1. Horror Hour with the Hannas uses this bonus episode to rank January and February 2026 horror movies. 2. Hannah Hanna and Matt Hanna host the show and compare their own viewing logs, with Hannah naming at least 11 films on Letterboxd and Matt listing six wide releases. 3. The episode asks which 2026 horror releases were worth spotlighting before the show moves back to its regular schedule. 4. Matt names The Plague, 28 Years Later: Bone Temple, Send Help, We Bury the Dead, Primate, and Psycho Killer as the main wide releases he saw. 5. Hannah adds Honey Bunch, Cold Storage, Mother of Flies, The Arborist, Diabolic, The Mortuary Assistant, Night Patrol, Grizzly Night, and Killer Whale to her list. 6. The hosts say some titles were early screeners, and Hannah thanks the companies that sent Honey Bunch, We Bury the Dead, Cold Storage, Diabolic, The Mortuary Assistant, and Grizzly Night. 7. They skip Scream 7 on purpose because they do not want to spend money on it after the Melissa Barrera and Jenna Ortega split. 8. Both hosts agree that 28 Years Later: Bone Temple sits near the top of their 2026 rankings. 9. Hannah says The Plague reminded her of a stressful period in her life and that the movie worked because of that anxiety. 10. Matt says The Plague felt successful because its score and child performances carried the material. 11. Hannah calls Honey Bunch her biggest surprise and says the twist changed how she read the movie. 12. Hannah names Jason Isaacs and Kate Dickie as reasons Honey Bunch felt stronger than expected. 13. Matt says We Bury the Dead was marketed poorly because he expected a normal zombie movie. 14. Matt describes We Bury the Dead as a grief story and a character study with a zombie backdrop. 15. Hannah names Night Patrol as her biggest letdown because the concept sounded promising and the execution felt sloppy. 16. The hosts also criticize Killer Whale for weak emotional beats and rough-looking whale CGI. 17. Hannah says The Mortuary Assistant has strong sound design and gross body-processing effects. 18. The episode stays conversational and ranking-driven, with back-and-forth banter, short tangents, and blunt verdicts. 19. Listeners who track new horror releases and cast-driven genre chatter will get the most from this episode. 20. Listeners looking for one-movie deep dives or spoiler-heavy plot coverage may skip it.
