17. VIDEO STORE DAY: This is the big one. Watch something physically rented or bought from an actual video store.

Every year, the duo shares a powerful magical […]
16. STAPH ONLY: Why doesn’t anyone read the warning signs at the biology lab anymore? Frank Henenlotter gave us the slimy, basket-bound horror of Basket Case, the brain-draining, syringe-addicted delirium of Brain Damage and the neon-soaked, reanimated streetwalker majesty of Frankenhooker. He went radio silent for eighteen years after 1991’s Basket Case 3 until Bad […]
