This week, we’re diving into Shelby Oaks — the long-awaited horror mystery from YouTuber-turned-filmmaker Chris Stuckmann. We’re keeping it spoiler-free as we unpack what makes this supernatural thriller such a haunting experience. Does the mix of found footage and psychological horror deliver genuine scares, or does it get lost in its own lore? We’ll talk atmosphere, performances, and how Shelby Oaks blurs the line between urban legend and reality. Tune in for our mini review, some light chills, and whether it’s worth adding to your spooky season watchlist.

Grab your rotary phones — this week we’re talking The Black Phone 2! The Grabber might be gone, but the darkness left behind hasn’t hung up just yet. In this review, we break down how the sequel expands on the eerie world of the original, whether the scares still hit as hard, and if this follow-up justifies picking up the line again. Expect atmosphere, tension, and a few chills as we decide if The Black Phone 2 answers horror fans’ calls for more — or if it should’ve gone straight to voicemail.

Bone Lake (2025) - "More like Bone Lame"

SPOILER FREE: 0:00-21:26
SPOILERS: 21:26-END
This week on Horror Hour with the Hanna's, we take a dive into Bone Lake (2025), the latest erotic horror-thriller from Mercedes Bryce Morgan. What starts as a steamy double-date at a remote lake house quickly devolves into a tangled web of deceit, seduction, and violence—but despite its promising setup, Bone Lake often struggles to find real depth beneath the surface.
We talk about the film’s stylish cinematography and strong performances, but also the uneven pacing, repetitive tension beats, and third-act chaos that feels more confusing than cathartic. For a story that wants to explore power, desire, and danger, it sometimes mistakes atmosphere for substance.
Still, there’s something to admire in its ambition: a small-scale horror about human impulses and the monsters they create. Bone Lake may not make a splash, but it leaves a ripple worth talking about.

Bonus Episode: V/H/S/Halloween - Mini Review

In this episode of Horror Hour with the Hanna's, we dive into V/H/S/Halloween (2025), the latest entry in the V/H/S anthology horror series arriving just in time for October. Released on Shudder and produced by Bloody Disgusting, this episode explores a series of Halloween-themed videotape horror segments, each directed by a different filmmaker.
We’ll unpack the strengths: standout segments like “Kidprint” (directed by Alex Ross Perry), which has already drawn attention for its deeply unsettling psychological horror grounded in realism. We also discuss other vignettes such as “Home Haunt”, “Fun Size”, “Ut Supra Sic Infra”, “Diet Phantasma”, and “Coochie Coochie Coo”—each bringing a distinct flavor of dread.
We’ll also talk about how V/H/S/Halloween fits into the larger V/H/S franchise—how it continues the found footage tradition, how it leans into Halloween iconography, and how it both leans on and subverts anthology horror tropes. While not every segment resonates, the film has been praised for balancing camp, gore, and horror tone. On Rotten Tomatoes, reviewers note it “knows precisely how to handle the switch in tone” between silly and dark.
If you’re into anthology horror, found footage vibes, or Halloween-flavored frights, this episode is for you—grab your VHS stack and tune in.

SPOILERS: 26:55-END
In this episode we dig into Good Boy (2025), a haunted-house horror told from the point of view of a loyal dog named Indy — an unusual, emotionally driven take on the genre that foregrounds animal instincts as our guide through dread.
Director Ben Leonberg—who co-wrote the film—casts his real-life dog Indy in the title role , creating a rare canine-led emotional core.
We’ll cover why the film’s perspective shift works (and where it strains), the standout practical filmmaking choices that sell a dog-centered POV, the performances that ground the story, and whether Good Boy balances heart and horror without tipping into gimmick.

Shudder is blowing out the candles, and we’re joining the party! In this special episode, we spotlight four standout Shudder originals that showcase the streaming service’s unique approach to horror.
We start with Blood Quantum (2020), Jeff Barnaby’s bold and bloody take on the zombie genre with a sharp cultural edge. Then we unravel the eerie tension of Caveat (2020), a claustrophobic chamber piece that proves minimalism can be terrifying. Next up, we descend into Mad God (2021), Phil Tippett’s decades-in-the-making stop-motion nightmare that’s as mesmerizing as it is disturbing. Finally, we check out Grafted (2024), a body-horror gem that combines beauty expectations and mutation in unsettling ways.
Together, these films highlight Shudder’s range—from socially charged horror to experimental art to nerve-racking slow burns. Whether you’re a longtime subscriber or just horror-curious, this birthday bash proves why Shudder has become the home of modern horror.

Him (2025) - "The Substance: For Men"

1 hr 1 min
SPOILER FREE: 0:00-30:15
SPOILERS: 30:15-END
In this episode we tackle HIM (2025), the horror-thriller that attempts to mash up the brutality of sports culture with supernatural dread. Produced by Jordan Peele, directed by Justin Tipping, and starring Marlon Wayans, Tyriq Withers, and Julia Fox, the film follows young quarterback Cam Cade as he accepts a seemingly golden opportunity to train under legendary quarterback Isaiah White—only to find the path to glory is darker than he imagined.
We explore what HIM does well: its unsettling visuals, strong performances (especially Wayans), and its ambition in critiquing the sport’s glamor, sacrifice, and the cult of celebrity.
But we also unpack its shortcomings: moments where the story gets fuzzy, pacing that unevenly swings between high tension and confusing detours, and themes that seem more hinted at than fully realized.
