‘You’re Next’ Works as a Stealth Thanksgiving Horror Movie [Halloweenies Podcast]
Look, we know: You’re Next is not a Thanksgiving movie. But goddamn does it feel like one. Directed by Adam Wingard and written by Simon Barrett, the 2011/2013 slasher sees indie darlings (Amy Seimetz, Ti West, Joe Swanberg) and Hollywood heroes (Barbara Crampton, Rob Moran, Larry Fessenden) gathering around the table for a family reunion.
You know, like Thanksgiving.
Given the dearth of Thanksgiving horror content — Eli Roth is fixing that issue this week (wink, wink) — the Halloweenies opted to unlock this episode from their archives to celebrate the season. So, join the gang as they feast upon the wicked rental with pals Terry Mesnard of Gayly Dreadful and Patrick Harris of Museum Noire. Note: This one was recorded in November 2020.

Catch up with the gang by revisiting their essential episodes on past franchises such as Halloween, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th, Scream, and The Evil Dead. This year? It’s Chucky!
You can also become a member of their Patreon, The Rewind, for hilariously irreverent commentaries (e.g. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Gremlins, Darkman), one-off deep dives on your favorite rentals (e.g. Killer Klowns from Outer Space, Manhunter), and even spinoffs like their recent run Fortune & Glory: An Indiana Jones Podcast.
The Halloweenies take a break from the cenobites and dig up the deadites again to review Evil Dead Burn. It’s a full house for this installment and the feelings are all over the place with some divisive takes amongst the five of them. Lucky for you, there’s a seat at the table… join them and enjoy your mashed potatoes.
If you recall, the gang tackled the entire franchise — including Ash Vs. Evil Dead and unofficial entries like Drag Me to Hell and even Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Madness— in anticipation of 2023’s Evil Dead Rise. Be sure to revisit the entire season, starting with their two-part episode on Sam Raimi’s original DIY classic.
