Watch WHAT now?

"Would you listen to me? These are NOT ghosts. This house is NOT haunted, it's possessed!"

It's Spooky Season and what better way to celebrate than with a Halloween party? There will be music, drinks, games, and even a demon or two. The only question that needs to be asked is "will you survive the night?"

Night of the Demons is a cult classic in the horror community. However, Eric doesn't remember being a fan of the film and naturally, Melissa's never seen it. Time to find out if it's worth the hype. Is Angela as cool of a horror villain as her reputation seems? Are the practical effects as great as people say? Is the third time the charm for Eric when all is said and done?

Stock up on supplies from the local convenience store, dress up in your costumes, apply your lipstick anyway you see fit, and get ready for the party of the year...maybe. That's for us to decide.

“I do love a good joke and this is the best ever: a joke on the children.”

Halloween was a sleeper hit in 1978 and by 1981, John Carpenter was drinking a six pack of beer a night while writing the script to a sequel that he thought was totally unnecessary. That script ended up being Halloween II and those nightly six packs of beer ended up being the reason Michael Myers and Laurie Strode were brother and sister. Carpenter also made sure to kill off both Michael and Dr. Loomis.

Enter 1982 where Halloween creators Carpenter and Debra Hill didn’t want Michel to return and hoped to create a yearly anthology type series of movies that focused more on Halloween itself and not the man in the William Shatner mask…and boy were people pissed.

Oh boy. Join us as we return to the Halloween franchise but without any returning characters. Instead of the silent man with the kitchen knife stalking babysitters, we got a warlock planning on using Halloween masks to kill all the children in the world. Yes, seriously. That’s the plot.Robots, insects, Stonehenge, and a VERY annoying TV commercial jingle.

Melissa has no idea what she’s in for.

"No footprints! No blood! No sign of a struggle! The bones just stripped clean like peeling a banana!"

If we’ve learned anything from 1950s sci-fi movies, it’s that radiation and science is bad when multi-legged creatures are involved. We also the Arizona desert can be dangerous enough on its own, but when a well intentioned professor causes a tarantula to grow to immense size, all hell can break loose.

Nothing is safe from this over-sized arachnid and it’s up to the local doctor, a lab assistant, and Clint Eastwood (yes, THAT Clint Eastwood) to save the town from being devoured.

Join us for Episode 26 as we try to decipher all the scientific jargon told to us in the film as well as see how this popular “Big Bug” movie really sizes up. We’ll do our best to strip this movie clean like a banana and keep you all entertained in the process. Hopefully you won't feel like you’re painfully mutating into someone with Acromegaly while that happens.

And whatever you do, please don’t stick your finger in some random white goo you find in a field and taste it. That’s just nasty.

"You see that crap? All that horror crap? Things coming out of crates and eating people? Dead people coming back to life? People turning into weeds, for Christ's sake?"

Welcome to the 25th episode of Watch WHAT, now?, the podcast that talks about the good, the bad, and everything in between. It’s also been Melissa’s journey as a horror newbie into that genre. It must have been fate at the end of our last episode when Melissa chose “cockroaches” over “spiders” because we needed a big name for episode 25 and with her choice, we got two.

Stephen King and George A. Romero joined forces to bring Creepshow out into the world.Inspired by the EC horror comics of the 1950s, King and Romero wanted to bring both the scary and cheesy elements of the source material, yet keep that comic book look and feel. And that they did. From zombies wanting revenge and “meteor shit” covering all things with vegetation to monsters in crates and roach infestations.

This anthology is considered to be one of the most entertaining creations from both artists and we’re going to discuss if we think that is a valid claim. We’ll also discuss other subjects as well: How is Leslie Nielsen as a villain compared to his well known lovable idiot characters? Does the comic book look distract from the stories? Is Stephen King the perfect bumpkin? And most importantly, will Wilma cause Fluffy to get indigestion?

So slice yourself a piece of cake and help us celebrate 25 episodes. Make sure to have a bottle of bug spray handy as well. You never know when you’ll need it. Just no voodoo dolls, please. They're a pain in the neck.

"But one thing's for sure. Inspector Clay is dead, murdered, and somebody is responsible."

How do we follow up Ep. 23 where we nearly gave Evil Dead 2 a perfect combined score? By discussing a movie from someone known as "The worst director of all time," and that director was known as Ed Wood. With a budget of only $60,000 and some use of military stock footage, this "worst movie ever" has grown in popularity after decades of midnight matinee showings as well as often being the subject of local low budget horror and sci-fi shows.

There's so much to unpack with this one and it's notoriety. It's known as Bela Lugosi's last movie, even though his footage was from a previously unfinished Ed Wood film. Vampira hated her character's dialogue so much that she refused to say anything. There's boom mic shadows, visible scripts, and shaky flying saucers, but at least it has a very relevant message.

So join us as we step through the constantly reused curtains and try to answer some questions: Is this truly one of the worst films ever? Are the resurrected dead zombies, ghouls, or vampires? Does its hour and fifteen minute run time feel like days? Was Melissa wrong when she said this sounded like fun? We'll find out in Ep. 24 just how "Stupid...stupid" this movie really is. God help us in the future.
