Halloweenies: A Horror Franchise Podcast

It's a cruel summer. The heat is on, our swimsuits are on, and our swim game is on. To celebrate these hot, humid days, the Halloweenies are hitting the water to continue their Universal Monsters coverage with Jack Arnold's The Creature from the Black Lagoon.

The hosts dive into their top horror films of 2025, highlighting chilling gems like 'Pins and Needles' and discussing disappointments. They explore intriguing adaptations, including a retelling of 'Cinderella' and a Stephen King story, while reflecting on modern cinema's impact. Nostalgia takes center stage as they critique the dominance of blockbusters and celebrate actors’ roles in pop culture. The conversation dances between humor and deeper themes, covering everything from campy obsession in 'Borderline' to the evolving landscape of horror.
