What is the difference between Spooky and Scary? It might seem like a distinction without a difference, but Lucas and Joe beg to differ.

This legendary BBC1 Halloween night program is claimed to have traumatized a nation. Therefore it's a fitting conclusion to this year's 31 Days of Horror Challenge. Twenty-three years later, is it still effective?

Pulse (originally called Kairo in Japan) is one of the most beloved entries of the early 2000s J-Horror period. Somehow, Lucas can't remember if he has seen it or not. This is an episode of discovery for everyone involved!

A quirky bit of Roger Corman-ite Sci-Fi Horror like this sounds great on paper...but how well does it work in practice?

It's always good to get back to the roots of your genre. And at Fright Lab HQ, there is no classic Horror actor more beloved than Vincent Price. And of his early cinematic output there are few movies more beloved than House On Haunted Hill.

Demián Rugna made waves in 2023 with Where Evil Lurks. Sadly, people seemed to have forgotten about Terrified. This movie is spooky and extremely dark, but does it live up to it's title?

It's good to get outside your comfort zone, or at least that's what Lucas' therapist says. As a result, he's decided to watch a Horror film aimed at the teen and young adult crowd. Is it any good? Is Horror important for kids? And how does it compare to the Horror of his childhood?

Have things gotten too spooky in the city again? Maybe our third trip to the waterfront this year will be better, since we are staying at The Beast House. (Check notes) Oh no, not again!

It wouldn't be October without a rewatch of John Carpenter's classic Halloween. This seminal slasher has become part of the historical canon of Horror. In this episode we are going to finally the all-important question: Why?

Shiraiishi Koji's Noroi: The Curse is one of the best examples of the early J-Horror Boom that occurred in the United States. Does it still have the same power? Lucas is also thinking about the role of culture in Horror and NoroI is a great in-road into that discussion.

A trio of Journalism student have made some very poor decisions in reporting the affairs of a remote village. This is a great setup for a tight, ugly Folk Horror...but is Tunisia's first International Horror outing more than that? Folk Horror is pretty popular around Fright Lab HQ, so there is plenty of ground to cover with this one.

The late 1970s was a good time for Horror in the U.S. But no movie from that time period has a reputation for weirdness quite like Phantasm. Why is that? And why is this film discussed less than other so-called Horror classics?

A castle on ancient Saxon grounds is the home to new experiments on recording technology...but there are other residents in the castle than the scientists. Who is recording who? The BBC was really doing alchemy in this era with ghost stories. And Lucas loves a good haunting.

The V/H/S series is practically an institution on Shudder and in the Horror world. So how does this newest outing stack up to earlier iterations? Lucas wants to analyze this and more!

"Oh my God, they're back." Not only is this one of the first lines of the film, but also the perfect encapsulation of Lucas' feelings when this movie landed on Tubi. It's clear that the crew had time to mature and work in more forgiving conditions than the first film. Does that translate on screen?
