About this Episode
In the Halloween spirit, we delve into a modern horror filmmaker's filmography. We focus mainly on "You're Next" and "The Guest", but also briefly discuss "A Horrible Way To Die", "Death Note", and his remake, "Blair Witch".
**Listener Discretion: there's no "E" for explicit because we don't curse in this episode, but we do discuss the sex and violence in the films.
