T+E’s Creep Week 2022 slays ’em all!
Like being scared? How about real-life hauntings? Maybe some strange happenings and some killer science is your thing? Guess what, T+E’s Creep Week has you covered! With something for everyone we have a full line up of over 160 (that’s right 160!!!) hours of spooky splunks, gunks, and hunks (Ok, I know I can’t be the only one in the Eli Roth Fan club!), the T+E Channel brings home the gold (dripping in ectoplasm, but still gold!) with their Creep Week line up.
The What? Creep Week!! Seriously if you haven’t seen Creep Week yet stop reading this review. Run to your cable provider (or Apple TV) and sign up for T+E channel now! This week is so good, Jim killed off the Walking Dead to add T+E to his package and hasn’t looked back!
You’ve got T+E now? Uh-huh. Great! Let the madness begin (or so the Ozz Man sayeth!).
The When: October 8 to October 16 is your 160 hours of pure adrenaline pre-Halloween primer of twisted fun!
The Breakdown:
T+E’s Creep Week has the best in original entertainment and real horror happenings! The big shows to not miss ever with many WORLD Premieres include…
Haunted Hospitals
(Jim covered this on Streamin’ Demons AND a What’s Kraken!) jumps in line with the October 12 at 10 pm PT/ET premiere! If you thought the Jell-o was scary, you’ve gotta check out what really happens in the hospitals after dark.
Paranormal: Caught on Camera
This one hits it home on October 13, at 9pm ET/PT with expert analysis of the footage that is all too real and all too scary! (Seriously, don’t watch this one with the lights off!)
Strangest Things
Strangest Things beams over on October 16 at 8pm ET/PT. This one has Jim super excited. He’s a geek and the science being used in this show is both cutting edge and will have you on the edge of your seat! All the things you daydreamed about as a kid will come to life in this season including some truly mind-blowing findings (I can’t tell you, but you HAVE to see this season–do not miss this one if you’re a fan of the unknown!)
Eli Roth Presents: A Ghost Ruined My Life
Finally, we have the one–the only (I think, unless clones?! OMG! ELI CLONES!!!! That’s my idea! No taking it!) Eli Roth Presents: A Ghost Ruined My Life. No! Not your Tinder match that ‘didn’t show up but probably was a catfish who definitely didn’t want to watch Roller Gator with you anyways, so what’s the point? I can’t believe how much…err…sorry…got off track here).
This T+E Original series takes a look at the real-life hauntings that were so shocking to the person, they are still trying to overcome the trauma. I am glad the T+E channel allows these poor souls a place to voice their truths and allow some closure. Sincerely, if T+E is known for anything it is to give a platform to people and treat them as…people. I can’t tell you how many interviews I’ve done with ghost survivors, and they all said the same thing–being able to talk about it with people who don’t judge them helped them more than we’ll ever know.
Introducing T+E’s Creep Week (Oct 8-Oct 16)
Don’t take Jim’s word for the scariness of Creep Week? Shame on you! When have I ever steered you wrong? (Nobody say Roller Gator!!). Fair enough. I’ve included a few trailers to get the juices flowing. Check ’em out and then head on over to the T+E Channel to make your own judgements!
From October 8 to 16, T+E’s Creep Week will be airing daily paranormal programming marathons, including episodes of Scariest Night of My Life, Strange Evidence, Paranormal 911and Help! My House Is Haunted. To find out more about your favourite ghostly series, exclusive videos, trailers, and more, visit T+E’sCreepWeekhub: creepweek.tandetv.com.

Haunted Hospitals Season 4
We’ve talked about this one on our super special Streamin’ Demons (aka the Brannyk has a birthday edition!). If you want to see the perfect blend of well-done practical effects (the makeup artist is killer!) with sensational acting, and real people telling their truly spooky tales, then look no further. Haunted Hospitals is worth the price of the channel itself. I have a whole season of reviews coming at you soon!
