Happy Halloween! Sorry for the late episode, we showed up in Haddonfield for another Michael Myers romp and turns out he's all the way out in California! So your host Chris Donovan and his guests Megan and Julia Pendagast must go on a road trip to California, avoiding all rest stop bathrooms, to join our pals Michael and Laurie for another Halloween romp. Join us as we discuss Chekov's dumbwaiter, food foreplay,  LL Cool J's erotic fiction, and why this movie should've been the proper conclusion to the Michael-Laurie saga. Because Halloween may have passed, but we're still entitled to one good scare!

Halloween H20 (with Megan & Julia)

Happy Halloween! It's that time of year we we dress in costumes, pass out candy, and take to the streets to find our local masked serial killer. At least that's how Haddonfield does it. So that's how your host, Chris Donovan and his guests Megan and Julia plan to celebrate as well. On this episode we go back to a simpler time in the Halloween franchise and review 1981's Halloween 2. I can't think of anything more fun than catching up with our pals Michael Myers, Laurie, Dr. Loomis, and of course, Ben Tramer. So crank up that synth music, hop in your therapeutic tub, and join us for an episode more tasty than a razor blade apple.

It's the new year, so you know what that means? It means your ole pal Chris Donovan is a few days late on making his top ten horror movies of the past year. Don't blame me though: blame 2022, because it brought a whole lot of awesome films to the table to dig through. Between studio horror good enough to make you scream and smile, to streaming services hatching up some delicious films to prey on, to our beloved Shudder dead set on streaming up more classics, 2022 had a lot to offer. So join me as I run down my top ten horror movies of 2022!
