July 09, 2021 13:00 - 1 hour - 91 MB

The boys from ADH stopped by to see who’s got the best horror movie knowledge! They also dropped a fun little surprise that they’re cooking up

July 02, 2021 13:00 - 1 hour - 93.8 MB

Our first female guest and she's totally kick ass! If you haven't seen Stan Against Evil, you need to check it out! Deborah Baker Jr., who plays Stan's daughter, Denise, came to hang out with us today and we got some behind the scenes intel on the sets and cast of Stan...which was awesome.

Prom Night - 2008

June 25, 2021 23:09 - 52 minutes - 49 MB

Not really an exact remake to it's namesake, this Prom Night takes a different approach than the 1980's version, which can be a bad or good thing. Why wasn't Usher used for the Prom DJ? It would've leveled the movie up! That is not Gabrielle Union you're looking at, it's Dana Davis! But she channels Gab U. like you wouldn't believe! Alls we know is Brittany Snow's character is never going to recover from this...

Prom Night - 1980

June 18, 2021 18:08 - 1 hour - 67.2 MB

Don’t have evil children. At least that’s the moral of the story we got out of it


Carrie - 2013

June 11, 2021 13:00 - 1 hour - 66.5 MB

The first movie remake we’ve noted as directed first by a guy then remade and directed by a female! How does her work hold up to the original? And if you thought the character of Tommy couldn’t get any more endearing, you were absolutely incorrect. Guys, takes notes


Carrie - 1976

June 04, 2021 13:00 - 57 minutes - 53.1 MB

"They're all gonna laugh at you!", we sure hope so Mrs. White, cuz that's what we do! This episode we explore the high school horror of Carrie. A young outcast girl who finds out she's got a big secret! We also want to shout out to Poltergeist, he makes horror movie themed rap songs, which are pretty cool. Check him out on Spotify (Poltergeist) and follow him on Instagram (@Poltergeist_OD)!  

I Know What You Did Last Summer - 1997

May 28, 2021 13:00 - 1 hour - 73.1 MB

It's not Summer quite yet, but we're in the mood and getting pumped for it with this classic teen slasher! All your favorite 90s/00s teens in one movie, what more could you ask for? Also, it's the movie where Freddie Prinze, Jr. and Sarah Michelle Gellar met (so many names...). It's a fun romp with a fish hook, but quite a few plotholes that we were able to find. But what slasher movies doesn't have a plot flaw here and there?  Still unsure about what this town's parade schedule is, and we ...

Ready Or Not - 2019

May 21, 2021 13:00 - 53 minutes - 49.8 MB

Ready or Not, here we come!  This week we're looking at Ready Or Not, an evil twist on the classic game of Hide & Seek! One of our favorite Final Girls, Grace is not necessarily to be f$&ked with, don’t let the wedding dress fool you.

Fried Barry - 2020

May 14, 2021 13:00 - 1 hour - 64.3 MB

Remember way back when, when we interviewed a guy named Ryan Kruger about his movie Fried Barry? Well that movie has now been released in the US on Shudder and we can finally give it the old Horror N Heels treatment it deserves.  If you're keeping track of ways we don't want to die or things we don't want done to us, add being injected into a human body via the peen. What orifices are we okay with being injected into? You have to listen to find out! 

Idle Hands - 1999 Special Guest: Brent Leger

May 07, 2021 13:00 - 1 hour - 111 MB

A first time viewing for us and our guest! None of us knew what to expect and, well at least we had the same feelings about it. It's definitely a stoner comedy, which we were not expecting, because no one ever talks about it (however that should've been a clue). Much much more comedy than horror, at least it gave us that 90s nostalgia we all love.  Brent Leger is joining us this week. He is one of the masterminds behind the Shudder Horror Fan Group on Facebook, where your lovely co-hostesses...

The Amityville Horror 2005- Live Watch Along episode

May 01, 2021 10:35 - 1 hour - 82.8 MB

You read that right guys!!! Gen and Elicia watched this movie in real time together and commented as we were watching. So cue up the 2005 watch a shirtless Ryan Reynolds battle an evil house with us.  --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

The Amityville Horror 2005 - Live Watch Along episode

May 01, 2021 10:35 - 1 hour - 80.3 MB

You read that right guys!!! Gen and Elicia watched this movie in real time together and commented as we were watching. So cue up the 2005 watch a shirtless Ryan Reynolds battle an evil house with us. 

