The Tommyknockers is one of Stephen King's more bizarre books and is widely regarded as a bad one. The miniseries suffers from the same reputation. A sleepless night led me to a re-read of the book and took me down a rabbit trail exploring why this story has a bad reputation, and why I enjoy it in spite of that.

SAW was a game changer for horror, inspiring a new sub genre and spawning a 10-film franchise.

In this episode, I'm discussing my personal history with the film, including my time on the Disney College Program and how a sold out emo show led me to a life-changing viewing of James Wan's SAW in 2005.

I'm joined once again by Jacqueline from A Cut Above for a women in horror month special! We're chatting about the weirdness of LA, dealing with death, awkward gatherings, and the impactful ending in Karyn Kusama's The Invitation.
