The Overlook Film Festival just concluded its 2023 event, and it really flexed its influence this year. By my count there were two ★★★★★ movies and at least five ★★★★ movies, meaning that we will see several of them back at the best of awards this year. There are several films here that will be influential for years to come, I am certain. Overlook has once again treated us to some of the best curated films in the genre, and from this festival I can assure our fans that there is much to look forward to coming soon to a theater near you. Listen to Eric and Liz discuss the best (and worst) of the event.

Hello? I'd like a room for the night. Famous. Last. Words. If you are tired and driving down a remote desert highway, and are feeling a bit tired, you will know that the last thing you should do is check into a skeevy Motel at the side of the road. The Scariest Things pulls off on the side of the road to scout the dodgy lodging in advance for you in Episode 163: Hotel-Motel-BnB Horror.

It's the age old debate: Book vs. Movie. Which did it better? In the spotlight in Episode 6 of Spooky Time: Paul Tremblay's novel: The Cabin at the End of the World vs. M. Night Shyamalan's Knock at the Cabin.

It's SPOOKY TIME! In this week's episode: Liz returns from Rome, with a report on the Profondo Rosso Store. Robert found a highly curated horror book subscription service. Eric announced a team up with the Jersey Ghouls for a Zombie March Madness Bracket Dance. And... Mike was on a train to the great white oblivion.

Liz flees to Rome to escape the oncoming hordes of Mardi Gras invaders (and to go on a Dario Argento Pilgrimage), leaving Robert, Eric, and a freshly shaven Mike Campbell sans beard to carry on with Spooky Time. Topics Include: Deadstream, The Last of Us, Children of the Corn, and a Cronenberg TV Conversion.

Behold, the Horror Movie Mullet: Slow-Burn Horror! It's business (plot building) in the front, and a party (big third-act finish). You can thank Liz Williams for that analogy! The concept of the slow-burn horror movie is not new, but it is a prominent description for many contemporary horror movies. Break out the coffee, and try not to spill it in the shocking third act of Episode 162: Slow-Burn Horror!

In Spooky Time, our weekly roundup of horror musings from the world of film, TV, Books and games, this weeks topics are: Eric talks about a really scary PC Video Game. Robert found a collection of overseas Lovecraft graphic novels. Mike recommends two movies with the word "DEATH" in the title. Liz reviews Brett Easton Ellis's (American Psycho) new book The Shards. And as a bonus talks about a movie she had to bail on.

THIS IS A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: A bit of clear eyed truth here. Within our beloved horror genre, we will get subjected to some pretty lousy films. Though we believe in 2022 there were more good movies than bad, some of the bad movies really disappointed, and some had a stink that will be hard to be rid of. What movies you ask? Listen and find out in Episode 161!
