Riffing On Horror went LIVE with their 58th episode, to end the day with a riffing on Cabin Fever.
Rob and Kelsey sat down for a gross and torturous viewing of Eli Roth's bloody, friends in the woods horror experience starring Corey's best friend Shawn from Boy Meets World.
The slow paced torture-porn of a film did wear on the hosts but in all they came away from Cabin Fever feeling the same way most of us did, grossed out. Cabin Fever stars Jordan Ladd, Rider Strong, James DeBello, Cerina Vincent and Joey Kern, in Eli Roth's directorial debut.
Join Riffing On Horror every Saturday at 9:00pm EST when they sit down with a new horror film to enjoy with their LIVE audience.
Another attempt at adapting the 1980's vampire classic The Lost Boys is underway, this time as a feature film not a television series.
Warner Bros. is behind the remake that will tell a similar story of two brothers moving to a new town plagued by teenage vampires. Jaeden Martell and Noah Jupe will star, not necessarily as the brothers, in a more updated retelling of the story originally created by Jan Fischer and James Jeremias. The film is still very early in pre-production but as news breaks, you'll hear it here first.
Well, that's about it, horror fans. I thank you all for stopping by. It's always good to go into a new week of horror with a little refresher, and that I am happy to provide. Be sure to stop by next week where there will be another Horrific Recap waiting for you. Alright, I'll let you go now but be sure to let your neighbors know you love them, by stepping outside and letting out a good, loud scream. If they yell back at you, it only means they care. Until next week, horror fans.
