Messed Up Movies

Jen and Sylvia Soska are a Messed Up filmmaking duo that are not to be messed with! These twisted twin sisters splashed onto the indie filmmaking scene with their homage to American Psycho - American Mary - and have been on a mission to conquer Hollywood ever since.
Their energy is infectious and their stories about their experience in Hollywood is unforgettable. They kicked off Days of the Dead in Indianapolis 2026 by telling Griffey how they went from background actors to remaking a Cronenberg classic and meeting their idols.

In this episode, we discuss what makes this version so devisive amongst fans of the series, what it might have gotten wrong about the Deadites, how it compares to prior entries, and what makes Evil Dead an enduring horror property.

There's ALWAYS more to the story, especially in horror. This is the genre that popularized sequels like no other - so which are the best? There's really one answer here and that's James Cameron's Aliens. But since that title has been drafted too many times it's off the board and we had to get creative! Luckily, there are still plenty of #2's that equal and even best the original.
Combatants Griffey, Dandino, Heath and Sophia are back for battle. Who drafted the ultimate list of direct sequels? Does it include Scream 2 - the meta commentary on horror sequels? How about another Cameron classic Terminator 2? There's no-brainers like Evil Dead 2, Hellraiser 2 and Final Destination 2. Or perhaps you're into something more adventurous like the body-horror terror that is The Santa Clause 2.
Whichever sequels you like best, we've got so many you should listen to this episode twice! Let us know who won this draft in the comments and visit our Instagram to vote on our poll.
