Randall and Mel's Month of Halloween Hell: Week 2
Added 2021-10-13 16:27:29 +0000 UTCMel and Randall's valiant efforts to watch a horror movie a day in October continue with this sprawling, era-spanning discussion of films like One Cut of the Dead, The Curse of Frankenstein, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Flatliners, Hausu, and Grave Encounters, among others. Before that, they recall the horror movies that made them and bemoan how mawkish reverence and nostalgia seem to be the driving factor behind today's franchise horror. As an added bonus, Justin Gerber of Halloweenies and The Losers' Club drops by to rank the titles in Warwick Davis' Leprechaun franchise.

Comments
I'm happy to hear all the Rocky Horror love. That's a terrific movie. I've seen it with a midnight audience, and that was alright, but really I just love the movie and want to be able to pay attention to it. It's a silly movie, but it's also weirdly moving for me; it's a very genuine work of art.
