Scared Smithless

This week, the guys kick off Halloween with an obscure little gem from 1981. Dark Night of the Scarecrow features a lot to love, an antagonist to hate, and many things that make you scratch your head. Are scarecrows scary? Are boarding houses still a thing? How much information is necessary before fat rednecks justify murder in the name of mob justice? The guys answer all this and more as they tra...

This week, the guys are closing out the Halloween season appropriately with Halloween Ends. Does this spell the end of Michael Myers? We don't believe that for a second. Why are we still not listening to Laurie Strode? Michael Myers is....feeble? Alternate title, Michael Myers: The Internship. A lot to digest here, tune in! Like us on Facebook! Follow us on Twitter!

This week, the guys travel deep into the Appalachian woods to visit their pals Saw-Tooth, One-Eye, and Three Finger for dinner. That's right, it's the 2003 inbred cannibal nightmare, Wrong Turn! Why do young people continue to go on trips to the woods...on purpose?? What are the specific Breaking and Entering laws in West Virginia? Apparently, generations of inbreeding eventually produce i...

This week, the guys head out to the woods to try and stomach the great outdoors as they break down Evil Dead, the 2013 remake of the 1981 Sam Raimi classic. Bruce Campbell gave this movie his stamp of approval. Did he actually watch it?? If this is what it takes to kick a heroin habit, is it actually worth it? If you find a book with warnings not to read it, don't read it. Especially when the...

This week, join the guys as they check into the Abaddon Hotel and breakdown the 2015 found footage joint, Hell House LLC. Can you make a living operating a haunted attraction that's only open 1 month out of the year? Was this the scariest movie the guys have covered? Make sure to thoroughly vet any clown actors you discover in a gas station parking lot before hiring them. There's still a v...

This week, join the guys down on the farm as they break down the 2021 horror thriller Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin, now streaming on Paramount+. How did this movie become connected to the Paranormal Activity universe? How many red flags would you ignore to be reunited with your biological relatives? Another Scared Smithless PSA: If you find a deep, dark well hidden beneath a blood-stained trap...

In a special Halloween BONUS episode, the guys travel back to Haddonfield for more of the ret-conned night he came home. That's right, it's Halloween Kills! WARNING: MAJOR SPOILERS! What in the world is with PTSD Tommy Doyle organizing ineffective mob justice? What do Michael Myers and Frodo Baggins have in common? And does a Michael Myers musical really have legs? Tune in and find out! 🎃...

This week, Happy HALLOWAN month continues with Insidious. Join the guys as they travel into 'The Further' and discuss important topics, such as how this family could possibly live in such a large house on Patrick Wilson's teachers salary? Maybe he's tenured, if JT only knew what that meant. WWE Legend Sting in demon form fights Rose Byrne in this one. Yeah...tune in. Like us on Fac...

This week, join the guys as they continue their month of Happy HalloWAN, traveling across the pond to talk about The Conjuring 2. Has there ever been a time when a Ouija board did something helpful? How does a 'Crooked Man' help fix a stutter? So a demon, disguised as a nun, disguised as an old man, is trying to accomplish what, exactly?? Tune in and find out! Like us on Facebook! Follow u...

Wee're Baaaaack...and better than ever! Season 2 kicks off our month of Happy HalloWAN, with movies from master director of horror, James Wan. This week, join the guys on a trip into The Conjuring universe with the one that started them all. This should go without saying, but if an inhuman entity asks to be invited into your home via what might be the creepiest doll to ever grace the silver sc...

This week, the guys close out haunted house horror month with 2001's The Others. Kids with a lethal allergy to light, a mother constantly on the brink of a psychotic breakdown, and a war-torn father in serious need of some psychiatric help. What more could you ask for? When one door closes, another door opens. Or at least it better, lest you face the wrath of an unstable, still married to Tom...

On this week's episode, the guys' foray into haunted house horrors continues with 1961's The Innocents. Deborah Kerr's turn at nanny is basically Mary Poppins on a bad acid trip. And Dick Van Dyke is not around to help. Is there an old, victorian house in existence without a terrifying history of death and despair? Children quietly smiling and not speaking has officially taken up p...

