Curse II: The Bite is a 1989 straight-to-video sequel that borrows the kind of title meant to catch a larger wave, and the hosts treat it as a surprisingly polished oddity.

A scrappy Halloween curio gets the affectionate, half-ridiculous treatment it deserves.
Two Guys and a Chainsaw spends Halloween with Haunted Ween, a 1991 obscurity that gets treated as a forgotten labor of love with real heart. The hosts do their usual work here: they move through the plot, clock the amateur cast, and keep pointing out the shameless product…
Teen witches, Halloween atmosphere, and a loose horror chat that lands on the truck scene and Manon.
