If you were staying at a spooky old mansion for the weekend and you found a condemned tarot deck in the basement that definitely looked haunted… would you read from the deck? Or would you run?

Host — Even the ghosts have lockdown anxiety 27:47

Let’s talk about Five Nights at Freddy’s (2023) and its portrayal of the personal unconscious through dreams.

On this special Halloween episode, I’m going to risk having my horror hall pass revoked by diving into a movie that is uhhh not TECHNICALLY a horror movie, but I believe still deserves a place somewhere in the genre for reasons we will explore in the episode — HOCUS POCUS (1993)!
