Talk to Me is an A24 film and the directorial debut of the Philippou brothers. We have to admit, it is a good one and we look forward to more horror from them. This film covers a grieving daughter and her friends who become addicted to possession via a hand said to be cut from medium. Although we never get to know the true story behind the hand, we do dive into the darks themes and theories surrou...

For this episode Izzie invites you to take cat nap and lap up some coffee (or other drink) while you listen to some inspired fan fiction. Izzie selected 4 short fan fiction stories related to Jeepers Creepers, John Carpenter's Halloween, and The Lost Boys. There's a little smut, a lot of creativity, and a dash of listener reviews to enjoy.  In the words of dvskat - Many Meows, Kittens If you would...

We present part one of the deadly musical, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. From a cannibal family living in caves to a string of not-so-truecrime songs the history behind this story is convoluted and very dark. We try to cover it all in this first half of Sweeney Todd. *MEOW* If you would like to send us your theories, movie reviews, or recommendations: find us on instagram and fac...

For this 30-ish meow-nets we go over 4 tv shows we watched as kids and the awfully dark theories that people have come up with. Such theories include lots of death, mental illness, drug abuse, and the idea that Bikini Bottom is the result of nuclear waste.  If watched Winnie the Pooh, The Rugrats, Courage the Cowardly Dog, or Spongebob Squarepants then you may want to listen for a whole new perspe...

What a glorious day for another episode of Horror, Cats, and Witch hats. Makes us...not sick? We kept it light and breezy this episode after the doozy that was Hereditary with the 1993 Disney cult classis, Hocus Pocus. Don't worry, Izzie still managed to find multiple pages of research covering behind the scenes, theories, and history.  If you would like to send us your theories, movie reviews, or...

This is a big one! Not only in length but in the history of Horror, Cats, and Witch hats as we had the absolute pleasure to host Lucy from the incredible true crime and comedy podcast, Wine and Crime (available where you listen https://wineandcrimepodcast.com/ and @wineandcrimepod).   She chose Hereditary as our featured Halloween film and what a great pick it was! In typical Ari Aster fashion the...

Ginger Snaps (2000) As Caity has mentioned before this is her favorite werewolf film. We talk about the inspirations, the werewolf boobs, the historic werewolf trials, and of course, the werewolf boobies.  This episode was recorded a while ago, but due to technical difficulties is posted late. Izzie will do better on German time from now on...although we make no guarantees.  Send us movie recommen...

We are back with our last holiday episode, originally intended for release in 2022...so here it is.  This new Shudder original certainly brings a whole new aesthetic to Christmas movies with all the gore, murderous Santa bots, neon, sex, and metal. Personally, I (Izzie) would love to see a Tori Tooms archeology/horror mash up. With a name like that, how could she not dig up wild artifacts? Tell us...

We hope you don't totally loath our 30-ish meow-nets of horrorcore music which ranges from metal to EDM. We quickly introduce the terrifying musical stylings of Skynd, Ice Nine Kills, Rob Zombie, Cannibal Corpse, and Figure.  Sources   https://www.loudersound.com/features/the-5-most-gruesome-cannibal-corpse-songs https://screenrant.com/rob-zombie-music-videos-horror-movie-inspiration/#:~:text=Horr...

We are back to add haunts to your dreams.  This film is a cult classic that just got it's first theater release this year (2022) despite being first shown in 2007.

We also talk about some new and upcoming releases to get excited about, the truth behind the candy poisoning...

Did it hit or miss for you?  We talk about the inspirations, the short story it is based on (and the big guy who wrote it), as well as all the lame theories floating around for this film.  You can read Joe Hill's short story, The Black Phone via the link below or purchase the full book of short movies pretty much anywhere currently: https://havenner.weebly.com/uploads/2/0/5/7/20575006/theblackphon...
