For our last regular episode of the year, Lance is taking us down a true crime path with a different adaptation of the life of Henry Lee Lucas in 1985's Confessions of a Serial Killer. If you've seen Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer, this will be familiar territory for you, but a standout performance from Robert A. Burns definitely makes this worth a watch.

We're bringing the heat during winter with the desert slasher, Mirage. A truly independent and unsung horror movie, this has only seen a video release in the UK, which is a shame because it has great characters and gore along with its unique setting. Hear our thoughts about this forgotten gem as well as our double feature picks to go with it. Enjoy the show? Consider leaving us a rating/review on Apple or Podchaser. Or better yet, tell a friend!

In this special bonus episode, we're going through our picks in 31 different film categories from our annual Horror Gives Back charity challenge, this year benefiting The Trevor Project.

This month we're breaking our "fewer than 1000 views on Letterboxd" rule to bring you a couple of our favorites. Erica's pick is a Spanish horror movie about killer kids from a director who seems to really like kids and has an odd way of showing it. We'll discuss the impact of the archival footage at the beginning of the film, effective daylight horror, and, of course, child death.

This week we're doing something a little different as we are joined by writer Joe Augustyn, screenwriter of Night Angel and creator of the Night of the Demons franchise. We'll also discuss his latest book, Ghostwriter, and his related experiences of the paranormal. Episode correction: Joe messaged us after recording to let us know that Steve Johnson (SFX) worked with Rick Baker, not Dick Smith.

We're conjuring up a demon this week and using our best satanic karate skills to fight off the bewilderment of 1977's The Demon Lover. And in a rare instance, we've only got one double feature pick to go with this movie, because it's the only correct answer.
