Poltergeist
March 11, 2021 05:00 - 1 hour - 71.6 MBHey Scaredy Cats. The movie we’re about to cover was definitely one my sleep-deprived parents would never have let me watch. It’s spawned a few sequels, a remake and a tv series. The Chicago Film Critics Association ranked it as the 20th scariest film ever made. It also has a lot of tragedy surrounding it, leading some people to think it’s cursed. Add to that controversy over who ACTUALLY directed it and you’ve got yourself a legendary horror movie. It’s time to meet some noisy ghosts ...
Host
February 25, 2021 20:00 - 1 hour - 43.5 MBHey Scaredy Cats! It’s now been over a year since COVID-19 changed the world we live in. People have been physically isolated and had to find new ways to communicate and stay connected to family and friends. Zoom became a HUGE deal. One of the best things about movies, horror in particular, is the way that they can take current events and make them into a something remarkable. In this episode we’re going to talk about a movie that was shot entirely in quarantine. It’s a movie about so...
Galentine's Day Women In Horror Roundtable
February 13, 2021 05:00 - 1 hour - 49.3 MBGalentine's Day is only the best day of the year (ok, second best, because, you know, Halloween), so we brought together some of our favourite ladies, Ariana, Crystal, Katie, and Rosemary for a Women in Horror Roundtable. It's like Lilith Fair, but with more blood and guts. Check out the video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/lexVyYIEXXI Don't forget to subscribe, like, and comment!

Promising Young Woman
February 11, 2021 07:00 - 1 hour - 76.4 MBTW: this episode contains references to multiple forms of trauma [SA, MH, r*pe, violence, mention of su*c*de, misogyny) and could be triggering to some people. Hey Scaredy Cats. This was a tough one - Promising Young Woman deals with heavy subject matter and this episode will be inherently graphic as we discuss rape, misogyny, violence and suicide. This is not your ordinary Scaredy Cats episode and while it was an important conversation to have, it wasn't an easy conversation. Pr...
2020 Highlight Reel
January 23, 2021 22:00 - 1 hour - 48.1 MBHey Scaredy Cats! We're back! Normally, we take a horror movie, get some horror buffs to dissect it with us and break it down, every slash, every scream, every jump scare. For this episode, we’re going to do something a little different. Living through 2020 often felt like we were living through a horror movie. Despite all that was horrible and terrifying about 2020, there were some great things as well. With that in mind, I’m going to talk about my top 20 horror highlights of the yea...
Black Christmas
December 24, 2020 07:00 - 2 hours - 99.2 MBHey Scaredy Cats! What movies are on your festive must-watch list? One of mine is White Christmas – I can’t get enough of it, no matter how many times I have seen it. Wait, that’s not a horror movie, you say? You’d be right, but the movie we’re about to cover with returning guest host Samantha and newbie Jessica has a title that is a cheeky reference to White Christmas. It’s also one of my holiday go-to’s and one of the progenitors of the slasher genre - try watching Halloween after thi...
Krampus
December 12, 2020 20:00 - 1 hour - 74.6 MBHey Scaredy Cats! It’s that time of year when you better watch out, you better not cry… well, you probably know the rest. But during the festive season, there are other things to worry about than whether you’ve made the naughty or the nice list (maybe you’re like our guest hosts who are a little bit of column a, a little bit of column b, stuck in Santa Purgatory if you will). You do not want a visit from the horned figure known as Krampus or any of his evil little minions, so tune in as w...
Tremors
November 30, 2020 01:00 - 1 hour - 55.5 MBHey Scaredy Cats!

Halloween
October 29, 2020 23:00 - 2 hours - 98.4 MBHey Scaredy Cats. We’re going to talk about the film that launched a franchise, created an icon (or two), has been selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress, has been voted the fifth scariest film of all time by Entertainment Weekly, and has been included among the "1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die", edited by Steven Schneider. Light your jack o’lanterns, grab your popcorn, and settle in. It’s Halloween. Follow us on socia...

October 01, 2020 17:00 - 1 hour - 66.1 MBHey Scaredy Cats! Thanks for joining us as we kick off the spookiest month of the year with our awesome guest hosts, Jenn, Lauren and Matt.

It’s been a rainy summer and a group of friends sit around a fire when one of them challenges the rest to each w...

Psycho
September 04, 2020 05:00 - 2 hours - 86.4 MBHey Scaredy Cats! What do casaba melons, chocolate syrup, Oedipal complexes and the first toilet ever flushed onscreen in an American movie have in common? Let's take a little road trip from Arizona to California to find out. We'll probably stop for the night at a quiet little place called the Bates Motel. Have you met Norman? He's going to take care of you. It's time to talk Alfred Hitchcock's classic, Psycho. We're joined by veteran Scaredy Cat, Samantha and a Scaredy Cat newbie, St...
