We’re back with another podcast in our 31 Days of Halloween Movie series. We get into terrible product placement, cringeworthy 00’s remakes, a Universal Monster picture worth revisiting, an indie punching above its weight, and more.

There are some great recommendations this week, so after listening to today’s episode, be sure you head down to the show notes where we’ve linked every movie we discussed thus far.

If you’re a fan of Cole and his watchlist, follow him ⁠on Letterboxd⁠ or ⁠X/Twitter⁠, where you’ll find more of his hot takes, staunchly defended classics, and inspirations.

We hope you enjoy today’s episode, be sure to share it with any fans of horror, Halloween, or spooky movies, and we’ll be back every Friday this month with more from Cole.
