Spooky Movie Month continues and this week, Lauren and Karen are talking all about urban legends. What is urban horror and why do urban legends lead to such great horror stories? We’re diving into some of the history of the subgenre with a closer look at three in particular:

  • The Lost Boys (1987) – Directed by Joel Shoemaker
    Streaming on Max, and available to rent
  • Candyman (1992) – Directed by Bernard Rose
    Streaming on Peacock, AMC+, available to rent
  • Urban Legend (1998) – Directed by Jamie Blanks
    Streaming on Tubi and Pluto TV, available to rent

We also have a weekly check-in on our favorite gay pirates in Our Flag Means Death. The new season is streaming this month on Max.
