In this episode, Whitney and Dani kick off their newest series, Slashaway Camp; where they look at some of the most iconic, 80s summer slashers that served us all the campfire fun, complete with a healthy side of teen hormones and plenty of murdery mayhem. And this week they are looking at the quintessential camp slasher flick from 1983, Sleepaway Camp. This movie has some layers and the ladies are eager to talk about each juicy one.

EP28 -Dead Silence Sep 20, 2021

Show notes

“Beware the stare of Mary Shaw, She had no children only dolls….”

...And if you miss this episode, Mary will rip off all your toes!

Okay, so that's not really how the rhyme goes, but this week, Whitney and Dani are wrapping up their Bloody Birthday Bash with Dani’s pick of Dead Silence, and they (and Mary) really hope you check it out. This James Wan film is one that initially went unnoticed but through time has gained a following that undoubtedly understands the fear of creepy dolls. So, grab some popcorn, settle in, and just remember... regardless of how scared you are... do not scream.

Show notes

Well, late night weirdos.. this week, Whitney and Dani are inviting you to live deliciously.

This A24 hit shocked them both in so many ways and they can’t wait to talk about it. So, grab your popcorn, settle in, enjoy the movie.. and check to see who signed the Devil’s book on the way out.

EP21 - The Omen (2006) Jul 16, 2021

Show notes

"From the eternal sea he rises, creating armies on either shore,
Turning man against his brother, till man exists no more."
The girls hit the screening room, and they gotta be on the level,
This isn't their favorite movie about the son of the Devil.
For the sin of remaking this classic, the studio must atone,
But will its memorable mortalities be enough to keep it out of the dead zone?

EP20 - The Sixth Sense Jul 09, 2021

Show notes

“You ever feel the prickly things on the back of your neck… And the tiny hairs on your arm, you know when they stand up? That’s them. When they get mad, it gets cold.”

From jump scares, to tears, to gasps of air after the movie twist of the century - This 1999 classic pairs all of that with a side of some goosebumps making for an emotional ride. Seriously, as one of Whitney’s all time favorite scary movies, this movie did not disappoint and the girls are so excited to talk about it. So, grab your popcorn and settle in as Whitney and Dani discuss, The Sixth Sense.
