    23. 2023 HHN Final Preview List and Hype Rankings - Choose They Fate!

    23. 2023 HHN Final Preview List and Hype Rankings - Choose They Fate!

    It's been a crazy month since the end of our 2nd season, and we're back to kick off Season 3! A couple moves and a bout with Covid left us eager to return to our favorite topic. Halloween Horror Nights kicked off a couple weeks ago, but we've done a good job of avoiding it for the most part (Well, AJ went for a low-key night opening weekend, but only went for 2 houses). 
    Here we are with our Hype Lists mere hours before our first HHN Night. Will we accurately predict where each of our houses will rank? Will the houses make us change our opinion on The Exoricst: Believer or Chucky? Can Dueling Dragons live up to our lofty goals as fans of the ride? Can Oddfellow break through as a new icon? 
    We discuss all 10 houses, all 5 scarezones, and a handful of the extras at the event. We will be back this weekend with our ranking of the houses and scarezones and be back in the next few weeks with episodes on Nightmare on Elm Street: Dream Warriors, Prince of Darkness, and more!

    22. Gremlins (1984) - Directed by Joe Dante

    22. Gremlins (1984) - Directed by Joe Dante

    The iconic Christmas movie, creature feature, and Amblin classic. Joe Dante would later direct Small Soldiers, but his experience with Piranah and Twilight Zone: The Movie caught the attention of a young producer named Steven Spielberg. With future Harry Potter director Chris Columbus providing the screenplay, Dante, Columbus, and Spielberg create one of the biggest hits of the 1980s.

    21. Talk to Me - Directed by Danny & Michael Philippou (RackaRacka)

    It’s been a while since we’ve dropped a New Blood, and Talk to Me has taken the horror world by storm. Not only have we already heard about a filmed prequel, but a sequel was announced as well. With Talk to Me quickly becoming one of the few franchises to watch in horror, we hopped on the mics and addressed the good, the bad, and the very gross about the film.

    HHN Heads & Horror fans, welcome to our latest episode, breaking down the Halloween Horror Nights announcement that surprised the Haunt World last week. We recorded in the hours immediately after the announcement, so many of the details revealed by the team at Universal were not yet available. Keep an eye out for our series of house breakdowns, which will come with plenty of movie recommendations to get you in the spooky mood.
    Next week - a New Blood episode on ”Talk to Me!”

    18. X-Mas In July -- Black Christmas (1974/1975) - Directed by Bob Clark

    We continue our horrifying X-Mas in July series with the granddaddy of all cold-weather horror -- Black Christmas. The 1974 Slashic features Margot Kidder, Olivia Hussey, and one of the scariest killers of all time. Famed for its depiction of toxic men, scary tracking shots, and inspiring John Carpenter, Black Christmas remains an all-time great slasher today.

Fun horror podcast

Definitely feels like you’re hanging out with a film nerd and his friend (in a good way). I actually really dug Satans Slave episode because it got me to see a movie I’ve never even heard of. Subscribed to shudder because of it and love it
