Our host Jacob's novel THE LAST SUMMER, a tale of the Glawackus aka the "Northern Devil Cat," is now availabe from ESpec Books as part of their Systema Paradoxa series of cryptid tales. To celebrate, we're reviewing a movie similarly based on beastie's prowling the woodlands, albeit more extraterrestrial than terrestrial in this case. And Baltimore instead of Stanford.We're excited to review our first Don Dohler movie on the pod: his debut feature THE ALIEN FACTOR (1978)! And we're even more

The Rustic Signal has been lit once more! After performing in front of the camera for RESOLUTION and THE ENDLESS, Peter Cilella now steps behind the camera for his feature film directorial debut DESCENDENT (2025)! We've been looking forward to more directorial work from Peter since we saw his short film OCCUPANT a few years back, so we were very excited to check this movie out. It was a blast to discuss, and we hope everyone enjoys our conversation. As usual, we get into spoilers pretty quickly in

2025/07/27

As we enter the fifth year of our podcast, we are so, so grateful to all of our listeners for their time and support. This particular episode is dedicated to Sean, a listener whose support has helped us through some very rough times over the years. Since our pod started off with a review of the Return of the Living Dead franchise, we thought it would be appropriate to celebrate our fifth year by reviewing another zombie movie. We reached out to Sean and asked him to help us decide which movie to

2025/05/07

Our Christmas episode is still coming (albeit way, way after December), but we're taking a quick detour to the Collingwood Psychiatric Hospital. It's Episode 76, so it's the perfect time to have our resident 76ers fan Jacob choose a movie to review. And being our resident found-footage fan as well, for our latest episode Jacob has chosen GRAVE ENCOUNTERS (2011), written and directed by The Vicious Brothers.We also discuss the Kickstarter that Jacob just launched for his debut horror-fantasy novel

2025/02/15

The Rustic Signal has been lit! Although this episode is being released later than we'd hoped (although if we're reviewing a time travel movie, maybe our delays don't count this time around?), we're very excited for everyone to check out our discussion of the latest release from Rustic Films: THINGS WILL BE DIFFERENT (2024). And even better, we're so delighted to be joined by the movie's writer/director Michael Felker for a special interview! We had a truly fabulous time chatting with Michael about

2024/11/28

This one is something special. That statement doesn't just apply to the movie WARLOCK: THE ARMAGEDDON (1993) from director Anthony Hickox, which is the subject of this new episode. As much as the movie itself made for an entertaining discussion, what makes it special is that we're joined on this episode by returning guest Duane Swierczynski! We had a wonderful time chatting with Duane in our LORD OF ILLUSIONS episode a couple years back, and we're so thrilled to have him back on the pod to talk

It's our 2024 Halloween special!The trailer for the subject of our new episode refers to "Something beyond comprehension," which also applies to our pod as one of our hosts has never seen this horror classic before. For our Halloween celebration this year, our host Jacob has chosen THE EXORCIST (1973) from director William Friedkin and writer William Peter Blatty!

Some Few Remarks Upon a Pod Most Dire (WARLOCK [1989])

The Scary Stuff Podcast ·

2024/10/21

It's our second Steve Miner movie in a row, as we're reviewing WARLOCK (1989) in our latest episode! We thought this would be an interesting movie to discuss after having so much fun talking about HOUSE (1985) in our previous episode, but we bumped it up the priority list after our host Eric watched its sequel WARLOCK: THE ARMAGEDDON (1993). A review of that sequel is coming up soon (with a very special guest!), but before then we'll have our Halloween special, and Jake announces his pick for

2024/10/08

Believe it or not, this episode's been a long time coming for us. We've talked about covering this movie since the beginning of the pod, but we finally sat down to review HOUSE (1985)! This film from director Steve Miner and writers Fred Dekker and Ethan Wiley has been a favorite of our host Nick for many, many years, and it was a delight to finally discuss it on the show. Although this review is not without its cost, as Nick has to endure far more comic talk than he could have possibly anticipated

Last year we accompanied our Doug Jones Day episode with a review of the cult classic SPOOKIES, featuring an ensemble of characters under siege from an evil sorcerer and his peculiar assortment of supernatural minions. This year we're following a similar pattern, but swapping out the Jay Estate in New York for Castello Di Giove in Italy, a locale that will be familiar to fans of the movies of Charles Band and Empire International Pictures.

Please join us in wishing a happy house-warming to our host Nick Leamy! Nick detailed some of the home-buying headaches he and his family were dealing with back in our SPOOKIES episode, but that's all been settled and everyone's settling into a lovely new home. To celebrate this, we asked Nick to pick a movie to celebrate and he chose the original THE AMITYVILLE HORROR (1979), from director Stuart Rosenberg and starring Margot Kidder, James Brolin and Rod Steiger.

Happy Doug Jones Day everybody! It's our fourth year in a row celebrating our favorite horror holiday: the anniversary of the day Doug Jones worked on the set of Mike Flanagan's movie ABSENTIA. This year we're celebrating by watching THE DARKLING (2000), a USA original tv movie starring F Murray Abraham and Aidan Gillen (and of course Doug Jones, in the role of "Shadow Master"). As of this release the movie is a little difficult to track, but don't worry if you haven't seen it: we walk through the

Our not-quite-lost-but-certainly-long-delayed review of BEHIND THE MASK: THE RISE OF LESLIE VERNON (2006) is here!

Big thanks to everyone who voted for this movie in our Robert Englund poll, and apologies for the delay!
