Horror Hour with the Hanna’s

This week, we’re going full circle with The Ring — exploring the original Japanese classic (Ringu), the American remake (The Ring), and Koji Suzuki’s chilling novel that started it all. We’ll trace how this cursed videotape evolved across cultures and mediums, comparing atmosphere, storytelling, and scares. From Sadako to Samara, page to screen, analog horror to viral legend — we’re unraveling what makes this story so enduringly terrifying.

Spoiler Free: 0:00-38:00 Spoilers: 38:00-END   In this episode of Horror Hour with the Hanna's we dissect Frankenstein (2025), the long-gestating passion project from Guillermo del Toro. With a star-studded cast including Oscar Isaac as Victor Frankenstein and Jacob Elordi as the Creature, this gothic horror-sci-fi adaptation of Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus hits theaters October 17 and streams on Netflix November 7. We explore the film’s breathtaking visuals, eloquent themes of creation and abandonment, and standout performance by Elordi that critics agree breathes tragic humanism into a classic monster. But we also question whether the film’s extended runtime, tonal heaviness, and narrative deviations from the novel carry the emotional weight they promise—or if the spectacle overshadows the story. With tension between expectations and delivery, this episode asks: is Frankenstein reborn, or merely reassembled?   Follow Us on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: @horrorhourwiththehannas   Music by Aries Beats - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPpnxLYrzVA⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

This week, we’re diving into Shelby Oaks — the long-awaited horror mystery from YouTuber-turned-filmmaker Chris Stuckmann. We’re keeping it spoiler-free as we unpack what makes this supernatural thriller such a haunting experience. Does the mix of found footage and psychological horror deliver genuine scares, or does it get lost in its own lore? We’ll talk atmosphere, performances, and how Shelby Oaks blurs the line between urban legend and reality.

SPOILER FREE: 0:00-27:45 SPOILERS: 27:45-END   Grab your rotary phones — this week we’re talking The Black Phone 2! The Grabber might be gone, but the darkness left behind hasn’t hung up just yet. In this review, we break down how the sequel expands on the eerie world of the original, whether the scares still hit as hard, and if this follow-up justifies picking up the line again. Expect atmosphere, tension, and a few chills as we decide if The Black Phone 2 answers horror fans’ calls for more — or if it should’ve gone straight to voicemail.   Follow Us on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: @horrorhourwiththehannas   Music by Aries Beats - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPpnxLYrzVA⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

This week on Horror Hour with the Hanna's, we tackle Vicious (2025), Bryan Bertino’s return to horror that promises a chilling mystery starring Dakota Fanning as a woman haunted by a cursed box and its cryptic demands.   Follow Us on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: @horrorhourwiththehannas   Music by Aries Beats - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPpnxLYrzVA⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

SPOILER FREE: 0:00-21:26 SPOILERS: 21:26-END   This week on Horror Hour with the Hanna's, we take a dive into Bone Lake (2025), the latest erotic horror-thriller from Mercedes Bryce Morgan. What starts as a steamy double-date at a remote lake house quickly devolves into a tangled web of deceit, seduction, and violence—but despite its promising setup, Bone Lake often struggles to find real depth beneath the surface. We talk about the film’s stylish cinematography and strong performances, but also the uneven pacing, repetitive tension beats, and third-act chaos that feels more confusing than cathartic. For a story that wants to explore power, desire, and danger, it sometimes mistakes atmosphere for substance. Still, there’s something to admire in its ambition: a small-scale horror about human impulses and the monsters they create. Bone Lake may not make a splash, but it leaves a ripple worth talking about.   Follow Us on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: @horrorhourwiththehannas   Music by Aries Beats - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPpnxLYrzVA⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

