Internet personality! Vengeful spirit! Live streaming! This week, the boys, wager all their clout to host, DEADSTREAM!!

2022/10/13

Our Spooky Special continues! This week, the boys watch Paranormal Activity 2 (2010) & Paranormal Activity 3 (2011)!! All sequels have highs and lows. After the success of Paranormal Activity, the creators wanted to take the story and build out a mythology. Paranormal Activity 2 and Paranormal Activity 3, are movies that complete a trilogy. (Which does not instill any confidence in the remaining sequels). Can these sequels tell an engaging story and bring the fun terror? You can always

2022/10/06

Middle class couple! Malevolence presence! Video recording equipment! This week the boys hit the REC button because we ain't afraid of no ghost! We face off against, PARANORMAL ACTIVITY (2007) Originality is craved in Hollywood. Horror is littered with favorites remade to the last drop. For a horror movie to be provocative and tension filled, PARANORMAL ACTIVITY will always stand apart. PARANORMAL ACTIVITY is very popular movie, but is it one of the best found footage movie of all time? Plus, we

This week the boys meet a rat named BEN, a smart rat, and try to outlast greasy weirdo, WILLARD. This remake to the 1971 film featured BRUCE DAVISON in the title role.

91: All My Friends Hate Me

The Skeleton Boys ·

2022/09/01

Birthday weekend! Friends reveal old secrets! Unwelcome stranger! This week the boys question everything because, "All My Friends Hate Me"! "All My Friends Hate Me", is a British dark comedy with hints of horror splashed in. It follows a group of old college friends meeting for a Birthday weekend. It's the Anti-"Big Chill". The movie is a psychological piece about paranoia but does it boarder too much on cringe? In TV Corner, "Chapelwaite" is slowly becoming a soap opera and the boys are loving

90: Nope

The Skeleton Boys ·

2022/08/25

Random falling objects! UFOs! Capturing video evidence! This week the boys say, "Nope"! Original, creative, creepy and suspenseful! Jordan Peele returns to continue to show off his skill as a director. Only a sci-fi action picture doesn't completely convey what Peele is really talking about. That'a good thing. But does Peele's message come through or is just a mess? In TV corner, "Chapelwaite" takes a left turn this week but are the boys for it? (HINT: YES!) And so much more!! You can always

Coastal California town! A divorcée and her teenage sons! Vampires! This week the skeleton boys tangle with "The Lost Boys"!

A family vacation! doppelgängers! Santa Cruz! This week the boys have a terrorizing encounter when they met,"US"! "US", is a puzzling second feature from writer and director Jordan Peele. It's subtext could lose you but is truly unforgettable experience. Peele underpins his movie with symbolism and humor. Is this a great idea but questionably executed?

Idyllic retreat! A relationship on the brink of falling apart! Pagan cult! This week, the boys enjoy a Swedish mid-summer festival, called "Midsommar"! Traumatic, surreal, bizarre masterpiece? This movie will be divisive. I have no doubt that many people will have mixed feelings. However, while this movie is challenging, it's the definition of Folk Horror. But is this movie more style, no substance? Plus, in TV Corner, we check episode 2 of,"Chapelwaite"! And so much more!! You can always email

A sexual encounter! Unusual curse! Pursuing phantom! Aloha folks! This week the boys hit the beach and celebrate Hot Sexy Death Summer! To kick off our summer series, we vibe with "It Follows"!! "It Follows" is a wonderfully lo-fi horror, a chilling slasher story that shares much with Japanese horror gene but light years ahead. Do the boys want to build sandcastles with it?
