We start by talking about what we’ve done involving horror recently. Liam talks about reading the newest Jonathan Hickman run of X-Men, and Justin talks about seeing Day Of The Dead, An American Werewolf In London, and Poltergeist  at the Mahoning Drive-In and the films The Boogeyman, Unwelcome, Walking Against The Rain, Dark Nature, Creepypasta, Pearl, Brooklyn 45, She Came From The Woods, Influencer, Jethika, and Mind Body Spirit. Up first is Beyond The Darkness. We start by talking about how the film could’ve been a straight up slasher film but instead chose to lightly pepper supernatural elements in it. We discuss how the film is not a giallo film despite having several elements in common with giallo.
