Aww Yeah!! Today we venture deep into the dark Scandinavian wilderness to explore 2017's The Ritual, the chilling folk-horror film that transforms grief, guilt, and friendship into something truly terrifying. We break down the story of four friends whose hiking trip through a remote forest becomes a nightmare filled with unsettling symbols, ancient legends, and an unseen presence stalking them from the shadows. Join Alec and Guests Stevie Caruso & Mike Molino as we discuss the film’s atmospheric tension, its exploration of trauma and survivor’s guilt, and the unique blend of psychological horror and Norse mythology that sets it apart from conventional monster movies. We’ll also examine the creature design, the film’s haunting visuals, and why The Ritual has become a modern cult favorite among horror fans.

First of all - Erik and Alec would never climb this rust-bucket. But in the movie Fall - two other best friends climb a 2,000-foot abandoned radio tower for thrill and closure — BUT!!! when the ladder collapses, they’re stranded above the desert with no way down. What follows is a slow-burn nightmare of vertigo, dehydration, and psychological terror, where the real horror isn’t what’s coming for them… it’s the endless drop beneath their feet. Join Erik, Alec, and guest, Greg Lawless on this fun ride of a podcast!

Michael Myers is back… again.....again but this time, he’s live on the internet. Today we dive headfirst into Halloween: Resurrection, the controversial sequel that resurrects the franchise by trapping a group of realityTV contestants inside the Myers house for a night of “fun” that quickly turns fatal. We break down the wild early-2000s energy, the found-footage vibes before they were cool, and the ridiculous opening scene. From Busta Rhymes’ unforgettable kung-fu showdown with Michael, to the film’s attempt to modernize horror through webcams and live streams, we ask the big question: misunderstood experiment or franchise low point? Join us as we explore the kills, the chaos, the lore whiplash, and why Halloween: Resurrection still sparks arguments among horror fans more than 20 years later. Love it or hate it Michael Myers never stays dead.TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@wheel.of.horror7?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@wheelofhorrorpodcast1802/videos Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/wheel-of-horror/id1534102813 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3HnyAISG8Z8hvMFdSG60tE?si=9b785cf21c7f46a3 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wheel_of_horror/ Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/HorrorWheel
