New Horror Movies Ep. 008: The Uppigus - An Audio Podcast Tribute to Found Footage Horror

In 2015, Jay of the Dead produced an “on the road” podcast episode called “The I-80 Tapes.” The primary focus of those live recordings was Jay traveling westward across the country, along Interstate 80, and stopping at gas stations and truck stops to record his DVD findings at the $5 bargain movie bins! But for that episode, Jay had planned another facet to those recordings, but he “chickened out” because he didn’t feel he could pull it off well enough… Seven years later, Jay of the Dead returns in Episode 008 of Jay of the Dead’s New Horror Movies where he endeavors to deliver a heavily, “execution-dependent” podcast episode that we hope will be entertaining and unforgettable! So, join our seven Horror hosts for some entertaining 2022 Horror movie reviews, and tag along with Jay and his “Necro-MOM-icon” as they travel to Las Vegas and hunt for $5 movie bargain bins!
