  • A Fright Fest for the Film-Obsessed: Kanopy’s Halloween Highlights

    A Fright Fest for the Film-Obsessed: Kanopy’s Halloween Highlights
    Oct 10 2025
    Think you’ve seen it all when it comes to horror? Think again. Kristy and Jeff open the crypt to explore some of Kanopy’s creepiest, most unforgettable scares — from haunted Airbnbs and cursed convents to zombie trains and demonic detectives. It’s a cinematic séance for the film-obsessed. 🎬 Welcome back to The Film Library, a Kanopy podcast where we spotlight hidden gems, cult favorites, and movies that linger in your mind long after the credits roll — no film degree required. This week, hosts Kristy Puchko (Entertainment Editor at Mashable) and Jeff Rauseo (film lover, horror junkie, and lifelong Halloween enthusiast) celebrate spooky season the only way they know how: with a full-blown Fright Fest. From psychological slow-burns to international nightmares, they’ve handpicked a lineup that proves the best horror isn’t always found at the box office. Kristy kicks things off with The Rental — Dave Franco’s chilling home-invasion debut — and the unstoppable terror of Train to Busan, the South Korean zombie masterpiece that redefined the genre. She rounds things out with Oddity, a mind-bending Irish folk horror about loss, superstition, and one unforgettable wooden golem. Jeff brings his own twisted delights: the religious psychodrama Immaculate starring Sydney Sweeney, the Turkish descent-into-hell nightmare Baskin, and the criminally underrated Exorcist III, a late sequel that’s smarter, scarier, and far more unsettling than anyone remembers. Together, they dissect what makes horror so addictive — the tension, the catharsis, and the universal joy of being scared out of your mind. So dim the lights, grab your garlic popcorn, and stream these frightful favorites on Kanopy — if you dare. 💀 Real scares. Cult classics. Zero tuition required. Follow Kristy on Instagram @thekristypuchko and Letterboxd @kristypuchko. Follow Jeff on Instagram, TikTok, and Letterboxd @jeffrauseo. Follow Kanopy on Letterboxd to see the full episode list.

    Oct 3 2025
    🍿 Why Animation Matters Think animation is “just for kids”? Kristy and Jeff unpack why this medium often tells stories live action never could. Turning a dismembered hand into a hero, retelling true crime with emotional clarity, or weaving folklore into modern storytelling. 🎬 Welcome back to The Film Library, a Kanopy podcast where we spotlight hidden gems, cult favorites, and movies that linger in your mind long after the credits roll - no film degree required.

It’s for dreamers, weirdos, and anyone who loves when movies push the boundaries of reality! Kristy brings bold picks that blend real life and fantasy, like the animated true-crime documentary My Old School, the breathtaking artistry of The Secret of Kells, and the moving friendship tale Robot Dreams.
