Happy birthday to Mister Watson! And welcome to another rip-roaring episode of Horror Movie Weekly, The Midnight Bowling of Horror Podcasts. Here in Episode 121, your late-night Horror hosts — Jay of the Dead, Mister Watson and Projectile Varmint — bring you a Feature Review of Berlin Syndrome (2017)! And of course, in addition to discussing Watson’s birthday, we have a raucous email from Monkeybone, who helps to keep the truth or dare action going from the previous episode. Watson tells his ghost story! And we also bring you our Micro Horror Movie Reviews, which include “Incantation” (2022), “Bread Crumbs” (2011), and “Invasion of the Body Snatchers” (1978). Remember, you are welcome to call and leave us a voicemail at (801) 215-9704. Join us!

Note: This episode was recorded on Aug. 17 — Mister Watson’s birthday — and was released on Aug. 30, 2022.

This weekly Horror movie podcast brings you one recent Horror movie review every Sunday. (We’re defining “recent” as any Horror movie released within the last five years, so now that it’s 2022, we’ll be covering Horror films from 2017 to the present.) And we always reveal next week’s pick at the end of every show, so you can watch along with us and be prepared for the following episode. Join us, and thanks for listening!
