005: We Watched Hocus Pocus and...

All scary movies/horror movies have certain cliches that everyone knows. Today, we’re sharing the most memorable ones for us. We also recently watched the original Halloween movie from 1978 (and the remakes) and we’re sharing what we think of it and why you should watch it on Halloween.

Oh! And we also talk about what we think of Disney’s cult classic, Hocus Pocus. Is it worth watching it? (Jake doesn’t think so!)

HIGHLIGHTS FROM THIS WEEK’S SHOW:

• Some common horror/slasher movie cliches:
• • Leaving a vehicle with a running engine to get away
