Happy Halloween! It's our final Go Get Your Ghoul of 2026, and we are hanging in the cooler with the boys! 

Emma & Katie discuss John Carpenter's 1982 masterpiece The Thing, and except for some guitar talk at the beginning, stay mostly on topic. 

6 hour The Thing Documentary [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sDIaL9Begao]

Fact Check: The Thing was by far not the first movie Rob Bottin worked on. He worked on Star Wars when he was 16! He also worked on The Howling, which made him famous, and also with Carpenter a couple of years earlier on The Fog. Katie spouts off from unreliable memory sometimes, but her heart's in the right place. 

Go Get Your Ghoul: The Thing

Katie talks a lot of shit in the one for someone who couldn't get the episode out on time.

Why did they make this? Do they regret it? Other questions abound as Emma & Katie discuss the remake of The Haunting! We also talk the new Carrie miniseries, The Haunting of Hill House (2018), Mike Flanagan in general, the Owen Wilson/Jodie Foster continuum, and lots more!

Go Get Your Ghoul: The Haunting (1999)

Emma & Katie make some terrible decisions and go explore a cave in 2005, and watch this very scary movie called The Descent. 

Katie teaches us all how to pronounce "Appalachia," but fails miserably at pronouncing "piton." We discuss the much anticipated ACOTAR book 6 (turns out it does not come out before this episode) but beware of spoilers for book 1. Emma makes some bold claims about Queer Women, and we all reiterate the importance of saying "behind!"

Go Get Your Ghoul: The Descent

Emma & Katie discuss the 2016 horror movie The Witch! A feel-good romp that keeps you laughing!

Just kidding, it's an extremely upsetting movie about living in one of the worst times to live in the world. 

We also talk about Resident Evil Lizzie Borden, and The Monsters are Due on Maple Street [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Monsters_Are_Due_on_Maple_Street]. 

James Van Der Beek (RIP) on Criminal Minds [https://criminalminds.fandom.com/wiki/Tobias_Hankel]

Go Get Your Ghoul: The Witch

CW: This movie deals with sexual assault.

Emma and Katie talk about the horror masterpiece Rosemary's Baby, a cautionary tale about marrying actors. We google That Smell Water Has, talk The Tingler [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tingler], The Yellow Wallpaper [https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/1952], and Carnival of Souls [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnival_of_Souls], and avoid talking about the monster who made this movie. 



Fact Check: Robert Evans did not produce The Graduate



Go Get Your Ghoul: Rosemary's Baby

We're barely hanging on, y'all.  But no matter how bad the world may be outside, we've got the comforting glow of a spooky movie on the screen for...Late September. 

Its Go Get Your Ghoul! A bit early! And it's Scream 2! 

If you haven't heard the episode on Scream, you can find it here [https://open.spotify.com/episode/0yHt6yhAESDsAnR6aY8raF].

We talk some Practical Magic 2, Bury Your Gays [https://bookshop.org/p/books/bury-your-gays-chuck-tingle/de2c90d5aa0bc158?ean=9781250874665&bkshp-astro=t], World War Z [https://bookshop.org/p/books/world-war-z-an-oral-history-of-the-zombie-war-max-brooks/6bb80b8c9d191729?ean=9780307346612&bkshp-astro=t] and lots more!



And no, our Patreon hasn't launched yet. But soon!



Fact Check: The script says Sidney is a Freshman, but that's silly, it makes much more sense for her to be a sophomore. Death of the author and all that. It's decided. 

Go Get Your Ghoul: Scream 2

Emma & Katie had another movie scheduled, but with Dolly Parton's passing, they decided they needed to discuss this 1992 almost-great romcom Straight Talk! 

Also expect lots of talk about fridges/capitalism/halloween decorations, and listen for Emma interventioning Katie in real time!

Fact Check: Dolly doesn't curse [https://www.countrythangdaily.com/dolly-parton-had-one-rule-before-singing-with-sabrina-carpenter/]! ...on camera. 

Straight Talk

Emma & Katie go to the office...on Broadway...in the 60s...to figure out what kind of female trap we can spring. There's also a lot of Curtain Talk, some historical asides, a lot of talking sugar on Robert Morse, Emma's college production of the show, and lots more.

Note: The documentary about Industrial musicals is Bathtubs Over Broadway [https://www.bathtubsoverbroadway.com/]

Fact Check: Rudy Vallée is, of course, not in The Philadelphia Story, thats Jimmy Stewart! Rudy Vallée is in The Palm Beach Story!

How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying

Emma & Katie check in on the steamy movie adaptation of Sally Thorne's The Hating Game, and Emma's definitely didn't throw her phone into the wall. We talk the decline of sex in movies, issue a notes app apology about AI, Katie learns about Jimothy the raccoon, what an episode!



Fact Check: Duck Duck Go does have AI features, it just gives the ability to turn them completely off.

The Hating Game

Emma & Katie spend a lot of time talking about 90s and 00s music, but get around to this Hillary Duff y2k-era romcom eventually. It's got Jennifer Coolidge! Volkswagen Beetles! Earthquakes! Droughts! The brand new form of communication known as texting!  And somehow we don't talk about Lizzie McGuire at all? Maybe next time.
