This week on Scaredy Pants, we’re diving into the quiet, haunting grief of Lake Mungo (2008), a mockumentary-style Australian horror film that hits you right in the existential feels. We talk ghost sightings, family secrets, and how this movie somehow manages to be both understated and deeply unsettling. Is that something in the background… or just our imagination? From buried phones to blurry footage to one very cursed dam, we explore how Lake Mungo lingers long after the credits roll. Come for the scares, stay for the emotional devastation.

Lake Mungo (2008)

This week on Scaredy Pants, we’re staring deep into the haunted mirror of Oculus (2013), Mike Flanagan’s time-bending psychological horror about memory, trauma, and a really, really evil antique. One of us is losing track of reality—maybe it’s the mirror, maybe it’s the movie, or maybe we just shouldn't record near reflective surfaces. We talk creepy family dynamics, twinkle-eyed ghosts, and whether this film is actually a ghost story or a slow descent into madness. Is it scary? Is it sad? Is it both?? Tune in to find out whether Sean and Matt survived the mind games—or if the mirror got them too.

The Others (2001)

Brace yourselves, Scaredy Pants listeners, because this week, Sean and Matt are diving into one of the most infamous horror films of all time—The Human Centipede (2009). That’s right, we’re talking mad scientists, surgical nightmares, and a concept so disgusting it became legend. Will Sean be able to stomach it? Will Matt regret everything? And most importantly—does The Human Centipede have more to offer than just shock value? Tune in to find out more!

The Human Centipede (2009)

Scaredy Pants is back for a brand-new season, and this time, Sean is calling the shots! That’s right—our resident scaredy-pants has handpicked every movie this season, and we’re kicking things off with Terrifier (2016). Was this a huge mistake? Probably. As Sean endures the nightmare that is Art the Clown, Matt, our horror-loving guide, is more than happy to watch the chaos unfold. Can Sean handle the gore, or will he regret his own choices? Tune in as we break down the blood, the terror, and the questionable decision-making that got us here!

Terrifier (2016)

Hey there! Long time no see!


Matt and Sean are back this Friday with a brand new season with some of grossiest, nasstiest, and hopefully scariest movies we've seen yet. This season we'll be watching movies picked by Sean that he's been avoiding, starting with the cult hit "Terrifier" (2016). Will it be as horrifying as Sean thought it would, or will Sean learn that the biggest fears are the ones we make along the way?


In the meantime, here's the final episode of last season, "Carnival of Souls" (1962).

The Beyond (1981)

In this week’s episode, we dive into the psychological depths of the 1960 classic Peeping Tom. A controversial film in its time, this chilling thriller explores voyeurism, obsession, and the darker side of filmmaking itself. As always, one of us is the resident horror fan, while the other isn’t so keen on scary movies—but fear not! We’ll break down the suspense, discuss the artful tension, and let you know if this eerie film is worth a watch, even if you’re not a horror buff. Tune in to hear our take on this early slasher and whether or not Peeping Tom still holds the power to make you squirm!

Peeping Tom (1960)

This week, we’re stepping into the trippy, terrifying world of Suspiria. Our resident horror fanatic is ready to gush about Dario Argento’s masterpiece: witches, neon lights, and enough blood to fill a swimming pool. Meanwhile, our scaredy-pants co-host is wondering why ballet schools can’t just have normal problems like bad Wi-Fi instead of, you know, ancient covens. Join us as we break down the film's wild visuals, creepy score, and why the color red should probably come with a warning label.
