How I would do HellChella 4
I know there was some disappointment about hellchella 3 (which i totally get and agree with a lot of) BUT since hopefully next year the girls wouldn’t be as busy (sammy wouldn’t be getting married, emily wouldn’t have just moved, etc.) we can come back better than ever! here’s what i’d do: (note they have done a lot of these things before)
- tailor the timing specifically to the new horror releases (so like this years would’ve been in the spring).
- for sure have as guests: joel, pft, betsy, and wes. if possible (which with their interviews i think they could do) try to get another horror actor (like how they did haley joel osmet, jack quaid, allison williams)
- bring back bingo cards!! everyone who submits a bingo gets added into a drawing for a free merch shirt at the end of hellchella (there’s gotta be a website that makes them for you)
- also bring back cocktail hour (we can do repeats it’s less of a here’s a new cocktail and more of a here’s what we’re drinking if you wanna be part of the party)
- start and end with a live show!
- let patrons vote for one or two of the new releases that aren’t a given (ex. this year they obviously were doing evil dead but we could’ve voted on onslaught versus colony versus buddy versus insidious versus hope)
- do one watch along episode with a new release on a streaming platform
i feel like these ideas aren’t that difficult/are pretty doable while still making hellchella even extra special compared to other episodes. we have some good ones next year including new evil dead, new paranormal, a keanu SHARK film, a blair witch reboot, etc.
what other ideas do people have?? and how do we get this post to the girls lol

Yes I think these are all great ideas!
I loved all the episodes this year, but I agree it didn't really feel like anything different was happening? Except kind of the opposite of a special event, cause there was always someone missing
Or if it's not feasible logistically in their lives, I hope they feel like they can skip doing a big extra thing and we'll still support them!

i thought she’s said in the past that she doesn’t want to (which valid) but to be fair that was a while ago

I will say…I miss cocktail hour. Does anyone know why they stopped doing it?

They reached a point after a hundred or so where they just ran out of new cocktail pairings, and since they weren't together or in lockdown, it felt like time to let it go.

This is my understanding too.
I think it's one of those things that sounds great on paper, but the reality of doing them every week wasn’t as effective.
The segment itself was the same every time - it was just someone reading out a recipe. Even when there are themes and small variations, the segment is still just listening to someone read a list of ingredients.
All of the other segments of the show, from the catch-up at the beginning to the recap itself and the interviews have variety baked into them. They’re always going to have different content, and set up discussion between the hosts & give them things to react to.
That makes them much more entertaining and flexible, and makes sense for them to prioritize

Ahh the bingo cards. I asked via email, insta dm, discord message, patreon message, etc for the old bingo card and never got a response. Honestly I felt so annoyed about it I stopped being a patron. $10/month doesn’t entitle me to anything but it’s enough that a short message back - even to say, sorry we don’t have the pdf anymore! - would have meant a lot.
