Send us a text Two cult horror films with identical titles (kind of), going head-to-head! Classic 1980s heavy metal horror, with appearances by Gene Simmons and Ozzy Osbourne, versus a 2007 horror anthology that became beloved against all odds! Which movie takes the Trick or/'r Treat crown??? Happy Halloween! It's Trick or Treat (1986) vs. Trick 'r Treat (2007)!

Send us a text As an adult, your common sense usually does more to protect you than it did when you were a teenager. But holding a mystical hand, seeing a spirit, and then inviting it into yourself? Hey, I get that there's peer pressure and all, but I really hope that I had seen enough horror movies as a teen to know that would be a terrible idea. And as an adult, there's no way in hell that I'm doing that. But these are teenagers, and they just do things a little differently in Australia, an...

Send us a text It's time for the 6th anniversary episode of the podcast! And don't you think that it's about damn time that we watch a Reba McEntire movie? What's that? Oh, sure. Kevin Bacon is in this, and Fred Ward, too. Yeah, the dad from Family Ties, he's here, and the girl with the shaky Jell-O from Jurassic Park. But we're obviously here for the Queen of Country, Reba! And giant underground worm monsters. Do you feel that??? It's TREMORVERSARY time, with Tremors (1990)!

Send us a text When you're young, you dream about being older so that you can do certain things. When you're old, you dream about being young, and doing the things that you used to do. But at some point, don't you just reach an age where you're too tired to think about being young again? With The Substance (2024), there are two bodies, sure, but you're still one. And can your really trust that younger, better version of yourself?

Send us a text You've just married into this obscenely wealthy family, who made their fortune creating and developing games. What you did not expect is that, due to family tradition, at midnight on your wedding night, you are required to play a game. Will that game be chess? Perhaps Old Maid? Or will you actually be fighting for your life? Ready or Not (2019), here we come!

Send us a text Names can be a challenge sometimes. You're assigned this name, and maybe it's difficult to pronounce, but it's not even your fault! But with Quetzalcoatl, it probably doesn't matter. It's just going to eat your head and move on. It's fine if you just call it Q (1982)!

Send us a text The English language is causing an issue in a small Canadian town. And I know what you're thinking, but no, it's not because they only speak French. There actually seems to be a vocabularial virus of some kind, and it's spreading. Can our heroes, a small group of people broadcasting out of a talk radio station, discover a solution before it's too late? If not, I would advise against visiting Pontypool (2008)!

Send us a text An oddity can be an interesting thing. A curiosity, one might say. Would you expect to receive a life-size wooden person as a gift? Probably not, because that does seem a little unusual. But hey, this movie is called Oddity (2024).

Send us a text A documentary filmmaker, known for exploring the supernatural, disappears without a trace! But we get to view his final film. Will we disappear after watching it? You never know. Until you watch, Noroi (2005)!

Send us a text You're a woman who goes to the English countryside for some solitude and some time to heal after the death of your spouse. And instead of having time alone, you find yourself being constantly bothered by Men (2022).

Send us a text What happens when you combine a young FBI agent with psychic abilities, a serial killer, children, life-size dolls with silver spheres in their heads, T. Rex, Satanism, and Nicolas Cage? You get one unsettling movie. Are you wearing your Longlegs (2024) today, almost-birthday girl?

Send us a text Gothic horror from Italian master, Mario Bava! A small village is cursed by the ghost of a young child, who just so happens to be causing a number of deaths. Operazione Paura, Operation Fear, Die toten Augen des Dr. Dracula, Curse of the Living Dead, Don't Walk in the Park? None of those titles feel like a good fit for this movie, and neither does Kill, Baby...Kill! (1966), but I guess we'll just go with that one.

Send us a text The adorable animals are back! This time in snake form! We have slithering serpent friends in showers, at carnivals, in air ducts, and liquor cabinets. Oh, and definitely on a plane. Join us as we sink our fangs into Snakes on a Plane (2006), Venom (1981), and Sssssss (1973)! Yes, the title is really Sssssss. Don't say it, HISS it!

Send us a text If you ever find yourself seeing demons or inhuman things, and are really uncertain as to whether or not they are dreams or reality, maybe you would develop a feeling of solidarity by watching Jacob's Ladder (1990). Actually, no. Maybe that's not such a good idea.

Send us a text Sydney Sweeney is hugely popular! This is bound to be our most successful podcast episode ever! Except, well, she's not actually on the show or anything. We just happen to be discussing a movie in which she stars, and also happens to produce. But it's some good old religious horror, so there's that, at least. Sydney Sweeney IS Immaculate (2024)!

Send us a text More than four years after we discussed the first film in the series, we're returning to the depths of Clive Barker's imagination. Some of us more reluctantly than others. But make no mistake, it's time to play. Puzzle boxes, people without skin, chains with fishhooks, Kirsty, people with nails or pins in their heads, blood and goo, Julia. Yes, they're all back for more in Hellbound: Hellraiser II (1988)!

Send us a text Is that a vampire, or a puppet? A celebration in a small French village leads to madness and chaos. And a witch's curse plagues a small Massachusetts town. It can only be the Winter of Folk Horror rising again! Join us for The Vourdalak (2023), Litan (1982), and The City of the Dead (1960)!

Send us a text They don't call it the curse for nothing. Wait. What are we talking about here? Are we talking about menstrual cycles or werewolves? Yes! The Fitzgerald sisters finally get their due on the podcast! Happy Valentine's Day to the Common Craig! It's Ginger Snaps (2000) time!

Send us a text Bill Paxton, director? Yes, it's true! Bill made his feature film directorial debut with Frailty (2001), in which he also stars as a single father with two sons. He believes that he has been visited in the night by an angel, who has instructed him and his sons to hunt demons. However, his oldest son, Fenton, is more than a little concerned when these demons have human names and actually appear to be human!

Send us a text What do a torso, an eyeball, and an opera all have in common? Those are the titles of the gialli we are covering for Giallo January Two! Or due, sorry. A killer using red and black scarves as their chosen weapon, pursues a group of ladies to a country villa in Sergio Martino's Torso (1973)! A group of American tourists become victims of a maniac who is after a particular body part, in Umberto Lenzi's Eyeball (1975)! And then from there, a young singer is forced to watch as a l...
