The Strickfield Slasher: A Cursed VHS Brings a Forgotten Killer to Life Oct 10, 2024

Show notes

A rare VHS copy of “The Strickfield Slasher” looks like the perfect Halloween movie-night discovery. Its history leads back to a 1971 student production at Grimm Manor—and an actor who took his role much too far. When Briana and her friends press play, the danger refuses to stay inside the screen. Rob Fields’s haunted-media horror story turns a lost slasher film into a threat to its new audience. The tape may be old, but the cleaver-wielding figure on it has unfinished business with anyone willing to watch.

Show notes

A vampire cannot turn someone without hearing “yes.” For 227-year-old Victor, that rule becomes painfully complicated when his young progeny Shannon forms a friendship with a human child in Langley, South Carolina. The connection draws a family into the path of a predatory vampire brood. Charles Campbell’s “The Final Yes” is a feature-length Southern horror story about hunger, responsibility and the difference between making a vampire and protecting a child. Every promise matters when a single answer can change a life forever.
