It's a new year - and old aquaintances will not be forgot. This week, a documentary on the Texas Chainsaw Massacre's decades of "Chain Reactions" and influences hits Shudder and the immigrant K-horror blend "Death Name" is this year's first Tubi Original horror flick. Also - Green Room hits Netflix, Hulu picks the wrong version of Shutter, Joe Bob's back in town with "Don't Night" and I want to give the canine star of "Good Boy" all the treats.

Nordic kaiju are back - the other Troll 2 stomps onto Netflix this week alongside B-movie classic Santa's Slay and Silent Night, Deadly Night on Shudder and Slither on Tubi. Plus - the Northman, Tremors: Shrieker Island, Brightburn, Hollow Man, Influencer, and "scream park" documentary Spooktacular, along with a shout out to Radu Vladislas and the Subspecies series.

The end is nigh - the first four episodes of the final season of Stranger Things hits Netflix this week, along with punk rock slasher Director's Cut on Shudder and The Ugly Stepsister on Hulu. Also, tell Scotty to beam you up with indie aliens in the Grey Ones and ghostly whodunnits in The Ruse on Tubi. If you're looking for indigenous horror to watch over Thanksgiving, you've got great options with Prey, Slash/Back, Blood Quantum and The Dead Lands.

Stay safe and stay sane over Thanksgiving. I'll be back in December.
