes, we know Wes Craven's New Nightmare is a thing, but it's not generally considered part of "official" canon and it's getting it's own episode. Be patient, horror fans. We got your back.
