Zach and Charlie join Caitlin to cover 2015's Krampus, a holiday horror favorite. We talk about family, spirit, hope, and all things Christmas. Tangents include: hot tubs, stockings, gifts, tarot, holiday traditions, and Chrsitmas hot takes. Merry Christmas, everyone! 

Maddie and Colleen join Caitlin to once again perform character analysis on horror charcters through the lens of astrology. This time, we're talking about the "big three" signs for: Kelly Anne from Red Rooms, Annie from Hereditary, Rosemary from Rosemary's Baby, Lestat from Interview with the Vampire, Owen from I Saw the TV Glow, Jigsaw from Saw, Mulder and Scully from The X Files, Maud from Saint Maud, and Elvira from The Ugly Stepsister. Tangents include: the concept of "big six," dreams with Neptune in retrograde, the end of summer and start of fall, Halloween hot takes, Christmas trees, and pets as Over the Garden Wall characters. 

Mary and Nick join Caitlin to discuss The Long Walk, a new horror release based on the Stephen King book by the same name. We talk about fascism, friendship, and futility, as well as how we'd fare during The Long Walk. It's a great movie and a great discussion. Tangents include: Chinese takeout, a sauce FMK, and fall hot takes.

Soju from the Straight Chilling Podcast joins Caitlin to discuss 2003's Underworld, an underrated gem of vampire cinema. We talk about the excellent worldbuilding, the thoughtful themes, and the sexy, cool styling. We are Underworld vamps, through and through. Tangents include all things vampire: Halloween vampire movies, dealing with the boredom and isolation of eternity, a vampire FMK, vampire thirst, and the Underworld sequels. Also cryptids.
