Tonight, the AHH Crew sets out to get some answers, as they play a little game revolving around setting up the perfect double feature. Ever played Cards Against Humanity? Yeah, it's kinda like that.But first: TALES FROM THE CRYPT heads to Shudder this Friday, and the unshakable dread of the short film DEAD GRANDMA.
