On this episode of Dads From The Crypt, we're reviewing Buddy, the latest mind-bending film from Casper Kelly! We're also diving into what we're calling the “Millennial Media Horror” trend — movies and media that blur the line between nostalgia, surrealism, and straight-up nightmare fuel.

What is it about this kind of bizarre, unsettling entertainment that gets under our skin? Is Buddy the perfect example of this emerging trend, or are we just watching our childhood media turn into something deeply disturbing? We're breaking down the movie, sharing our thoughts, and discussing where this strange corner of horror fits into the genre.

Join us for another episode of Dads From The Crypt, where we celebrate horror, cult classics, and all the weird stuff lurking in the crypt!

This week, the Dads dive into one of the most memorable and genuinely creepy episodes of Tales From The Crypt — Season 2’s “Television Terror”!

Horton Rivers (Morton Downey Jr.) is a ratings-hungry shock journalist who will do just about anything to give his audience a show they’ll never forget. So when he takes his camera crew inside the infamous Ritter Home Boarding House for a live broadcast, he thinks he’s found the perfect ratings stunt.

There’s just one problem… the house is actually haunted.

The Dads break down Morton Downey Jr.’s wonderfully obnoxious performance, the episode’s creepy haunted-house atmosphere, its darkly hilarious take on sensationalist television, and the surprisingly ahead-of-its-time use of a live-camera perspective that feels like a precursor to the found-footage horror that would become popular years later.

Is “Television Terror” one of the scariest episodes of Tales From The Crypt? Is Horton Rivers the ultimate horror-TV asshole? And just how far would YOU go for ratings?

Tune in… if you dare!
