Ep 122: Evil Dies... Tonight??? Oct 31, 2022

Show notes

It’s another Halloween, another podcast anniversary (2 years today), and another “Halloween” film is out! We spend the entire hour discussing “Halloween Ends” — breaking down everything from Laurie, to Corey, to the story that had people going nuts on social media. Did we enjoy the new direction? Was it a fitting end to the franchise? And most importantly, did evil finally die tonight??? Tune in to hear all our thoughts!

Ep 121: Interview w/Micah Sloat from the “Paranormal Activity” series Oct 24, 2022

Show notes

The original “Paranormal Activity” not only introduced moviegoers to Micah Sloat, but made sure they’d never forget the pronunciation of his name after those blood-curdling “MEE-CAH” screams in its finale. Tune in to hear all about Micah’s experience making the film that launched this iconic franchise, how shooting its sequel compared to the original, and if anything paranormal lies in his future.

Ep 120: Interview w/Katie Featherston from the "Paranormal Activity" series Oct 17, 2022

Show notes

You can’t think of “Paranormal Activity” without Katie Featherston coming to mind. As the star of the original movie (and having appeared in 4 of its sequels), she’s become the face of the franchise. Tune in to hear all about auditioning for and shooting the first film, how Steven Spielberg was responsible for her character’s survival, and whether she’d ever return to the series that made her famous.

Ep 119: Smile, Pinhead! Oct 10, 2022

Show notes

This week’s movie selections will either have you grinning from ear to ear or ready to raise hell! Puns, anyone? “Smile” knows exactly how to creep people out, whether it’s with disturbing facial expressions or loud jump scares. And Hulu’s new “Hellraiser” brings some freshness to the iconic horror series, but also stays true to its torturous roots.

Ep 118: Interview w/Lezlie Deane from “Freddy’s Dead” & “976-EVIL” Oct 03, 2022

Show notes

Not only did Lezlie Deane battle Freddy Krueger and live to tell the tale in “Freddy’s Dead: The Final Nightmare,” but she was directed by the man who brought this villain to life in “976-EVIL.” Tune in to hear all about making both of these horror films, her creepy crawly spider-filled death scene in “976-EVIL,” and what working with Robert Englund was like (both in front of and behind the camera).

Ep 117: Pearl's a Barbarian Sep 26, 2022

Show notes

Just when you thought you had seen it all in horror… two films come along that blow every trope out of the water. “Barbarian” offers surprise after surprise, along with one of the creepiest breastfeeding scenes ever. “Pearl” is filled with insanity, from an intimate encounter with a scarecrow to Mia Goth’s unforgettably unhinged performance.

Ep 116: Interview w/Amy Steel from "Friday the 13th Part 2" & "April Fool's Day" Sep 19, 2022

Show notes

As the first to outsmart a pre-hockey mask wearing Jason Voorhees, and the last to fall prey to Muffy St. John’s murderous prank, Amy Steel is the true definition of a “final girl.” Tune in to hear all about making “Friday the 13th Part 2” and “April Fool’s Day,” why she feels that her characters have resonated with horror fans for so long, and details on the original “F13 Pt 3” script that involved Ginny Field and finally revealed Paul’s fate.

Ep 115: Sorry, Invite Only Sep 12, 2022

Show notes

From a family reunion you don’t want to attend, to party crashers with not-so-pure intentions, the movies we discuss this week are all about invites gone wrong. “The Invitation” feels like a Hallmark romance… with fangs, blood, and murder, while “Who Invited Them” is uncomfortably effective for anyone who’s had to entertain strangers for way too long.

Ep 114: Interview w/Bob Heckman, Writer/Director of “Victim No More” Sep 05, 2022

Show notes

As a lifelong fan of the “Friday the 13th” franchise, it’s no wonder Bob Heckman created his own tribute film — complete with tons of callbacks to the existing movies. Tune in to hear all about the making of “Victim No More” and its recent premiere at Creature Feature Weekend, the horror stars who make special appearances in the film, and Bob’s friendship with some of the series’ favorite final girls.

Ep 113: Don’t Fall for This Orphan Aug 29, 2022

Show notes

Isabelle Fuhrman’s back, 13 years later, playing a YOUNGER version of the murderous Esther in “Orphan: First Kill.” How’s that possible? We break it all down for you along with the anxiety-inducing, sweaty palm-producing, survival thriller — “Fall.” Climbing a 2,000 ft. tower in the middle of nowhere without telling anyone where you are? What could go wrong? 🤷‍♂️
