EP 35: Maniac (1981)

It's been too long! Let's snuggle up in the cozy maternalistic arms of horror with this discussion about a film featuring a multi weapon-wielding "maniac" with mommy issues. You'll never look at mannequins the same way again. And as always, all hail Tom Savini.

EP 34: Cargo (2013) LIVE at Woolly Mammoth Theatre

Hosted by Laugh Index Theatre, it's LIT Fest 2018 in Washington, D.C., where comedians from across the country get together to perform various comedy acts in our Nation's Capital! One Final Scare was lucky enough to be invited back for their second year, this time to open for Minki's sketch comedy team. Hear them try to be as funny as possible to make their audience feel like they got their money's worth since only half of them said they were into horror when Tracy polled them with ...

EP 33: A Quiet Place (2018)

The OFS hosts have talked about it before: women are usually portrayed as lesser individuals in film than their male counter parts. They're usually crazy and often victims, particularly in the horror genre. And with more recent conversations being had regarding white washing and the need for Hollywood to cast more minorities in leading roles, the hope is that films become more diverse, both in terms of the stories being told and talent being cast. However, another group that sees ev...

EP 32: Downrange (2017)

What is transportation horror, you ask? Well, it's a subgenre of horror that Tracy and Minki give a proper name to in order to best describe movies that don't end well for people traveling by planes, trains or automobiles. And funny enough, it seems Ryuhei Kitamura, the director of this episode's film, just looooooves creating films which put unsuspecting victims on a road to their certain demise. This particular movie will take you back to your college days, where you hitch a ride...

EP 31: The Eyes of My Mother (2016)

Your parents can really screw you up in your youth. Add in a traumatic experience in your formative years and you could really be headed for dark times. But, can this darkness lead to you having a propensity for torture and murder or is evil something you are born with? Tune in to hear the hosts discuss this modernized black and white family drama, which feels something like a Texas Chain Saw Massacre made by Alfred Hitchcock, as they dissect the main character's journey from normal...

EP 30: A Tale of Two Sisters (2003) - Celebrating Women in Horror

Yep, it's a long episode, but this story is just 'oh so good!' The hosts have so much to discuss with this mysterious, twist-turning, deeply sad family melodrama turned ghost story. Podcast fans gave a slew of great film recommendations, but Tracy and Minki chose one fan's wish for them to review this 2003 Korean horror film. It was a perfect pick since it features females as the main characters during this special month...that's right, it's Women in Horror Month! The two young act...

EP 29: Mayhem (2017)

Sick of the daily grind? Over office politics? Tired of climbing the corporate ladder? Wish you could stop pretending to be so polite and lay the smack down on a coworker? If so, this movie is for you. More of a violent comedy full of satire rather than a traditional horror film, Tracy, and Minki both appreciate the dog eat dog plot, having both worked in the corporate world, though, they both also agree on the lame moments and ridiculousness of it all. Starring the Walking Dead's, ...

EP 28: The Living Dead Girl (1982)

Happy one year anniversary to Minki and Tracy as cohosts of this podcast and Happy New Year to all you OFS listeners! Or as the French say it, "Bonne année!" Take a trip back into horror film history as the hosts talk about how the French were a little behind other countries' horror output up until French film director, actor, novelist and pornography filmmaker Jean Rollin released a plethora of exploitation vampire-based films in the 70's and early 80's. This poetic film about the ...

EP 27: Better Watch Out (2017)

"He sees you when you're sleeping. He knows when you're awake. He knows if you've been bad or good. So, be good for goodness sake." Even when Bruce Springsteen sings it, it's a creepy song, right? Well, there's an even creepier plot in this weird Australian-American holiday horror thriller. But, beyond an exchange of horror-themed gifts between the co-hosts, this movie is as close to Christmas as Tracy's getting this year, as she Humbugs her way through the end of December. Check ou...

EP 26: Sam Was Here (2016)

They're baaaaack! After a long run of special episodes, Minki and Tracy get back to their original format and discuss this mysterious horror thriller that piqued Tracy's interest because of the name, but piqued Minki's interest because it was only 75 minutes long and these two recorded late on a Sunday. No time for two hour movies tonight! Things you'll learn in this episode: 1. Tracy misses the days of pagers even though her mom was the only one that ever paged her 2. A cool band f...

Special: 48 Hour Film Project - Horror Short Competition
