For any number of reasons, some episodes of the Bloody Good Horror Podcast have never been available as part of our BGH Classics. Call it a mystery. Call it a conspiracy. Call it laziness. Today, we can call it a thing of the past. We're plugging holes here people!

Next Friday sees the release of one of the more unlikely sequels this year, "Silent Hill: Revelation 3D". In preparation, I plan to watch walkthroughs of the early games on Youtube this week. I mean, I'd probably do that anyway because I'm mentally ill but at least this way I can chalk it up to "research". Here's one of the latest stills, featuring the series' trademark sexy nurses. I mean, I guess they're supposed to be gross dead nurses, but they're clearly sending mixed signals here... just sayin.

Years ago I saw John Carpenter's "Halloween" on the big screen, sort of... I showed up to the screening incredibly excited, but was quickly disillusioned when I realized what I was watching was a DVD of the film projected on the big screen. The end product of this was a muddy, dark picture with terrible sound. Needless to say, I'm eager to wipe that experience from my memory.

Legend has it that Halloween night is the night the dead are able to walk the earth with the living. However, in the Harmon household, they don't really seem to need a special day or an invitation to do it. And so begins the first part of our Halloween episodes of "American Horror Story." In this episode we learn the backstory behind the last owners of the house, the fabulous and bickering couple Chad (Zachary Quinto) and Patrick (Teddy Sears), a major character dies, another rises from the dead and the gimp suit returns.
