Horror Explosion - 2026 Releases

Obsession (2026)

Nellie B and Steven Sane hit the town and caught Curry Barker’s theatrical debut, Obsession, starring Michael Johnston as the whiny, self-absorbed man child Bear, and Inde Navarrette as Nikki, the cool girl turned cursed, homicidal walking-meat-sack. This one is a roller coaster of a watch. Not much down time, so be prepared for lots of cringing, shrieking, and creepy bitches in the corner.

Louisiana Trashy Treasure - Scent of Skunkape and Rise of Parlangua

Tonight, we are cooking with the locals! From Baton Rouge writer and director Kaleb Mixon and his company Grunch Road Media, we were blessed with these two punk rock, home-brewed Louisiana cryptic creature features that are definitely worth the watch. The Rise of Parlangua, a bloody biography of a mutant alligator-human, and Scent of Skunkape, an 80s inspired battle of a swamp Sasquatch and the Cajunest man ever seen, had us wheezing. Or maybe that was the herbal enhancement. The Midnight Movie Gumbo duo was even lucky enough to talk to the director himself to hear firsthand how these two gems came into existence. If you enjoy the likings of: early John Waters, the weird B-movies on the low shelves at the video store, Louisiana folklore, and good old fashioned training montages, you'll love this stuff. You can follow Grunch Road Media on Instagram @grunchroadmedia to keep up with their future projects! As always, thank you for listening!
