Halloweenies: A Horror Franchise Podcast

The Halloweenies hitch a ride out to the small town of Abaddon in Upstate New York to check out this totally killer haunted house that's opening: Hell House LLC. Join Michael Roffman, Justin Gerber, and Rachel Reeves as they discuss director Stephen Cognetti's found footage gem that has since spawned multiple sequels and spinoffs. But, as with anything, nothing is ever quite as good as the original. Note: This episode was originally released to our patrons in October 2025. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Halloweenies, you're in for a special treat: Filmmaker Joshua Bailey joins the show to discuss his incredible new documentary Stolen Kingdom, which delves into the history of mischief, scandal, and theft at Walt Disney World. Perhaps you remember the whole kerfuffle involving the disappearance of Buzzy? No? Even better. Like every great doc, this starts from Point A and gets to Point Z in the most curious and fulfilling ways. So, while not horror per se, we're pretty passionate about this one.

It's 2127 and the Halloweenies awaken on board The Minos, where Dr. Paul Merchant instructs them to watch 1996's Hellraiser: Bloodline. It's here -- Hell Priest in Space -- and the gang finds plenty of gravitas in the franchise's fourth entry. Together, they discuss how the film was massacred behind the scenes, the appeal of Adam Scott, dream castings for the Toymaker, and whether or not Doug Bradley has scaled back on becoming Freddy Krueger.
