🦅 Released 15 years ago, My Soul to Take was Wes Craven's second to last film, and one that is notoriously maligned. But is it that bad...? Well, you will have to hear what we say about it, because this is one of those movies where the conversation surprised us.

❄️ Just three episodes left for Eddie, so we are wrapping up another long-covered franchise this week. Cult of Chucky was the last feature film in the official Chucky franchise (before he went over to television), and we have some very opposing thoughts on the movie. We also have our franchise rankings, so there's lots of spicy takes to be had in this episode. Also, as always, we've picked out the most loathsome characters from the film, so join us at the end of the episode in voting for whic...

🦖 With this being Eddie's last month co-hosting the podcast, we wanted to finish off one of his favorite franchises that we have been covering... I mean, technically, we haven't covered the remake yet, but The Nightmare on Elm Street franchise would not be complete without Wes Craven's super meta, high concept sequel, which also happens to be the concluding chapter in what we lovingly like to refer to as "The Nancy Trilogy". Also, as always, we've picked out the most loathsome characters from...

🔟 For this month's Patreon's Choice episode, we are sifting through the 21st century (2001-Present) to pick out our top 10 horror movies.

🦃 We love slashers here at The Cherry Picker, and with the holiday right around the corner, we figured it was a good time to visit a newer entry in the genre with Eli Roth's Thanksgiving. In this episode we will discuss the original "Grindhouse" trailer that started it all, and how it evolved into a feature film 16 years later. This is a fun episode, because Thanksgiving is a movie that inspires a lot of debate and forces us to examine what works and doesn't work in a horror film, and how dif...

🛍️ Reaching way back to the early 90s with this one! Before it was a hit television series starring Sarah Michelle Gellar, Buffy was a wacky offbeat movie which was heavily meddled, resulting in a tonally different version which flopped hard, but has since become a cult classic. Join us as we mine the comedy gold, and draw comparisons to what the series would eventually become. Also, as always, we've picked out the most loathsome characters from the film, so join us at the end of the episode ...

📐 The Halloween franchise marathon comes to its conclusion this week with a supersized episode where we will be talking about 2 MOVIES IN 1 with the Theatrical and Producer's Cuts of Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers. We do our best to rationalize the crazy thorn cult stuff. We will also provide our rankings of the Halloween franchise so far (only based on the movies we've covered... which is basically all of them now, except for the Rob Zombie entries).

🍪 Of all the over-hated horror movie sequels known to existence, you won't find another one that we staunchly defend more than Halloween 5! So major TRIGGER WARNING!!! We will be having a good time unpacking all the bad things (that we love so adoringly), as well as all the great things (which are unfairly overlooked). Join us if you love or love to hate this movie. We know it's ridiculously bad, but we still love it. Also, as always, we've picked out the most loathsome characters from the fi...

🚑 Back in 1988, Michael Myers made his long-awaited return to horror cinema after Freddy and Jason dominated the box office for most of the decade. Halloween 4 is a very safe entry in the Halloween franchise, but that doesn't mean it's lacking, and we found a surprisingly endless amount of things to discuss in this week's episode as we continue our Halloween marathon. As always, we've picked out the most loathsome characters from the film, so join us at the end of the episode in voting for wh...
