Sam wrote, directed, and edited his horror short film, Cameron, a thriller about two grieving parents navigating the death... and return of their son.

Say it once. Say it twice... Finally, our lovely Lydia-inspired horror host, Chelsea, watches Beetlejuice (1988) and Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (2024) back-to-back and gives us her uninhibited review with spoiler-ific movie descriptions included. 36 years later, Tim Burton has reunited the original cast with Catherine O'Hara, Winona Ryder and Michael Keaton, joined by Jenna Ortega, Justin Theroux, Monica Belluci and many, many more. There's quite a lot to unpack here. Enjoy!

A little bit about our gothic hostess… Chelsea has loved horror movies ever since she could scream. She hasn’t always been able to share her love of horror with the world, fearing the stigma that comes along with loving anything out of the ordinary (and she’s not ordinary). If you’ve ever spent an evening with her though, and asked her what she would like to watch — she most certainly said “Something scary!”.
Chelsea is a lover of horror old, new, bad, good, and everything in between. One day she realized just how much she loves horror and decided she wanted to talk about it with her friends and the horror community in general. Thankfully, she’s found a medium where that can be accomplished. Thank you to every babe who takes the time to watch, like, comment, and subscribe to the Horror Babe Show. Bye babe!
