Let The Right One In

We’re deep in Hoa-Hoa-Hoa season (iykyk), and we couldn’t let it
pass without leaping from overpasses into the Swedish vampire
film Let The Right One In. We brought our resident horror expert
Jamie back for this couplet, so you know it’ll be a great dive
into practical effects, the bleakness of the early 80s, and how
all vampire movies technically suck. Put your heavier sweater
over your light sweater and keep out of the pool, dear hearts.
