The Nice Harvest (THE LEECH [2022])

2022/12/31

Happy (very-belated) Holidays everyone!! It has been a bit of a rough month for all three of us here at the pod (some of these reasons are mentioned in the episode), so we knew going into this recording there was a good chance it wouldn't be out before Christmas. Sadly that proved to be the case, but we're glad the episode was finished in time for the end of 2022. And we're even more delighted to be reviewing another feature starring Jeremy Gardner (alongside Graham Skipper, Taylor Zaudtke and Rigo

Final Krue-sis (A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET [2010 Remake])

2022/12/17

One year to the day since we started our Elm Street restrospective, we're concluding it with our review of the Platinum Dunes remake of A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET (2010)! We've been teasing our opinions of this movie ever since we reviewed the first one, so we were very excited to finally record this discussion. We had a terrific time reviewing the Elm Street series, and this movie was no exception. We hope everyone enjoys the episode, and as always thanks so much for listening!!

2022/12/08

It's time to tackle another true horror classic on our podcast, and hopefully we "did it beautifully!" Ahead of the release of his new comic DEAD SEAS from IDW, we're delighted to be joined by writer Cavan Scott to discuss his favorite horror movie: THE WICKER MAN (1973)! We've been fans of Cavan's work on Titans United, Shadow Service and more for quite some time now, so it was a real thrill to have him on the pod as a guest. We had a fabulous time discussing this film, and we very much hope

As we shatter our record for "Longest Episode on a Single Movie" (the previous record-holder being Oculus), is it any surprise that it was prompted by a new release from Rustic Films? Probably not, if you've heard our previous episodes, and probably even less surprising if you've seen the subject of our new episode: SOMETHING IN THE DIRT (2022). We were lucky enough to catch the latest from directors Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead during the Cannes Film Festival earlier this year, but we didn't

2022/11/15

Happy Noirvember! We've been meaning to do a horror/noir movie as a Noirvember special since our first year, so apparently the third year's the charm. So this year we're delighted to review our first Clive Barker feature on the pod: LORD OF ILLUSIONS [1995], with Clive adapting his own short story "The Last Illusion" from the Books of Blood. And even better, we're joined by a very special guest whose prose and comics work we've loved for a long time: Duane Swierczynski! We had an absolutely

2022/10/31

First of all, it is October... so Happy Halloween everyone! For last year's Halloween, we reviewed a movie that we think captures the Halloween spirit rather perfectly: THE MORTUARY COLLECTION. So this year, we're reviewing the cinematic adaptation of a book that does the same for the whole autumn season: SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES (1983)! Since this is an adaptation of material we've all read and loved here at the pod, we're doing this review a little differently: we'll discuss the original

2022/10/24

It's finally here! We've been saying for years that once the Criterion collection finally released it on blu-ray, we would review Kiyoshi Kurosawa's CURE (1997) on the pod. With the blu-ray out as of October 18th, it's finally time for us to review this absolute classic of horror. And joining us for this review is a returning guest from last year's BUTTERFLY KISSES review: Trevor Henderson! On top of being an amazing artist, we knew Trevor was a big fan of CURE back when we talked to him as part

After a few months of reviewing standalone horror features, we're back to the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise! We've covered the six movies in the "Elm Street Prime" portion of the series, so next up is WES CRAVEN'S NEW NIGHTMARE (1994). This is a franchise favorite for many fans, and we're delighted to be joined by a special guest who is also a huge Elm Street fan: Cynthia Pelayo! We're big fans of Cynthia's work here at the pod, so please check out her recent releases after you listen to the

It's our very first anime review on the pod! We thrilled to be reviewing "Magnetic Rose," the first segment of the 1995 cinematic anthology MEMORIES based on the works of Katsuhiro Otomo. And not only are we thrilled that our first anime on the pod has a screenplay by Satoshi Kon (PERFECT BLUE, PARANOIA AGENT), but we're joined by a pair of fabulous guests: Luke Piotrowski and Ben Collins! You know their screenwriting work from THE NIGHT HOUSE, SUPER DARK TIMES and more, but alongside Kevin Phillips

2022/09/23

If you listened to our review of The Legend of Boggy Creek in Episode 50, you heard Jake and I realize that Episode 52 was coming up and that almost certainly meant it was time for us to review another comic book adaptation. We get into more of the details why in this discussion, but for Episode 52 we've chosen to review 2005's Constantine! This movie has had a bit of a contentious history amongst our hosts sinces its release, so it seemed like a good time to revisit this cinematic rendition of

