In Part I, we're discussing Halloween (1978), Resident Evil (2026), A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night, The Others, Ready or Not, An American Werewolf in London, Evil Dead Burn, Good Boy, Fright Night, Zombieland, Halloween III: Season of the Witch, Undertone, Smile, and more.
We also revisit John Carpenter's early work, discuss horror movies that improve with repeat viewings, and share some of our favorite discoveries and biggest disappointments from October so far.
This is the first of three episodes covering our 31 Days of Halloween 2026 watch lists.

Keep it or donate it? | Mystery DVD Collection, Part II

This batch has plenty of movies neither of us had heard of, alongside familiar titles like Transformers: Age of Extinction, Saw, The Others, Blank Check, Legally Blonde and Crank. Along the way, the DVDs send us into conversations about video stores, physical media, J-horror remakes, subtitles, dance movies, Jason Statham and plenty more before we finally reach the bottom of the mystery bag.
