We are discussing The Crow (1994) and reviewing what we think of the 90s GOTH MASTER that it was. Does it still hold up? What actually happened to Brandon Lee? What do we think of The NEW Crow & will the world ever be able to wear tight leather like the old days? We can only hope, but it's all here in one giant episode across the airwaves & the eye waves?

It's the HOLIDAY HORROR SEASON! This week for our final episode of the year we decided to pick some films that are around Christmas and involve kids. Whether they are out to take parents out, or their friends. We partake in the Christmas "Spirit" this week for the 2 horror films to review that you may or may not of seen. First we start off with The Children (2008). A movie about 2 sisters and their families that join together for Christmas in a far away cottage. While celebrating this special time together as a family the children start getting sick and start plotting to kill their own family. Then we take on a movie that Christina has been wanting to cover on the podcast. Super Dark Times (2017). A story about some kids in the 90's that live pretty average suburban lives until one day an accident happens between 2 best friends. It not only threatens their friendship, their love interest and maybe even their friends. We review both of these films and talk about some of their trivia and thoughts on the matter. JOIN US! We will return to the podcast in January for our Top Horror of 2023. We will be posting videos on Youtube steadily. Happy Holidays Everyone!

This week we dip into some movies with serial killers in them. Real and fake. First off with Manhunter (1986) which is taken from the Hannibal Lecter book series better known as Red Dragon. Only long before Anthony Hopkins came along to play the part. Then we dip into Summer Of Sam (1999) a movie by Spike Lee about the Son of Sam or rather the neighborhoods that were affected by the actual killer back in the day. We talk about both movies and why we like or dislike them. It was a fun episode to talk about for a change. Join us!
So Alex decided to torture us this week... WE Watched and Reviewed House of the Dead (2003) & House of the Dead (2005). Two pretty bad horror films from the 2000's. The First one was directed by Uwe Boll infamous for making bad movies. The first one is technically a prequel of the Sega Videogame franchise. Which leads us to a rave on an island where everything including the plot goes terribly wrong. Then in the sequel they replace the island with a college town and a bunch of highly/poorly trained soldiers try to extract the virus from the first zombie for and antidote. This time directed by someone new. So let's get zombied up and dive into 2 bad films? JOIN US!
