We’ve got an interesting week! Well, interesting you’re the person planning a calendar for the week… Brad will be traveling on Monday, so Will and I are returning to Raft (slightly earlier than usual) to see where the tides take us and probably commit more shark crimes. On Tuesday, Abby continues Fright or Shite with Escape the Backrooms (at least I know slightly more about Backroom stuff now). On Friday, Alex will be out and Brad and I are holding it down and I was thinking about a possible Grab Bag. Going to leave it TBD for now as there is plenty of stuff to boot up and play.

Over in Podcast Alley we’ve got The Watchcast going headfirst into October with Hellraiser! Alex really enjoys that Pinhead (some of the time), so how will Brad and I feel about the whole affair? Find out! We’ll also have The Ramblecast, though it may go up a bit later since we’ll be recording on Tuesday after our stream. Finally, The Podcast and I’m hoping I’ll have Control Resonant wrapping up by the time we sit down to record.

Ok, excited to get back on that Raft! See you there!

The Nextlander Watchcast
October is one of the best months for the Watchcast, if we do say so ourselves, and for this month of spookiness and goopiness we’ve got one of spookiest, goopiest movies of the '80s in Clive Barker’s Hellraiser! Join us as we meet Pinhead and the gang for the first time, compare the film against Barker’s original novella, and ponder just how tempted we’d be to solve the Lament Configuration.
