Episode 7: Are You Serious?

In Episode 7, we celebrate the worst moves in horror cinema — the jaw-dropping, head-scratching decisions that turn minor scares into fatal mistakes. We skip the tired tropes (no faceplants while fleeing, no “merciful” finishes) and dig into the gloriously illogical choices that feel impossibly human: opening that locked door, splitting up for no reason, trusting the creepy stranger, or ignoring every red flag until it’s too late. Join us for sharp takes, guilty-laugh commentary, and a ranking of the most spectacularly dumb moments that turned characters into cautionary tales. Tune in and learn what not to do when the lights go out.   MOVIES MENTIONED: Speak No Evil A Quiet Place Jeepers Creepers Oculus Eden Lake The Descent  The Mist Jaws & Jaws 2 The Mothman Prophecies  Wolf Creek Evil Dead (2013) Pet Sematary (1989)   This podcast is intended for commentary, criticism, and educational purposes only.

Episode 6: All In The Family

In Episode 6, we dive deep into the terrifying world of psychotic families in horror cinema — where murder is a family tradition and chaos is just part of the household routine. From twisted clans who lure victims into their homes for sadistic games of torture and terror, to backwoods maniacs delivering brutal hack-and-slash mayhem deep in the wilderness, no family gathering is safe in this episode. Join us as we explore some of horror’s most unforgettable murderous bloodlines, the disturbing dynamics that make them so terrifying, and the films that turned family bonding into a nightmare. Grab your flashlight, lock your doors, and remember… sometimes the scariest thing isn’t the monster — it’s the entire family.   MOVIES MENTIONED:  The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (including some prequels and sequels) House of 1000 Corpses The Devil's Rejects The Hills Have Eyes (originals and remakes) Wrong Turn (series) The Others Speak No Evil  Goodnight Mommy Get Out Honorable Mentions:  House of Wax (2005), You're Next, Ready or Not, The Shining, The Burbs (1989)   This podcast is intended for commentary, criticism, and educational purposes only.
