  • The Deep House and Lake Lanier
    Apr 23 2024

    Welcome back to Nothing Scarier Podcast!!

    We are back, healthy and ready to talk about all things terrifying!! This week, we dive deep into the horror of The Deep House. What could be worse then being trapped in a hunted house? What if that house was at the bottom of a lake?! After the movie, Courtney brings us the history and haunts of the popular lake Lanier. I think the Nothing Scarier crew will pass on any waterslides any time soon.

  • The Happening and Lethal Plants
    Apr 2 2024

    Welcome back to Nothing Scarier Podcast!

    We are back at it with yet another M.Night movie, and another week of us wondering exactly what was going on with horror in the early 2000s. First, we watch The Happening - a misunderstood masterpiece or a horrible swing and a miss? Then, Cayla brings us a little closer to never going outside by introducing three of the world's most lethal plants. Please always remember - if you don't know what it is, never use it as outdoor toilet paper.

    Welcome back to Nothing Scarier Podcast!!

    Fresh off our spring break and back with a pyroclastic bang! This week we watched Dante’s Peak. Then Courtney brings us the true and terrifying history of Mount St. Helens. Lava, acid lakes and a rogue scientist - our movie has it all - and the true story behind the 1980s eruption just might have you second guessing that trip to Yellowstone.
