  • A Game of Double Features

    A Game of Double Features
    Apr 30 2026
    The concept of the movie double feature originated in the 1930s, and now, when you see a good pairing, it's tough not to carve out four hours for a gluttonous moviegoing soiree.

    But what makes a good double feature? What is the thought process for ensuring one film fits seamlessly with the next?

    Tonight, the AHH Crew sets out to get some answers, as they play a little game revolving around setting up the perfect double feature. Ever played Cards Against Humanity? Yeah, it's kinda like that.

    But first: TALES FROM THE CRYPT heads to Shudder this Friday, and the unshakable dread of the short film DEAD GRANDMA.

    This Year in Horror: 1999
    Feb 27 2026
    Tonight, join the AHH Crew as they travel back in time to 1999 for the latest installment of our ongoing series: This Year in Horror!

    You know how at the end of every year news outlets come out with a year in review, pop culture year in review, or music year in review? Well, it’s time horror fans had something similar for the turn of the millennium.

    1999 was a monumental year for the genre, defined by found-footage revolutions, psychological twists, and some serious Y2K anxiety. From massive cultural shifts like The Blair Witch Project and The Sixth Sense to cult favorites and international shocks like Audition or Ravenous, we’ve got you covered!

    Also discussed: THE UGLY STEPSISTER, PSYCHO KILLER & going down the POLYBIUS rabbit hole.
