Ep 54: Interview w/Andre Gower from “The Monster Squad” Jul 04, 2021

Show notes

Andre Gower was a young teenager when he played Sean, the leader of "The Monster Squad,” in this beloved 80s horror-comedy. Tune in to hear all about filming with such an eclectic cast, how an anniversary screening revealed the film’s cult following, and what led to creating his heartfelt documentary, “Wolfman’s Got Nards.”

Ep 53: The Stalker Must Babysit Jun 27, 2021

Show notes

Sometimes trailers don’t reveal how truly insane a movie will be — that’s the story behind the two thrillers we discuss this week. “Stalker” reminds viewers to make sure your webcam’s off when having a little alone time, while “Babysitter Must Die” proves that all you need is scout training to ward off home-invading, apocalyptic cultists.

Ep 52: The Devil Kept Me Awake Jun 20, 2021

Show notes

This week we discuss how Hollywood amped up the new Conjuring movie with tons of SFX and gorgeous actors playing the real-life players in “The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It.” We also fall in love with Gina Rodriguez’s performance in Netflix’s new Bird Box-esque thriller, “Awake” ... but not much else.

Ep 51: Interview w/Jill Whitlow from "Night of the Creeps" Jun 13, 2021

Show notes

If you don’t recognize Jill Whitlow by her sweet, endearing voice, you’ll remember her as the girl-next-door turned badass zombie fighter, Cynthia, in “Night of the Creeps.” Tune in to hear all about working with that iconic flamethrower, drinking until all hours with her co-stars, and the Friday the 13th fan film she’s about to film – "Victim No More."

Ep 50: Stay Quiet, Then Retreat! Jun 06, 2021

Show notes

A horror sequel that lives up to the original? A middle-of-nowhere survival flick that doesn’t feel overdone? Both movies we discuss this week are terrifying treats. Tune in to find out how “A Quiet Place Part II” remains truly scary despite its PG-13 rating, and why “The Retreat” (2021) is the perfect thriller to kick off pride month.

Ep 49: Interview w/Brandon Crane from "It" (1990) May 30, 2021

Show notes

As an original member of the Losers’ Club, Brandon Crane took on Pennywise in the 1990 “It” miniseries – an adaptation that still terrifies audiences to this day. Tune in to hear why the part of Ben Hanscom was so important to him, what Tim Curry and John Ritter were like on set, and how he scored a cameo in 2019’s “It Chapter Two.”

Ep 48: Spiraling Out the Window May 23, 2021

Show notes

Both thrillers we discuss this week had been on our radar since B.P. (Before Pandemic). “Spiral” attempts to revive the “Saw” series with clever/gory new traps and a copycat killer with an all-too-timely motive, while “The Woman in the Window” reminds everyone to invest in blinds or curtains, especially when living across from Amy Adams.

Ep 47: Interview w/Paula Marshall from "Hellraiser 3" & "Warlock 2" May 16, 2021

Show notes

She battled Pinhead and became a Cenobite in “Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth,” then faced off against the evil Warlock in “Warlock: The Armageddon.” Tune in to hear the effervescent Paula Marshall tell us all about filming these early 90s horror sequels, her extensive career in TV, and that incredibly infamous scene she did in “Nip/Tuck.”

Ep 46: A Boy's Best Friend is His Mother (featuring our Moms) May 09, 2021

Show notes

What better way to celebrate Mother’s Day than by discussing this week’s movies with our Moms! First we unpack Netflix's “Things Heard & Seen” (and whether sex on the dirt is sanitary) with Phyllis Emert (Matt’s Mom). Then we chat about “Separation” with Darlene Murdock (Tim’s Mom), who is definitely not afraid of puppets.

Ep 45: Interview w/Catherine Mary Stewart from "Night of the Comet" May 02, 2021

Show notes

Although she played the girl next door in movies like “The Last Starfighter” and “Weekend at Bernie’s,” we remember Catherine Mary Stewart as the tough, zombie-fighting Regina Belmont in “Night of the Comet.” Tune in to hear all about filming this “horror-omedy,” which scream queen she first auditioned with, and what it was like filming a love scene with Zach Galligan in “Psychic.”
