Think you can survive 10 hours and 18 minutes of Paranormal Activity?  We're talking 618 minutes of creepy spy cameras, mysterious noises, doors moving by themselves, and people who clearly should've moved out three movies ago! This Binge Bite takes on the ultimate Paranormal Activity movie marathon. Can you binge the entire franchise without checking behind you, sleeping with the lights on, or questioning every little bump in the night? Grab your popcorn, turn off all the lights, turn up the sound, lock your doors, and whatever you do, DON'T check the bedroom camera at 3:00 a.m. The challenge is ON! Are you brave enough to binge all 618 minutes? 😱🍿 Get: the free Bingetology calculator - https://bingetology.netlify.app  Get: BINGE MODE - The Science of Bingeing: Keep Track of Your Binges with Binge Journal  at Amazon - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0HLJ8YLLG

In 1960, a 34-year-old director talked a B-movie studio out of two cheap black-and-white quickies and into one color Gothic instead. It worked. What followed was five years of crumbling houses, candlelit crypts, and one actor whose voice became the sound of Edgar Allan Poe on screen. Part 2 of our Poe binge guide steps into the Roger Corman / Vincent Price era, where the budgets were small, the fog was free, and the same castle set burned down over and over again. We get into what makes these films hold up more than sixty years later, the one that is hiding a different author entirely, the one that is secretly a comedy, and the viewing order that turns eight scattered movies into one very good October weekend. Pour something dark. Dim the lights. Nevermore starts now. WooHoo!!!

AI is everywhere now, but Hollywood has been warning us about it for decades. In this Binge Bite, we’re talking about AI horror movies and techno-thrillers where smart machines, androids, AI dolls, and supercomputers decide humans might be the problem. Will they decide the fate of humanity? If you’re looking for a creepy binge for October, grab the popcorn. These movies might have you looking at your phone, smart speaker, ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Muse a little differently afterward. You'll get chills and thrills because AI is here and who knows if it can really destroy the human race.

Edgar Allan Poe earned nine dollars for The Raven and died broke. Since then, Hollywood has adapted his work more than two hundred times. To kick off October, Bingetology's favorite month for horror binges, we're starting a series on how to binge Edgar Allan Poe. In Part 1, we go back to the beginning: the silent era, D.W. Griffith, Jean Epstein's avant-garde The Fall of the House of Usher, and the Universal horror years when Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi brought Poe to life in The Black Cat and The Raven. Then we dig into why Poe nearly vanished from Hollywood in the 1940s and 1950s, to the rise of atomic monsters and sci-fi. Next up in Part 2: the legendary Roger Corman and Vincent Price era. Keep an ear out for Poe Binge Bites all month long.

This week on Bingetology, I’m working through a streaming kunundrum: too many platforms, too many choices, and somehow still nothing to watch. We also get into the shocking realization that some Gen Z-ers have no idea which movies are actual classics. Yowza! Plus, I travel back in time to talk about the first film made in America and yes, with streaming platforms old classics can still be enjoyed. Streaming chaos, movie history, generational confusion, and plenty of binge-worthy opinions. WooHoo!

Happy Anniversary Stranger Things! I can't believe that its been 10 years since you premiered on Netflix. Congrats! And thank you Netflix for doing something different. Netflix just re-released season 1 of Stranger Things. They dropped a brand new VHS Special Edition. Each of the 8-episode season is re-uploaded with new retro visuals, as well as revised audio, to make it look like it’s playing via VHS. That is so cool. I know what I'll be bingeing this weekend.
