Cole's 31 Days of Halloween Movies – Part 1 – E160

A new year, a new October, and another 31 Days of Halloween Movies with our longtime friend of the pod and magazine, Cole Wissinger. We start with a little David Lynch on a train, discuss Cole’s love of the Saw franchise and its second entry, and cover Ryan Coogler’s 2025 ‘surprise hit,’ if an award-winning and box-office-smashing director can still have one of those.

Check out our show notes where we’ve linked each movie, and where to stream it.

If you’re a fan of Cole and his watchlist, follow him on Letterboxd or X/Twitter, where you’ll find more of his hot takes, staunchly defended classics, and inspirations.

We hope you enjoy today’s episode, be sure to share it with any fans of horror, Halloween, or spooky movies, and we’ll be back every Friday this month with more from Cole.
