Pop Culture Weekly doubles up with horror thrills and historical legends! First, Kyle McMahon kicks off spooky season with
Night of the Reaper - a slick, 80s-vibed Shudder original - chatting with star
Summer H. Howell (Chucky, the new
Carrie) and writer-director
Brandon Christensen about crafting a killer babysitter prologue, Pat Benatar dance breaks, and why scares land harder when the heart shows up first.
Then we trade pumpkins for pistols as
Tom Blyth and
Daniel Webber ride in to unpack the triumphant, emotional final season of
Billy the Kid on MGM+: brotherhood, rivalries, and filming like a true Western—horses, mountains, and all. Plus, Kyle celebrates his debut book
31 Days of Horror: Pop Culture Weekly’s Killer Guide to Surviving the 31 Day Horror Movie Challenge (it hit #7 on Amazon’s Horror charts!) and dares you to join the movie-a-night challenge.
In this episode:- Summer H. Howell on embracing the “scream queen” crown - and that surprise dance scene
- Brandon Christensen on building 80s authenticity on an indie budget
- The Halloween-tradition vibe they hope Night of the Reaper earns
- Tom Blyth & Daniel Webber on closing the book with a big, cinematic Western finale
- Why Billy the Kid’s themes of resistance and humanity hit right now
