Watch FUNERAL HOME on Shudder or Tubi to avoid spoilers.
We're counting down the days until Launch Day with another FRIDAY THE 13TH THE SERIES SPECTACULAR episode!
This time we're celebrating the work of director WILLIAM FRUET with ten Friday the 13th episodes to his credit including "The Inheritance", "Vanity's Mirror", and "Face of Fear."
But tonight we're focusing on his 1980 drive-in classic FUNERAL HOME (aka CRIES IN THE NIGHT) which also features three other Friday the 13th The Series veterans: legendary scream queen LESLEH DONALDSON ("The Great Montarro", "Curtains", "Happy Birthday to Me"), LES RUBIE ("Black Christmas", "Scarecrow", "Head I Win Tails You Die", "The Butcher") and DORIS PETRIE ("Doctor Jack", "The Mephisto Ring").
So join Patrick, Maya and Trae as we celebrate the unique weirdness of FUNERAL HOME with insight, wisdom and a whole lot of snark.
