Scare Value Podcast

Foreign Correspondent Ken joins the show to talk about one of his favorite movies, The Descent.  Bryan loves it too and Pete's never seen it.  What will Pete find as his arbitrary reason to be annoyed with a classic this time?  Only one way to find out.  Well...there's probably more than one way, but the easiest way is to just click play.   Check out our stuff on http://scarevalue.com

We couldn't wait to watch The Silence of the Lambs after watching Manhunter back in 1986.  We were so excited that we even managed to (eventually) stay on topic this time!  We're talking Hannibal, Clarice and Chilton on this week's Scare Value Podcast. Check out our stuff on http://scarevalue.com

It's that time of year again...time for a bonus episode of the podcast where Pete and Kitty recount their recent trip down to Orlando for Universal's Halloween Horror Nights.  They break down all ten of this year's houses and everything else of interest.  Bryan is on hand to listen and interject inappropriate commentary.  So, you know...the usual.

The day has come.  After years of bickering about Tobe Hooper's 1974 film The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, the boys are going to trial.  Impartial judge Mark has agreed to hear both sides of the case and issue a binding ruling on the matter.  Is Hooper's obvious masterpiece actually a masterpiece...or will society as we know it crumble once and for all?  Find out on this week's Scare Value Podcast. C...

With their feet firmly planted back in 2026...the Scare Value Boys honor the late Sam Neill by talking about his most famous movie.  Of course, they forget to actually talk much about that role or Neill himself...but what are you going to do?  How did they manage to screw up this simple concept?  Idiots find a way. Check out our stuff on http://scarevalue.com

We're back once again with our annual Spooky Season Spectacular.  Kitty joins Pete and Bryan to preview all the upcoming horror movies heading to theaters, streaming and VOD between now and Halloween.  Pete comes up with a new game to play while doing it...and it distracts from any quality conversation about the releases themselves.  So, yeah...we finally perfected the format. Check out our stuff...

With the fate of the world hanging in the balance, the Scare Value Boys' 1986 journey comes to an end...with a bang.  Before that they talk about Frank Oz's classic movie-musical Little Shop of Horrors.  Can Pete handle watching a musical?  Will Ron Cobb, DeLorean Time Travel Consultant finally make his podcast debut?  Do they manage to stay on topic at all with so much uncertainty and chaos unfol...

The Scare Value Boys 1986 trip hits an unexpected snag...but they might have found a surprising way around it.  Luckily, they have 1986's killer orangutan disguised as a chimpanzee movie Link to help them pass the time.  Inexplicable characters.  Hilarious resolutions.  Link truly has it all.  Except a plot that makes sense. Check out our stuff on http://scarevalue.com

With the Scare Value Boys back on our regular movie watching schedule (in 1986) they tackle a first-time watch for both of them...Wes Craven's Deadly Friend.  Will this killer robot (eventually) movie win them over?  Or will they wish their heads would get crushed by a basketball?  Find out on this week's Scare Value Podcast. Check out our stuff on http://scarevalue.com

The Scare Value Boys close out their 1986 version of Watch-Alaugust with a trip to the Drive In to watch the Gordon/Crampton/Combs/Lovecraft classic From Beyond.  Look, we know last year's watch-along of Re-Animator bordered on creepy given our love of Barbara Crampton.  ...  This one doesn't go any better. Check out our stuff on http://scarevalue.com

Watch-Alaugust continues from the 1986 Drive-In as Pete and Bryan revisit a classic from their formative years...Howard the Duck.  Duck boobs, Lea Thompson, Jeffrey Jones and the two longest sequences in film history.  It was the best of times...it was the worst of times.  Most importantly...it was 1986.

It's time for another table read as the Scare Value Boys finally settle one of their long-standing disputes.  After watching The Fly a couple of years ago...or 40...who's counting?...they came away with very different understandings of an important character in David Cronenberg's practical effect masterpiece.  Is Stathis a hero or a villain?  They dive into the original screenplay to find the answ...

