Shocktober

Active tradition

A Flop House tradition since 2008.

Every October the Flop House goes horror: a full month of bad scary movies, capped by the occasional Halloween-costume mini on November 1st. The show's longest-running tradition, going strong since 2008.

Other than this brief Shocktober close-up mini, all four of November’s remaining shows will be FULL EPISODES!

We’re shivering just thinking about it!

Episode #406

Ghoulies

Well, they said they’d get us in the end, and I guess they were right! We couldn’t avoid those little beasties anymore, and decided to kick off our 80’s flashback Shocktober with the oft-mentioned, but never fully discussed tiny creature feature Ghoulies!
