Randall and Mel's Month of Halloween Hell: Week 5
Added 2021-11-03 17:45:55 +0000 UTCIn the final installment (for now) of Mel and Randall’s Month of Halloween Hell, the intrepid duo sort through sordid tales of religion, repression, and trenchcoated bugmen with films like Repulsion, Martyrs, Saint Maud, Mimic, and Dracula 2000, among others.
Transcendence, be it ecstatic or ceremonial, courses through a number of these movies, as does the notion of the biblical betrayer, for better or worse. Stick around for awards as Mel and Randall reflect on everything they watched over the past month, highlighting the best, the worst, and the weirdest.

I've just now caught up with all of these after being weeks behind on podcasts! Very enjoyable series. I was in a real funk all October, and this was the first year in I don't even know when -- ever? -- that I got tired of watching horror movies. I think I picked some bad titles, but it wasn't just that; I picked some good ones, too. I just didn't enjoy enjoying them, if that makes any sense. In any case, it was fun hearing the enthusiasm you two had for the month! THAT, I did enjoy, even if it took me most of November to get caught up. Bring it back for '22!
