    Ring 1998 Film VS Book
    Jun 26 2025

    What's scarier than a haunted videotape? Having to REWIND a haunted videotape! gasp😱😨 This week we're starting our RING series, covering both the 1998 Japanese film and the novel written by Koji Suzuki. What became one of Japan's biggest horror franchises, and sparked a trend of American remakes, this film has a legacy that spans decades. Is there an irony in replicating the same piece of media when the book/movie explicitly says not to? Probably!

    Join us in two weeks for PART TWO of our Ring series where we cover The Ring (2002), and if you want us to look into any of the weird sequels, let us know!

    Clown in a Cornfield Film VS Book
    Jun 12 2025

    Tessa's magnum opus... Clown in a Cornfield 🤡🩸🔪 In this episode, we take a look at the new film based on Adam Cesare's YA novel! As a film, its a fun teen slasher that'll be perfect for summer! As an adaptation of one of Tessa's fav horror novels... it leaves much to be desired.

    Fear Street: Prom Queen Film VS Book
    May 29 2025

    Whaaat?! A slasher movie set in the 80's?? That's crazy and never been done before! In this episode, we compare the latest addition to the Fear Street franchise with the book its loosely adapted from, written by R.L. Stine. And I mean veryyy loosely adapted.
