This week we travel back to the VHS days of the 90s and cover Campfire Tales.  This film has early performances from James Marsden, Amy Smart, Christine Taylor, and Christopher Masterson.  This is one of the lesser known horror anthologies and we feel it deserves to be talked about more.

This episode we're covering the new film Clown in a Cornfield.  

Based on the novel by Adam Cesare, the film version is written by Eli Craig and Carter Blanchard and also directed by Craig.  

This is one of those slasher films where the title sort of tells you all you need to know.  

The film is definitely a throwback to the slashers of the 80s and we loved it.  

Tune in to hear why!
