Retro Halloween Weekend | A Haunted Drive-In Shows the Wrong Movie Oct 06, 2021

Show notes

A Halloween movie marathon becomes personal in Rob Fields’ “Retro Halloween Weekend.” Destiny Mirren and Sienna Michaels head to a Strickfield drive-in with a plan to steal the event’s money. The theater they find seems oddly deserted, and its secret lineup of old horror movies is disappointing—until a feature begins mirroring their own lives. This haunted-cinema story turns teenage mischief into a frightening question about who controls the screen. The next scene may explain why they were brought here.

A Night of Hot Wax | Haunted Records and an Occult Recording Session Aug 25, 2021

Show notes

A hidden record collection leads a young violinist toward an abandoned factory in John Oak Dalton’s “A Night of Hot Wax.” Etheridge takes a summer job cleaning Old Man Baldwin’s garage, where music is strictly forbidden. The rule makes little sense until Baldwin recounts an orchestra’s late-night recording session, a robed visitor and sheet music that changed everything. This coming-of-age occult horror story follows musical ambition into a place the town left behind. Some performances should never be repeated.

Normal Shit | A Flower Delivery Job During the Zombie Apocalypse Aug 18, 2021

Show notes

The zombie apocalypse is no excuse to miss a delivery in Michelle Adler’s “Normal Shit.” Felix still reports to a flower shop while the city falls apart, treating severed limbs and empty streets as workday obstacles. A bicycle route brings barricades, infected customers and mounting injuries, but disappointing a client feels almost as frightening. This dark horror comedy follows a dependable worker trying to keep a routine when nothing is normal.