The Amityville Horror - 1979

April 16, 2021 13:00 - 1 hour - 66.3 MB

How many flies does it take to get you to leave a room? Apparently it’s a gazillion and one for Father Delaney. Good for him for sticking to his commitment. We would’ve bounced. Also, Elicia gives us a little true crime backstory on the Amityville house, which is in her home state.

Final Destination 5 - Special Guest: Arlen Escarpeta

April 09, 2021 16:00 - 2 hours - 111 MB

What an "ending" to a series (we know they are actually making another one), talk about coming full circle.  Arlen Escarpeta was kind enough to drop by the show this week, and man did we have a good time! You may know him as "Lawrence" from Friday The 13th (2009) or maybe "Prince Ess" from The Magicians, or more importantly to this episode:  "Nathan" from Final Destination 5.  Obviously, even though this episode is technically about FD5, we had to circle back to his appearance in FT13 amon...

Final Destination 2 - 2003

April 02, 2021 13:00 - 1 hour - 81 MB

Welcome our new Podcast Pals, RL and JC from Brownmint Horror Podcast to the show! Our first meet & greet with these two fellas from "Slashville", TN.   Tramp stamps, whip cream boobies, horseshoe rings and everything in between....  Oh yeah, and we're talking about Final Destination 2, the movie that has ruined driving behind log trucks on the freeway forever. RL and JC bring the gripping questions and even challenge us to a little Horror Trivia.    Somehow we got through the show without Ge...

Final Destination - 2000

March 30, 2021 03:13 - 1 hour - 63.8 MB

How do you beat Death’s design?? Another first for Elicia. The start of an early 2000s franchise classic. It’s basically the horror equivalent to the Fast & Furious in that they started our pretty legit then just got more ridiculous every movie. But the deaths are so fun how can you not love it?

Leprechaun In The Hood...or Origins?

March 19, 2021 13:00 - 1 hour - 57.4 MB

Who knows what this episode is about... we're all Leprechauned out. We will not be offended if you skip this episode. We thought we were watching to different movies, it's a hot mess. If you would like to skip this week, just know that we'll be starting the Final Destination series next week!

Leprechaun 2 - 1994

March 14, 2021 21:48 - 53 minutes - 85.6 MB

The Leprechaun is back and he want a wife.  Will he get one?? Will the kill count be higher?? Has someone tried to steal his precious gold??? Listen to Gen and Elicia talk all about it on today's episode. 

Leprechaun 2

Leprechaun - 1993

March 05, 2021 17:31 - 52 minutes - 48.8 MB

Never mess with a Leprechaun’s gold. Yet another cautionary tale to just give the monster what they’re asking for, or better yet, don’t touch it in the first place!

Coming Soon - 2021 Releases

February 27, 2021 03:59 - 1 hour - 61 MB

We honestly couldn’t bring ourselves to talk about either choices we came up with this week. Boring AF! So, we decided to talk about movies coming out this year that we’re excited about! **Spoiler Alert** We do a little spoiling for the following movies: Ready Or Not, You’re Next & Halloween Resurrection!

Doctor Sleep - 2019

February 19, 2021 21:25 - 1 hour - 79.7 MB

This week we follow grown up Danny Torrance, played by the VERY attractive Mr. Ewan McGregor, gotta love the eye candy! More tips on how NOT to kill us and our wishes for how we die. What do you feed people who eat souls?  Long life in exchange for a most certainly shitty death? No thank you. " *Next week we will be watching Gretel and Hansel, available on Prime and Hulu.  **Apologies for some of the bad sounds, (that was our fault during recording, not Fred's) but it's better than my ridicul...

My Bloody Valentine - 1981 & 2009

February 12, 2021 20:28 - 1 hour - 81.5 MB

Happy V-Day Weekend! Yes, we are talking about My Bloody Valentine this week, cuz we're basic like that. We are talking about both the 1981 version and the 2009 remake starring Kerr Smith and Jensen Ackles.  Neither of us had seen either movie, and we were NOT looking forward to it, but we were pleasantly surprised. This is a fun slasher for people who can appreciate a creative kill or two. Dying naked is a terrible way to go, and we learned screenwriters have no ass.  Check out our Instagr...

The Shining - 1980

February 05, 2021 14:00 - 1 hour - 73.6 MB

It's Gen's turn for a first! Another classic highly revered as one of the greatest movies, horror or not. It's winter time, it's cold, there's no one around for miles...we're actually talking about the lockdown, but that' why this movies is very timely for us to watch.  Honestly, the entire situation could've been avoided had Jack said "No" when he heard "Indian burial ground", nothing good ever comes from building on an ancient Indian burial ground.  This is also a good example of why one sh...

