Mike and Devaughn are on hand to break down ADDAMS FAMILY VALUES, the sequel to 1991's smash The Addams Family. The title itself a play on the fear mongering and hand wringing over the threat to the "traditional" family, this one runs back the hits while offering some darker, slightly edgier humor. The sequel has also become a Thanksgiving favorite, and add in a scene chewing performance from Joan Cusack, and you have the rare sequel that may top the original.

This week we open a new franchise and move in a family friendly direction with THE ADDAMS FAMILY. Starting with the 1991 film of the same name, we look at the first family in the macabre. Built around a perfect cast starring Raul Julia, Anjelica Huston, Christopher Lloyd, and a young Christina Ricci, this was at the forefront of 90s IP, a craze that cashed in on Boomer nostalgia and Gen X latch key kids raised on syndicated television. Mike, Stephen, & Devaughn are on hand to talk the troubled behind the scenes production, found family, and gateway horror.

Mike, Devaughn, & Nichole are joined again by Mae Shults (Pleasers & Punishers podcast) to review the second season of Shudder's THE CREEP TAPES. While we all enjoyed S1, we're in agreement that the second go round is a bold step forward. Featuring appearances from genre favorites (David Dastmalchian) & Mark Duplass' real life wife (Katie Aselton) the second season gets bigger, weirder, messier, and drops more Peachfuzz lore.

As a special bonus episode, Mike sat down with David Bertolino, founder of Spooky World and author of the new bookBehind the Screams at Spooky World. Before there was Universal Horror Nights, and the big theme parks got in on haunted attractions, there was an old farm in the middle of Western Mass that attracted hundreds of thousands of customers every October throughout the 90s. With attractions designed by none other than Tom Savaini, and luminaries including Linda Blair, Elvira, Kane Hodder, & Robert Englund in attendance, Spooky World was the place to be every October if you lived in New England. David talks about how the haunt came to be, the community involvement, the carny atmosphere that included weddings at the park for under a buck, and the cast of characters that made the park what it was.

This week Mike, Nichole & Devaughn are joined by musician and podcaster Mae Shults (The Pleasers & Punishers podcast) to discuss the first season of The Creep Tapes. Serving as a stripped-down version of the films, the Shudder exclusive show finds Josef/Wolfie lining up a half dozen new victims under a variety of disguises ranging from a struggling actor, a documentary filmmaker’s biggest fan, an erstwhile parachuter, and even a man of the cloth. Along with learning more about Mark Duplass’ character’s history and upbringing the show explores queer themes, and Wolfie’s existential struggle as he begins to feel he’s done all he can when it comes to serial killing. Plus, lots of talk about Mark Duplass hanging dong. Who doesn't love that?
