Halloweenies: A Horror Franchise Podcast

Latest Episodes:

The Guest (2014) Nov 09, 2026

Show notes

With Maika Monroe taking names this weekend in Victorian Psycho, while Dan Stevens staves off the Bay Harbor Butcher in Dexter: Resurrection, and Adam Wingard's Onslaught continues to invade living rooms everywhere... we thought it was a good time to finally unlock our 2023 coverage on The Guest. The action-thriller-horror-whatever-you-want-to-call-it genre diamond is a cult favorite over a decade later, and we spent three hours talking about the marvelous soundtrack, Wingard's what-ifs, the stellar cast, and more. Enjoy and maybe consider this more of a Thanksgiving movie than, say, a Halloween flick. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Crystal Lake (2026) Oct 17, 2026

Show notes

We don't wanna scare anyone, but we're gonna give it to you straight about Jason: The Friday the 13th franchise was never recovered from the lake of development hell after reboot, and sequel, and video game, and lawsuit drowned the IP. But now he's back in Peacock's Crystal Lake and the Halloweenies have returned to the New Jersey campgrounds to axe through all eight episodes. We have a spoiler-free discussion and a spoiler-heavy discussion. You have been warned. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Halloween IV (1988) Novelization Oct 05, 2026

Show notes

The Halloweenies keep their favorite October tradition going! Last year, Michael Roffman and Dan Caffrey ventured to the Haddonfield Public Library to read Dennis Etchison/Jack Martin's 1982 novelization for Halloween III: Season of the Witch. This year, they're dusting off Nicholas Grabowsky's 1988 novelization for Halloween IV. Together, they discuss how the book feels more grounded than the film, the aesthetics bleeding off the page, the what-if Easter eggs, and where we go from here.
