In this special preview episode of Open Mic Night of the Living Dead, we count down our top 12 horror movies each, sharing our combined Top 24 of ‘24. We revisit films we watched together this year - some classics, some new releases, and a few hidden gems that caught us by surprise. Along the way, we dig into why certain movies lingered in our minds, what scares us, and how horror hits differently depending on our life experiences. Spoiler-free (for now!), we share our favorite picks, honorable mentions, and debut original songs inspired by Trancers and The Substance. Whether you’re into campy ‘80s goodness or this year’s boundary-pushing releases, join us as we chat about what makes for a memorable horror watch and kick off the creative side of the podcast with our impromptu musical tributes.
