Horror movie reviews artfully conducted by four classy broads and one token dude.
31 | The Visit
Director: M. Night Shyamalan
Writer: M. Night Shyamalan
Starring: Olivia DeJong, Ed Oxenbould, Deanna Dunagan
Synopsis: Two kiddos travel to their grandparents' house - whom they've never met before - to visit for a week while their mom takes a cruise with her boyfriend. At first, things seem to go fairly well; just kids getting used to your typical "weird old people" things. However, it isn't long before things begin to go from weird to WTAF.
Next on the menu...Eli Roth's bloody homage to cannibal-related horror, The Green Inferno. So pack a meal, gather your weak-stomached friends, and join us as we digest and dissect this gory flick.
30 | Sinister 2
Sinister 2
Director: Ciarán Foy
Writers: Scott Derrickson, C. Robert Cargill
Starring: Shannyn Sossamon, James Ransone, Robert Daniel Sloan, Dartanian Sloan
Synopsis: Picking up from where Sinister left off, now Ex Deputy So & So is tracking down and destroying all the Bughuul murder houses. But he's stopped short when he learns the next house on his list is already occupied by a woman and her two children. Not one to walk away from a family being harassed by Bughuul and his gang of evil kids, Ex Deputy So & So sticks around to help the family before it becomes too late.
Did you know there's a real-life Bughuul? Well there is and we've found him. Turns out he's been passing himself off as the lead guitarist of Slipknot. Honestly, now that we've seen the almost 100% resemblance, Bughuul is even less frightening and not all that original. I'm not even going to label which is which.
Join us next time as we "celebrate" the return of M. Night Shyamalan by watching his newest movie, The Visit. His track record is pretty spotty so we don't even have a guess as to how this new one is going to turn out. Till next time!
29 | We Are Still Here
We Are Still Here
Director: Ted Geoghegan
Writer: Ted Geoghegan
Starring: Barbara Crampton, Andrew Sensenig, Lisa Marie, Larry Fessenden
Synopsis: A couple moves into an old farm house shortly after the death of their son. Not long after they move in, strange things start to take place, not only in the house but also in the small town they now call "home."

We need your help, listeners! If you like the show, if you think there is something we could do better, if there's a movie you think we should cover, if you love videos of adorable baby animals, we want to know about it!! The best way to get those things to happen is to leave us comments/reviews on iTunes, Stitcher, and our website. Therefore, to sweeten the deal, we are holding a contest for our listeners.

We highly encourage folks to listen and then participate. Not only will you be helping us to improve the show but you'll also be in the running for a Halloween mix CD made, with love, by Amy as well as another horror-related prize (which will remain a mystery for now).
Stay tuned and follow us on Twitter and Facebook for updates about the contest!
We mention the newly released trailer for The Witch in this episode, so we have included it for your viewing pleasure.
Next up on our "To Review" list...Sinister 2. Yet another horror sequel from the powerhouse production company, Blumhouse Productions. Join us as we dive back into the strange world of Bughuul and his continuous obsession with collecting murderous children.

We spend a bit of time at the beginning of this episode discussing three trailers for upcoming movies. Looks like promising stuff! We're including them for your viewing pleasure.
Goodnight Mommy - in theaters September 11, 2015.
Next up, we're looking at a recent "haunted house" movie called, We are Still Here. Check out the trailer and then join us for our discussion!
27 | The Nightmare
The Nightmare
Director: Rodney Ascher
Synopsis: A documentary focused around interviews with eight different individuals, who all suffer from Sleep Paralysis.
If you find the subject of sleep paralysis as fascinating as we do, you should definitely check out this AskReddit thread about it. Also, this may just be a BuzzFeed article, but it explains a helluva lot more about the phenomenon than the movie does.
We're dying to hear your sleep paralysis stories. Leave us a comment down below!
For next time we'll be reviewing What We Do in the Shadows. Another documentary, though this one's a bit less...truthy, and more Flight of the Conchordsy.
26 | Late Phases
Late Phases
Director: Adrian Garcia Bogliano
Writer: Eric Stolze
Starring: Nick Damici, Ethan Embry
Synopsis: Blind Vietnam War veteran, Ambrose, is moved into a retirement community by his son, Ethan Embry. Not long after he moves in, Ambrose notices something strange about Crescent Bay; occupants keep dying grisly deaths and it seems to happen once a month, like clock work. Not one to put up with anyone's shit, let alone a rogue werewolf, Ambrose starts on a mission to take care of the problem once and for all.

For our next trick, we'll be watching The Nightmare, a documentary about sleep paralysis. We're straying away from your standard horror film a bit but we're sure it will be worth it because sleep paralysis is a terrifying concept. It has led to the myths of succubus and incubus, as well as "shadow men." At least one of our trio has experience with sleep paralysis so this should be an interesting and lively discussion!
25 | The Bloodlust Quarterly Review
For our 25th episode, we decided we'd mix it up a little and look back on the movies we've watched thus far. We talk about any rankings we'd like to change and why and we also rank them based on completely arbitrary categories. We have fun.
Next up, we'll be watching Late Phases. This werewolf flick is a refreshing step away from the recent slew of vampire and zombie movies we've been seeing. Plus, if that ain't enough to grab ya, Ethan Embry is in it.
24 | Insidious: Chapter 3
Insidious: Chapter 3
Director: Leigh Whannell
Writer: Leigh Whannell
Stars: Dermot Mulroney, Stefanie Scott, Angus Sampson
Synopsis: Quinn is a young teen, getting ready to graduate and move on to college. However, she is still trying to get over the recent death of her mother and makes multiple attempts to contact her mother, on the other side. When none of her attempts end successfully, she seeks out the assistance of Elise (Lin Shaye), who tells her that after a bad trip (to the further), she has decided to never do it again. Eventually, Quinn takes a turn for the worse and Elise decides to help out and eventually determines that Quinn's soul has been taken by some evil spirit and that she needs to go get it back. Does she succeed?? Listen to the episode and find out.

Since the next episode will be #25 for us, we thought we'd switch things up a little and do a quarterly recap of all the movies we've reviewed thus far. We'll also be ranking them based on fun categories like "hunkiest gent", "best soundtrack", "best animal actor, etc." If you have any suggestions for categories, we'd love to hear 'em and read 'em on the show. Let's talk it out, guys.
23 | The Voices
The Voices
Director: Marjane Satrapi
Writers: Michael R. Perry
Stars: Ryan Reynolds, Anna Kendrick, Gemma Arterton
Synopsis: Adorable, yet, socially awkward Jerry spends his days working at a tub & faucet plant in his hometown, Milton, Somewhere, USA. Jerry's luck starts to change when his boss asks him to help plan an office party. Now Jerry has an opportunity to get closer to his long-time crush, the lovely Fiona. However, after a "date" with Fiona to the world's coolest Chinese restaurant, Shi Shan, goes horribly wrong, we learn that Jerry has some serious inner demons that make his social issues seem like a very minor inconvenience.

It's been a little while but we're going to cover a sequel, next. Actually, it's the third film in the Insidious franchise - Insidious 3: Back to the Further, Bitch. Ok, that isn't what it's called. It's really just, Insidious: Chapter 3. Regardless, that's what we'll be discussing the next time you hear from us. Released on June 5th of this year, this is a film you'll have to travel to the theater to see - but that's a good thing! Support your local movie theaters by seeing their movies and eating their popped corn.
