Horror Movie Weekly Ep. 159: Summoning the Spirit (2023)

Happy belated Valentine’s Day! While it is currently March, Episode 159 of Horror Movie Weekly was recorded on February 14, 2024. Your hosts, Jay of the Dead and Mister Watson, celebrate Valentine’s Day only as they know how: irreverently. Even so, we bring you an interesting Feature Review of an unconventional Bigfoot Horror movie called Summoning the Spirit (2023) (another famous Mister Watson pick)! And of course, you get a Micro Horror Movie Review of “The Hoarder” (2015). During the course of this episode, we realize that there are two different Cody Clarks, and we spend time sorting out the truth about God, Bigfoot and Santa Claus. We have a new voicemail number: [phone]. Join us!

This weekly Horror movie podcast brings you one recent Horror movie review every Sunday. (As noted previously, we’re defining “recent” as any Horror movie released within the last five years or the current year; so now that it’s 2024, we’ll be covering Horror films from 2019 to the present.) And we always reveal next week’s pick at the end of every show, so you can watch along with us and be prepared for the following episode. Join us, and thanks for listening!
