”So, It’s Our Job To Observe The Rules Of The Sequel.” - The 2024 ”Tis the Podcast” Ultimate Horror Movie Bracket

Happy Monday, Christmas fanatics! 

We were going to wait to drop this episode until midway through October, but since life got in the way this week and we didn't get around to recording our episode on "The Addams Family" - and given the fact this episode is six-and-a-half episodes - we decided to drop this Spooky Season treat now so you have time to listen to it in full before Halloween! 

You've heard us refer to it a few times already in other episodes, but it's finally here: The 2024 "Tis the Podcast" Ultimate Horror Movie Bracket!

In this special episode, which is becoming an annual tradition, Anthony is joined by a whole slew of special guests and self-labeled horror aficionados to determine the best horror movie amongst those listed on this year's bracket, March Madness style! The guests include:

• Ron Hogan and Lindsey Grelis of "Film Strip Podcast" 
• Kendal Farrae of "Two Girls One Crypt" 
• Matt Spaulding of "North Pole Radio"

Listen as they debate and argue in real time to determine which horror movies advance through this NCAA-esque scary movie bracket as iconic films are pitted against one another in four different "divisions" for a chance to be named the best horror movie!

• Are Horror-comedies scary enough to go far?
• Will Art the Clown or Jigsaw best the other?
• Does Ghostface stand a chance against Michael Myers in the battle of the Legacy Sequels?
• Can The Warrens make it all the way again?
• Is "Lisa Frankenstein" too quirky to defeat "Jennifer's Body"?
• Is Pearl a scarier psychopath than little "Orphan" Esther?
• Do the Predators or the Xenomorphs star in the better prequel film?
• Will Zombies or Deadites reign supreme in the battle of the remakes?
• Which found footage franchise will go furthest this year?
• Is Annabelle or The Nun the scarier monster to get its own spinoff in "The Conjuring"-verse? 

All of these questions and much, much more are answered in this extraordinarily fun episode full of quotes, impressions, trivia, nostalgia, serenading, and laughs. This is one you definitely do not want to miss - even if it'll take you a few sittings to finish it given its length. (That's What She Said.) But that's what happens when you get a bunch of scary movie buffs onto a recording together - there's a lot of passionate gushing and vigorous debate going on here in an episode that took three recordings and a lot of blood, sweat, and tears to finish, which is why we've decided once again to drop this in your main feed instead of on Patreon.

So settle in with your Pumpkin Spice Lattes, relax, and enjoy! And make sure to let us known on social media what your hosts got right, what they got wrong, and which horror movie you think should have come out on top this year!

As always, thanks for your love and support, y'all! ❤️ 🍂 🎃👻🎅🏻🎄🎁 🦌🦉⛄️🔔🚂 🤶🏻 🎀 ❄️
