That Film Stew Ep 600 - A Haunted Milestone (Halloween Special 2025)

In our 600th episode we celebrate by diving headfirst into the genre that’s thrilled, chilled, and spilled across our timeline: HORROR. From our very first spooky review to the most underrated scream-fest we’ve ever covered, we’re kicking things off with a look back at our horror milestones. Then it’s time to sharpen the knives as we pit the classics against today’s trauma-laced, meta-aware scream machines. We dissect the trends haunting our screens in 2025 - elevated horror burnout, the rise of horror comedies, and the never-ending parade of legacy sequels. And of course, it wouldn’t be October without a handful of must-see horror recommends for the season, from cozy creeps to blood-soaked fun.
