Halloween is Forever

Minisode 8: Jason Rising (2021) + Friday the 13th Fan Films

Monday the 16th is the offbrand version of Friday the 13th, the same way fan films are the offbrand version of professional films. In honor of Brian's birthday, they all watched a few Friday the 13th fan films including Never Hike Alone, Never Hike in the Snow, and the brand new Jason Rising produced by Womp Stomp Films. They get into what works and doesn't work in fan film culture, and how much they've improved in the modern age. Plus, Meg is on an IV sip, Steve gets his Blood Fart Lake films confused,  and they all agree Jason Vorhees is the uber violent Kool-Aid man.

Also they announce the winner of the poll for the September Showdown.

Minisode 5: Fear Street 1994 + 1978 (2021)

This week Brian, Meg, and Steve share their thoughts on the first two parts of the R. L. Stine adaptation trilogy. Is the legend of Sarah Fier the new Twilight? The true successor to Scream and Friday the 13th? Or is it the new Netflix property? Are the hosts so out of touch thinking horror movies don't need a classic pop needle drop every minute and a half? No, it's the children who are wrong. Also learn if you or a loved one should be screened for congenital witch bleeding.

Minisode 4: Uninvited (1988)

Last week, Brian took home the championship in Religious Horror. That means this week Meg and Steve are subject to watch the film of his choosing. First Brian has a story from Living Dead Weekend 2021 and his run in with two masters of horror. Then he unleashes the Uninvited. A campy, ill-made tale of a GMO cat aboard an outlaw's yacht full coeds, and their fight for the last bowl of cereal. Bad puppets, bad effects, bad acting, bad ending, bad sound design, bad kitty. Hold on to your air pods, because you've just invited to hear three horror nerds claw through the Uninvited.

A Field in England (2013)

vs

The Exorcist III (1990)

vs

Mother! (2017)

Is the psychedelic trip through the 1600s too impenetrable to transmute British weirdness into gold? Can J-Law lay down the law as Mother Earth? Or Does George C. Scott chew up the competition like he chews scenery? Plus can Meg hold onto her championship? Tune in as three mutant horror nerds rip each other’s guts out on the way to deciding who’s favorite flicks reign supreme!

Minisode 2: The Amusement Park (1973 / 2021)

The summer scaries continue with a trip to George A Romero's Amusement Park. The previously thought to be lost film stars Lincoln Maazel and a host of Pittsburgh area volunteers. Originally commissioned by a Lutheran church community program meant to bring awareness to ageism in society, the film was shelved for having too many yinzer accents, visages of death, Eric Andre freak outs, and picnic chicken subplots. Join Brian, Meg and Steve as they come face to face with their own mortality and reminisce about other Romero films.
