Not all trilogies are connected by characters or plot… some are bound by ideas, tone, and the twisted brilliance of their creators. John Carpenter’s #ApocalypseTrilogy is a masterclass in cosmic dread and unraveling sanity. Which thematic trilogy do you love? 📺 #thematictrilogies

#PrinceofDarkness, the forgotten gem in #JohnCarpenter’s apocalypse trilogy, is honestly one of his creepiest ideas: a swirling green cylinder in a church basement that may house the ultimate evil which can’t be contained. It’s grim, weird, & smarter than its slime-covered exterior suggests. 📺

There’s something uniquely thrilling about #Lovecraftian horror. Whether it’s the atmospheric dread of The Color Out of Space, the reality-bending madness of #IntheMouthofMadness, or the creeping paranoia in The Void, these stories remind us that some mysteries were never meant to be solved. 📺

John Carpenter’s #IntheMouthofMadness blended Lovecraftian cosmic dread, reality-slipping madness, and meta-horror long before it became trendy. Sam Neill absolutely sells the descent into paranoia, as he slowly realizes the line fiction and reality is tearing open. Would you read Sutter Cane? 📺

Do you read Sutter Cane? In this episode the guys unravel the film’s blend of psychological horror & cosmic dread, with its nods to Lovecraftian mythology & Stephen King’s small town terrors, that explores the nature of fear, the power of fiction, and the possibility that stories can become real. 📺

If there’s one film that embodies the spirit of Halloween, it’s #TrickrTreat. From smashed pumpkins and secret serial killers to werewolf transformations, each story ties together in a brilliantly twisted knot, all watched over by Sam, who makes sure nobody forgets the old traditions. 📺

#HalloweenEnds dares to end the story on its own terms, exploring grief, trauma, & what evil means when it refuses to die. Love it or hate it, this finale sparked debate among fans as a bold, unexpected ending to one of horror’s greatest legacies. Was this a fitting end for these characters? 📺

#JamieLeeCurtis’ feature film debut came with the role of #LaurieStrode in #Halloween, which she followed up with a string of horror films. But she has had a career outside the genre before returning for one final showdown with #MichaelMyers. Does that make her the ultimate scream queen? 📺
