Annual 31 Days of Halloween Watch List- Episode 191

Posted on by

It’s that time of the season we all find so pleasin’ – Horrotober! No matter what has happened during the past 13 years of podding Monster Men, we always manage to brush the dust off for Halloween. And for the past, we’ll say 6 years, we’ve played the 31 Days of Halloween game to curate a Horrortober watch list based solely on chance.

This year is no exception. Thank to Jack’s pre-rolling before the camera rolls, the episode isn’t longer than a Mike Flanagan miniseries.

We invite you to watch along and even if you’re not going to use this list as your Bible for the spooky season, you may find some flicks to add to your watch list that you haven’t thought about in a long while…or ever.

What are some of the movies that you think you’ll seek out? Reply to this post and you just may win something for Horrortober!

21st Century Horror

Posted on by

The Monster Men, creatures of the 20th century (or maybe older!), have emerged from our crypts in an abandoned cemetery somewhere close to a bigfoot hunting ground so we can yak about our favorite movies of the 21st century. We each came up of a list of our top 13 flicks of the oughts and beyond, along with some honorable mentions.

Are these definitive lists? Was Hunter even properly prepared for the discussion? Hell no! It’s even mentioned on the show that these lists will be slightly different depending on the day we’re asked.

The big question is, what do you think of our picks? What did we miss out on? What movies did we select that you would have tossed?

If anything, maybe this will get you to revisit old favorites or discover something new. Either way, grab a drink, hit PLAY and settle back with the grizzled vets of the horror minefield.

Bon Appetit, boys and ghouls! In keeping with our tradition of celebrating Halloween with a Pumpkin Ale episode, we present our Halloween Extravaganza. This year we are pair an odd assortment of October themed alcoholic drinks with an equally quirky array of Fall flavored foods. All while we pair an lesser known horror movie with an old favorite.

Some things on the menu include pumpkin whisky & soda, toasted marshmallow seltzer, pumpkin pasta, Halloween Peeps and Monster Mash cereal.

You may call it Octoberfest, but around here we call it Horrortoberfest.
