This week we're grabbing our video cameras and heading into the woods of Burkittsville for the groundbreaking found-footage horror film, The Blair Witch Project!
We'll talk about how this low-budget 1999 chiller terrified a generation, the genius of its minimalist marketing, and the sheer, raw panic of watching three film students slowly lose their grip in the face of an unseen terror. Get ready for close-ups, snot, and terrifying sounds in the dark.
And to steady our nerves before that infamous ending, we're mixing up The Black Eyed Stickman, a chilling cocktail riff from our friends at Geeks Who Eat! This drink features a potent blend of Vodka and Bourbon shaken with Lemon Juice, St. Germain, and a dash of Simple Syrup and bitters. It's a complex, boozy mix that's as disorienting as a night lost in the woods
So, settle in, dim the lights, and try not to think about that terrifying corner as we raise a glass to The Blair Witch Project!

This week on we're opening the Lament Configuration and stepping into a world of pain and pleasure with Clive Barker's iconic 1987 horror film, Hellraiser! We'll explore the dark and disturbing story of Frank Cotton, the cenobites led by the unforgettable Pinhead, and the truly unique blend of body horror and forbidden desires that makes this movie a true original.

And to properly summon the experience, we're mixing up a cocktail we call The Hellraiser. This drink features a spine-tingling trio of botanical gin, the bittersweet sting of Aperol, and a surprising, seductive kick from pepper syrup.
