Brian is dedicated to turning Steve into a Jack Sholder fan. First it was Renegades. Then he didn't hate Freddy's Revenge as much. And now he's trying to get Steve to love Kyle MacLachlan's first turn as an FBI agent. But before he chased the embodiment of evil in Twin Peaks, he chased a giant space slug beetle in LA. Part buddy cop. Part horror thriller. All fueled by yayo.

| Minisode 85: Fear Dot Com (2002) | 10 Jul 2023 | 01:49:49 | |
Break out the Steel Reserve, because it's the only way you can watch or in Steve's case talk about 2002's Fear Dot Com. Brian, as the current champ, has plucked this abomination and probable tax dodge from the vault of the forgotten. Starring Stephen Dorff, this film is nothing short of a Ring ripoff, but worse in every possible way. Also we announce our possible topics for August and some news about the Patreon.

| Minisode 151: Boys From County Hell (2020) | 17 Mar 2025 | 01:38:48 | |
It's the true story of St. Patty's Day! Saint Patrick didn't chase the snakes out of Ireland; he buried the original vampire under some rocks and that's why we all eat cabbage today because it looks like tiny boulders. Chat is this true? Guess you'll have to listen to this episode and watch this film to find out if that Bram Stoker was full of it. Also, find out if Brian drinks enough to attempt an Irish accent.

On the first episode of the AM Era, Brian and Steve open the curtains on Ted Geoghegan's latest film Brooklyn 45. A tale of ghosts and the horrors of war following you home.

| Minisode 80: Mahakaal (1993) | 22 May 2023 | 02:16:26 | |
This week we're watching a listener suggestion. All the way from Indian comes Mahakaal; a near scene for scene rip off of the original Nightmare on Elm Street. But the directors of the film Shyam and Tulsi Ramsay said, "What if we add a bunch of dance numbers, kung fu fights, and the Indian equivalent of Ernest P. Worrell?"

| Minisode 150: Sharkenstein (2016) | 10 Mar 2025 | 02:22:59 | |
From Mary Shelley's Frankenstein to very smelly Sharkenstein, our patrons having won last week's Showdown have decided to punish us appropriately. From the sick and twisted mind of Mark Polonia comes the tale of Tri-State Area terror. But not really. It's another junk slapdash video to trick high people on streaming using one of the three magic SEOs phrases of shark, Amityville or Bigfoot. We don't like it, but somehow it all ends up in a Chuck Tingle discussion.

| Minisode 71: A Wounded Fawn (2022) | 27 Feb 2023 | 01:29:04 | |
We end February with one of our favorite movies of 2022, A Wounded Fawn. Directed by Travis Stevens and starring Josh Ruben and Sarah Lind, the film is dripping in mythology and blood. This week we learn about Greek mythology, but also Peruvian mythology. Which may or may not apply. It's kinda confusing. Are there ghosts? Is it all in their head? Doesn't matter. It's a gripping watch filmed on lush 16 mm. Plus some of us announce our film for the March Showdown Find Us Online- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/halloweenisforever/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/HallowForever Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@halloweenisforeverpod Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HalloweenIsForeverPod E-Mail: Halloweenisforeverpod@gmail.com | |||

Perhaps by design of the Divine Goddess, our 69th minisode is also on Valentine's Day show and we're also fated to talk about The Love Witch.
