Horror Cliches: The Good, The Bad & The Ugly | Episode 38 | The Dreadcast

How many can you think of? Horror is THE movie genre that fully utilizes its plethora of cliches and tropes over and over again! Overly done for the most part but if executed in the right context, they can work tremendously. This week, Tom and Aidan run down their lists of some of the most notorious.

Valentine (2001) | Episode 35 | The Dreadcast

Happy Valentines Day one and all! And what better way to celebrate this ridiculous day than by watching an early 2000's mediocre slasher that is plucked straight 'from the era'. The Nu Metal slasher! Tom and Aidan do their best to find a shred of excitment from this Valentines theme massacre, but come away from their review with the possibility of some fancy merchandise to help the balance of love.
