Recorded January 2024. We apologize for the unexpected hiatus, crazy how life happens in all its glory and horror. Speaking of real life, in this episode we surprise each other with a film whose backstory or inspiration is derived from disturbing and very true events. We recount the facts of the story and compare how they were adapted into the films. Christine presents on Wolf Creek (2005) and Carissa covers Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) in this first installment.

SPOOKY SEASON IS UPON US and we challenge you to watch a frightful flick for each day of October! Follow along with us as we curate a list of our favorite horror films to watch during the season. We include a mix of classic creeps, hair-raising haunts, and new nightmares. Plus a little tap dance number from our very own Bella, Christine's Pomeranian.

WARNING: This episode contains spoilers. The latest installment in the Evil Dead franchise brings the Necronomicon out of the forest and into the flats. Throwing a single mother of 3 into its hellish grips, Evil Dead Rise (2023) offers a fresh expansion on the cult classic. Supporting our general reactions to the film, we focus on its place within the series and the exciting new prospects it presents.

With a huge period for horror concluding, we finally share our top 10 horror flicks of the year. While comparing our very subjective lists, we also follow up with some honorable mentions and our disagreeable picks. Now let’s hack our way into a strong 2023 new year!

To follow up our celebration of our esteemed scream queens, this episode shines the spotlight on our favorite “scream kings”! A term and concept much less traversed in horror discourse, we wanted to take a moment to revisit some of the genre’s unforgettable masculine counterparts. Often helming the villainous role in horror films, others the victims, there are some notable actors that deliver particularly cherished performances and here we crown our personal favorites!

And we're back!!! We are taking a look at the concept of our beloved "scream queens" in horror history. Touching on the origins of this term and discussing what embodies a scream queen in our books, we compile a list of our current title-holders. Our list includes both classic and newer additions, some that are obvious, some less so and we invite you to share YOUR favorite scream queens with us.

Following X’s slasher inspired debut, Pearl (dir. Ti West) embraces an unusual style for the horror genre opting for a more classic Hollywood take in this prequel. Christine and Carissa explore how the film’s particular style influenced the telling and impact of the story and its characters. Take a seat, grab a glass of milk or lemonade, and enjoy our reflection on this Technicolor melodrama nightmare. And apologies for our resident werewolf, Max.
