  • Blair Witch 2 – Where is the Book!?
    23 Oct 2026

    Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2 is a typical cash grab sequel. Fast tracked to theaters, it is a hodgepodge of half-baked ideas — none of which are good.

    Worse, mostly ditching the found footage aesthetic, Blair Witch 2 is never scary or tense. What made the original feel fresh and interesting is abandoned for derivative cliches.

    This one belongs in the dustbin of horror history.

    Now, sit back, dance around the fire with a Halloween Slasher IPA from Voodoo Ranger, and don't bring the witch back with you! The Thunderous Wizard, Chumpzilla, and Bling Blake are watching the tapes in reverse to figure out what the hell happened last night!

    This Week’s Segments:

    • Introduction/Plot Breakdown – Evil doesn't die!
    • Lingering Questions – Did this do right by the property? (37:55)
    • The "Where's the Goddamn Book" Trivia Challenge – Bling Blake challenges the field to trivia about the movie. (1:04:53)
    • Recommendations – We offer our picks for the week and next up: We continue our Horrible Horror Sequels series with Halloween III: Season of the Witch! (1:21:40)

  • Freddy's Dead – Wake Us Up
    16 Oct 2026

    Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare is exactly what you'd expect from an aging franchise that's overstayed its welcome. It looks and feels cheap; pales in comparison to prior entries; and boasts a script not befitting the icon it represents.

    Frankly, Freddy's Dead is a travesty. If it weren't later redeemed by Wes Craven's exceptional New Nightmare, it may have gone down as the single worst final entry in any mainline horror franchise.

    Now, sit back, stay up late with a Tucked in By Strangers IPA from Paperback Brewing Co., and avoid the Nazi lady at Springwood's budget town fair! The Thunderous Wizard, Chumpzilla, and Bling Blake are hoping the Dream Warriors save us from this nightmare!

    This Week’s Segments:

    • Introduction/Plot Breakdown – They saved the best (worst) for last!
    • Lingering Questions – Were any of Freddy's hijinks even remotely scary? (22:55)
    • The "I Beat My High Score" Trivia Challenge – The Thunderous Wizard challenges the field to trivia about the movie. (35:09)
    • Recommendations – We offer our picks for the week and next up: We continue our Horrible Horror Sequels series with Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2! (45:08)
