The Final Ghouls are back and going back to the prom as we tackle the 1972 classic Carrie ahead of its 50th anniversary -- and just as the new Mike Flanagan series arrives! Holly, Jeremy and L discuss Brian DePalma's adaptation of the Stephen King novel starring Sissy Spacek as the titular character and a terrifying Piper Laurie as her mother.

Get Ready For: Our experience levels with Stephen King's work, Jeremy and L's love of Locke & Key (mostly the comic), the one-two punch of bullying and religious extremism, Holly's memories of high school girls being the worst, Miss Collins' penchant for slapping teenagers, Sissy Spacek's titular performance, Brian DePalma's directorial flourishes, that iconic prom scene, and the final jump scare.

The Final Ghouls are back and going on a terrifying train ride as we take a look at 1972's Horror Express! Holly, Jeremy and L dig deep into Eugenio Martin's train-set horror film with Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing that carries a very familiar story.

Get Ready For: Comparisons to John Carpenter's The Thing, love for the dynamic between Christopher Lee & Peter Cushing (both on screen and in real life), the film's old school Hammer-esque horror feel, Holly and L's appreciation of the train setting (and other unprecedented agreements between them!), Jeremy's enjoyment of Telly Savalas' camp energy and the lopsided approach to the faith vs. science debate.

The Final Ghouls are back and spying on our neighbors as we weigh in on 1954's Rear Window! Holly, Jeremy and L dive back into Alfred Hitchcock's catalog for a look at this single location thriller and its voyeuristic charms.

Get Ready For: Our histories with the film, how well we all get along (or don't!) with our neighbors, Holly's real-life Rear Window-esque experience, oodles of Grace Kelly love, the themes of voyeurism and how it was relevant then and now, which of the neighbor characters we most like, why Jeremy has utter disdain for It's a Wonderful Life and L has a burning hatred for Romeo + Juliet, whether the mystery is appropriately engaging, and how Hitchcock's direction compares to his work in Psycho.