Haunted Hospitals, Season 4 (10×60’; HD)
October 12 at 10 p.m. ET/PT • World Broadcast Premiere
Explore chilling stories of paranormal activity inside medical institutions. In each episode, nurses, aides and support workers give first-hand accounts of ghosts, entities and past occupants coming back from the grave to seek revenge or to warn of impending danger. (From T+E)
Eli Roth Presents: A Ghost Ruined My Life
If me saying ‘Hey! It’s Eli Roth hosting this show!’ doesn’t get you to watch this series, then I’m not sure what else I can add in–or do it? Ever have something dark happen to you? Maybe something unexplained? Maybe it’s a specter or a demon or even the elusive Snipe (I’ll get you yet, you murderous fiend!!) whatever it was in your life, wouldn’t you been glad to have shared it with someone and then have Eli Roth go ‘Holy crap that’s scary!’?
Sincerely, if you are into true-life hauntings you need to check this one out. Come for the haunting and stay for the hunking (ok, maybe I’m the president of the Eli Roth Fan Club Sector #12389732.2!)
Eli Roth Presents: A Ghost Ruined My Life, Season 2 (8×60’; HD)

Reminiscent of Roth’s vivid cinematic masterpieces, each episode will play out like mini horror films, immersing audiences in the world of those being haunted and hunted by ghosts.(From T+E)
Paranormal: Caught on Camera
This one could be called ‘Stop messing with spirits!’. These are real people with real footage of some darn right spooky happenings. We’ve all heard the things that go bump in the night (note to self: Never EVER investigate the moaning coming from Mom’s door), but how many of us have evidence of it? This is where the Caught on Camera series shines. Not only do we see evidence, but experts break it down and see just what really did cause that paranormal happening?
Paranormal: Caught on Camera, Season 5 (26×60’; HD)
October 13at 9 p.m. ET/PT • Canadian Broadcast Premiere
Watch as eyewitness’ capture amazing, eye-opening and downright scary paranormal videos from around the world while a panel of experts break down the footage and analyze what was captured.(From T+E)
Strangest Things
If you know Jim, you know he’s a major science geek. Can Science and the Paranormal co-exist? In Strangest Things, we find the answer is a Heck Yes! I can’t go into this too much, but let’s just say when I saw the background for this one…I might have accidentally killed most of my party in WoW. Zug-Zug and oopsies! If you like science and using cutting edge tech to review things you’ve thought not possible, then this is the show for you!
Strangest Things, Season 2 (10×60’; HD)

If you live in the United States, it’s time to rock the vote for real. I shared this video before in conjunction with my identity-based costume work, and I feel it’s important to revisit now, with the election coming up in just a few days. Besides which, Jack Black and Tenacious D are brilliant and given the current political climate, who doesn’t want to do the time warp? But seriously, get out and rock the vote, your life kinda does depend on it (at least insomuch as being able to make for yourself the life that you want, without the government telling you how to do so – especially if you live on the fringes of socially acceptable awkwardness like me and so many of my friends).
Besides which, this video is so good, it’s worth sharing again anyway. And again, if for some reason the video doesn’t load, you can find it here.
Art Attack
And here are some artworks I made awhile back as political commentary. The photograph was shot of the scene exactly as found, of a sign above a parking lot in a quickly gentrifying neighborhood making sure all knew that any unauthorized vehicles were unwelcome, and hung right in front of a flag that was tattered and torn from being caught on the chain link fence driving the point home. The flags were meant to be interactive, with gallerygoers waving them while singing The Star Spangled Banner in its elitist entirety. The whole really spoke to me regarding some of the political climate at the time (this was right before Trump was elected President the first time). How much has changed since then? In some ways, a lot. In other ways, I guess we shall see.

Joe Bob Briggs Creepy Christmas spooktacular: The Last Drive-In Special Charity phenomena
Famed horror host, Pulitzer Prize nominated, and Cracker Barrel aficionado Joe Bob Briggs is back in action, ready to bring some macabre merriment to your holiday season with Joe Bob’s Creepy Christmas. It also gives us horror fans something to take into the new year, be that something Darcy’s panties (sorry, box, I tried) or just the intangible good feels of hanging with friends and supporting a lot of good causes.
