For our discussion we are joined by Kristen Lopez, who is currently authoring a book on all things Tales from the Crypt. So, boils and ghouls, join us if you dare!
What would Halloween be without a visit to a creepy old house? On this week's episode, Toby Roan joins us as we discuss the 1963 film House of the Damned. It's a film that is only 63 minutes long, so this sow is longer than the film itself! Of course, we also have our movie recommendations and a trivia game inspired by B movies of the 50's and 60's. Join us, if you dare!
It's October, so we're going to be focusing on Halloween appropriate films this month. We start things out with the 1987 horror thriller White of the Eye, starring David Keith and Cathy Moriarty.

Of course, we also have our movie recommendations and our weekly trivia game, as well.