In this episode of Horror Hour with the Hanna's, we dive into V/H/S/Halloween (2025), the latest entry in the V/H/S anthology horror series arriving just in time for October. Released on Shudder and produced by Bloody Disgusting, this episode explores a series of Halloween-themed videotape horror segments, each directed by a different filmmaker. We’ll unpack the strengths: standout segments like “Kidprint” (directed by Alex Ross Perry), which has already drawn attention for its deeply unsettling psychological horror grounded in realism. We also discuss other vignettes such as “Home Haunt”, “Fun Size”, “Ut Supra Sic Infra”, “Diet Phantasma”, and “Coochie Coochie Coo”—each bringing a distinct flavor of dread.  We’ll also talk about how V/H/S/Halloween fits into the larger V/H/S franchise—how it continues the found footage tradition, how it leans into Halloween iconography, and how it both leans on and subverts anthology horror tropes. While not every segment resonates, the film has been praised for balancing camp, gore, and horror tone. On Rotten Tomatoes, reviewers note it “knows precisely how to handle the switch in tone” between silly and dark. If you’re into anthology horror, found footage vibes, or Halloween-flavored frights, this episode is for you—grab your VHS stack and tune in.   Follow Us on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: @horrorhourwiththehannas   Music by Aries Beats - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPpnxLYrzVA⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

SPOILER FREE: 0:00-26:55 SPOILERS: 26:55-END   In this episode we dig into Good Boy (2025), a haunted-house horror told from the point of view of a loyal dog named Indy — an unusual, emotionally driven take on the genre that foregrounds animal instincts as our guide through dread. Director Ben Leonberg—who co-wrote the film—casts his real-life dog Indy in the title role , creating a rare canine-led emotional core.  We’ll cover why the film’s perspective shift works (and where it strains), the standout practical filmmaking choices that sell a dog-centered POV, the performances that ground the story, and whether Good Boy balances heart and horror without tipping into gimmick.    Follow Us on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: @horrorhourwiththehannas   Music by Aries Beats - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPpnxLYrzVA⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Shudder is blowing out the candles, and we’re joining the party! In this special episode, we spotlight four standout Shudder originals that showcase the streaming service’s unique approach to horror. We start with Blood Quantum (2020), Jeff Barnaby’s bold and bloody take on the zombie genre with a sharp cultural edge. Then we unravel the eerie tension of Caveat (2020), a claustrophobic chamber piece that proves minimalism can be terrifying. Next up, we descend into Mad God (2021), Phil Tippett’s decades-in-the-making stop-motion nightmare that’s as mesmerizing as it is disturbing.  Finally, we check out Grafted (2024), a body-horror gem that combines beauty expectations and mutation in unsettling ways. Together, these films highlight Shudder’s range—from socially charged horror to experimental art to nerve-racking slow burns. Whether you’re a longtime subscriber or just horror-curious, this birthday bash proves why Shudder has become the home of modern horror.   We are joined by No Bodies!

SPOILER FREE: 0:00-30:15 SPOILERS: 30:15-END   In this episode we tackle HIM (2025), the horror-thriller that attempts to mash up the brutality of sports culture with supernatural dread. Produced by Jordan Peele, directed by Justin Tipping, and starring Marlon Wayans, Tyriq Withers, and Julia Fox, the film follows young quarterback Cam Cade as he accepts a seemingly golden opportunity to train under legendary quarterback Isaiah White—only to find the path to glory is darker than he imagined. We explore what HIM does well: its unsettling visuals, strong performances (especially Wayans), and its ambition in critiquing the sport’s glamor, sacrifice, and the cult of celebrity. But we also unpack its shortcomings: moments where the story gets fuzzy, pacing that unevenly swings between high tension and confusing detours, and themes that seem more hinted at than fully realized.    Follow Us on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: @horrorhourwiththehannas   Music by Aries Beats - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPpnxLYrzVA⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

On this episode we examine The Conjuring: Last Rites (2025), the supposed final chapter in the mainline franchise. Directed by Michael Chaves, the film dramatizes the infamous Smurl haunting while bringing Ed and Lorraine Warren back for one last supernatural battle. We look at how Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga anchor the story with their reliable performances, and how Judy Warren (Mia Tomlinson) steps into a more central role. But does the film rely too heavily on recycled jump scares and familiar beats? And does Last Rites deliver the emotional closure a franchise this influential deserves—or does it leave us wondering if the series has run out of true scares?   We are joined by Sara with Paranormal in Pennsylvania to talk about the real life investigation that the movie is based on.

