Nature Trail to Hell

The action moves to Henderson, NV...and brings with it the most inscrutable plot twist in the series so far. WHAT IS EVEN HAPPENING? No, really, somebody explain it to us.

We've had two suburban Southern California homes, each with some demon infestations. For outing three, maybe we'll get another one? Only one way to find out.

Second film, higher budget, more lore – where does the Paranormal Activity franchise go after the runaway success of the first film? Turns out it's another house in suburban California. Twice as scary for 15 times the budget? Let's find out. 

We are BACK! And we're bringing some deep bass rumblings with us.  This season, we're watching all the Paranormal Activity film in all their found-footage-y goodness. What possessed us to do such a thing? We blame it on Tobi.

Jordan and Stefan watch Fido, a 2006 zombie comedy about a 1950s-style town in which zombies are domesticated members of society. 

Okay, okay, we've both seen this one. But we couldn't do a zombie series without Shaun of the Dead, one of the instrumental films in the 2000s zombie boom. Does it still hold up? Come on, do we even need to answer that question? Have a nice cold pint and join us for the debut feature from Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright.

Romero is back, baby! After an extended absence, the zombie maestro returns in the middle of an undead movie renaissance with Land of the Dead, starring John Leguizamo and Dennis Hopper. Does he still have what it takes to compete in an incredibly competitive zombie landscape? Jordan and Stefan find out.

In this episode, our format gets irrevocably broken because Stefan actually saw this one in theaters (without ever having seen a single Living Dead film before). How will we ever recover? Well, Jordan and Stefan manage to discuss the film ANYWAY so THERE. This remake takes the mall location from the 1978 original and adds many Zack Snyder flourishes, such as slow motion and fast zombies. Stefan remembers liking it. What will he think now that he has context? Find out.

Ugh, don't you hate it when movies are in black and white? So old and GROSS. Instead, watch this updated version of the classic film, this time by makeup artist-turned-director Tom Savini and produced by Romero. How does it stack up against the original? Jordan and Stefan find out.

Dawn of the Dead was a certified banger that significantly expanded the scope of the original film. Now, eight (!) years later, George A. Romero is back with Day of the Dead in 1985. Stefan and Jordan examine the trajectory of a series that so far has gone from strength to strength.

10 years after the ground-breaking Night of the Living Dead, George A. Romero returns with Dawn of the Dead. Jordan and Stefan watch this mall movie classic and see how the scares hold up. Also, Stefan might get fixated on the Brown Derby Steakery & Luv Pub for some reason.

It's a brand new season! This time, Jordan and Stefan are watching George A. Romero's Living Dead films, starting with 1968's groundbreaking Night of the Living Dead – the film that invented the zombie movie. Will it hold up, given the flood of zombie content since then? Let's find out.

One final episode for our Leprechaun series! When Jordan was a kid, a family friend filmed the fairytale-themed Deadtime Stories in the house that he lived. Stefan visits and Jordan revisits this horror anthology to see what it was all about. Plus, Jordan designed a monster for the film. Apologies for Stefan's garbage audio in the first segment. 

Mark Jones, director of the first Leprechaun film, turned down directing Leprechaun 2 to make this week's bonus film, Rumpelstiltskin. Notice a theme? Jordan and Stefan check out his magnum opus to see if he made the right decision.

Let's go back to the origins of...what exactly? Warwick Davis is out, Hornswoggle is in, and apparently a Leprechaun is now some sort of unseen dog monster. Sure. 

Clearly the hood was a winning setting for a Leprechaun movie, so why not try it again? This despite every single Leprechaun movie has so far taken place in a different environment.  Also – oh no! – this is Warwick Davis's final appearance in the series. Jordan and Stefan mourn and despair. 

From space...to the hood. The series takes a questionable left turn, finding the Leprechaun in Los Angeles, immersed in the most unrealistic depiction of hip hop in cinematic history. But surely this is the good Leprechaun movie, right? RIGHT? I mean, Ice-T wouldn't star in anything less than stellar, right? Jordan knows and Stefan finds out.

So...after only three terrestrial installments, the Leprechaun is heading to space – it took Jason nine movies to do the same thing! Will this be a welcome change for the franchise or a turn for the silly? Jordan and Stefan watch this WEIRD-ASS movie to find out.

Well, the Leprechaun train keeps on rolling. The first two were...not good. Will the third time be the charm? Jordan knows but won't tell. Stefan's about to find out. He may not be pleased with the answer.

Well, it's another Leprechaun movie, hot n' heavy on the heels of the last one. But didn't the Leprechaun explode...in a...well...or something? Why is he in Hollywood? What's even happening? And wrought iron is now his Achilles heel?
