Selling The Scream

It's that time of year again folks, so gather round the campfire and listen as we dissect this entry in everyone's favorite holiday franchise!

Our first Indonesian film. Is it going to win Jed over or will Josh have to resort to black magic to get him on board the Folk horror hype-train?

This episode was a real struggle to get out so you better appreciate it!  Kidding....maybe

Joined once again by our most frequent guest Jason Duff we try to nail down just how this is a horror film.

Looking at another classic of the genre this week.

The oldest movie we've covered by far, we dig up Frankenstein to see what makes it tick.

It's our two year anniversary here at Selling the Scream and we are going right back to the Poltergeist well with the sequel to last years anniversary movie pick.  Hey if it ain't broke...

Our first dose of director James Wan and it. Is. A. Doozy.  Join us as we watch this big dumb movie and find out if Jed is buying what Josh is selling this week.

Join us as we discuss the sequel to our very first movie! Will our high praise for the original carry over to the follow up? I dunno!

This movie is nonstop screwball comedy. A real laugh a minute type affair... or is it?

Where to start with this one?  Probably the most surprising movie I've watched in quite some time.  If you haven't seen it maybe check it out first before listening.

We are joined by a special guest this week to talk about one of her favorite horror films.

Coming too you a little early because you know we couldn't let today go by without remark.  that's right October 31st, Halloween, and what better way to celebrate than with our favorite international man of mystery Michael Myers.

After a short break we return with a direct follow up to our previous episode. A first for this podcast.

We are sticking to a theme this week friends. It's ...ugh..."Steph-tember...and we are once again watching the adaptation of a novel by Stephen King. This time The Shining is on the menu and boy, is there a lot to chew on.

This week we tackle a pair of firsts as we dive into the mind of Stephen King and the vison of Brian De Palma with 1976's Carrie.

Happy Birthday horror fans!  That's right this week on StS we have a very special birthday edition for you! Our resident horror nerd Josh is getting another year older, and another year wiser. Will it help him make the sale?  Listen and learn friends.

The high holiday is upon us once again, so settle in for a long one. Josh has a lot to say about this movie and it turns out so do I.

Think Phantasm meets We Are Still Here directed by Heironymous Bosch and voiced by the cast of an 80's anime dub.

Josh has another Asian horror flick for us this week. Will his dastardly plan to bring a little culture into Jed's life succeed, or will our hero derail this attempt as he has so many others?

We play another round of "is this horror" in this supernatural thriller featuring two heavy hitters in their prime. Bobby De Niro and Young Mickey Rourke try to out method one another scene after scene. Does it work? Listen and find out!

This love letter to 80's horror films is a slow burn that combines the satanic panic with rad music to create a remarkably faithful recreation of movies from that time.
