Our past doesn't always define us, and there are plenty of ways to change something if you don't like it. However, what if you do want to become an evil creature bent on taking revenge? In the world of horror monsters and villains, its how they were made that often times can scare us the most. Today we discuss the horrible beginnings that molded and shaped the knife wielding murderers we love on screen. As always let us know what you think and listen in as we go from normal to eldritch abominations with our favorite horror monster origins.

The world was a scary enough place already back in the 1932 for African Americans, but what if vampires were involved too? When two brothers return to Mississippi to escape their past, they are confronted with vampires bent on destroying their bar and turning them into creatures of the night. A beautiful story mixing horror, blues, and historical time frames that feels like a perfect blend of action and terror as we begin our spooky season once again. A must watch to sink your teeth into and dance the dance of fear, because "if you keep dancing with the devil, one day he's gonna follow you home".

In the 21 films that he has created, Tim Burton is responsible for some of the most recognizable and down right creepy characters in recent films. With so many to choose from, we decided to end the month with some of our favorites that he has created. As always, we would love to know what you think, and ask you to listen in while we're drawn in his style with some of our favorite Tim Burton characters

Are you bad at being dead? Don't know how to get get rid of those pesky "alive ones"? Well theres always the best bio-exorcist in the business. When Barbara and Adam die and are forced to see new people take their home, they turn to the craziest option. A classic film, and possibly the best work from Tim Burton has all of the tropes that made him a great director blending comedy, horror, and world building that will have you singing "Day-O" all night long.

"Die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain". What started out as a conversation about the relationship between Depp and Burton, quickly forms into a discussion on the potential of both actor and director. While both have made a career with each other, has unfortunately descended from the A-list status of the 90's. While we do not think both are bad or too far gone at this point, we just feel that it flows with the theme of this month and that is why we talk about "the rise and fall of Johnny Depp".

How far are you willing to go to get back something you love? In Tim Burtons debut, he takes on the film of Pee-wee Herman going across the country to find his stolen bike. With an outrageous style of film that can only be compared to a live action cartoon, Matt loves this film and Zach just plain hates it. Listen in as we argue for about 20 minutes because you have a dream, and we have a dream but ours is us rolling a donut of snakes in a big vest.

Everyone has a best friend in their lives that they choose over everyone else for hanging out, sports, and adventures so why should it be any different for directors? Tim Burton is no stranger to consistently picking the same actors for his films like Johnny Depp, so we started thinking about other director/ actor buddies as well and why this happens so much in cinema. As always, we want to know what you think and listen in while we only cast each other with, directors favorite actors.

In this world full of everything going on, who doesn't enjoy a good laugh? In the very early years of the dark knight, he comes face to face with his greatest rival in the Joker. A perfect casting of Jack Nicholson, bringing the character to life and creating a character study for years to come of the role mixes so well with the macabre and futuristic style that is Tim Burton. If your looking for just a fun time with goofy moments, look no further what is this? "I'm Batman".
