“Did You Get That?” Mockumentary Horror Month at ‘Knight Light: A Horror Movie Podcast’
Get ready for a month of chills and shaky cameras with Did You Get That? Mockumentary Horror Month. This April, we’re diving into the world of horror that feels all too real. These films blur the line between fiction and reality, capturing terror in the style of documentaries or found footage.
We’ll explore stories where the camera itself becomes a character. Whether it’s a group of filmmakers uncovering something they shouldn’t, or a documentary gone horribly wrong, these films use the lens to create suspense and fear. Expect close encounters, eerie interviews, and events that unfold in real time.
Sit back, relax, and bring your Knight Light as Prince Jackson and Freddy Nuti break down The Sacrament, The Fourth Kind, Butterfly Kisses, and The Bay.
The Sacrament (2013): Mockumentary Horror Movie Break Down
We began with a disturbing story inspired by real events, where a documentary crew visits a remote religious commune. What starts as a look into an isolated community quickly turns into a terrifying fight for survival as dark secrets are revealed. Listen on Patreon or your streaming app.
The Fourth Kind (2009): Mockumentary Horror Movie Break Down
Next, we faced an eerie tale of unexplained disappearances in a small Alaskan town. Presented as a documentary with “real” footage and reenactments, the film explores the terrifying possibility of alien abduction and the psychological toll it takes on those involved. Relive the alien trauma with us on Patreon or your streaming app.
Butterfly Kisses (2018): Mockumentary Horror Movie Break Down
We then ventured into the realm of urban legends with Butterfly Kisses. This found footage/mockumentary hybrid follows a filmmaker who discovers mysterious tapes in which two documentarians attempt to prove the existence of a local myth—a shadowy figure who appears at the end of a long stare. If you’re ready to explore be sure to tune in on Patreon or your streaming app.
The Bay (2012): Mockumentary Horror Movie Break Down
The Ghoulish Knights on our Patreon had the option to choose between Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon and The Bay. With their vote, we wrapped up with The Bay, a chilling eco-horror that uses found footage to expose a terrifying disaster in a small Maryland town. As a deadly parasite outbreak spreads, footage from news reports, personal cameras, and phone recordings piece together a disturbing narrative of ecological catastrophe. Listen on Patreon or your streaming app.
Join us as we dissect these stories that play with perception, authenticity, and fear. Each film will make you question what you see and hear, keeping you on edge. Welcome to Did You Get That? Mockumentary Horror Month, where every shot counts and every frame could hide something terrifying.

Here at Halloweenies, we love practical effects—there’s a reason why one of our categories is called “Great Graphics.” Well, consider this a full-length “Great Graphics” episode, where we talk to the effects team behind the titular puppet of Pinocchio Unstrung, in theaters this Friday. As the latest installment in the Twisted Childhood Universe, Pinocchio ups the franchise’s game by featuring a villain that’s entirely practical, created with a stunning mix of animatronics and, of course, puppetry.
So, take a seat at the workbench for a spirited interview between Halloweenie co-host Dan Caffrey and MASTERS FX President and Founder (and special effects legend in his own right) Todd Masters, Pinnochio Lead artist and Designer Kiana Larson, and Lead Animatronics Joshua Raymond. Learn how they pulled off such a dazzling and terrifying puppet, where they think the effects industry is headed, the movies that made them want to be FX artists, a few tidbits of Nightmare On Elm Street history, and more.
Pinocchio himself might even pop by for an appearance.
Stream the episode below and get tickets now for Pinocchio Unstrung. New to the Halloweenies? 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, The Evil Dead, Chucky, Alien, and Universal Monsters. This year? Hellraiser AND The Omen.
You can also become a member of their Patreon, The Rewind, for hilariously irreverent commentaries (e.g. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Gremlins, Child’s Play) and one-off deep dives on your favorite rentals (e.g. Saw, 28 Days Later, Manhunter, Near Dark). Each month promises something new and unexpected from the wildest corners of the genre.
