There's just a month to go until Halloween, and what better way to get into the spirit of the creepy season than with a classic kind of horror movie. Not a question, a statement. Jason and Shawn do just that this episode by reviewing the upcoming scarefest My Soul to Keep and interviewing its director, AJ Zaheer Ahmad, and producer, Justin Hynous. AJ and Justin also wrote this bad boy, and provide some interesting insight on how they crafted the story and created what could be -- and should be -- the next big horror icon; The Burgly Monster! They also discuss making a movie with such a young cast, how to craft a scare, and a whole lot more during the 14-minute conversation. Horror fans take note; you want to hear this one! The Basement Boys also put My Soul to Keep on the chopping block, and determine whether this is a worthy entry in the horror cannon, and if the flick is good gateway horror for new fans. Stick with us! And stick around as From The Basement digs into the...

A Quiet Place came out of nowhere and surprised many with its scary, intense and thrilling horror tale of a family trapped by monsters that hunted using sound. Yes. director John Kransinski nailed the material, but a screenplay is the bones of any movie, and writers Scott Beck and Bryan Woods crafted a great one. So it's with much anticipation that I went into the new Halloween-themed horror flick Haunt, which Beck and Woods not only wrote, but directed. And they did not disappoint. Haunt plays like the bastard child of Saw and Hostel at Halloween time. A group of friends enter a Halloween haunt and discover the scares aren't make believe. Yes, things get pretty nasty. I've never been much for movies that rely on torture for scares. Fortunately for Haunt, this isn't a movie where people are being tortured. Each haunted-house gag is put to gruesome use as victims are picked off one by one. And Beck and Woods know how to stage a scene and a scare. This movie gets ...

One such movie is Haunt, from Scott Beck and Brian Woods, who wrote the amazeballs A Quiet Place, and producer Eli Roth. He should need no introduction. What's it about?

Along with Robert Wise 's The Haunting , this is the granddaddy of haunted house movies; a creepy and atmospheric scare flick that ranks up there with the classics. A team consisting of a physicist, his wife, a young female psychic and the only survivor of the previous visit are sent to the notorious Hell House to prove/disprove survival after death. Previous visitors have either been killed or gone mad, and it is up to the team to survive a full week in isolation, and solve the mystery of the Hell House.  First off, this movie has multiple shorts shitting moments, and that's without adjusting for inflation given that this mofo was made in 1973. That's right, The Legend of Hell House is one year younger than I am and it's scarier than me. Wanna fight about it!?!? What's awesome is that Hell House achieves its scares through atmosphere, camera and sound effects, and editing. There was no CGI in 1973, so director John Hough and screenwriter Richard Mathe...
