49. Five Nights at Hauntsville

Discussions of horror faves and flops, breakdowns of what makes things scary, and arguments about which werewolf is best. Here in Hauntsville, the real horror is the friendships we made along the way.

A lot can happen to a franchise in forty years: six sequels, one spin-off, a reboot and one true sequel to a film based on the most wonderful time of the year. Today we talk about Halloween, and the time Anna Broke up with Rob Zombie.

Hauntsville is:

Episode 1: Halloween - The New One

It's the holiday season here in Hauntsville, and that means it's time for a slew of mediocre film releases that Doza looks forward to every year. This time, we managed to find some new favorites while revisiting the classics. 

Wishing you all a Scary Christmas and Happy Horror-days!