Watch-Alaugust 2026 continues 1986 style!  Pete and Bryan head back to the drive-in to try (and fail) to decipher what is going on in Stephen King's lone directorial effort.  What is and isn't a machine?  Who is and isn't a talented film director?  Those questions will only partially be answered as Watch-Alaugust rolls on. Check out our stuff on https://scarevalue.com

Watch-Alaugust 2026 gets underway straight from 1986!  Pete and Bryan head to the drive-in to record a watch-along of John Carpenter's Big Trouble in Little China.  It's a wild movie that deserves a wild watch-along.  Mission accomplished. Check out our stuff on https://scarevalue.com

Our return to 1986 hits a new high with a discussion on Michael Mann's Manhunter.  We fall in love with the weird choices, fantastic aesthetics and watching William Petersen jump through a window.  It gets us very excited to watch The Silence of the Lambs again once we are in a time period where that movie exists.  Join us for a surprisingly in-depth discussion on this 1980's gem. Check out our st...

The Scare Value Boys check into the Bates Motel once again to share their thoughts on Psycho III.  They're still bumming around 1986...and it's not exactly going according to plan.  On the bright side...they get to watch Jeff Fahey devour scenery while Anthony Perkins hands out another great take on his most famous character. Check out our stuff on https://scarevalue.com

The Scare Value Boys are back in 1986...literally.  This time they've time traveled on purpose to bring you another run of episodes from the best year that ever was.  They're kicking off this new season in (poor) style with a discussion of Poltergeist II: The Other Side.  Will it start their trip off with a thud...or will those sweet 1986 vibes be back in effect?  Hope for the latter because they'...

Our Twin Peaks: The Return mini-series comes to a conclusion with this bonus discussion of what in the Hell we think was happening on this incredible limited event series.  Who is the dreamer?  What's the deal with Billy?  How did it all end?  Who was Bill Pullman?  All of these questions and more will be answered as incorrectly as you'd imagine.  Plus...a sneak peak of what's coming up this summe...

Way back when we started Scare Value Podcast we recorded a brief non-spoiler out of theater reaction to Scream VI.  Three years and a quarter years later...we decided to do that again for Evil Dead Burn.  This was recorded in a windy parking lot with a less than professional recording device so the audio can get a bit bumpy...but it's also a brisk 23 minutes so what do you have to lose?  There wil...

We've reached the end of Twin Peaks: The Return...but we're going out in style.  Join us for a watch-along of the epic and enjoyably confounding conclusion of the still way ahead of its time limited series.  Queue up Parts 17 and 18 and watch with us as we throw around complex, conflicting and haphazard theories about what in the world we are watching.  Then come back in a few days when we drop a...

The Scare Value Boys reach the penultimate week of their return to Twin Peaks.  Emotions run high as we lose the Log Lady, Diane's true nature is revealed, Dale Cooper finally returns...and Audrey Horne...well...  Join us for our discussion on Parts 15 and 16 of David Lynch's final masterwork.  It all ends next week with a watch-along for Parts 17 and 18...and a bonus episode where we try to make...

The Scare Value Boys' coverage of Twin Peaks: The Return is hurdling towards its conclusion at light speed.  This week they discuss every weird moment in Parts 13 and 14 of the limited series.  Who is Billy?  Why is Gordon Cole dreaming of a real person?  Is arm wrestling the best way to run an election?  All this and more confusion in this week's Scare Value Podcast. Check out our stuff on https:...

The Scare Value Boys continue their journey back to Twin Peaks with Parts 11 and 12 of Twin Peaks: The Return.  They get into their biggest argument about the meaning of some music playing in a scene...yes, even bigger than their argument about what Andy and Lucy were really arguing about last episode.  That's a lot of arguing.  They agree this show rocks though. Check out our stuff on https://sca...

The Scare Value Boys are still trying to recover from Part 8 of Twin Peaks: The Return while the show starts tying story strands together in some interesting and unexpected ways.  They discuss Part 9 and 10 of David Lynch's final major work as we pass the halfway point of our Twin Peaks: The Return run. Check out our stuff on https://scarevalue.com

The Scare Value Boys reconvene to experience the stunning Part 8 of Twin Peaks: The Return in watch-along format.  They do one for Part 7 too...but anyone who has seen the show before knows that Part 8 is the big draw here.  A mind-blowing hour of television...and one of the finest hours of David Lynch's career.  What does it all mean?  Hell if we know.  But boy is it something.
