The "Hatchet" Franchise And Popular New Orleans Foods

NOTE: This podcast was rebranded on 5/29/25 as "Horror Movie Franchises".  This week we review an often overlooked franchise. It's "Hatchet". There are four movies total in the series. All were written and directed by Adam Green (except for "Hatchet 3" which was directed by BJ McDonnell). The movies follow the Bayou Butcher Victor Crowley as he terrorizes anyone stupid enough to go into the swamp. It's over the top campy gory fun. And a number of horror icons make appearances here including: Danielle Harris "Halloween", Tony Todd "Candyman", Robert Englund "Nightmare On Elm Street", Kane Hodder "Friday The 13th", and Felissa Rose "Sleepaway Camp" (just to name a few).    And when visiting New Orleans, the Food Network has a few local dishes you must try here. They include: gumbo, crayfish, oysters on the half shell and beignets.  Photo Credit: Here
