It's night three of Movie-Ghoul-Round 2020 and for Future Classics Nicole chose 2018's Mandy.

It's night two of Movie-Ghoul-Round 2020 and we have modified our Netflix/Amazon Roulette randomizer a bit to include only horror movies. It sent us off to watch Lake Placid. Although more of a comedy with a scary premise, there's an argument to be made that the scriptwriting alone is horrifying enough to qualify it for the genre. Are there enjoyable elements here? Does the croc look good? Can Oliver Platt and Brendan Gleeson save the day? And how big was the paycheck to get Betty White to swear so much? Connect with your hosts!

It's time for the annual Movie-Ghoul-Round! For our third go-around of this tradition, we'll be hosting a 5-night marathon of episodes leading up to Halloween night. To kick it off, David brought 1988's Pumpkinhead as his pick for New to Two. While it's not one of the "big" horror movies of the '80s, it's become more respected over time; we dig into why with the gusto of an angry man digging up a demon. Is it Lance Henriksen's performance? The practical monster effects? All the "teenagers" getting picked up by the head? Have a listen and let us know! Connect with your hosts!
