In the late 70s and early 80s, you couldn't throw a cat without hitting a Jaws horror ripoff. This one takes that time tested monster-in-the-water formula and layers in some Greek mythology, virgin sacrifice, and James Earl Jones. So join Tom and Ryan for our Halloween episode as we discuss Academy Award-winning actors, military juntas, and ravenous sex demons in the 1982 horror flick Blood Tide!

The original, 1959 version of The House on Haunted Hill is widely considered a horror classic. We seek to understand why, and instead we discover self-playing organs, trunks full of heads, acid vats, and skeleton puppets!
