Historical Horror Draft

Nosferatu. Prey. The Devils. The Lighthouse. We're drafting the best historical horror and messed-up period movies into competing four-film festivals. Unfortunately, our grasp of history may be the scariest thing here. Griffey, Heath, Sam and Sophia battle over gothic nightmares, religious fanaticism, brutal revenge and whether Poor Things even belongs in the draft. Picks get rejected, favorites get stolen, and Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter somehow becomes a serious electoral strategy. Along the way, we debate Robert Eggers' command of period horror, revisit the madness of Ken Russell's The Devils, argue about Sweeney Todd and stretch the category with Django Unchained. Then the final swaps put everyone's lineup back in play. Who built the festival you'd actually buy a ticket for? Vote for Griffey, Heath, Sam or Sophia in the comments, and tell us which movie we missed. Spoilers for several films discussed. Recorded before our Fantastic Fest trip, so the premiere announcements in this episode refer to our September 22 screening.
