This is Collin's last day as a full time co-host of the Abby Normal Podcast, so help me in wishing him luck on his future projects. The Abby Normal Podcast will pick up again with it's fifth season ear...

Although the actors strike is over, we will still be continuing our review on independent horror films as we close in on the end of season four. This week we will covering Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey, directed by Rhys Frake Waterfield.

Welcome to another movie review episode, we will be diving into the world of witch hysteria in the 2015 film The VVitch directed by Robert Eggars.

This week's trivia game was inspired from the Dead Meat Podcast, only this game is without audio clips of the horror movie kills. We hope our listeners have a wonderful and safe Halloween this year.

This week's episode is a re-vamped review of Alea's least favorite film, Midsommar. Sometimes we may give a movie a second re-watch for a more stronger review and will sometimes find a little more aspects to enjoy from it. That doesn't always change the way we feel about those movies but it's giving chances.

Game night toniiiiight! On this week's episode, Collin is back and he's not so ready for another round of Who Am I? We hope you enjoy this week's game segment.

We are so excited for this review because we are honored to have Robin Graves, the man behind Lucy Baal, joining us this week. Horror TikTok's beloved demonic entity who runs The Last Movie Store on Earth! Robin and Alea will be reviewing Damion Leone's 2016 film Terrifier.

On this week's episode we're taking a trip to South Korean, where a zombie outbreak threatens the lives of people on a train en route for Busan. 2016's Train to Busan is a foreign horror film that has a refreshing take on zombie movies that is packed with action, heart and a great story.

This week we're bringing the truly strange and unusual back to the show by discussing cryptids, Bigfoot to be precise. Bigfoot is one of Collin's favorite cryptids and Alea thought it would be nice to showcase one of his favorite things. We'll be highlighting three different horror movies that feature or center around Bigfoot/Sasquatch/Yeti. As to remain in solidarity with the WGA & SAG-AFTRA stri...

Surfs up everybody! This week we're covering the film Psycho Beach Party, based off of a off-Broadway play written by Charles Busch. This film is a fun parody of 60's surfer movies mixed with who-done-it storyline and slasher themes.

It's game night for the Abby Normal Podcast household. We've spent a lot of time reviewing movies, talking with friends and discussing current events that we felt it would be a good time to bust out one of our favorite trivia games. This is the fifth time we have played Horror Trivial Pursuit on the podcast.

How did we get here? And where are we going from here? With the WGA strike unfolding and now the SAG-AFTRA strike beginning, we wanted to take the time to explain how it all started and where we are right now in a way you, the listeners, better understand it. We are by no means professionals in the movie & TV critique field but as consumers of movies & TV as well as content creators, but we felt l...

It's Summer Time! After a two week unannounced hiatus, we are back with a summer themed horror movie that has been considered a classic camping horror movie by many. We will be kicking off a multi-part franchise review of Friday the 13th.

Everybody gets their start somewhere. We sit down with Kelin and John, two high school students from Wisconsin, who are working on getting their first feature length film release this year. The movie is called Night and is excepted to be released by the end of this year.

Hello dear listeners! We hope you all had a great Mother's Day weekend last week. We apologize for not having an episode last Sunday as Collin was out of town and we did not properly prepare an episode for you all.

On this episode of the Abby Normal Podcast we review 2022's Kids vs Aliens, directed by Jason Eisener. If nostalgia and camp is your thing then you'll definitely love this film. This film also has great practical effects that enhance the grotesqueness of the aliens and kill scenes. We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we enjoyed this movie.

We finally made it! We watched the latest installment of the Saw franchise Spiral: The Book of Saw, and we now get to put a giant pause on the franchise until the release of Saw X said to be released in 2025. So until we know whether or not this crazy and gory journey is ever going to end, we hope you enjoy our review of Spiral.

And we are back with a new episode this week after taking a couple of weeks off to focus on settling into our new home. Thank you to everyone who was very understanding during this time. We hope you enjoy this week's episode and look forward to upcoming movie reviews in the weeks to come.

Since we are in the process of moving and unpacking into our new home, we are playing a fun game of Who Am I. Collin has picked five horror based characters that Alea has to figure out using yes or no questions.
