## Resource

The Brendans are hip-deep in Halloween shenanigans as we dive into a double-helping of Guillermo del Toro in prep for Frankenstein . Agnew watches Cronos for the first time (spoilers: it's good), and we chew over Crimson Peak for its 10th Anniversary - as well as chatting George Romero's Monkey Shines , the original Amityville Horror , and more. Our Opening/Closing Music is from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): "Skies of Hope" by RA https://uppbeat.io/t/ra/skies-of-hope You can follow Foley on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Bluesky⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and/or read his work on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Cinapse⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ , and you can follow Agnew on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Letterboxd⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ , ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Bluesky⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ , writing at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Cinapse⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ occasionally, and wherever you can bloody well find him.
