The Last Broadcast (1998)

The Strangers (2008)
Marcus was already afraid of home invasions so The Strangers (2008) certainly didn't help things. He just hopes he'd be smarter than some of the characters in this movie.

WNUF Halloween Special (2013)

The McPherson Tape (1989)
The McPherson Tape almost never saw the light of day. After the master was destroyed in a fire, rare VHS copies made their way to a UFO convention and were touted as real alien footage. Years later, the movie is finally presented as intended via Blu-Ray. How does this early found footage horror film hold up?

Most horror fans have seen The Exorcist, and some even watched Exorcist II: The Heretic. But author William Peter Blatty rewrote the film cannon with The Exorcist III and pretended 2 never existed. So, how does this film stack up?

Unfriended (2014)
When Marcus first heard of Unfriended (2014) he thought it was about someone murdering people who unfriended them on Facebook. The true storyline is similarly awkward, but might actually be worth a watch.

The Candy Snatchers (1973) makes Marcus question whether the horror genre requires anything more than people being utterly terrifying to one another.
