What We Watched | July 2026 - Red, White, and Blood (Summer Horror)

Celebrate summer horror with Slasher & the Final Girls as we close out Red, White, and Blood Month; our salute to Americana horror, sun-soaked slashers, creepy campgrounds, and vacations from hell.In this episode of What We Watched, we share our latest horror movie, thriller, and book recommendations, including Founder’s Day, Dead Calm, Evil Dead Burn, There’s Something Wrong with the Children, The Farm, Darkest Hour, The Bay, The Burning, and the werewolf cult classic Silver Bullet. From political slashers and yacht nightmares to found-footage eco-horror, summer-camp killers, and brutal creature features, we are covering plenty of ways your summer plans could go horribly wrong.For our horror book club, we head to Long Island with Hunter Shea’s The Montauk Monster, a fast-paced cryptid horror story filled with secret military experiments, government chaos, mutated creatures, and extremely questionable survival instincts.We are taking a short break from our regular WWW episodes in August, but our July full-movie episode should still be headed your way. Until then, stay out of suspicious lakes, avoid abandoned campgrounds, and prepare yourselves for our most exciting theme yet: Saw-tember.
