THE END IS NIGH! Of Gobbledyween 2013, that is. And possibly of the world, if Big Haagen has its way in The Stuff. That's right, the final film of this year's horror movie marathon is none other than 1985's The Stuff, about a sentient yogurt-like substance that wants to turn you into a zombified consumer. Or, if you believe guest Greg Sahadachny, it's all about gay panic and the AIDS crisis, man. Which, I mean, if you've seen the Stuff in The Stuff...well, enough is enough. Plus, Paul went to a So You Think You Can Dance show and the gang pours out a pint of the Stuff for Lou Reed.

The penultimate week of Gobbledyween has arrived, and while that is indeed cause for national (nay, international) mourning, don't worry: to make the most of it, Paul and AJ have two movies for you this week. Well, okay, they're really kind of the same movie, but don't look a gift vampire in the fangs or whatever. This week, the boys take a look at what they both agree is the best vampire movie ever made, the 2008 Swedish film Let the Right One In. Five years on, the film has lost none of its haunting beauty. They've also got some love for its 2010 American remake Let Me In, which is very similar but also with some significant differences which change the story entirely. It's a vampiric twofer, and hey, you know what? You deserve it.

Next: Gobbledyween comes to its thrilling conclusion with--wait for it--The Stuff. The Debatable Podcast host and friend of the show Greg Sahadachny joins and probably doesn't know what he's getting himself into.

Gobbledyween week three is here, and I hope you've got an empty stomach, because we're about to load you up on barbecue, sausages, and yes, headcheese. Paul and AJ take a look back at Tobe Hooper's 1974 endurance test The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. As usual, they have a difference of opinion. What they can agree on that there's a lot of screaming, the wackiest bunch of hillbillies this side of Beverly Hills, and actually not a lot of onscreen violence. Oh, and Ed Gein was a pretty messed-up guy. Plus, Paul is chilled and delighted by the first issue of Afterlife with Archie.

Next: Gobbledyween takes a turn toward the vampiric with Let the Right One In.

You may have heard that AJ, Paul, and Eric have been cooking up a special project. That project is the forthcoming superhero short story anthology The Deli Counter of Justice, and they are thrilled to finally star talking about. In this first behind-the-scenes podcast, they discuss the project's silly Twitter genesis, its overall concept (superhero hangs up his cape and opens a deli, as you do), and what you can expect from the book. Also, they're still looking for an author or two! If you're interested, or have any questions, please shoot 'em an e-mail at delicounterofjustice@gmail.com.

After our adventures with clown dolls, Reagan-era values, and disgusting eating habits with Poltergeist, Gobbledyween continues on with ghosts of a different sort in Peter Jackson's The Frighteners. Paul and AJ are joined by frequent guest/utter masochist Eric Sipple to discuss the underrated 1996 horror-comedy, yet another cult classic which Universal botched, moving it from a perfect Halloween release to date to a summer during which it had to contend with Independence Day. The boys are happy to discover that it holds up, that its elaborate special effects are still impressive, and that it's actually pretty damn disturbing. How well Jackson balances the darker stuff with some very broad laughs is another matter, and here's another: does that opening scene need to exist? We have the answer. Plus, Paul almost died! For real! Not an imaginary story!

Next: rev your chainsaws and put on your prettiest skin-mask, boys and girls, because Gobbledyween is taking a look back at the original Texas Chain Saw Massacre.

It's late. Your dad's asleep in his chair. The national anthem plays. Static blares from your TV set. You place your hands on the screen, lean in close, and are confronted with the most nightmarish vision possible...the new episode of Gobbledygeek! Scary, I know. Paul and AJ kick off the month of horror that is known as Gobbledyween with a look back at Tobe Hooper's 1982 classic Poltergeist, joined by long-time friend of the show Valerie Clark in her first (1st!) appearance. Does the movie hold up? Did Hooper really direct it, or was it all writer/executive producer Steven Spielberg? Is the film really one long treatise on Reagan-era values versus traditionalism? Are the characters' food habits the most disturbing thing about the movie? All these questions and more will be answered! Plus, the gang talks Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Next: Gobbledyween continues to terrify, as the putrid Eric Sipple returns to chat Peter Jackson's The Frighteners.
