9 Nights of Spoilaween: 9 Binge-Watchers Halloween Episodes to Watch Before Halloween 🎃
Halloween isn't one night around here.
Over the years, Binge-Watchers Podcast with Johnny Spoiler has celebrated spooky season with vampires, killer robots, questionable Halloween candy, cult horror movies, ridiculous costumes, space vampires, forgotten slashers, and more than a few movies that probably should have stayed buried.
So we're digging through the crypt and bringing nine of those Halloween episodes back from the dead.
Welcome to 9 Nights of Spoilaween.
Watch one episode every night, work your way through the Binge-Watchers Halloween vault, and remember our most important rule:
Binge Now. Sleep Later.
🎃 NIGHT 1: Best Vampire Movies of All Time
Before there was Spoilaween, there were vampires.
Johnny Spoiler and the Binge-Watchers crew sink their teeth into vampire movies and the bloodsucking moments that made the genre so much fun in the first place.
Forget the sparkling romantic variety for a minute. We're talking about the movies where vampires are monsters, seducers, maniacs, road-trip companions and occasionally some of the coolest creatures ever put on screen.
It's a perfect place to start our Halloween marathon because nothing says October quite like staying up too late talking about people who refuse to stay dead.

🎃 NIGHT 2: Drag Me Through Another Halloween Movie Episode
Michael Myers has been stabbed, shot, burned, blown up, rebooted, retconned and generally inconvenienced for decades.
Trying to explain the continuity of the Halloween franchise might actually be harder than surviving Michael Myers.
Johnny Spoiler attempts exactly that while dragging Jordan Savage through the wonderfully confusing history of Halloween movies.
Sequels ignore sequels. Timelines disappear. Laurie Strode's history changes. Michael comes back. Then he comes back again.
And somehow we love this franchise anyway.

🎃 NIGHT 3: Spooky, Sexy, Sweet
Halloween has three essential ingredients:
Costumes. Candy. Horror movies.
And sometimes the costumes are considerably more ridiculous than the monsters.
In Spooky, Sexy, Sweet, Binge-Watchers dives into the strange traditions surrounding Halloween—from costumes and candy to the cult movies that become mandatory viewing once October rolls around.
It's less about reviewing one movie and more about celebrating the entire weird ritual of Halloween.
Grab the candy bowl.
Turn the lights down.
And try not to think about how much candy corn you've already eaten.

🎃 NIGHT 4: The Binge-Watchers Podcast Halloween Special
Sometimes you don't need a complicated theme.
You need Halloween.
You need horror movies.
And you need Johnny Spoiler behind a microphone talking about all the wonderfully stupid, scary and entertaining things that make October the best movie month of the year.
This 2023 Halloween special captures Binge-Watchers in full spooky-season mode: movies, jokes, Halloween conversation and the kind of tangents that happen when horror fans are given microphones.
Consider this the point in 9 Nights of Spoilaween where the party officially gets weird.

🎃 NIGHT 5: Halloween Costumes, Anticipated Movies & SHAKMA
What does Halloween need?
Costumes? Obviously.
Horror movies? Absolutely.
A murderous baboon?
Apparently.
This episode starts with Halloween costumes and movies we're excited about before wandering directly into the territory Binge-Watchers does best: discovering a movie so bizarre that you immediately need to tell somebody else about it.
Enter Shakma.
The 1990 cult horror movie unleashes an enraged laboratory baboon inside a building full of unfortunate humans.
Yes.
Someone made this movie.
And yes.
We had to talk about it.

🎃 NIGHT 6: Halloween Vibes — Candy Corn, Cheerleader Camp, Crackcoon & Creepy Classics
This may be one of the most Binge-Watchers Halloween combinations ever assembled.
Candy corn.
Cheerleader Camp.
Crackcoon.
Try finding those three things together anywhere else on the internet.
Johnny Spoiler digs into Halloween traditions and seasonal horror before revisiting the wonderfully trashy Cheerleader Camp (1988) and venturing into the completely reasonable cinematic concept of a murderous raccoon fueled by drugs.
This episode also helped establish what would become our Halloween Vibes tradition: Halloween isn't just October 31.
It's an entire month of watching weird movies you would have trouble explaining to normal people.

🎃 NIGHT 7: Halloween Vibes With LIFEFORCE
Naked space vampires.
London getting destroyed.
Patrick Stewart.
Energy-sucking undead creatures.
And somehow that's only the beginning.
Tobe Hooper's Lifeforce (1985) is exactly the kind of movie Binge-Watchers was created to celebrate: gigantic, expensive, completely insane genre filmmaking that refuses to behave itself.
What begins as a space expedition turns into vampires, apocalypse, horror, science fiction and enough bizarre imagery to fuel several episodes.
This is Halloween Vibes after somebody accidentally launched Halloween into outer space.

🎃 NIGHT 8: Space Halloween Vibes — SATURN 3
Halloween stays in space for another night.
This time we're visiting Saturn 3, the wonderfully strange 1980 science-fiction thriller starring Farrah Fawcett, Kirk Douglas and Harvey Keitel.
There's an isolated research station.
There's a homicidal robot.
There's jealousy.
There's sex.
There's science-fiction weirdness.
Basically, somebody took a dysfunctional relationship and gave it a murderous robot.
Naturally, Johnny Spoiler had questions.
Space Halloween Vibes takes the Halloween formula somewhere different: into the dusty corners of retro sci-fi where horror and science fiction collide and movies get very, very strange.

🎃 NIGHT 9: SPOILAWEEN — Johnny Spoiler's Ultimate Halloween Movie Marathon
And finally, we arrive at SPOILAWEEN.
After years of Halloween episodes, horror marathons and seasonal movie insanity, it needed a name.
This is Johnny Spoiler's Halloween movie marathon: a celebration of the horror movies, cult discoveries and questionable cinematic decisions that have made Halloween a Binge-Watchers tradition.
If you've made it through all eight previous nights, congratulations.
Your reward is more horror movies.
Because that's how Spoilaween works.
There are no survivors.
There are only people wondering what we're watching next.
