This week we review the "Candyman" franchise. This urban legend features one of my favorite horror actors-- Tony Todd.

This week we cover the "Cloverfield" universe. What makes this series so interesting is the EXTENSIVE viral marketing campaigns that accompany it. In fact, most of the mythology of the Cloververse occurs OUTSIDE of the movies. And in honor of the evil Tagruato Corporation, Michele gives us a Japanese cheesecake.
