    Waxwork, 1988, Starring Deborah Foreman and Zach Galligan

    Let's dive into the delightfully.cocaine-fueled nonsense that is Waxwork, shall we? Justin and Auriane laugh through this wonderful, FX-laden, hot mess of a movie and dish on their favorite (and not so favorite) elements. They're joined by Bella Lu Ghostly, and even find a little extra time to deliver their monthly Horror 'Toots and Boots.' Have you watched Waxwork? Join us! It's a fabulous disaster!

    13 Ghosts starring Tony Shalhoub and Shannon Elizabeth

    Today we dissect one of Justin's favorite so-bad-it's-good Horror remakes, 13 Ghosts. We get into our favorite, bloody, death scenes, our concerns about the convoluted plot, and most importantly we ask: WHERE DID THE GHOSTS GO?! Are they at a local rest stop? Lost in the woods? Is "Bloody Boobs" on Only Fans?! You can find your hosts, Auriane and Justin on Instagram @Aurianederudder and @JustinMayfieldArt. You can find Auriane's books, podcasts and other work at www.aurianederudder.
