Welcome back to Rewind & Replay — the show where we dig up forgotten gems, cult classics, and old-school hits to see if they still hold up today. Movies are generally from the 70s, 80s, and 90s, with the occasional 2000s thrown in for good measure.

Michael J. Fox meets ghostly chaos in Peter Jackson’s underappreciated cult classic.

Before Lord of the Rings, Jackson gave us The Frighteners—a supernatural thrill ride packed with humor, heart, and horror. Join us on this episode of Rewind & Replay as we revisit ghost cons, serial killers, and the early days of Weta Digital. Does it still hold up? We’ve got the answer.

Watch our full breakdown on Rewind & Replay as we ask: Does this cult classic still hit, or is it a relic best left in the past?
