Wouldst thou like to live deliciously?

The AHH! Crew does and tonight, Mike, Kat & Andrew are talking about Robert Eggers' 2015 feature film debut, The VVitch! If you're from Plymouth, or the surrounding area, this is a must-see film due to the impact America's Hometown had on the production (for real, shoutout to Plimouth Pawtuxet).

Also, Mike talks about Fright Kingdom postponing their annual Christmas haunt, Are You Afraid of the Dark streaming on CBS All Access along with updates on Hannibal Season 4 & a potential Killer Klowns From Outer Space sequel.

Winter is here, snow is on the ground and we are in the middle of a pandemic that may as well be of alien origin, so what better time to cover John Carpenter's 1982 masterpiece The Thing?

Featuring groundbreaking practical effects, an unforgettable monster and a classic 80s badass performance from Kurt Russell, The Thing has become one of the most revered horror movies ever made (but that wasn't always the case).

But first, Mike gives a mini review of The Wolf of Snow Hollow (it's awesome) and the gang talks about Warner Brothers releasing all of their movies on HBO Max in 2021, including Godzilla Vs. Kong, The Conjuring 3, Malignant & Dune.

The Egg Nog is flowing and the AHH! Crew is amped up to discuss Joe Dante's 1984 classic, Gremlins! Yes, it's a Christmas movie and it's not even up for debate.

While it may not be a full-on horror movie, Gremlins packs some intense punches for a PG rated movie aimed at children. In fact, this was one of the movies that was influential in creating the PG-13 rating system.

An important warning: while listening to this episode, do not expose yourself to light (more specifically sunlight), do not come into contact with water and for the love of God, do not listen after midnight.

Happy Holidays to all!

If you haven't seen this one, a horde of bloodthirsty vampires descends on the Northernmost town in North America, where for one month each year, the sun does not rise. An excellent premise that delivers.

And in the news, Nickelodeon's Are You Afraid of the Dark reboot is returning with a second season, titled "Curse of the Shadows."

A dark, claustrophobic January continues to roll on and tonight, the AHH! Crew is breaking down Neil Marshall's 2005 modern classic, The Descent!

But that's not all -- if you have a fear of the dark, or you're claustrophobic, this one will leave you with nightmares. Seriously, you've been warned.

After the much-praised 2018 legacy sequel, new life was inserted into the adventures of Laurie Strode & Michael Myers, and this movie picks up merely seconds after the end of that film. And the title does the film justice. This might be the most brutal Michael Myers we've ever seen.

But how is it? Tune in to find out!

When you're alone and life is making you lonely, you can always go... Downtown.

The AHH Crew is back for another episode to tackle another brand new horror movie, and this week they're giving their thoughts on Edgar Wright's latest flick, Last Night in Soho!

While Wright is known for genre-blending cult classics like Shaun of The Dead, Last Night in Soho is definitely his most serious movie. It tells the story of an aspiring fashion designer who is mysteriously able to enter the 1960s where she encounters a dazzling up-and-coming singer. But the glamour is not all it appears to be and the dreams of the past start to crack and splinter into something darker.

Tune in for a full review. But first -- Mike, Kat & Andrew give their thoughts on various horror items, including American Horror Story: Death Valley, What We Do In The Shadows Season 3, Behind The Monsters on Shudder & Brand New Cherry Flavor on Netflix.
