3:41Rich selects Werewolf, drawn to its lenticular cover.

27:01Rich breaks down the villains' convoluted plan to make money from a werewolf skeleton and blood.
45:50Franky and His Pals gets a brief discussion, including its awkward attempt at monster comedy.

Rich Evans chooses Werewolf partly because its lenticular cover catches his eye. The packaging turns out to be considerably easier to explain than the movie inside.

In "Best of the Worst: Halloween 2026," RedLetterMedia trades its recent Texas Chainsaw Massacre retrospectives for obscure horror pulled from plastic trick-or-treat buckets. Mike Stoklasa, Jay Bauman, Rich Evans and Colin Cunningham gather at a gothic castle-themed table for nearly two hours of movie discussion. The episode has passed a million views, but the attraction here is the peculiar material they have to untangle.

Werewolf supplies a generous share. The panel picks apart dubbed screams, confusing edits and a scheme to profit from a werewolf skeleton and its blood. A scene involving a werewolf driving through barrels prompts Jay's practical response: "All right, next time, don't let him drive!" Viewers have supplied their own alternative title in the comments, recasting the monster's predicament as a traffic problem.

The discussion also gives the films distinct diagnoses rather than treating them as interchangeable bad movies. With Franky and His Pals, the panel singles out an abrupt monster rap among its failed comedy attempts. BoardingHouse shifts the focus to director and star John Wintergate: the hosts examine a lengthy computer-text introduction, his character's telekinetic powers and the vanity they see in his starring role.

The theatrical setting has not distracted viewers from future programming ideas, either. One commenter proposes a giallo-themed Halloween edition, a suitably specific request for Jay and a table already deep in horror's stranger corners.

I'm surprised Jay hasn't yet talked the guys into doing Giallo-Ween.

This is at least the second BotW film that uses “Dracula” as a common noun to describe vampires in general as opposed to one specific vampire
