Tonight, we’re summoning something dark.

Night 10: LAMB (2021) – Folk Horror or Farm Drama? | 13 Nights of Halloween
It’s Night 10 of 13 Nights of Halloween, and we’re heading to the eerie, windswept fields of Iceland for one of the strangest entries in modern folk horror: Lamb (2021). Directed by Valdimar Jóhannsson and starring Noomi Rapace, this slow-burn A24 film blends rural isolation, ancient superstition, and deep emotional grief—with a sheep-headed child at the center of it all. Is it horror? Is it a tragedy? Is it just really, really boring? We’re diving in. Join Tim and Johnathan as they discuss the production, symbolism, awards buzz, and why Lamb has become one of the most polarizing...

Tonight we’re digging into Antrum: The Deadliest Film Ever Made (2018) — a film wrapped in urban legend and cursed cinema mythology. Marketed as a “lost” 1970s film that supposedly killed its audiences, Antrum leans on its reputation as the “most dangerous movie ever made.” But does it actually deliver the scares, or is it all smoke, sigils, and no fire? We break down the setup, the Blair Witch–style marketing, and why the idea of Antrum is scarier than the film itself. Folk horror thrives on myth, ritual, and rumor — and Antrum wants to live there.

Released at the tail end of #2023 this movie left nobody feeling that special #christmas #joy. What it did do however, was get people talking. This movie discusses some really heavy subjects including #death and #suicide. At its core is a moving story of breaking #generationalcurses wrapped up in a #wrestling movie.There are lessons to be learned here, about parents living vicariously through their children. Putting pressure on your #children to be what you want them to be and not what they want to be and the kind of emotional damage possible when pushing too hard.
