We're halfway through our 31 Days of Halloween, and it's time to catch up on everything we've been watching. Patrick and Dan revisit the first two weeks of the marathon, sharing their thoughts on horror favorites, new discoveries, and a few surprises along the way.

From V/H/S/Halloween, Prince of Darkness, and Rogue to Tremors, The Lost Boys, and Halloween II, there's plenty to discuss as we work through our October watchlists.

We also catch up on the latest horror news, including Predator: Badlands, a possible return for Ripley, Sam Raimi's Send Help, and Black Phone 2. Then we turn our attention to the increasingly expensive world of physical media, with a look at recent 4K releases, SteelBook collections, and some additions to our shelves.

Interested in the history of found footage horror? Read our look at the genre's evolution, from The Blair Witch Project to Paranormal Activity.
