Shudder Sundays #39 - The Ruins (2008)

This week, we’re taking a one-way trip to the jungle with The Ruins!
 
What starts as a fun vacation quickly spirals into a grisly fight for survival when a group of friends stumbles upon an off-the-map Mayan temple. But the real horror isn’t what's inside, it’s what's growing on the outside.
 
Body horror, paranoia, and nature turning against you in the most brutal ways! This underrated gem is not for the squeamish. Let’s dig into the vines, the screams, and that infamous scene that made everyone fear plants forever.

Shudder Sundays #38 - Prom Night (1980)

It’s time to relive one of the OG slashers that helped define a generation of slashers!
This week’s Shudder Sundays dives into Prom Night (1980)! Starring scream queen Jamie Lee Curtis, this cult classic serves up disco and deadly revenge as a masked killer stalks a group of teens during their high school prom. With its slow-burn tension, iconic dance scenes, and a chilling whodunit mystery at its core, Prom Night blends '80s glam with slasher grit in all the right ways.
 
We’ll break down the kills, the killer, and how this early entry in the slasher boom still holds up today. So grab your corsage and get ready to dance… to death.

This week, we’re heading to Castle Rock for a rabidly intense slice of Stephen King horror with Cujo!
What starts as a routine trip to the mechanic quickly turns into a brutal fight for survival when a once-friendly St. Bernard turns savage after a bat bite.
