This week the Grue-Crew hides their faces from Screamers, grabs some wooden stakes for Corbin Nash, and listens to Martin Freeman tell his Ghost Stories. First up is the feature Screamers from director Dean Matthew Ronalds, a found-footage film chasing down the mysterious creator of a series of “screamer” videos. The next film, Corbin Nash from director Ben Jagger, reveals itself to be a surprising, unique vampire film featuring a nearly unrecognizable Corey Feldman in a featured role. Directors Jeremy Dyson, Andy Nyman weave a terrifying tale sitting somewhere between an anthology and a creepy twist in Ghost Stories. The hunt is on for the diamond in the rough. Doc Rotten from Horror News Radio and Jeff Mohr from Decades of Horror: The Classic Era are joined by Rafe Telsch and Vanessa Thompson.
