Fearbaiting

This week, Lavender joins us to take a break from horror movies to argue semantics about whether or not Robert Rodriguez’s From Dusk Till Dawn , is actually a horror movie?

As we grow nearer to the Hallowed day of Ween, the boundary between the spectral world and the human becomes weaker.
