Eric and Mike have seen so many good horror movies that we figured we would recap some of our favorite films we've seen this year... but not from this year, if that makes sense.
Tropes are the backbone of the horror genre. The familiarity with the cliches, types, and recognizable story elements provide knowing winks. We talk about our favorites in Episode 44!

Who wants bonus horror? Well, we've got it for you... a little extra has been put into our Top 100 list between 70-61. It stretches the entirety of the genre, from the very beginning to the very recent. Black and white, goofy, and somber. Drink in the next batch of our Top 100 list!
The breadth of the genre really shows up in this episode! Gateway kid horror shows up, for the first time (and not the last), plus the movie that launched "torture-porn", a couple of stellar Korean films, and a feathered gift from the Master of Suspense.
