It's time for another franchise centric episode. And instead of finding one of the heaviest hitters in the horror genre, I wanted to watch one of the more quirky and lesser-ish known series.

But how different does it get? Real different.  Follow us on:Facebook.com/CaffeineAndScreamsPodcastInstagram @CaffeineAndScreamsPodcastTwitter @ ScreamsCaffeine