It's a special day on Horror Hour with the Hanna's because we are discussing a topic that is extremely important to us: mental health. More specifically, mental health narratives and representation in horror.   We are covering this topic because the day of release is Word Suicide Prevention day and we wanted to use our platform to bring light to a cause we are extremely passionate about.   Because mental health, life experiences, culture, etc. differs from person to person, we decided to incorporate some of our podcast friends into this episode to consider their various perspectives on this topic.

This week on Horror Hour with the Hanna's, we journey into Alex Garland’s Annihilation (2018), a surreal and unsettling blend of science fiction and horror. Starring Natalie Portman, Tessa Thompson, and Jennifer Jason Leigh, the film follows a team of scientists who enter “the Shimmer”—a mysterious, expanding zone where nature and biology mutate in eerie and violent ways. We break down the film’s hypnotic visuals, cerebral storytelling, and existential themes of self-destruction and transformation. From the infamous bear scene to the unforgettable finale, Annihilation is equal parts terrifying and mesmerizing—a modern cult classic that pushes the boundaries of genre. We also compare it to the 2014 Novel.   Follow Us on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: @horrorhourwiththehannas   Music by Aries Beats - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPpnxLYrzVA⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

This week on Horror hour with the Hanna's, we revisit Tobe Hooper’s The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974), one of the most influential horror films ever made. What begins as a road trip for a group of friends quickly descends into a nightmare of isolation, brutality, and madness when they cross paths with Leatherface and his deranged family deep in rural Texas. We explore how the film’s gritty, documentary-like style, relentless tension, and shocking violence reshaped the horror genre. With its low-budget ingenuity and grim atmosphere, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre became a landmark of exploitation cinema—and a cornerstone of slasher history. Nearly 50 years later, it remains just as disturbing and relevant.   Follow Us on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: @horrorhourwiththehannas   Music by Aries Beats - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPpnxLYrzVA⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

In this episode of Horror Hour with the Hanna's, we take a plunge into Piranha 3D (2010), Alexandre Aja’s gleefully gory remake of the cult classic. What starts as spring break fun on Lake Victoria quickly turns into a blood-soaked feeding frenzy when prehistoric piranhas are unleashed on unsuspecting partygoers. With over-the-top kills, wild special effects, and a tongue-in-cheek sense of humor, this film delivers campy chaos that embraces its B-movie roots. We explore the film’s outrageous set pieces, its blend of horror and comedy, and whether the 3D gimmick still holds up today. Is it mindless schlock or brilliantly self-aware splatter? Grab your floaties—because the water’s not safe in Piranha 3D.   Follow Us on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: @horrorhourwiththehannas   Music by Aries Beats - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPpnxLYrzVA⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

No Spoilers: 0:00 - 26:15  Spoilers: 26:15 - 1:12:45    In this episode of Horror Hour with the Hanna's, we dive into Weapons (2025), the latest from Zach Cregger, director of Barbarian. Starring Julia Garner, Josh Brolin, and Amy Madigan, the film blends mystery, tension, and dread into an eerie small-town setting. With its multi-perspective storytelling and unnerving atmosphere, Weapons keeps audiences guessing while slowly tightening the screws. We discuss the film’s haunting performances, masterful pacing, and unsettling sense of humor, as well as how it fits into Cregger’s growing reputation as one of horror’s most unpredictable voices. We take a deep look at tone, craft, and why Weapons is sparking so much conversation among horror fans.   Follow Us on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: @horrorhourwiththehannas   Music by Aries Beats - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPpnxLYrzVA⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

This week on Horror Hour with the Hanna's, we dive into Together (2025), the bold and bizarre horror-romance starring Alison Brie and Dave Franco as a couple whose relationship takes a literal turn for the grotesque. When Millie and Tim retreat to a remote country home in an effort to reconnect, they find themselves physically fusing into a single being—an unflinching metaphor for codependency, emotional entanglement, and the loss of self in long-term love. Directed by Michael Shanks in his feature debut, Together is equal parts unsettling and strangely tender, blending dark humor with stunning practical effects and a surprising amount of heart. We discuss the film’s surreal tone, its standout performances, and the way it turns an intimate relationship into full-blown body horror without losing sight of its emotional core. Is Together a new cult classic in the making—or just a really weird love story with great FX?
