Amusement Park (1975)

In this episode hosts Diana and Audrey cover the incredible film The Devils (1971) in celebration of the 4k theatrical release by Warner Brothers Clockwork.

This episode, we’re talking about No Through Road, a found footage horror series created by Steven Chamberlain and first uploaded to YouTube in 2009. We talk about all four episodes, how the series came to be, and what makes the first video so effective even after all these years. From its Blair Witch Project influences to the series attempt at time loops, who is the masked figure, and the fan theories surrounding the ending.

“In October 1999, four teenaged sleuths and their Great Dane got lost in the woods while in search of a mystery. This is their story.” This week, as spooky season begins to ramp up, our hosts Diana and Audrey discuss the cult classic Blair Witch Project spoof The Scooby-Doo Project. Originally released as bumpers, Cartoon Network commissioned the short film to be included in a Halloween Marathon in 1999. The compilation of bumpers tells the story of the Scooby Gang investigating rumors about the haunted woods nearby, in a small town. The gang interviews real locals, eventually investigating and camping in the woods ending up lost. Presented in a found-footage style, with live-action footage and the Mystery Gang remaining in their traditional 2D animation. As Fred, Daphne, Shaggy and Scooby-Doo prepare to investigate a monster in the haunted woods nearby, Velma announces her decision to document the adventure with a handheld digital camera. Then the special presents the Scooby-Doo version of the iconic Blair Witch Project. Audrey and Diana discuss the low budget and ambitious making of this special, our love-hate relationship with Scrappy Doo, The Blair Witch Project's legacy and the film’s most memorable spoofs over the years. Lots of Zoinks, Ruh-rohs and Jinkies ahead so thanks for tuning in! Follow Video Vestige 🦋 ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/videovestigepodcast?lt_utm_source=lt_share_link#566870348⁠⁠⁠⁠

This week we’re talking about Zach Cregger’s Resident Evil (2026)! Diana is a longtime fan of the games while Audrey went into the movie with basically no Resident Evil knowledge. We talk about Cregger’s take on the franchise, Raccoon City, and the core game lore of Resident Evil 2 and 3, including T, G, and the Las Plagas virus. Then we get into our initial thoughts on the movie and its atmospheric, high stress first 30 minutes. We compare Bryan’s reluctant protagonist energy to Leon and Ethan Winters, discuss whether Bryan’s whole journey is secretly about becoming a father, and debate the movie’s divisive ending. We also discuss the creature design, practical effects, comedy’s place in horror, and whether this entry works better as a Resident Evil adaptation or as a standalone survival horror movie. Spoiler warning for 2026 movie and Game Franchise!
