Near Dark (1987)

This is our second Italian horror movie this season and it too features someone getting ripped apart by a German Shepherd. Are the Italians doing okay? This week Matt and Sean watched the 1981, video nasty, "The Beyond".

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.

Suspiria (1977)

Is it a dream? Is it purgatory? Is it...a good movie?


This week Matt and Sean are starting a new season of cult movies! We hope we can introduce you to some movies you haven't seen (or in Sean's case, movies he's only seen on the shelf at Blockbuster) and kick off this spoooooooky season! This week we watched the 1979 Horror/Sci-fi, "Phantasm"!

Phantasm (1979)

In this episode, we dive into Piranha (1978), a campy, blood-soaked creature feature from the mind of Joe Dante. These killer fish are on the loose, but is this a film that only hardcore horror fans can stomach, or is it a bite-sized entry for those who don’t typically like scary movies?


We break down the film's blend of suspense, humor, and gore, and our co-host Sean shares his take as a non-horror fan. Does Piranha sink or swim as a gateway into the genre? Tune in to find out if this aquatic terror is safe for even the most horror-averse listeners to enjoy!

Piranha (1978) 

This week we take a deep dive into one of Sean's greatest fears, "Open Water". We discuss the real life inspiration for the movie, how the actors actually worked with real sharks, and what you can do if you're ever in this situation. (This episode could actually save your life!)

Open Water (2003)

In this episode, we plunge into the cinematic ocean with Jaws to start our "Creatures of the Deep" season. As always, Matt is all about the thrills, but somehow, he keeps forgetting the name of the genius behind the camera—Steven Spielberg! Meanwhile, Sean gives his perspective on Robert Shaw's sobriety level during each take. We explore the suspense, the unforgettable shark, and why this film remains a cornerstone of horror. Should you dive into Jaws? Tune in to find out!

Jaws (1975)

In this spine-tingling episode, we dive into the ultimate horror showdown, where the titans of terror go head-to-head! Join us as we pit the Halloween, Friday the 13th, and Nightmare on Elm Street franchises against each other in a March Madness-style bracket. Who will slash their way to the top? Which iconic villain will reign supreme—Michael Myers, Jason Voorhees, or Freddy Krueger? Grab your popcorn (and maybe a nightlight) as we debate, dissect, and decide which horror series will take the crown in this ghoulish grudge match

March Madness of Nightmares!

The Jason franchise has come to an end! Tune in this week to hear what Matt and Sean think of the Michael Bay's second greatest movie, "Friday the 13th" (2009). (Spoilers, they have not made a Jason movie since...)