The Thing - 2011

January 29, 2021 14:00 - 54 minutes - 50.8 MB

The last of our The Thing Trilogy! Elicia barely survived, but she made it! Kate Lloyd (Mary E. Winstead) is Ellen Ripley re-incarnated and she's a bad ass! Is she an underrated, overlooked Final Girl? Might be our new favorite. We discuss the flight instinct differences for certain ethnicities.  Lessons Learned:  1. Remember, it's always acceptable to "Nope" the f*%ck out of any shady situation, including a scientist with a vague mission in the middle of a frozen tundra.   2. Don't ever go a...

The Thing - 1982

January 22, 2021 17:40 - 53 minutes - 49.5 MB

This week we popped Elicia's "John Carpenter's The Thing" cherry! Did she love it? Did she hate it? Tune in to find out... As you know, we are die-hard fans of special effects, and this is still one of the best uses of it for a horror movie to this day. The Thing was the highest budgeted horror film at the time. The kills are like nothing that had ever been seen before and it was a huge failure at the box office. Critics said it looked "phony" and it was too gory (If only they could see what ...

The Thing - 1951

January 08, 2021 18:26 - 41 minutes - 38.8 MB

Happy New Year Horror Fam! We're kicking off 2021 with a wintery classic, "The Thing From Another World" from 1951. Even though it's pretty slow, and not very scary for our time, it definitely inspired John Carpenter to take a swing at it and boy did he! This is the blueprint for, in my (Gen's) opinion, one of the scariest horror movie to come out of the 80s.  If you're not into classic films, this may not be your cup of tea, the pacing is definitely hard to get into. But again, it's a classi...

Christmas Vacation - 1989

December 25, 2020 14:00 - 1 hour - 88.7 MB

MERRY CHRISTMAS, HOLY SHIT!  The Griswold family Christmas is a horrifying experience if ever there was one. Ellen Griswold is a saint for the shit she puts up with. She must be on lithium, because she keeps her cool the entire time. This family as a whole is tolerable, other than Clark, who is just a selfish asshole. Audrey sticks by her dad when her grandmother tries to put him down and Rusty is basically the man of the house since his father is a bumbling buffoon. Seriously, Rusty doesn't ...

Krampus - 2015

December 18, 2020 23:59 - 1 hour - 64.5 MB

It's most wonderful time, to be feared!  There'll be families hosting and children for roasting and freezing to death in the snow! One of Gen's favorite Christmas horror movies, Krampus is on deck this week. Elicia is a Krampus Virgin so this was a fun cherry to pop!  Oh joy, the extended family is coming to dinner! This family alone is a true nightmare before Krampus even enters the scene. Max agrees as he's the one who ends up giving up on Christmas and unknowingly  summons the "Shadow o...

"Black Christmas" (or "The Skulls IV") - 2019

December 11, 2020 14:00 - 1 hour - 102 MB

The only redeeming factor for having to watch this movie was we got to talk shit about it with Matt & Drew. Had they called it "The Skulls IV", this movie would've had a less cheese-grater-to-the-brain feel to it and been only slightly easier to digest. Still entirely too preachy, but at least it would've fit with the overall themes of it's predecessors. This feels like a trap! You go in expecting one thing, and you end up with something else entirely.  Don't bother watching it, this episode...

Black Christmas - 2006

December 04, 2020 14:00 - 1 hour - 72.9 MB

There's no way we could get through these two remakes alone, so we invited Matt & Drew from The Post Credit Podcast to come join us, cuz, you know, misery loves company. Our first guest spot was on The Post Credit and we took on Thirteen Ghosts with them, go check that out if you're not too wasted in preparation for this episode.    This week we're talking about the 2006 version of Black Christmas. If you could make it through the movie, you can make it through this episode. They could've at ...

Black Christmas - 1974

November 28, 2020 00:27 - 1 hour - 71.4 MB

This was almost the movie that broke us, but we powered through! One of Elicia's favorite horror films and Gen was bored.  We definitely agree that neither of us would've gotten away with talking to our mothers the way Barb did. Phil is a national treasure, and the House Mother is our spirit animal. And as always, cats get you killed. 

Thankskilling - Writer/Director/Turkie Jordan Downey

November 20, 2020 14:00 - 1 hour - 77.4 MB

“Gobble, gobble, mother f&$ker!” With those words a Thanksgiving horror movie was born. Jordan Downey hangs with us and gives us the inside scoop on all the magic that was stuffed into this low-budget, cult classic production. A ridiculously bad, but fun horror spoof with a cornucopia of vulgarity, outrageous kills and good clean family fun! Just kidding, this movie is NOT for (most) families. Although Jordan’s family was cool enough to help make the film, which we give them props for! Disc...

