    Anaconda (1997) – SSP259
    Apr 15 2026
    Wow… this week on the Scary Spirits Podcast, we’re sliding back into the jungle for a seriously wild celebration of the 1997 cult creature feature Anaconda—yeah, that Anaconda—which slithered into theaters on April 11, 1997, starring Jennifer Lopez and a whole lot of oversized snake energy. It’s one of those late‑’90s horror-adventure movies that just makes you lean back and go, “Wow… they really don’t make ’em like this anymore.” Join Karen and Greg as they kick back, talk man‑eating serpents, jungle paranoia, and all the gloriously over-the-top moments that helped make Anaconda a staple of ’90s horror films. And because it’s Scary Spirits, they’re pairing the episode with a dangerously fun, themed “Blue Anaconda” cocktail that’s as bold and unforgettable as the movie itself. So grab a drink, hit play, and wrap yourself around this laid‑back, laugh-filled deep dive into one of the most memorable creature horror movies of the decade. Wow… trust us—you’re gonna want to listen.

    Wake Wood (2009) – SSP258
    Apr 8 2026
    This week on the Scary Spirits Podcast, we beckon you into the shadowed heart of modern Hammer Horror as we commemorate the recent U.S. release anniversary of the 2009 folk‑horror gem Wake Wood, unveiled stateside on March 25, 2011. A film steeped in ancient ritual, creeping dread, and the terrible cost of defying death, Wake Wood stands as a chilling reminder that some doors, once opened, can never be closed. Join your devoted hosts, Karen and Greg, as they dissect this unsettling tale of grief and resurrection—exploring its ties to classic Hammer traditions, its atmospheric Irish setting, and the sinister folklore that pulses beneath every frame. Expect thoughtful analysis, reverent admiration, and a measured descent into the darker corners of the human soul. To honor the film’s brooding Irish roots, the discussion is accompanied by a specially crafted themed cocktail: the Irish Wolfhound—bold, refined, and not to be underestimated. So pour yourself a glass, draw the curtains tight, and prepare to walk willingly into the woods… for Scary Spirits invites you to confront the horror that waits beyond the firelight.

  • The Birthday (2004) – SSP257

    The Birthday (2004) – SSP257
    Mar 25 2026
    What’s scarier than getting older? Realizing the party was never meant for you. This week on the Scary Spirits Podcast, we celebrate Karen’s birthday the only way that feels right—by diving headfirst into the bizarre, chaotic, and wildly unpredictable 2004 cult horror film The Birthday, starring Corey Feldman. What begins as a simple birthday party spirals into something far stranger, funnier, and more uncomfortable than expected… and that’s exactly how we like it. Join hosts Karen and Greg as they unpack this under‑seen cult classic, exploring its surreal tone, off‑kilter performances, and the creeping sense that something is very wrong beneath the frosting and balloons. It’s horror, it’s comedy, it’s confusion—and it’s a reminder that birthdays can be terrifying when the rules of reality quietly slip away. To toast the occasion, the hosts sip on a specially crafted “Happy Birthday Martini,” because nothing pairs with existential dread quite like a well‑mixed cocktail. If you love cult horror films, strange party movies, Corey Feldman performances, and a horror podcast that laughs nervously while staring into the abyss, this episode of Scary Spirits is your invitation. Just remember… not everyone leaves the party the same way they arrived. Happy Birthday Martini • 1 tsp white sugar• 1 tsp fresh lemon juice• 1 oz pomegranate juice• 2 oz vodka• 3 ice cubes• 2 strips lemon peel Instructions: Add sugar to a martini glassAdd lemon juice, pomegranate juice, and vodka.
