Halloween Kills Ends and we’ve saved the scariest for last, a documentary on creepypasta, the legacy of virality, child trauma, a rise in clown hauntings just before the world fell apart, and the serious work that goes into being a funny, kind, hopeful clown performing artist. We bring positivity and hope into a world feeling low and broken, and wave adieu to scary clown halloween.
255 - WRONG TURN 2021
Halloween Kills Month carries on with another scary franchise’s rebooting experience. Johnny digs into his childhood memories of the original Wrong Turn, and an adult run in with the final in the first phase of the franchise, and Andrew discusses watching later Halloween films over the past week as a friend gave updates on their own Wrong Turn marathon, all leading to a screening of this nearly 2-hour revamp of the entire concept.
BONUS - THE TERMINAL COMMENTARY
Johnny’s birthday celebration this year means he’s watching Steven Spielberg’s 2004 comedy drama The Terminal, with Andrew in tow for fun and games. Talk of airport nostalgia, product placement, the never-aging beauty of Diego Luna AND Zoe Saldana, the horniness of imdb keywords and… Shanksville? What is that? Come spend over 2 hours stuck in an airport of cinema with the Are You Movie Mad gang.

254 - HALLOWEEN II
As Halloween Kills prepares to take a stab at the big screen, Johnny takes Andrew back to Haddonfield for the follow-up to the original Halloween movie. Everyone knows the big reveal, but what else is there waiting for them? What are their takes on the franchise, compared to other slasher features, and working out the timelines of this particular set of movies?
253 - THIR13EN GHOSTS
October is, of course, the spookiest month, Halloween Kills month itself, and Johnny has once more taken the reins to show Andrew a series of scary motion pictures. We begin with the Matthew Lillard-starring ‘I remember this from back at school’ movie 13 Ghosts, where Johnny reads descriptions for each of the Ectocean’s gang, and the duo discuss No Time To Die, a film they had definitely watched before recording.