For our 51st episode, we're taking a quick detour from the Nightmare on Elm Street series to review a different kind of dream-centric horror movie: Come True (2020) from director Anthony Scott Burns! We were big fans of the Father's Day installment of Holidays that Burns directed, and we're very excited to discuss one of his feature-length projects on the pod. And even better, we're joined by a very special guest: Daniel Kraus! We've talked about Daniel's work in the past, particularly praising his

We're back, and we're celebrating our 50th upload! For this very special episode, we're very excited (or at least some of us are) to be reviewing The Legend of Boggy Creek! This episode is dedicated to one of our longtime listeners, but we hope everyone enjoys it! Also coinciding with the release of this episode is the return of our coffee roast! We're doing another run of our collaboration coffee with the fabulous folks at Rootless Coffee, and you can grab a bag

Doug Jones Day III (HOCUS POCUS [1993])

The Scary Stuff Podcast ·

2022/06/30

Happy Doug Jones Day everybody! It's our third consecutive year celebrating actor Doug Jones (although technically this is the 12th anniversary of the original Doug Jones Day), but it's the first time we're reviewing a Disney movie on our podcast! For this year's Doug Jones Day episode, we're discussing 1993's Hocus Pocus, wherein Doug Jones plays "Billy Butcherson" in one of his earliest roles. This is a beloved movie in several corners of horror fandom, and was a gateway horror movie to many,

It's the 40th anniversary of John Carpenter's The Thing, and we're celebrating with a truly special episode. For our review of this horror classic, we're joined by special guest Mat Johnson. Mat has written amazing works in comics (Papa Midnite, Incognegro: A Graphic Mystery, Right State), in prose (Drop, Pym, Loving Day) and is now working on two upcoming tv series: Manhunt and The Fall of the House of Usher. Mat also has a brand new novel being released on June 28th titled Invisible Things, but

2022/06/23

Just in time for its debut on Shudder, we're bringing you our review of the new horror movie from director Luke Boyce and Shatterglass Films: Revealer! We had a great time chatting about the movie, and an even better one interviewing the movie's co-writer Michael Moreci! That interview can be found on the latter portion of the episode (timecode below), but we've been fans of both Michael's and co-writer Tim Seeley's work in comics for a long time, so we've been excited for their first movie

2022/06/08

Just in time for the release of the first comic written by pod-favorites Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead (Afterschool 1 from Skybound), we're reviewing their first work on a comic-inspired property: Moon Knight! Benson and Moorhead directed two episodes of the new Marvel series on Disney+, with the other four episodes helmed by Mohamed Diab (director of Clash and Cairo 678). Being big comic fans here at the pod, we were very excited to cover a superhero property on the show. But even better,

Our Nightmare on Elm Street franchise retrospective continues! This episode is going up later than we intended due to some recent health issues, but we're delighted to review the next two Freddy Krueger installments: A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child and Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare. And even better, for the Dream Child portion we're joined by the phenomenal artist of Dracula Motherf***er, Squirrel Girl, Assassin Nation and more: Erica Henderson! This episode concludes the "Freddy

Levine-ian Rhapsody (THE MANGLER [1995])

The Scary Stuff Podcast ·

2022/03/31

The second part of our Tobe Hooper / Robert Englund series is here! We put up a poll to determine which Hooper / Englund cinematic collaboration we would review, and The Mangler won over Eaten Alive and Night Terrors. We're looking forward to reviewing the other two movies down the line, but for now we're delighted to have an excuse to discuss another Stephen King adaptation and another Ted Levine performance. We hope everyone enjoys the episode, and thank you so much for listening!

2022/02/28

To follow-up our Valentine's Day special on After Midnight, we're reviewing Butcher Baker Nightmare Maker (1981) from director William Asher! What's the connection between the two movies? Like most things on our podcast, it's thoroughly quirky. But whatever the reason, this movie made for a great conversation and made for an excuse to invite a great guest onto the pod: writer John Lees! We've been thoroughly enjoying John's work on comics like The Crimson Cage, Mountainhead and more, so we

Happy Valentine's Day from all of us at the Scary Stuff Podcast! This year we're using the holiday as an excuse to review a movie that we all love here at the pod: After Midnight (2019) from directors Jeremy Gardener and Christian Stella! Appropriately enough the movie has a bit of history with Valentine's Day, as its wide release date was February 14, 2020. And it was also the first movie officially released under the banner of Rustic Films! It's a real delight to talk about this movie on the pod,
