The Weapons trailer dropped… and we’re still not sure what the hell it’s about. 🔫😱
From the director of Barbarian, it’s mysterious, chaotic, and probably traumatizing.

😈🕵️‍♂️ Private eyes, voodoo, and a one-way ticket to hell—this week’s Throwback dives into Angel Heart (1987)!
Mickey Rourke’s losing his mind, Robert De Niro is all drenched in ‘80s noir doom.

Throwback: King published The Monkey in 1980 — back when toy monkeys banging drums were already nightmare fuel.

Hot take: The monkey’s drumbeat is creepier than most modern horror soundtracks.

“2:17 AM… they all vanished.”
The Weapons trailer is pure nightmare fuel—rituals, paranoia, and Zach Cregger back in horror mode.
We’re breaking it down next week on the pod.

Trivia: The Monkey is based on King’s 1980 short story, where a toy’s drumbeats = doom. It took 40+ years to hit the screen.
