Trick 'r Treat vol. 2
If you meet Sam on Halloween night, you have just met your doom! Personally, I think we’re safe. That’s right, we’re still on the hunt for candy and carnage as we dig into the second half of TRICK ‘r TREAT. This week, we’re trying to understand bus massacre negotiation tactics, unpacking that adult costumed orgy invite, and wrapping our minds around Brian Cox’s terrible fake nose. All this, plus Krampus talk, hot dog humpin’, Tony! Toni! Toné! needle drops, school bus chains, loose hands, and another fun-sized edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure.

Interview with The Cycle director Jordan Downey
There's a good reason to howl this week as we preempt our regularly scheduled redux episode to talk with Jordan Downey, the director of the excellent new Shudder exclusive THE CYCLE. We dig into his horror influences, explore how Critters got its teeth into him, consider the dangers of wet creatures, and sing along to the sultry tunes of David Soul. All this, plus family trauma overload, cops on the hunt, big brother influences, bad vampire planners, and good movies to add to THE CYCLE as a double feature.

Trick 'r Treat vol. 1
If you don't follow the rules on Halloween night, you won't live to see tomorrow - but you may survive long enough to hear the first half of our in-depth coverage of the 2009 cult classic, TRICK ‘r TREAT. That’s right, we’re digging into the backstory of how the movie was made, what role Superman played in messing with its theatrical release, and which movie scared the studio so badly that they ended up holding it back completely. All this, plus forbidden parties, hated X-Men, Jigsaw’s unwitting posse, VHS subterfuge, ghost crucifixions, and a fun-sized edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure. Head door-to-door for a little murder and mayhem, won’t you? NOTE: This episode and the next required multiple attempts to complete due to two hospitalizations, one extended internet interruption beyond our control, and a massive software snafu. Please forgive any audio quality issues, as this was the best that they could be repaired at this time. Part of the BLEAV Network.Get even more episodes exclusively on Patreon!

Carrie vol.2 (w/ Joe Lipsett and Trace Thurman) redux
This week, to celebrate the new Prime version of Carrie, we're looking back at two previous remakes of the seminal Stephen King spectacular, CARRIE. And we’re bursting out of the scary prayer closet with two Retuning Champions you know and love - from Horror Queers, it’s Joe Lipsett and Trace Thurman here to help us with two more modern "Black Proms" and the problems that come with them!! Can any version of Carrie live up to DePalma’s? What if you add a lot of Dutch-angled, Vaseline-lensed SyFy Original visuals? What if you turn Carrie White into Darth Vader? How did Trace traumatize dance class bros? Do either of the remakes beat The Rage: Carrie 2? It’s a battle of Christ Hartigans, lackluster Tommys, uneven Sues, and divergent Margrets!! All this, plus internet backlashes, plugs and tips, Carrie vs. Jigsaw, bad Billys, thick blood, wonky CGI, and a gym full of Choose Your Own Deathventure!! It’s twice the Horror Queers, twice the Carrie, and twice the Uncle Steve for one redux episode. Part of the BLEAV Network.Get even more episodes exclusively on Patreon!

Christine vol. 2 (w/ Oli Hamilton)
She was born bad… but what did my only child think about her? Let’s find out on the only podcast brave enough to put a teen with a driver’s permit behind the wheel as we revisit Stephen King and John Carpenter’s 1983 collab, CHRISTINE. It’s Oli’s first time watching the film, so we had to talk about good and bad band names, drive-in hamburgers, yogurt murders, taking rides from guys down by the docks, and rock ’n roll bits. All this, plus dumb parents, back braces as shirts, road beers, boxy shorts, automotive transformations, and a revved-up edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure. Grab the keys, tune in, and burn out, people! NOTE: We have been cursed with hospital stays and internet outages, so please excuse the fact that we had to divert from our regular schedule. We should be back on track starting next week. Part of the BLEAV Network.Get even more episodes exclusively on Patreon!

Get ready for one explosive conclusion to our revisit of Friday the 13th Part 7: The New Blood! We're celebrating knocking another Jason movie off our list with two insanely funny guests: Lindsay Katai & Kelly Nugent from the Teen Creeps podcast! Revelations contained within include (but are not limited to) the true name of Mrs. Sheppard, Corey Feldman's live show reviews, and what it’s like to be “a rat in a pillowcase!” Plus, is Melissa secretly a 45-year-old woman with a thriving pyramid scheme racket on the side? Is the shin the most misunderstood erogenous zone? Also, we introduce the world to our new sponsor: Loot Kill! All this, and the final Choose Your Own Deathventure of Part 7.
