It's my last Haunt-Along installment of the season. Buckle up, because we're in for one hell of a ride: mother! (2017) has arrived.

Well kids, it's my last #Hauntalong of the year, and since Halloween is only days away, we have to end on a real treat of a film. Blood, brains, and the occasional butt, they're all here--what good is a Halloween without these things? My treat to you tricks: Brain Damage.

It’s my last #hauntalong of 2026! And it’s by special request, so I aim to please! So today I want to get into a little-known Canuxploitation flick: CANNIBAL GIRLS.

Happy #hauntalong! Today I'm recommending Slaxx (2020), a Canadian horror comedy about a pair of jeans that come to life and murders employees at a trendy clothing store. Yes. Killer jeans. That's the movie. It’s really silly and really fun.

My first five TTRPGs (probably): 1. Basic D&D 2. WEG Star Wars 3. AD&D 2nd Edition 4. Deadlands 5. Rifts

“My story's not like a movie. It’s not heartstopping or intense or bloodcurdling or graphic or violent. No jump scares. To me, these qualities aren’t scary. Something that disorients, that unsettles what’s taken for granted, something that disturbs and disrupts reality-that’s scary.” -Iain Reid

My last couple #hauntalong entries have been pretty heavy, so this week I'm gonna get back to basics with some proper "Halloween Horror" picks as the holiday fast approaches. I know Haunt-A-Long tends to favor lesser known picks, but this week we revisit a classic. One by one, they will take you...

Tonight we’re transporting ourselves to the strange and frightening time of pandemic lockdown with that era's definitive found-footage horror … Light a candle, turn off the lights, dig up a creepy music box. It’s time for Host.

Happy #hauntalong, friends! Today I'm recommending a movie about beauty, aging, self-loathing, and, most importantly, COMMITTING TO THE BIT. The Substance (2024).

I was supposed to post my horror movie recommendation yesterday but was unable to due to unforeseen circumstances (i.e., I forgot). But that means today is a double feature. I’m going to try to convince you to try out 2020’s THE NIGHT HOUSE, an unconventional haunted house story.

This is going to be a fairly quick #hauntalong because it is a movie that so much has already been said about, but it was one of the movies that gave me the idea to do Sadtober. Today I’m going to talk a little bit about Rob Reiner’s 1990 classic, Misery. Some mild spoilers ahead.

The Haunt-Along continues with Annihilation, Alex Garland's 2018 sci-fi/horror movie loosely based on the 2014 novel by Jeff VanderMeer. It's as beautiful as it is vicious, and I strongly strongly recommend (tho I have to say, the book is even better. go read it if you haven't!!)

It’s our midway point in the #hauntalong, so let’s take a breath and take a gander at evidence of one of the the worst ideas in film history: Roar.

Time for another #hauntalong Ann Biller’s Love Witch (2016), a horror comedy and love letter to the 1960's about Elaine, a modern witch, who fled San Francisco for a small town in the redwoods when things got too hot. Unfortunately, she falls once more into her femme fatale ways.

One of my favorite genre tropes is also one of the most relatable: the strange and unusual as benign in the face of real, human evil. This week’s #hauntalong pick is one of the earliest examples of that in cinema. Tonight, we celebrate the freaks. Tod Browning’s “Freaks” in particular.

Time for another #hauntalong recommendation! This time it’s Mark Mylod’s The Menu (2022), a horror comedy about a group of extremely wealthy people who travel to a private island for an exclusive tasting menu. Since this is a horror movie, you can imagine dinner does not go as expected.

It’s #hauntalong again! That’s when the RPG writers at the Coldhearth Collective share some of their favourite and/or most notorious horror movies. This year they let me tag along & I am starting my entries with the Hindi horror-comedy BHOOT POLICE. (That's GHOST POLICE for any English speakers.)

The 24-HOUR HORROR MOVIE MIND MELTER is happening right now at secretcinematheque.com. Here are the tentative screening times, with hints of what will be playing:

The CHC Haunt-along continues! Today we're going to talk about the Russian supernatural horror film VIY! It's the story of a young seminarian who's forced into a three day face-off with the forces of darkness.

This week for #hauntalong I’ll be talking about the 2026 Shudder Original Goody Goody, written and directed by Raymond Creamer, a really unique take on the possession genre. Goody Goody has content warnings for body horror, and pregnancy/childbirth horror.

Haunt-Along 2026 Here we go again with an overlooked gem from the masters of constrained budgets, John Adams, Zelda Adams, and Toby Poser: The Deeper You Dig (2019)

Another year, another #hauntalong. This year feels like hell for a lot of us, figuratively and literally--where I am, we're being ravaged by heatwaves in October and rising costs of living thanks to the greed of men. Hell is full, and the devils are here. Specifically, Ken Russell's "The Devils".

Thank you for all the shares and reposts. We're trying to scrape every dime together to get ready for this move. I'm currently having to attend jury duty selection, so I may lose work shifts this week and next. I also haven't received payouts for game profits. Any share or contribution helps.

Last year, a bunch of you helped Bran and I get out of a terrible living situation, heading to the first stage of us getting out of Washington DC. We're ready for Stage 2: Move to New Orleans. We updated the #GoFundMe page with new info and where the rest of the money we're raising will be going.

Time for another #hauntalong recommendation! Today I’m recommending Vincenzo Natali’s Cube (1997), a Canadian sci-fi horror movie about a group of strangers who wake up inside a giant maze of identical rooms. Some of the rooms are safe. Some of them are super not safe.

The leaves are changing, the skies are gray, and that can only mean one thing: Haunt-Along! My first Haunt-Along pick is Saint Maud, a delightfully unsettling piece of religious horror from director Rose Glass. It's about loneliness, faith, guilt, and a little bit of murder.

Let's get these two outta DC!

There's a distinct chance I am chosen for Jury Duty on Monday. If that is the case, then we will be starting later in the day. Keep your eyes peeled!
