Fear and Beer: A Halloween Horror Nights Podcast

This week on Shudder Sundays, we’re taking a twisted walk down the YellowBrickRoad but trust us, there’s no Emerald City at the end of this journey.
YellowBrickRoad follows a group of researchers investigating the mysterious disappearance of an entire New Hampshire town back in 1940.
We break down the eerie atmosphere, psychological horror, and that unforgettable sound design that makes YellowBrickRoad one of indie horror’s most underrated trips.
So grab your maps (not that they’ll help), hit play, and let’s get lost together.

In a hybrid podcast/live format we bring you this week's episode with amazing news!
WE HAVE ANOTHER ANNOUNCEMENT!
That's right...on a Friday of all days (who could have guessed?), but not just any Friday; Friday the 13th! Which can only mean one thing!
JASON VOORHEES IS BACK! Let's dive into the announcement video, the press release and even the preview merch!

This month we are playing a bit of catch up so as a we start this month we cover the movie we were suppose to finish with last month for our "Halfway to Halloween" theme!
 
All Hallows' Eve is a 2013 American horror anthology film written, edited, and directed by Damien Leone. The film is presented as a series of shorts that two children and their babysitter discover on an unmarked videotape on Halloween night, all of which feature a homicidal clown named Art the Clown

Well it's officially ANNOUNCEMENT Season! We have zoomed through Speculation Season right into the official stuff!
We had a 1/2 of an announcement on Sunday night with the confirmation that Five Night At Freddy's will be at Halloween Horror Nights Orlando and Hollywood in some capacity AND we got our FIRST House Announcement in the form of Fallout!
On top of that we got all kinds of tickets, add on options as well as preview merch!

In the past 2 weeks we have missed a lot! Speculation Map 2.0 from Horror Night Nightmares, a Spooky Empire HHN Panel, HHN34 Preview Merch and so much more!
We also spent 2 days at Epic Universe AND hosted our 5 Year Anniversary/100 Days Until HHN Trivia event!
Why waste any more time? Let's dive in!

We're keeping the "Halfway to Halloween" vibes going strong for this month's Shudder Sundays with a look at The Houses October Built!
Now streaming on Shudder is the original 2011 version of The Houses October Built — and we had to check it out to see how it stacks up against the more well-known 2014 release.
What we discovered is a creepy, documentary-style film that blurs the line between fact and fiction, leaving you wondering... "This can't be real... can it?"

To fill in hopefully some of the last "quiet" weeks before we get the ball actually rolling on Halloween Horror Nights this year we figured a little AMA would be a fun way to talk about stuff YOU want us to talk about!

For the month of May we are going to be celebrating the season of "Halfway to Halloween"!
What better way to get into the "Halloween" season than Halloween itself! 
Ten years after his original massacre, the invalid Michael Myers awakens on Halloween Eve and returns to Haddonfield to kill his seven-year-old niece Jamie. Can Dr. Loomis stop him?
Where does this Halloween iteration land in your franchise ranking?

After a mini break we are back with the whole gang! This week we're going to discuss all the recent and not so recent rumors we've seen/heard about Halloween Horror Nights 34.
 
What seems to be sticking? Are some rumors dead at this point? Is there anything new? (Yes, yes there is!)
 
Grab a cold one and let's dive in!

To round out of month of April's category of "Best New Shudder Movies" we dive into the 2024 Crime Thriller Dead Mail!
An ominous help note finds its way to a 1980s post office, connecting a dead letter investigator Jasper to a kidnapped keyboard technician.
As he investigates further, Jasper meets Trent, a strange yet unassuming man who has taken up residence at the men's home where Jasper lives. When Trent unexpectedly shows up at Jasper's office, it becomes clear he has a vested interest in the note, and will stop at nothing to retrieve it....
