Heather Johnson Yu — Thu, 15 Oct 2026 21:51:19 +0000

It’s Cinemassacre’s Monster Madness XX: Trick or Treat! This year I’m covering movies that take place on Halloween. Haunt Season (2024) is a recent slasher from director Jake Jarvi. A masked killer starts murdering the cast of a Halloween haunt attraction, turning their staged fake injuries into the real thing and building toward a Halloween night massacre. It’s a low-budget indie that leans hard into the haunt-season vibe. Let’s take a look.

Night of the Demons (1988) – Monster Madness XX

Heather Johnson Yu — Mon, 12 Oct 2026 18:26:00 +0000

It’s Cinemassacre’s Monster Madness XX: Trick or Treat! This year I’m covering movies that take place on Halloween. Night of the Demons (1988) is a cult 80s favorite from director Kevin Tenney. A group of teenagers throw a Halloween party at Hull House, an abandoned funeral home, and hold a séance that wakes up a demon. One by one, the partygoers get possessed. It’s loaded with practical effects, scream queen Linnea Quigley, and Halloween atmosphere. Let’s take a look.

James Rolfe and the crew head deep into Texas to visit the REAL locations from The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974). They visit the gas station, Bagdad Cemetery, the original location of the Sawyer house, and the actual house that was moved to Kingsland and turned into Hooper’s Restaurant. Along the way, James matches shots from the movie, digs into the history of each location, and tracks down some of the lesser-known details behind one of the most iconic horror movies ever made.

Terrifier 1 and 2 (2016 & 2022) – Monster Madness XX

It’s Cinemassacre’s Monster Madness XX: Trick or Treat! (That’s XX for 20 years.) This year I’m covering movies that take place on Halloween, and I’m kicking things off with one of the most brutal series in modern horror. Terrifier (2016) follows Art the Clown as he stalks his victims through Miles County on Halloween night, butchering anyone who gets in his way. Terrifier 2 (2022) picks up a year later, with Art resurrected by a sinister entity and hunting teenager Sienna and her younger brother on Halloween. Director Damien Leone made these on tiny budgets, and Terrifier 2 became infamous for reports of people fainting and throwing up in theaters. Here’s what I thought.

In 2008, the Angry Video Game Nerd and the Nostalgia Critic went to war. The battle came to a head at Digital Press Video Games, with Captain S caught in the crossfire. This is the real story.
