First up is Night Shift, about a young woman who joins the... night shift... at a creepy motel and begins to see things she can't explain. But the truth is even stranger. We follow that up by exploring Stopmotion, about an animator whose work begins to take over her life to confusing results.

For Horror Business, we discuss the latest film from Monkeypaw Productions, a pair of remakes from Lionsgate, and a possible fourth installment in the X franchise. We also examine the upcoming comic adaptation of Mary Shelly's "Frankenstein" as well as a new TV series from Ryan Murphy.
