Written by Jayro Bustamante and Lisandro Sanchez

Stars María Mercedes Coroy, Sabrina De La Hoz, Margarita Kenéfic 

Premiered at Venice Film Festival August 30, 2019

Released exclusively on Shudder August 6, 2020 

Not Rated

Synopsis: A retired army general on trial for war crimes holes up with his family in their mansion while protestors gather outside. Inside the mansion the general is being haunted by the ghost of one of the many people he killed.

We decided it would probably be best if we watched something a little lighter next. With this in mind, our next movie will be Psycho Goreman, the newest feature from one half of the team that brought you The Void. If you’ve seen that one then you know we’re in store for something visually striking at the least. So check this one out and we’ll see you in two weeks.

Next up is a movie we've been anxiously waiting for...The Endless. Brought to you by one of our favorite movie duos, Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead (Spring, Resolution). The Endless will get a theatrical release on April 6, 2018 - so if it's playing at a theater near you, we highly recommend checking it out before you tune in for our review.

94 | Haunters: The Art of the Scare

Haunters-review5.jpg

Director/Writer: Jon Schnitzer 

Synopsis: Part of the “hobby” docs sub-genre, like King of Kong, this documentary gives us an introduction into the history of haunted attractions, some explanations as to why people have always been drawn to attractions like these, & finally & most compellingly, it shows us some of people responsible for creating the scares. We meet a few lucky haunters who have been able to parlay their passion into a successful career, but by & large we follow the ones who still have day jobs, & who are balancing their hobby with the other aspects of their lives with varying degrees of success.

(Out of 5 stars)

          We need your help, listeners! If you like the show, if you think there is something we could do better, if there's a movie you think we should cover, if you love videos of adorable baby animals, we want to know about it!! The best way to get those things to happen is to leave us comments/reviews on iTunes, Stitcher, and our website. Therefore, to sweeten the deal, we are holding a contest for our listeners. We cover all the details of the contest in this episode (Ep. # 29) so you'll need to listen to find out what you need to do to win. 

          We highly encourage folks to listen and then participate. Not only will you be helping us to improve the show but you'll also be in the running for a Halloween mix CD made, with love, by Amy as well as another horror-related prize (which will remain a mystery for now).

          Stay tuned and follow us on Twitter and Facebook for updates about the contest!

We mention the newly released trailer for The Witch in this episode, so we have included it for your viewing pleasure. 

Next up on our "To Review" list...Sinister 2. Yet another horror sequel from the powerhouse production company, Blumhouse Productions. Join us as we dive back into the strange world of Bughuul and his continuous obsession with collecting murderous children.
