Each episode he works through a stack of new releases, cult classics, low-budget oddities and bottom-of-the-barrel disasters. Then he tells you which ones are worth your night and which to skip. There are also themed specials, from escape-room horror to a full Halloween franchise retrospective. New episodes arrive every few weeks.

Start here:
• The Wretched, Grafted, and Maniac Cop: the first episode, from March 2025

Streams and Nightmares – Halloween Franchise

Dave's Halloween special walks through the Halloween franchise from John Carpenter's 1978 original to Halloween: Resurrection. For each film you get a quick recap, where it's streaming and a score out of 10. On the way he covers the Thorn timeline, the masks that never looked right again, Paul Rudd's first screen credit and Busta Rhymes' kung fu fight. A good primer if you're planning a Halloween marathon.

NEOZAZ Goes to Crystal Lake

Spoilers for all of Peacock's Crystal Lake, including the finale. In NEOZAZ's 2026 Halloween special, the crew argues about Peacock's Crystal Lake, the series about young Jason Voorhees and his mother Pamela. Two of them liked it. Dave quit halfway through episode one and came back only for the finale. He explains why a backstory with a mad scientist and a super-serum ruins Jason for him. Then everyone moves to a campfire for true ghost stories: a demon beckoning from a building site in Marlton, New Jersey, an old woman on the attic stairs, and two grandparents in the dining room.

Streams and Nightmares – Late Summer Dump

Dave clears out his watch list with a late summer dump: 18 horror movies in 40 minutes, each with where it's streaming and a score out of 10. The highlights are Buffet Infinity, a horror story told entirely through fake local commercials, and Ick, a horror comedy with Brandon Routh and a 2000s soundtrack. Man Finds Tape and The Final Terror also get the thumbs up. He also warns you off a few, including Corey Feldman's The Zombie King.
