Ket tells Kim about part 2 of Do Not Enter while the girls enter their 400TH EPISODE!!!! (WHAT?!?!?) Stay tuned for the Sammie Awards next week! But until then, let’s get out of this hellscape we were told not to enter. And, no, I don’t mean the current state of the world. I mean, this abandoned hotel. Most importantly, we’ll learn if Kim will live or die in Do Not Enter. Dir. Marc Klasfeld Writer...

Ket tells Kim about the urban explorer horror, Do Not Enter. Listen, in today’s world, why NOT infiltrate an obviously haunted murder hotel and try and find 300 million dollars? It’s not like the “Po-” are gonna come! A monster seeking a bride in order to gain eternal power from hell just feels like a Tuesday at this point. Stay tuned for part 2 to see if Kim wants to join Ket on a completely insa...

Kim continues telling Ket about Starry Eyes. It’s full of triggering stuff, guys, not the least of which is a harkening back to Kim’s days imprisoned in her own Big Taters. But whatever horrors this movie brings up, it doesn’t compare to the horrors of today’s world. So, let’s pop some acid with Ketryn and see what sticks, shall we? Most importantly, we’ll learn if Ket will live or die in Starry E...

Kim tells Ket about a movie too triggering for the girls to have done any earlier than the 397th episode. Starry Eyes sends the girls barreling back to a time and place that feels, frankly, all too real. But Kim apparently is far enough removed that she doesn’t even know the correct term for Casting Director. Stay tuned for part 2 to see if Kim survives the PTSD of working in a chain restaurant. D...

Ket finishes telling Kim about Friday the 13th (2009) which apparently came out solidly in the mid 80s… or were the 00s just the 80s but with impossibly low cut jeans? Anyway, one thing we KNOW was not in style in the 00s was wearing lockets with pictures of people you don’t know, that sort of kind of look like you. That being said, Kim will be getting a locket with a picture of a pale brunette th...

Ket tells Kim about THE FINAL FRIDAY THE 13TH! Holy Smokes! We did it, y’all! We’ve learned a lot over this journey. But the main take away is that 9 times outta 10… we’re siding with Jason. We’re also seeing some major similarities between the 80s and the 00s that are pretty hard to swallow. Stay tuned for part 2 of the finale next week! Dir. Marcus Nispel Writers Victor Miller, Damian Shannon, M...

Ket closes out the month of love with part 2 of Heart Eyes. Listen, this isn’t a GREAT first date… but it’s not the WORST first date. I’m pretty sure there are a few dates from the girls past where they would have welcomed the appearance of a serial killer. Most importantly, we’ll learn if Kim will live or die in Heart Eyes. Dir. Josh Ruben Writers Phillip Murphy, Christopher Landon, Michael Kenne...

Ket gives Kim and all the Sammies a belated Valentine’s day gift with Heart eyes starring Chad from Scream, and Devon Sawaaa! If a Hallmark movie had a serial killer in it, it would be this movie. Sometimes death is just so romantic. Stay tuned for more Devon after these messages. Dir. Josh Ruben Writers Phillip Murphy, Christopher Landon, Michael Kennedy Sophia Zolan's horror short "SHADOW": http...

Kim finishes telling Ket about the second half of this riveting masterpiece. When you put Freddy in the mix with other misogynist dorks… Jason doesn’t seem so bad, honestly. Grab your jello and let’s finish this! It is finished, right? There isn’t one more to tell in exactly one month is there? Most importantly we’ll learn if Ket will live or die in Freddy vs. Jason. Dir. Ronny Yu Writers Damian S...

Kim tells Ket about the millionth installment of their Friday the 13th series with special guest, Fred D. Krueger. What are these two crazy kids gonna get up to?

Ronny Yu Writers Damian Shannon and Mark Swift Based on characters created by Wes...

Ket finishes telling Kim about this Hallmark (Horrormark, if you will ::door slam sound::) film. You know the trope: struggling musician moves back to home town, rekindles love with old flame, utter creepiness ensues. Most importantly, we’ll learn if Kim will live or die in The Confession. Writer/Dir. Will Canon Support the girls on PATREON for some sweet BONE CON (bonus content) at:   w...

Ket tells Kim about The Confession (2025) starring an impressively creepy crapbag. Kim says she hopes Rami doesn’t turn into a creepy crapbag… Ket reminds her that every kid, at some point, has a little creep and a little crap. Best to just power through. But at least she’s prepared and knows the signs. Stay tuned for part 2 to find out if Naomi will need to join the CCB Support Group. Writer/Dir....

Ok, it’s part 2 of Bring Her Back and Ket JUST realized why Kim picked this one! Kim’s back… Bring Her Back… get it? Clever girl! Normally, it’s a week between parts but this one is just a quick pee break. We’re so glad Kim’s back so Ket didn’t have to keep her body in a freezer and reanimate it with some random person baby-birding her soul back into her mouth. Most importantly, we’ll learn if Ket...

For the first time in KKSAM Herstory, neither Kim NOR Ket will be telling the tale. We shall be taking a ride on the words of ::drum roll:: PRODUCER ARIK! As sad as we are to not have Devon in this one, it was better for Ketryn’s marriage that it worked out this way. Bimberly is still doing great! Stay tuned for part 2 where we FINALLY get to our DESTINATION! Dir. David R. Ellis Writers J. Mackye...

Ket finishes telling Kim about the Christmas classic, Terrifier 3. I don’t know what all the fuss was about! It wasn’t that gorey! Just a cozy little Christmas flick to me. Just kidding.

Damien Leone KKSAM Episode 36 Terrifier:  https://art19.com/shows/kim-and-ket-s...

The Ghost of Christmas Past Ket tells the “about-to-burst” Ghost of Christmas Past Kim about Terrifier 3.

Ket continues telling Arik about Together, starring Alison Brie and Dave Franco: a real life couple with a cautionary tale for another real life couple.

Most importantly, we’ll learn if Ketrik will live or die in Together. Writer/Dir. Michael Shanks Support th...

Ket tells Arik about Together, starring real life couple Alison Brie and Dave Franco. Of all the things to be disturbed by, Arik is apoplectic about Rat Kings. (Google at your own peril.) The parallels feel like a pointed warning directed at KKSAM’s real life couple: stick to rain water. Also, Bimberly’s doing great! Stay tuned for part 2 where we discover if the Spice Girl prophecy comes true. Wr...
