Considering Joe's relationship with the "franchise", it's about time...we covered an Amityville film! To coincide with the release of Oz Perkins' The Monkey, we're checking out the "haunted clock" entry of the Amityville "series" and this one is a hoot. C/W: the dog dies

Up for discussion: Rusty's "delinquency", VPL, surprisingly gnarly practical FX, a Final Destination-style death, ugly 90s interior decor, and debate if this is a secret Hellraiser film.

Plus: Trace plays Real or Fake with 10 Amityville titles and Joe gives his top recommendations

-Read Joe's Bloody editorial series 'The Amityville IP', which includes 'It's About Time'

Put on your abstinence ring and head over to the local swimming hole because we're discussing Mitchell Lichtenstein's 2007 horror comedy Teeth!

Join us as we go all in on this seemingly forgotten relic of the aughts, praising its handling of some admittedly difficult subject matter while masterfully balancing the tone without sacrificing sincerity.

Plus: digging into Teeth's mishandled release, its 2024 off-Broadway musical adaptation and wondering why lead actress Jess Weixler never became the Parker Posey of her generation.

C/W: Sexual assault

Apply the darkest shade of red lipstick you own because we're discussing Tom Ford's sophomore feature Nocturnal Animals (2016)! Tagging in for the conversation is Trace's better half Ari Drew!

Join us as we discuss the revenge of it all in this somewhat polarizing film. From Amy Adams' unlikable protagonist who often stares off into space to Aaron Taylor-Johnson's poo-on-the-porch sequence, there's a lot to unpack here!

Plus: sassy elevator operators, Laura Linney's bouffant, one incredibly effective jump scare and a controversial opening sequence involving nude, fat dancers.

Tabitha! We're taking Carrie White to the prom with a look at Stephen King's first feature film adaptation: Brian De Palma's 1976 classic, Carrie.

Up for discussion: debate over Carrie as Monster, a satire of religion, our love of Miss Collins, Pino Donaggio's score, and why Trace implores everyone to watch Chris' death scene in the 2013 remake.

In anticipation of our Carrie (1976) episode, we chatted with Jawbreaker writer/director Darren Stein about how De Palma's film influenced his pitch black 1999 high school horror comedy.

Speaking of Jawbreaker, we've got the scoop on what that E! TV series would have looked like! Or maybe you wanna hear about Stein's plans for a film version of the Jawbreaker musical? Or a possible requel in the vein of Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night 2?! Listen for the tea!

Look for wooden magpies and beware of barbed wired because we're talking Jeremy Drummond's We Kill Them All  (2025). C/W: brief attempted sexual assault

We're not sold on this indie queer thriller which pits girlfriends against a trio of rapey criminals at a deserted resort. The dialogue is particularly off-putting, some set pieces are ok but it's often quite repetitive and the messaging about queer identity & agency is...messy.

Proceed with caution!
