Thanksgiving is a time when friends and family gather together to eat, watch football, and be grateful. And what podcast wouldn’t be grateful to have listeners who request films for us to watch and rate? Films like 2009’s ThanksKilling, a direct-to-video horror-comedy flick so absurd that no studio would touch it. And by no studio, we mean that literally: the filmmakers made it for $3,500 and sold copies of the DVD on Amazon directly to people desperate enough to buy a movie that promised “tits in a first second!” After taking more than a year to sell just 1,000 copies, ThanksKilling has since become a cult classic, with a KickStarter-funded sequel and even a musical adaptation. Now, Legends Podcast is talking turkey. Gobble, gobble, motherfeather, this is Legends of Halloween!

The second-highest grossing release of 1999, sitting at $672.8 million worldwide, was M. Night Shyamalan’s supernatural horror drama film The Sixth Sense, starring Bruce Willis and Haley Joel Osment. The film spent five weeks at number one in the U.S. box office, was nominated for six Academy Awards, and introduced the phrase “I see dead people” into the pop culture lexicon. The film’s final twist, which became a Shyamalan trademark, kept audiences going back to see if they could spot the clues, which also translated to strong VHS sales and rental figures when The Sixth Sense was released on home video. Now, Legends Podcast is ready to tell you Bruce Willis’s secret… he’s wearing a hairpiece.

Based on the equally divisive novel by Bret Easton Ellis, the film American Psycho has been polarizing audiences since it premiered at the Sundance Film Festival nearly two decades ago. Set in the late ‘80s, released in the year 2000, and now seen as a cult classic, the horror-comedy put Christian Bale on the map - and also spawned an ‘80s pop-infused musical. In the words of director Mary Harron, the film also reads “as a scenario of female terror,” as relevant today as when it was made. Likewise, controversy over the film’s violence and descent into madness mirrors the concern over the recent release of Joker, which explores similar themes. And now, in the wilds of Wall Street, three podcasters whip out and compare their business cards… this is Legends of Halloween!

One of 1999’s breakout success stories was a found-footage horror movie, a student documentary, a Sundance darling, an elaborate hoax, a sleeper hit, one of the most successful independent films of all time, and a viral marketing experiment that resulted in the film’s three stars being listed as “missing, presumed dead” on the website IMDb for over a year. The Blair Witch Project, a long-gestating production from amateur filmmakers Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sánchez, made on a shoestring budget of just sixty thousand dollars, grossed near $250 million at the box office. It finished in tenth place domestically, beating out other horror entries from masters like Tim Burton and Stephen King. The Blair Witch Project launched a whole genre of horror, from Paranormal Activity to Cloverfield and Chronicle. And now, in the woods of rural Maryland, three podcasters welcome in the season of evil… this is Legends of Halloween!
