We here at Spook! would like to congratulate Anna Kendrick for becoming a triple threat by showing she can not only act and sing, but also direct an unsettling movie about an unsettling creep.

Where wolf? There, wolf! Or something like that. It’s the last classic monster movie of Novemboo, and Nicole and Joe have divided opinions on this movie starring Lon Chaney Jr. (Don’t listen to Joe when he talks about him being in things before, that was his dad.) While going through this movie, they touch on topics such as Larry’s creeping, Welsh accents, how this movie stacks up against its Full House hype, and The Phantom of the Opera.

We at Spook! promise not to haunt you forever if you promise to listen to this episode! Season 3 of AYAOTD is drawing to a close, at least according to Paramount+, and the order continues to be all out of whack. But that doesn’t stop Joe and Nicole from enjoying this surprisingly poignant episode and discussing the parallels between its mean Eastern European apartment manager and the one from Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man movies.

This episode of AYAOTD is clearly no walk in the park (sorry). Joe and Nicole cover this surprisingly gruesome tale that left a few too many questions unanswered.

It’s alive! Novemboo continues with another one of the most iconic films of all time, based on one of horror’s seminal novels.

Feeling an unexplained sense of existential dread lately? Don’t worry! Spook! is here to replace that gnawing feeling with a much more placeable one: fear of drowning! Yes, it’s a particularly heavy episode of AYAOTD, and a bittersweet one, too, as it’s the last we will see of Kristen and David. Luckily, they go out on a high note, with this Stephen King-esque Tale of the Shiny Red Bicycle delivering scares and pathos in equal measure.

It’s a tale as old as time: A group of kids drive by a haunted mansion only to have their car break down and be stalked by ghosts. Such is the case for “The Tale of the Whispering Walls”, an episode that bears a striking resemblance to another AYAOTD episode. Joe and Nicole discuss 90’s fashion, full moon on a leap year, and My Chemical Romance. Warning: Episode contains spoilers and mentions death and child endangerment.
