New Castle Freak? New bonus episode! We covered Stuart Gordon's original Castle Freak back in Episode Six, so we were very excited to check out the 2020 re-imagining just released on Shudder. And as you can see from the runtime, we had a lot to say about it! We hope you enjoy this surprise episode, and thanks for listening!!

Slide-Down Economics (The People Under the Stairs)

The Scary Stuff Podcast ·

2020/11/30

In June of this year, we released a special bonus episode on Bandcamp where we reviewed Wes Craven's The People Under the Stairs (1991). All proceeds from that episode were donated to the Bread & Roses Community Fund of Philadelphia. Six months later, we're releasing that charity episode as a bonus episode on our main podcast feed. We hope you enjoy it! Although the Bandcamp page is no longer active, you can read more on the Bread & Roses Community Fund at https://breadrosesfund.org/

All Things Bright and Spherical (The Phantasm franchise)

The Scary Stuff Podcast ·

2020/11/16

You voted! We listened! Nick cheered! Jake grumbled! Eric flipped a table! For our eleventh episode, each of our hosts picked a movie franchise for contention and let twitter decide the winner. Nick's candidate was Phantasm, Jake's pick was Final Destination and Eric's was Species. Phantasm won by a wide margin, so in this episode we cover all five movies in the franchise. And appropriately enough for a series that often focuses on the relationship between two brothers, Jacob's brother Jeremiah (of

We went full sleaze for our Frank Henenlotter spotlight in Episode 10, so now we're going to the other end of the spectrum for our bonus episode. Hot on the heels of the release of The Haunting of Bly Manor on Netflix, we're reviewing an earlier adaptation of The Turn of the Screw by Henry James: 1961's The Innocents. This movie is a true horror classic and a favorite of one of our hosts. We hope you enjoy the episode, and thanks for listening!

Sleazy Stuff (The Movies of Frank Henenlotter)

The Scary Stuff Podcast ·

2020/10/19

Appropriately enough for the episode with a roman numeral "X," the Scary Stuff podcast is going full schlock and sleaze for Episode 10! This time our spotlight falls on exploitation master Frank Henenlotter, and we review four works from his filmography: Basket Case (1982), Brain Damage (1988), Frankenhooker (1990) and Bad Biology (2008). Our opinions vary pretty significantly throughout this episode, so we hope you enjoy this discussion filled with some script-to-screen notes, some fascinating

We Are the Weirdos (The Craft)

The Scary Stuff Podcast ·

2020/10/05

Just in-time for this month's release of The Craft: Legacy (which we didn't realize when we recorded it), we're covering 1996's The Craft for a special bonus episode! For Episode 9 we talked about four horror movies that were all released after Scream came out in December 1996. The Craft was released a little earlier that year, so it gets its own minisode! This movie has developed quite a following in the years since its release, so we hope you enjoy our review as we delve into the soundtrack, the

2020/09/21

Episode 9 continues! Much like the parade in I Know What You Did Last Summer, the Episode 9 recording continued on until time lost all meaning. Having covered a pair of 90s slashers in Part 1, the Scary Stuff crew now reviews a pair of horror movies riffing on the "body snatchers" concept for Part 2. First up is Disturbing Behavior (1998), where we discuss both the movie, the major changes and edits imposed on the movie for its theatrical release, and also the divergences from the original

We thought Episode 8 would be our longest episode. We were wrong. Apparently our love for Moorhead & Benson movies is eclipsed only by our nostalgia for the late 90s. That's right, for Episode 9 we're covering 90s teen horror movies! Specifically we're covering four movies released after Scream, which opened in December of 1996. Since the movies we're covering fall into two tonal pairs, we're going to try splitting this hefty episode into two parts. Up first in Part 1, slasher movies! First we

Following our biggest main episode yet, we have our biggest BONUS episode yet! We're following up our Moorhead & Benson spotlight episode by reviewing a new movie they produced alongside their longtime producing partner David Lawson Jr: She Dies Tomorrow from writer/director Amy Seimetz. And after that discussion, we have our very first INTERVIEW on the podcast! After Episode 8 was released, David Lawson Jr offered some of his time for an interview, we happily accepted, and we couldn't have asked

2020/08/17

This is a big episode for the Scary Stuff Podcast, and we're not just referring to the runtime! Since we first discussed starting a podcast, we've been eager to do a spotlight episode on two of our absolute favorite directors: Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead. With the recent release of their Twilight Zone episode titled "8," we took that as a sign to make them the focus of our own "8th" episode. But before we review that particular Twilight Zone episode, we discuss their previous works in the order

Office Politics (The Belko Experiment & The Hunt)

