    Opening Kill Episode 42: Ghost Ship
    Nov 20 2025

    Episode 42: Ghost Ship (2002) ⚓👻 All aboard the Antonia Graza! This week we’re diving into the early-2000s supernatural cult classic Ghost Ship, famous for one of the most shocking opening scenes in horror history. We break down the plot, the grisly mysteries hiding below deck, and whether this haunted vessel still floats after all these years.

    Plus, we decide if the Opening Kill deserves the coveted Butcher Knife 🔪 or if it sinks with the Dreaded Butter Knife 🧈.

    Hop on deck, grab your life vest, and get ready—because this ship is definitely not OSHA compliant.
