Happy Holidays! Here's a short sketch we recorded working up to our return to Home Invasion Horror... Part 2: Because You Were Home

LHR: I Am The Pretty Thing That Lives in the House, Glory Daze, Paranormal Activity: Ghost Dimension
For our latest Lunch Hour Review Mindy suffered through The Last Exorcism Part II (2013) and for some reason the newest installment in the Paranormal Activity series, The Ghost Dimension, but turned it around with her dive into the Glory Daze (2016), a documentary about Michael Alig and the NYC party monsters. Darren thoroughly enjoyed Oz Perkins's atmospheric poem of a film, I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House (2016).
100th Episode! Meta-Horror!
For our massive 100th Episode we explored Meta-Horror with Wes Craven's New Nightmare (1994), Scream (1996), and Joss Whedon and Drew Goddard’s Cabin in the Woods (2012). (Including material from our live Tweet with fans for New Nightmare.) We also shed a little light on perhaps the first Meta-Horror movie, Rolfe Kanefsky’s There’s Nothing Out There (1991).
“Not in my Movie”: The 90s Slasher Cycle and Grrrl Power by Alexandra West
Horror Film and Psycho Analysis; Freud’s Worst Nightmare by Jonathan Crane
Watch Copycat, the story of Rolfe Konefsky's There's Nothing Out There.
LHR: The Eyes of My Mother
We review Nicolas Pesce's impressive feature film debut The Eyes of My Mother. A beautiful career start, you might be reminded of A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night (2014). Check it out when it hits theaters and VOD on December 2!
The Nitehawk Shorts Festival
We review our outing to The Nitehawk Shorts Festival and a chat with Sam Zimmerman about Shudder's role in selecting the films for the fest. We go over our favorite horror shorts, name-checking directors with focus on the strong outing by women filmmakers.
