   Let's Scare Jessica to Death (1971)

   Spooky Season is upon us and Ryan has hand picked a lesser known horror film to share with the crew. The simplistically titled Let's Scare Jessica to Death (1971) is about exactly what it sounds like, but is there more to it than that? What would compel a studio to name it with such bluntness? What kind of budget does it have? Is it actually scary? Should you add it to your Spooky Season watch list? Dixon, John, and Ryan are here to help you determine that and dig a little deeper while we're at it.