Freddy Vs. Jason - 13th Ep. on The 13th!

November 13, 2020 16:52 - 1 hour - 78.2 MB

Happy Friday The 13th! Our 13th episode on the 13th, that’s gotta be good luck, right? Since Nightmare On Elm Street is Gen’s fave, and Elicia loves Friday The 13th, and we’ve already talked about both, we thought it’d be fitting to discuss the ultimate horror match-up of Freddy Vs. Jason! We talk about directors that didn’t happen, why Betsy Palmer didn’t make her cameo and what kind of bed was that guy sleeping on??

Interview with “Nightmare Cinema” Producer Joe Russo

November 06, 2020 14:00 - 1 hour - 86.3 MB

We got to have a little chat with one of the producers of the Shudder exclusive, Nightmare Cinema! This fun anthology addresses almost every fear you could imagine, and has some sweet horror homages. Joe gives us some insight into the horror movie making process and talks about what it’s like to be mistaken for the Director of Avengers. You’re lucky we were able to get this episode down to an hour and a half, cuz we definitely held him hostage for 2+ hours. Disclaimer: The views and opinion...

Halloween - 1978

October 30, 2020 13:00 - 1 hour - 65.8 MB

Ahhhhh!! The only way to cleanse our palettes of the last cinematic disaster was to end with the original, so that’s what we did, in case you were confused by the old switcharoo we pulled. What can we say? It’s the OG John Carpenter film with Jamie Lee Curtis, the OG Scream Queen! Michael Meyers was one of the first Slasher monsters to hit the big screen and will always be a legend. Spoiler Alert: WE LIKE THIS ONE!

Halloween - 2007

October 23, 2020 17:26 - 57 minutes - 53.4 MB

Probably the least fun show we’ll ever have. What can you say about the worst remake in the history of horror cinema? You will not change our minds. But if you’d like to try, go ahead and send us an email, tweet or carrier pigeon (since that’s what you use, because you obviously live in a cave if you enjoyed this train wreck.) Luckily we edited out the awkward silences. Although those were eerily more entertaining than the actual movie. If you haven’t seen, don’t feel like you need to just to...

Interview with “Bad Parts” author, Brandon McNulty

October 16, 2020 13:00 - 1 hour - 103 MB

“For decades the residents of Hollow Hills, Pennsylvania, have offered their diseased and injured body parts to a creek demon named Snare. In return, Snare rewards its Traders with healthy replacement parts. There's only one catch: if Traders leave town, their new parts vanish forever.” This episode we’re hanging out with Brandon McNulty, the author of supernatural thriller, Bad Parts. He gives us a little insight to his inspiration for this story and how it came to retail bookshelves! As a...

Fright Night - 2011

October 09, 2020 13:00 - 43 minutes - 40.2 MB

Now here’s a vampire we wouldn’t mind sucking on our necks. Colin Farrell would need zero effort to get invited into our home, vampire or not. Also an appearance by our favorite Doctor. This remake answers a few questions left to figure out it in the original and makes good use of Toni Collette cast as the mom. BTW how do we get David Tennant on our show?

Fright Night - 1985

October 02, 2020 20:21 - 42 minutes - 67.4 MB

Don’t Tell Mom, A Sexy Vampire Moved In Next Door! At least that’s what we would’ve called it. Has a nice ring to it, yeah? Boy has girl, won’t give it up, girl meets vampire and become sex kitten. There’s other stuff that happens too.

House of Wax - 2005

September 25, 2020 16:51 - 59 minutes - 136 MB

Soooo many reasons to pack their shit and go home, yet this sexually-fueled, rambunctious bunch of teens decide to stay at their makeshift campground and continue to make bad choices. The WB (now known as “The CW”, was kind enough to loan out a couple of actors from its stable, which makes for some decent eye candy. Thankfully, the only thing this remake has in common with the original is the name. **The sound ghosts got into the mic this episode. We’ll try to have them busted by the next one.

House of Wax - Original (Part 1)

September 18, 2020 19:36 - 41 minutes - 38.2 MB

Our first 1950s horror movie: House of Wax starring Vincent Price and a young, strapping Charles Bronson. This movie has everything from some smart Final Girl moves to good old fashioned chauvinism to cheesy 3D gags, but is it worth the watch?
