They unravel how the new setting and story breathes new life into the rich mythology of Hell House, the terrifying new heights that the fear hits in this sequel, and discuss how much new life could pour out of this franchise's Hell Mouth. It is rare for a horror franchise to make it's Messed Up Masterpiece in the fouth entry, but that is exacty what Hell House LLC achieved.

Today Griffey and Dandino attempt to close the Gates of Hell in Hell House LLC III : Lake of Fire. They dip their toes into the ever expanding mythology and discuss if the franchise is getting to dense, the use of dinner theater and a benevolent billionaire as our new narrative focal point, and what the addition of a suddenly helpful God and company means to the overall story. Lake of Fire is an odd medley of Hell House goods and bads, but still scratches that Messed Up itch you don't get anywhere else. 
Synopsis: The Abaddon Hotel will once again be open to the public. Russell Wynn has taken his audience-interactive show, Insomnia, into the abandoned hotel that is rumored to be haunted.
Starring: Gabriel Chytry, Elizabeth Vermilyea, Sam Kazzi

They uncover how the film deepens the mythology of the Abaddon Hotel and it's Satanic Cult, how the movie finds even more terrifying examples of the Hotel's nightmarish powers, and how much mileage a Morning Show provides for a horror sequel.

Robert Pattinson asks us to have a seat, but should you? This New Movie Monday, Griffey, Heath and Sam discuss Lance Oppenheim's stylish satire and the messy relationship between justice, exploitation and ratings.
We dig into Pattinson's larger-than-life performance, why Decoy Dan became the character we wanted more of, and whether the movie's moral ambiguity gives us something to wrestle with or leaves its strongest ideas unexplored. Heath finds more beneath the surface on a second viewing, Griffey wants the film to dig deeper, and Sam struggles to get invested at all.
Drawing on our own experience working in television, we also discuss what happens when someone else's worst moment becomes a producer's best footage. When does exposing wrongdoing become entertainment, and does Primetime push that question far enough?
Full spoilers throughout.
Did Primetime work for you? Tell us what you made of Pattinson's performance and the ending in the comments.

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.
