In this episode, we discuss what makes this version so devisive amongst fans of the series, what it might have gotten wrong about the Deadites, how it compares to prior entries, and what makes Evil Dead an enduring horror property.

There's ALWAYS more to the story, especially in horror. This is the genre that popularized sequels like no other - so which are the best? There's really one answer here and that's James Cameron's Aliens. But since that title has been drafted too many times it's off the board and we had to get creative! Luckily, there are still plenty of #2's that equal and even best the original.
Combatants Griffey, Dandino, Heath and Sophia are back for battle. Who drafted the ultimate list of direct sequels? Does it include Scream 2 - the meta commentary on horror sequels? How about another Cameron classic Terminator 2? There's no-brainers like Evil Dead 2, Hellraiser 2 and Final Destination 2. Or perhaps you're into something more adventurous like the body-horror terror that is The Santa Clause 2.
Whichever sequels you like best, we've got so many you should listen to this episode twice! Let us know who won this draft in the comments and visit our Instagram to vote on our poll.

Today Griffey and Alex unearth an explosive bout of witchcraft in The Blood on Satan's Claw. They discuss how the film uses the fear and embrace of witchcraft to rip through every aspect of this villages life, if any of the rituals are actually occult magic or just the sick result of paranoia, and Linda Hayden's power house performance as the menacing Angel Blake. This film is a perfect blend of the real world and spiritual on an isolated battlefield. We as audiences are left asking where would we stand if this Messed Up secret were unearthed in our village. 
Synopsis: After a landsman in 18th century England discovers a corpse covered in fur buried in a field, the town becomes infected by "the devil's skin," leading the local children to engage in demonic rituals and criminal behavior.
Starring: Patrick Wymark, Linda Hayden, Barry Andrews, Michele Dotrice, Wendy Padbury

Get in losers, let's go to the movies. We're saddling up and strutting our way through the Messed Up mall of Forbidden Fruits - the latest Shudder original that's part Mean Girls, part The Craft and part Mallrats? That last one is debatable, especially for high school Griffey.
In this episode, Sam reveals his new approach to reviewing movies by going totally method and stepping into the mind of a teenage mall girl from Texas. Meanwhile, Griffey and Heath grapple with whether they are aging out of stories intended for Gen Z. By the way, were there supposed to be witches in this movie?
Logline: At a mall store, Apple leads a secret witch cult with coworkers Cherry and Fig. New hire Pumpkin questions their sisterhood, forcing them to confront inner darkness or meet violent ends.
Director: Meredith Alloway 
Starring: Lili Reinhart, Lola Tung, Victoria Pedretti, Alexandra Shipp, Gabrielle Union

Horror is as hot as ever and there's one company that's been at the center of its resurgence more than any other in the 21st Century. No, not A24. Sorry, fanboys and girls. We are of course talking about BLUMHOUSE! It all started in 2007 with an obscure found footage gem called Paranormal Activity. Since then, the house that Jason Blum built has become the go-to name for spooky cinema, franchise favorites and the latest blockbusters like Obsession and Backrooms.
Griffey, Heath, Sam and special guest Hunter Griffey throw down for battle to see who's the real man of the Blumhouse!
