Did... did that door just move?

Paranormal Activity did the unthinkable: made just about everyone afraid of their own homes. In a stroke of genius, the series strips the haunted house story to its core and makes it relatable. Everybody knows the feeling of hearing footsteps at night, or maybe seeing some lights flickering, or portals that transport you to the early 1990s-- wait, what? The Paranormal Activity series starts firmly planted on a tripod but quickly eschews that for secret covens and time travelling camcorders. Yep.

John ‘The Jigsaw Killer’ Kramer has done the unthinkable: somehow made the Saw movies the most popular horror franchise of the mid-00s. Swapping a coherent plot for buckets of blood and gore, the Saw series leans on its shock value to distract from its overly convoluted and under-written continuity. "Want to play a game?” No. Now take your pig mask and get out of here.

The mantle for best werewolf story is a hotly debated subject: Is it An American Werewolf in London? What about The Wolfman? Goosebumps’ Werewolf Skin? Well screw all that because this episode is about The Howling series! 1988’s psycho-sexual horror mystery The Howling and 2011’s The Howling: Reborn, a bargain bin Twilight with a shoestring budget. Grab a Coors Light and give it a listen!

Come on down to Camp Crystal Lake where we haven't had a single camper die for weeks!

For a fun throwback we'll be checking out some old reels from the 1980/2009 seasons! Watch as the counselors enjoy various camp amenities such as track and field, archery and ax throwing. (Pay attention, because there just might be a cameo from every camper's favorite former cook: Mrs. Voorhees!) If movies aren't your thing, you can always go for a nature run with former camper/current groundskeeper Jason!
