Guide to the Unknown

It's a city with such a rich history. There are definitely ghosts there, right? RIGHT! AND a sentient bronze Benjamin Franklin statue that roams the streets. We really gotta be careful out there.

Breathing NEW life into Cagetober, it's GHOST RIDER. Thank god for this corny, bubbly, ridiculous movie. Nicholas Cage feels like his skull is on fire, and for good reason: it is! He's Mephistopheles' bounty hunter, but he's also a kickass motorcycle guy. We're so happy.

WE ARE VAMPIRES! WE ARE VAMPIRES! Cagetober continues with the first "horror" movie Nicholas Cage ever made: a buck wild movie where he thinks he's transforming into a vampire. Is it a thriller? A romance? What exactly is that voice he's doing? Anyway, he eats a bug and does some of the most absolutely wild things imaginable.

The celebrations continue! Way back in episode one of Guide to the Unknown, we tackled one of the most fearsome figures in all of horror and mythology: the Boogeyman!
