A Look Back (2025) and a Look Ahead (2026)

from Well-Adjusted Horror · host Johnathon Williams

The gang's all here to bid 2025 a fond (?) farewell. We're ranking the year's horror offerings, from Guillermo del Toro finally delivering the Frankenstein film Levi's waited 30 years for, to Sinners' hot-and-bothered vampires that some of us couldn't be bothered to finish.Weapons confused us until it didn't. The Long Walk made Levi cry. 28 Years Later pissed off Jonathan because The Walking Dead ruined everything. And somewhere in there, we imagined Lloyd the bartender giving Jack Torrance relationship advice.Films Discussed: Frankenstein, Sinners, Weapons, The Long Walk, 28 Years Later, Bring Her Back, Companion, The Monkey, The Ugly Stepsister, Silent Night Deadly Night, Welcome to Derry, Nosferatu, and—of course—Maximum Overdrive.Coming in 2026: Werwolf (it's spelled that way, we checked), Clayface, and whatever nightmare the Pinocchio public domain is cooking up.Give Caleb's wine podcast Natural State of Wine a listen—he's a level two sommelier and will make you a better person, probably.

The Baldwin boys are back for our annual year-end extravaganza, where we count down the top 10 horror films of 2025 and argue about whether Sinners is actually a horror movie (it is, Caleb, finish the damn thing). From del Toro's long-awaited Frankenstein to French body horror Cinderella remakes to Stephen King's death march with Mark Hamill, we've got opinions. Plus: Hallmark adaptations of The Shining we desperately need, which actor would survive North Sentinel Island, and exactly how British the ending of 28 Years Later really is. Also, there's a cat.
