Halloween is Forever

It's time to ring ting tingle in the season. We start this year with a parody of the all the Hallmark Christmas movies that was actually produced under the Hellmark banner for SyFy channel. Holly accidentally kills her parents with a letter to Satan as a child and moves to the big city as an adult. When her big city job brings her home for the holidays, will she find the man ... men ... man and open unicorn lesbian couple of her dreams? Or will her bah humbug nature repeat the same mistakes and allow the dark lord of lies give the gift of death to the entire town?   Find Us Online- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/halloweenisforever/ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/halloweenisforever Twitter: https://twitter.com/HallowForever Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@halloweenisforeverpod Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HalloweenIsForeverPod E-Mail: Halloweenisforeverpod@gmail.com

Once again it's time to be thankful for podcasts who do holiday programming. Whether you need something on your travels or to shut out your family as they espouse the benefits of colloidal silver, Brian and Steve got you covered. They travel all the way back to 2019 for the anthology film about the true meaning of Thanksgiving. What would you do if your loser family made you spend the yummiest day with boring pilgrims instead of getting too drunk and watching Mystery Science Theater Turkey Day?  Find Us Online- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/halloweenisforever/ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/halloweenisforever Twitter: https://twitter.com/HallowForever Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@halloweenisforeverpod Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HalloweenIsForeverPod E-Mail: Halloweenisforeverpod@gmail.com

The filmmaker most in tune with Brian and Steve's sensibilities, Steven Kostanski, has a new film. This time he's remade a sword and sorcery from the 80s, Deathstalker. And while the film is an homage to those films, it's also tribute to all the others like Conan, Masters of the Universe, The Beastmaster, and even Ray Harryhausen films. All retold through the lens of 90s kid who loved the Power Rangers. Plus host Steve poorly remembers a music cue from the Mortal Kombat movie as a from a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie.   Find Us Online- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/halloweenisforever/ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/halloweenisforever Twitter: https://twitter.com/HallowForever Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@halloweenisforeverpod Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HalloweenIsForeverPod E-Mail: Halloweenisforeverpod@gmail.com

Trash and Chaos! The Great Psycho of them All! Love has no borders, nationalities or genders!

The final days before we dive full force into the reason for the season, Brian and Steve are watching a new to ScreamBox Indonesian horror. It's called The Draft! aka Setan Alas!

What if The Terminator and Robocop were mostly stern phone calls? What if the main android of those films was your stepdad after a couple beers at your little league game? Boy those movies would suck. Thankfully, R.O.T.O.R. was stupid so the other films didn't have to be. Depressed robots, American Gladiators, pre-Buc-ee's craze Texas, and nary a line of original dialogue. It's all here in this month's punishment episode.
