  In this episode of The Horror Comedy Hangout, Chris and Jess review the blood-soaked, laugh-filled horror comedy Clown in a Cornfield, directed by Eli Craig (Tucker & Dale vs. Evil) and based on the bestselling novel by Adam Cesare. This small-town slasher blends brutal kills with biting satire, and we had an absolute blast watching (and talking about) it!

 We break down the movie’s story, characters, and scares—plus how it balances horror and humor. Is this the next cult classic? Does Eli Craig deliver another genre gem? We’ve got thoughts!

Then we pit three terrifying clowns against each other: Pennywise from IT, Art the Clown from Terrifier, and Friendo, the masked maniac from Clown in a Cornfield. Who’s the creepiest? Who’s the funniest?  It’s a Clown Showdown!

If you’re into horror-comedy films, killer clowns, or just want to know if this movie is worth streaming, this episode is for you.

We just dropped our Death of a Unicorn review, and y’all… this horror movie tries to be a comedy, fantasy, satire, and kinda fumbles them all. We were pumped for Paul Rudd, Jenna Ortega, and magical healing unicorn blood (yes, really), but this film left us more confused than enchanted. 

If you love weird horror comedies, this might still be your thing — but for us, Death of a Unicorn was more fizzle than sparkle.

The horror shows up late, the laughs feel forced, and the tone is all over the place. Still, we break down what worked (Anthony Carrigan, you're the king) and what totally didn’t in our latest horror comedy review on The Horror Comedy Hangout. 🩸🦄 Final rating: 2.5 out of 5 Screaming Smiles!

This bonus episode of The Horror Comedy Hangout with Jess and Chris is all about Heart Eyes—the new horror-comedy-rom-com that's slashing its way into the date night scene. 

We’re diving into whether this blood-soaked love story is the perfect match for your next movie night or just a mismatched mess. From the killer’s heart-shaped mask to the unexpectedly great chemistry between the leads, we cover it all. 

Jess dishes on the balance of gore and giggles, while Chris breaks down the charm (and chaos) of this over-the-top villain. 

We also talk about what makes a killer truly iconic—those unforgettable traits that turn a slasher into a legend. It’s a bloody good time—just don’t forget the popcorn and maybe a mop.

In this episode, Chris and Jess break down the dark comedy horror-thriller Companion — a wild ride into the world of artificial intelligence, emotional connection, and what happens when machines get a little too close for comfort.

We dig into the film’s twisted characters, unexpected humor, and eerie atmosphere, all while unpacking the big question: Do AI robots actually have feelings, or are they just reflecting our own desires back at us? 

Plus, we break down the movie trailers that had us hooked and explore how the director came up with this unique and disturbing story. 

From ethical dilemmas to jaw-dropping moments, this episode blends thoughtful conversation with the usual horror-comedy chaos you’ve come to expect.
