This film is named after a board game that features racist caricatures and comedically plays on the racial tropes of American horror movies that tend to focus on white people. This album features some commentary on the racial disparities in America.

This family's annual tribute to Halloween is called Treehouse of Horror, and this band/muscian has made a guest appearance on their show.

I signed up for $4.99 for three months to watch the new season of Shining Vale. Not a lot of great stuff on it overall though, but for the price it was worth it to watch a couple things.

This late 90s Japanese film about a cursed videotape also had a successful American remake, this album also has ties to Japan.

What is... Ringu. Very rare occurrence but I actually preferred the American remake - The Ring (which is probably one of my favorite horror movies of all time). This is 梶芽衣子 - 梶芽衣子のはじき詩集 (Meiko Kaji - Hajiki Uta)
