It started out as a documentary on haunted attractions around the USA during this season, but became repurposed into a found footage-style horror film. Our reactions were mixed, but there is some fun footage and interviews here of real haunted house attractions and actors that will definitely get you in the mood for the season. Enjoy!
Let’s kick off our first week of the Halloween season with a film about a horror festival that would be a dream come true for all fans…if they also weren’t being murdered. Our feelings about this horror comedy are a little uneven, but we nevertheless had a fun time watching AND discussing it.
Here is a list of films we have reviewed that either take place during the Halloween holiday or are otherwise somehow appropriate viewing material for...
With special effects from Carlo Rambaldi and the direct involvement of writer Umberto Lenzi, this is gore-laden time capsule that will tug at the nostalgia strings of most 80’s kids like us. And a special thank you to loyal listener, Jason, for requesting this!
But being Halloween season, we could not resist revisiting this underrated, surprisingly frightening family film from the Robert Zemeckis/Stephen Spielberg ImageMovers team. If you’re looking for a good Halloween flick to watch with the fam, check it out! Then listen to us yammer on about it…
Vincent Price, John Carrradine and Donald Pleasance round out half of what was supposed to be an assemblage of the 6 gentlemen of classic horror. Still, we get an anthology of three spooky tales spooky, sad, and funny, surrounded by a quirky wraparound story and three surprisingly catchy interstitial rock tunes. And if you REALLY want the full Halloween experience, check below for Elvira’s commentary – not once, but twice.
