What is peak horror comedy? One could make the argument that this week’s film ascended near the top and became the finest genre spoof of the new century. That’s right, we’re taking a trip to little ol’ place where we can get together… and die for the amusement of the Elder Gods - 2012’s THE CABIN IN THE WOODS!! Along the way, we dig into the haunted basement of the film’s origins, unpack how the movie explains bad horror movie character archetypes, make out with a moose, and celebrate Johnny Friday or whatever his name was! All this, plus we revisit Count Orlon’s time management issues, bloody blowholes, phantom virgins, off brand Cenobites, and the most complicated edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure ever attempted!! So come on in, put up your feet, breathe in the pheromones and intoxicants, and stay awhile - won’t you?