The Scary Stuff Podcast ·

2020/08/03

The most dangerous game continues! Following our episode on The Purge franchise, we're reviewing two movies with a similar motif. First up is The Belko Experiment (2016), which is the fourth movie we've covered featuring Delaware's own John Gallagher Jr! The movie also stars Michael Rooker, Adria Arjona and John C. Rei-- MCGINLEY, John C. McGinley. Then we review the self-proclaimed "Most Talked About Movie of the Year That No One's Actually Seen," 2020's The Hunt! Find out what all the fuss was

A Nation Reborn (The Purge franchise)

The Scary Stuff Podcast ·

2020/07/20

Seven episodes in, so it's time for the Scary Stuff crew to sin, scour, sanitize and sterilize our souls! And to accomplish that, we're reviewing all four installments in The Purge franchise: The Purge (2013), The Purge: Anarchy (2014), The Purge: Election Year (2016) and finally The First Purge (2018). There's a bit of discussion on the tv series in there too, and we even brought a friend of ours along for the ride this time! This was a lot of fun to record, and we hope you enjoy it too. And as

Humble Brie-ginnings (Born)

The Scary Stuff Podcast ·

2020/07/06

Two bonus episodes in a row! This time we let Jacob pick a movie as a reward for filling in the "Stuart Gordon" gap in his horror catalog back in episode six. And what a movie he picked! It's 2007's Born, one of the first feature film roles for Alison Brie, starring alongside horror icon Kane Hodder, Denise Crosby and Joan Severance. This one was quite the ride, and we hope you enjoy it. Thanks for listening!!

Happy Doug Jones Day! (Night Angel)

The Scary Stuff Podcast ·

2020/06/30

It's the anniversary of the day Doug Jones showed up to the set of Mike Flanagan's Absentia, so it's time to party! We promised in Episode 4 that The Scary Stuff Podcast would celebrate Doug Jones Day, and we decided to do that with a surprise bonus episode! We're going back to one of the earliest entries on the filmography of Doug Jones: Night Angel, also known as Deliver Us From Evil. We hope you enjoy this mini-sode on a very 80's horror movie from the writer of Night of the Demons and the

The Scary Stuff Podcast ·

2020/06/14

As promised back in our Mike Flanagan spotlight, the Scary Stuff Podcast’s latest episode is devoted to five movies from horror legend Stuart Gordon, who passed away earlier this year. We’ll be covering Re-Animator down the road alongside the other installments in that franchise, so this episode focuses on five of Gordon’s other works: From Beyond (1986), Dolls (1987), The Pit and the Pendulum (1991), Castle Freak (1995) and Dagon (2001). We hope you enjoy this lively (and lengthy) discussion, and

2020/05/18

The Scary Stuff trio are stuck indoors at the moment, so why not build an episode around characters in a similar boat? This month's theme is "Horror in Isolation," featuring four movies all centered around people trapped indoors due to an external crisis: The Mist (2007), Pontypool (2008), 10 Cloverfield Lane (2016) and The Night Eats the World (2018). We hope you enjoy it! Please stay safe and thanks for listening!!

The Scary Stuff Podcast ·

2020/05/04

Welcome to the Scary Stuff Podcast's first BONUS episode! :) Continuing our Mike Flanagan theme from Episode Four, we were excited to review Ouija: Origin of Evil (2016). However, to put that movie in the proper context, we first had to discuss the original Ouija (2014) directed by Stiles White. We thought it would be best to put those two movies in their own mini-sode. We managed to keep things under two hours this time! Please enjoy this bonus episode, and thanks for listening!!

We start with his breakthrough horror movie Absentia (2011), then review the long-delayed Before I Wake (2016), the tense thriller Hush (2016), and finally a duo of Stephen King adaptations: Gerald's Game (2017) and Doctor Sleep (2019). Rest assured, we have plans to cover Mike Flanagan's other horror works Oculus, Ouija: Origin of Evil and The Haunting of Hill House in the future. In

2020/03/16

The Scary Stuff trio caught the 2020 movie release Underwater during its theatrical run, so our latest episode takes a deep dive into four other aquatic horror movies alongside it. We start on the shore with Barry Levinson's found-footage movie The Bay (2012), head out to the ocean's surface with Stephen Sommer's Deep Rising (1998) before settling on the ocean floor with the 1989 duo of Deepstar Six and Leviathan. Thanks for listening!!

The Scary Stuff crew review all seven movies in the Paranormal Activity series, including the Japanese sequel "Tokyo Night." Join us as we take a deep dive into the most profitable film of all time and the resulting franchise. Enjoy the intense debate on the merits of the fourth installment, the birth of the "Too Stupid to Live" jingle, and decide for yourself whether you are #TeamRules or #TeamPatterns.
