This week's main review is Shudder's newly released vampiric horror, JAKOB'S WIFE, starring THE Barbara Crampton. The boys will decide if it goes for the throat or just plain sucks. And lastly, the gang reviews their first cult/fan recommendation with 2020's THE EMPTY MAN. A paranormal mystery that has a lot going on.

This week's episode is the second part and conclusion of the CULT OF HORROR FEAR STREET SPECIAL. Much in line with the review of the this trilogy, Eric reveals that he is straight out of fucks to give at work and is on an office mean streak. Here's to hoping he's still employed. 🍻No new news this week. Just a cut to the chase (literally in this case.) The gang continues their plummet into Netflix's FEAR STREET "thrillogy" with the middle child: 1978. A classic camp slasher that explores more of Shadyside's witch curse and gives Elliott his sack-headed-killer fix.Lastly, the third and final film, 1666, throws the FEAR STREET films into a colonial time warp giving us a beginning to this whole story. The boys weigh-in with their highs and lows, blessings and grievances and their final thoughts on FEAR STREET as a whole.

Hunter finds his new hobby as a digital artist as he casts Elliott in his "BASSIST INSTINCT" glamour pic.

Back once again, this week the fellas are more fear than fright as the Covid-Delta variant is clouding over their spooky boy summer. To add to this morose mood is Hunter and Elliott's privileged car problem woes. Meanwhile, Eric is a capable adult man who can mend his own machinery. Post pity-party, Elliott big-shoots the latest in horror news and releases, as per usual. This week's review is Netflix's Italian camper-cult, folk-horror film, A CLASSIC HORROR STORY.  Is this European flick a new classic or a hodgepodge of misplaced references? Finally, Elliott gives his freebie movie recommendation with South Korea's 2016 suspense/horror story, THE WAILING. A creepy movie that has damn near everything.d r i n k   t h e   k o o l - a i d   / /  h a v e   a   g r e a t   d a y What did you think of A CLASSIC HORROR STORY or THE WAILING? Let us know!

Is it worth a rewind or a fast forward? Finally Hunter brings the cult his movie recommendation with BANSHEE CHAPTER. A maybe or maybe not scifi, thriller/horror/conspiracy sleeper from 2013.

This latest Shudder exclusive has the critics, the cult and the boys talking. Is CAVEAT the indie-gem  we've been waiting for all year OR or is it plagued by limitations like the title implies?

After a grand altercation, the boys breakdown a slew of horrific news, including a depressing update on the Collector series. They meander into a review of the latest Shudder original THE BANISHING (2021), directed by Christopher Smith of TRIANGLE fame. Will this installment live up to the legacy Smith started or become imprisoned in a dungeon of mediocrity like many before it? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯The cast concludes a pick from Elliott’s vault: a faux-documentary that is more relevant now than it has any business being, SAVAGELAND (2014).

This week the boys return after Catfish's birthday hiatus and are delighted over the hopes of getting vaccinated. Yet the many voices of Texas' red, white and bigoted and the "no mask, no problem" gubernatorial decision have them truly fearful. After a mixed-bag of news the guys hike into a conversation on the much anticipated WRONG TURN (2021) reboot.

This week's episode finds the gang finally thawed out from Texas' winter storm of the century. We find out who survived and what was left of them. It was tough times for the Cult over the past weeks. (Elliott might actually be dead.) But now they're back and lukewarm as ever. The big show kicks off with the usual news segment chock-full of announcements for upcoming new movies and unnecessary reboots. Moving into the Super Happy Fun Room, these lucky birthday boys get to review the latest in the Chuck E. Cheese-style horror mashup, WILLY'S WONDERLAND. This one featuring more Nic Cage than any of the others. How does the king of acting stack up against children's murdering mascot robots and how does WILLY'S WONDERLAND stack up for the boys?Wrapping up the party, Hunter brings his choice for an under-the-radar film hiding in plain sight with I SEE YOU. A 2019 mystery/thriller starring Helen Hunt that is full lf twists and turns and more twists. But Elliott confused it with another 2019 movie of the same name that was possibly the worst film ever. Listen to Hunter and don't make that mistake.What did you think of WILLY'S WONDERLAND  or I SEE YOU?  Let us know!

This week's episode was recorded at the beginning of the 2021 Texas snow-mageddon. Kicking off with a 100 car, multiple fatality, pile up and eventually ending with a complete breakdown of all modern amenities. But before that the spooky boys discuss simpler times including Elliott's very embarrassing, celebrity fueled birthday presents. The guys are celebrating Valentine's Day (or the lack there of) as well as their fear of snow.A brief, media-heavy news spot lists the latest in DVD and Blu-ray releases and film announcements. At long last, Hunter's great white hype and A24's SAINT MAUD has come into view for the cult's review. Does the dark, obsessive psychological horror live up to A24's holier-than-thou record or is SAINT MAUD  the patron saint of boring? Let's see.Rounding out the end of the episode is CATFISH'S CATCH OF THE DAY. Catfish reels in a deep bottom-feeder from the depths of Tubi with EL DIA DE LA BESTIA. A Spanish comedy-horror about a priest, a TV psychic and a metalhead trying to contact Satan in order to find and kill the local born Antichrist on Christmas day in Madrid.

They conclude this double-stuffed episode with SYNCHRONIC, the new sci-fi maybe-thriller from Justin Benson & Aaron Moorhead (RESOLUTION, SPRING, THE ENDLESS) which features a pair of paramedic who must find the secrets of a designer drug with often deadly side effects.

This new year, the boys find themselves more solemn than celebratory after a low-key end to a high-strung year.

(Eric can't seem to remember.) They wrap up their month of "Holiday Tubi Roulette" with ALL THROUGH THE HOUSE. Thus putting a bow on this year's Santa slasher series.