The Return of Joe Bob Briggs’s Christmas Special
The Joe Bob Briggs’s Christmas event is akin to a Jerry Lewis telethon for Gen X, with a twist of ‘the last drive-in with Joe Bob Briggs’. This ‘Briggs’ auction of sorts is a nostalgic nod to the past, especially for those who remember the telethons. The dread, however, has shifted from the … well… whatever Jerry was supposed to do (see Sam Kinison’s bit on this for more info) to that of evil goodies.
Without a doubt, this Joe Bob Briggs special is the event we eagerly anticipate each year. It’s a tradition, and a worthy one at that. We hope to see everyone on the interwebs, joining the ‘creepy links’ and engaging in the conversation (We’ll be on Threads and Twitter….tag us as you wish!) ‘live’ the only way anyone should ever watch a tv show (oh, and I guess on demand, but ya weirdos will never know the sting of the Iron Mutant Award!). ‘Live’ is the only way anyone should ever watch a TV show, especially ‘the last drive-in with Joe Bob Briggs’ (as it’s far too hard to watch tv whilst dead).
Joe Bob’s Creepy Christmas The ‘Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs and Darcy the Mail Girl’ special will hit the airwaves live on Shudder TV and AMC+ TV on Friday, December 15th at 9 p.m. ET. Fans of ‘the last drive-in with Joe Bob Briggs’ can also catch the special on-demand starting Sunday, December 17th.
A Creepy Christmas with a Cause
In its fourth year, the holiday tradition of The Last Drive-In goes beyond mere entertainment. It aims to use the platform to raise funds for four vital causes. The charity auction will feature unique props and exclusive merchandise from The Last Drive-In and memorabilia from Briggs’ illustrious 35-year career…including some of his unspoken work as John Bloom. I say Unspoken, because if anyone remembers the first Christmas Special, the autographed copy of Eccentric Orbits was featured (sincerely, a good book–check it out if you haven’t. Jim gives it 4.5/5)
The supported charities for Joe Bob’s Creepy Christmas will include:
- Wildlife Conservation Network
- Paralyzed Veterans of America
- Every Mother Counts
- Solving Kids’ Cancer
The Mystery of the Joe Bob Briggs’s Creepy Christmas Special
The anticipation for Joe Bob’s Creepy Christmas is high, with fans wildly speculating what films will be featured. Personally, nothing can beat the #1 top horror Christmas film of all time, the Easter classic: Passion of the Christ (if a snuff film about a guy who doesn’t fit in getting whipped and nailed up doesn’t scream horror story, I don’t know what does. Also: See Sam Kinison’s concept on crosses and resurrection). However, a Christmas movie I really want to see up on this is Hogzilla and Kiss Save Santa Clause! BOOMMM!! Christmas Won!
As we eagerly wait for December 15th, we wonder what surprises our favorite horror host, Joe Bob Briggs, has in store this time. Will there be exclusive ‘merch’ that Jim will buy and then accidentally put in a Toys for Tots box in the mall?
Join the Fun, Join the Cause, Join the Joe Bob Briggs Christmas event!
Are you ready to dive into the world of Joe Bob’s Creepy Christmas? Do you dare to watch along and help raise money for a good cause? If so, join us at HauntedMTL on Threads (_HauntedMTL_) and maybe Twitter (@HauntedMTL) as we experience the thrill and chills that only Joe Bob Briggs and Darcy can deliver.
Remember, this is not just about indulging in some good old horror fun with ‘Joe Bob’s’ double feature. It’s about giving back and making a difference. So, let’s gear up to have a creepy Christmas with ‘Joe Bob Briggs’, filled with ‘christmas horror films’, ‘christmas demons’, ‘christmas slasher films’, ‘ho-ho-horror’, ‘yuletide horror’ and insightful ‘horror commentary’.Joe Bob’s Creepy Christmas and make this holiday season memorable for all the right reasons! I’m sure Fright Rags will have another stellar set this year, too. They are perfect for the horror fan in your life (even if that fan is you!). I can’t wait to see what they have in store (no pun).
SPECIAL — IF YOU WANT Freeeeeeeee (as supplies last) Fright Rags Joe Bob Briggs merch for this year, just tweet/thread at us during the event and Jim will pick the one that makes him chuckle the most (you will need to give us your address and size in DMs)
