Backrooms Review: Kane Parsons’ A24 Horror Hit
Message Dan and Mike We close out Halloween Fest 2026 with Backrooms, the A24 horror hit from 21-year-old director Kane Parsons. It’s the perfect bookend to our Halloween Fest kickoff, Curry Barker’s Obsession, since both films come from young internet creators who made the jump to the big screen. Backrooms started as a viral web series on Kane’s YouTube channel, rooted in the creepypasta lore of the internet. On a roughly $10 million budget it has grossed over $400 million. That makes it A24...

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) Review: Still Terrifying 50 Years Later
Message Dan and Mike We’re back with the penultimate episode of Halloween Fest 2026, and we saved one of the genuinely disturbing ones for near the end. This week we review the 1974 original, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. We say a lot during Halloween Fest that very little creeps us out, but this one got to us. The surprise is how little blood there is. So why was it banned and heavily censored in places like Britain for 25 years? We talk through how Tobe Hooper builds dread with long takes, s...

Halloween II (1981) Review: 45 Years of Michael Myers
Message Dan and Mike Forty-five years after it hit theaters on October 30, 1981, we’re digging into Halloween II for the penultimate episode of Halloween Fest. The film picks up minutes after the original ends, and we both agree it plays less like a sequel and more like the second half of one long, bloody night in Haddonfield. Dan has always had a soft spot for it and says he may even like it more than the first one. We break down the behind-the-scenes story, including why John Carpenter didn...

Bram Stoker’s Dracula Review: Stunning Effects, Slow Bite
Message Dan and Mike Halloween Fest rolls on as we sink our teeth into Francis Ford Coppola’s Bram Stoker’s Dracula, now 34 years old. Gary Oldman, Winona Ryder, Keanu Reeves, and Anthony Hopkins star in a film we both admire and both struggle to fully embrace. Dan lands at a B-minus, while Mike calls it the movie he has the most positive things to say about, even though it left him bored. We dig into what makes it so remarkable: the practical, in-camera effects, the forced perspective, the s...

World War Z Review: Brad Pitt's Troubled Zombie Epic Holds Up
Message Dan and Mike Halloween Fest rolls on, and this week we're taking on the zombie apocalypse with World War Z, the 2013 blockbuster starring Brad Pitt and directed by Marc Forster. After kicking things off with Curry Barker's Obsession, we're keeping the Halloween Fest tradition going with our yearly zombie pick, following Shaun of the Dead and Night of the Living Dead. We start by setting the record straight on the online reaction to our Obsession clip, then dive into a movie we both en...

Obsession (2026) Review: The $500M Horror Hit Made for Under $1M
Message Dan and Mike Halloween Fest kicks off with Obsession, the 2026 horror breakout that has grossed over $500 million worldwide on a budget under a million dollars. We dig into how Curry Barker went from YouTube shorts to one of the biggest horror hits of all time, and whether the movie lives up to the hype. Curry and his comedy partner Cooper Tomlinson built a huge audience with their YouTube channel, That's a Bad Idea. A short film called The Chair got a producer's attention, Curry pitc...

"Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair" Review — Tarantino's Epic, Finally Whole
Message Dan and Mike Dan finally crosses a massive blind spot off his list in this Classic Films Dan Hasn't Seen Yet deep dive: Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill, seen here as The Whole Bloody Affair, the rare combined cut stitching Volumes One and Two into the single epic Tarantino always intended. We dig into why it took over two decades to get this version cleared for release, the rights battle that held it up, and the extended anime sequence and restored footage that separate it from the thea...

"The Runner" Review — Gal Gadot's Worst Movie Yet?
Message Dan and Mike We're back with another streaming deep dive, and this time we're tackling The Runner, the Amazon Prime thriller starring Gal Gadot that dropped to the top of the charts on September 2nd. The premise sounds promising on paper: a lawyer out for a jog gets a phone call informing her that her son is being held hostage, and the only way to save him is to carry out a series of increasingly dangerous tasks dictated by a mysterious caller, played by Damian Lewis. Unfortunately, a...
