A franchise podcast for the Horror Completionist. Hosts James Strayer and John C Meyers talk and analyze their way film by film through horror's longest running franchises. How do they evolve? What do new filmmakers bring when a franchise is several films deep? Usually, they start out great but perhaps 6- 8 entries in... they start to hurt a bit. Music by Michael Arthur Holloway and logo by Ethan Kimberling.

We are joined by David Weiner to talk about the third part in his 14.5 hr documentary on 80s horror! How do you go about deciding what to include? Who do you interview?
This doc is a great way to hea…
Tobin Bell gets to do some acting and people yell at eachother a whole bunch. And more Canadian Doors!
We are joined by Becky Darke to discuss the first installment of the Saw franchise. Grandfather of Torture Porn or gritty Seven-inspired police procedural?
And... is Billy the Doll cute?
We discuss the series as a whole, favorite kills, best makeup effects and where we'd like to see a Part 5 take us.
Join us as we discuss the fourth and final Wishmaster film. And we still miss Andrew Divoff instead of this... "Djinn-cel" stalking our hero.
Oh boy how we miss Andrew Divoff in this college based Wishmaster sequel. Can't we just get beyond The Gates of Hell?
A Djinn with unlimited powers is released from his prison and.. goes directly to prison. And then to a casino. Thrill at these locations (and a few neat gore effects) as we discuss "Wishmaster 2"!
Flophouse host Stuart Wellington joins us to discuss Wishmaster- starring Robert Englund, Ted Rami, Kane Hodder and Tony Todd.
After 6 films, we discuss how they all fit together (or don't), favorite performances, best kills and of course- see who won in the Kill Count Guess.

It's finally Garbage Day! We still manage to talk for the same amount of time considering half of this film is recycled footage from Part 1.
Hey you Moon Goons, settle into the Christmas Season as we return to discuss the first of six "Silent Night, Deadly Night" films! Those concerned parents who had this pulled from the theater in 1984 …
We break from format to talk about what we've been watching this horror season.
We take a look at the franchise as a whole. How did they progress? What's the best inciting incident? Best Kill? And of course- did John or James come closest in the Kill Count Prediction?
