Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.

Haunt Season (2024) - Monster Madness XX

The haunted attraction is supposed to supply pretend injuries. In Jake Jarvi's Haunt Season, a masked killer makes them real, giving James Rolfe a fitting subject for Monster Madness XX's theme: movies that take place on Halloween.

"Haunt Season (2024) - Monster Madness XX" was Cinemassacre's only new upload this week, reaching roughly 113,000 views. The review includes a paid sponsor segment. In the comments, the movie's creator-world connections become a small recognition game, with viewers pointing out Rob Scallon and Wheezy Waiter. Others bring their own haunted-attraction memories, including a former corn-maze performer recalling the effort involved in scaring visitors all evening.

Rolfe's horror outings extend beyond the review chair. "Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974) Location Tour" currently draws the most daily views of any upload on the channel. James and the crew visit the gas station, Bagdad Cemetery and the Sawyer house, now relocated to Kingsland and operating as Hooper's Restaurant. Matching the film's shots to the real places gives the trip something more specific than a pilgrimage to a famous facade.

Across the channel, daily viewing is above its usual level, and Cinemassacre added about 10,000 subscribers over the week. GameSpot also has an above-usual daily audience among its gaming-review neighbors, while AngryJoeShow is having a slower spell.

The Nerd hasn't disappeared beneath the horror movies, either. "Batman: Dark Tomorrow (GameCube) - Angry Video Game Nerd (AVGN)" remains among the channel's busiest uploads, with Mike Matei playing the Joker and Rolfe taking on both Batman and the Riddler.

Cool shirt. I have not seen Haunt Season yet but am planning to watch all the movies you cover this month that I haven't seen yet. I'll make sure to come back and finish watching your review once I watch the film this evening. Seriously, thanks for all your hard work for over the last two decades.