This week, we kick off our month of haunted house horror with 1980's The Changeling. Join the guys as they debate the ethical dilemma associated with murder, how to take out a life insurance policy against a loved one whose time may be coming up, and how to get out of a lease on a property with a haunted past that was not disclosed. It's a mystery wrapped up in an enigma. Tune in! Like us...

This week, the guys dive into to a Steve McQueen classic that was made to be seen at the drive-in. What is protocol when coming across a meteorite possibly containing an amorphic, acidic, alien from outer space? Not sure, but poking it with a stick is not the best option. Harder to get off your person than gorilla glue, it's The Blob! Plenty of stupid character decisions and pointless filler t...

Happy St. Patty's Day! Join the guys as they celebrate the holiday with a sociopathic leprechaun on a murderous rampage to retrieve his gold! What is the fundamental difference between a leprechaun and an elf? How many shotgun blasts does it take to bring down a 3 foot man? How did this movie not ruin Jennifer Aniston's career before it got started? Tune in and find out! Like us on Faceboo...

In this episode, the guys break down this 1986 David Cronenberg gag-inducer. Of all the things to unintentionally splice your DNA with, this one has got to be near the bottom of the list. Add teleportation to the list of things the 1980's screwed up for everyone. Probably not ready for human testing if you're barely past the inside-out primate phase, but hey...movies gotta movie! Make sure...

What do you get when you cross The Exorcist with Toy Story? This week, the guys get philosophical about a variety of topics, including Cabbage Patch possession, voodoo, and the moral ambiguity of toy murder. It's Chuckie, and he wants to play!

In this week's episode, love is in the air. The guys celebrate Valentine's Day with the 1983 Stephen King adaptation, Christine. It's a romantic tale about a teenage boy and his car. Why are all of King's bullies murderous psychopaths? He must have had quite the childhood. Is it really that hard too evade a car? Will the immortal Ted from Friday the 13th part 2 finally meet his dem...

In this episode, the guys revisit the titular wicker man for the 2006 remake of the cult classic. Surely, this one will be better than the original. Spoiler alert...it isn't. What we do get, however, is Nicolas Cage at his unmedicated, unstable finest, screaming about bees and knocking women out cold (more than once). Who in their right mind thought this convoluted mess needed a reimagining? I...

This week, the guys take a trip across the pond for a movie that doesn't exactly live up to it's namesake. Shouldn't a movie called The Wicker Man give us a little more.....man made of wicker? How many red flags do you need before you call for backup? You'd expect more resistance from someone about to be offered up as a human sacrifice by a cult, but seeing Christopher Lee prance a...

This week, the guys head north where the nights are long, the beer is non-existent, and the vampires are visiting for an all-you-can-eat buffet. Yep, it's 2007's 30 Days of Night. Who on earth would live here, even without the coked-up, Klingon vampires? Is this why we haven't heard from Josh Hartnett in so long? How on earth is a "muffin masher" allowed to exist, and why can&#...

In this week's episode, the Smith brothers dive head first into the 1957 cult classic, Plan 9 from Outer Space. How did a renowned psychic not know to avoid narrating this atrocity? Human aliens resurecting the dead on earth to carry out their bidding as mindless zombies. Oh yeah, they're also...vampires??? Ed Wood must have had some serious dirt on the late, great Bela Lugosi. Yep, it&#39...

Happy New Year's! The guys are ringing in 2021 with part 2 of The Shining. Will Jack find his inspiration and finally finish his book? Who is more angry with Wendy...Jack Torrance or J.T.? Will Scatman Crothers arrive in time to save the day? Slip into your favorite bear costume, pop some bubbly and celebrate the end of 2020 with Scared Smithless! Like us on Facebook!

Seasons Greetings Scared Smithlessers! In this week's episode, the guys tackle a powerhouse of the horror genre. That's right, by popular demand, it's The Shining. Is Jack Nicholson capable of portraying sanity, even when the first act of the film calls for it? Shelly Duvall is not THAT insufferable of a character, is she? Can the guys find a single element of the film that Stanley Kub...
