Fear and Beer: A Halloween Horror Nights Podcast

Coded Horror: An AI Presented HHN Event

We’ve crafted our own HHN events, drafted ideas, and designed original Houses and Scare Zones—but can AI do it better?
This week, we put ChatGPT to the test, asking it to create the ultimate Halloween Horror Nights event, complete with 10 Houses, 5 Scare Zones, and an original Icon. What did it come up with? And is it actually any good? Let’s break it down and find out!

Shudder Sundays #25 - Caveat (2020)

March is Jamie's Picks! For Week 2, we're diving back into the eerie world of Damien McCarthy.
After covering Oddity and falling in love with his chilling style, we had to check out more of his work—and that led us to Caveat!
Starring Johnny French and Leila Sykes, this psychological horror follows a drifter with partial memory loss who takes a job caring for a disturbed woman in a secluded island house. Sounds simple, right? Think again.
Tune in as we break down Caveat and explore what makes McCarthy’s films so uniquely unsettling!

March Madness 2025 (Scare Zone to House)

March Madness is back—but with a terrifying twist! Forget NCAA basketball; we’re bringing our own bracket challenge to the table!
This year, we’re pitting some of our favorite recent Scare Zones against each other to determine which one would make the ultimate haunted house.
Will the neon-soaked chaos of Anarch-Cade reign supreme? Or will Jungle of Doom emerge as the underdog Cinderella story of the tournament?
Tune in as we debate, defend, and decide the winner!
