Stef (@witchxpudding), L (@nocturnical), Mel (@heda_mel), Matt (@menameismattie), Al (@maybmockingbird), & Molly (@night_timetea) kick off a month of new millennium throwbacks with the 1998's Urban Legend. You know, the milquetoast college slasher featuring Jared Leto before he was really weird, the Noxema girl who killed someone fr, & why the fuck is Joshua Jackson in every goddamn mo...

The team — Stef (@witchxpudding), L (@nocturnical), Jay (@jayraffertypoet) & Mandon, Mel (@heda_mel), Al (@maybmockingbird), & Molly (@night_timetea) — celebrates the holidays in a very GITM way by playing a giant game of FMK that includes characters from all the movies we watched for season three of the podcast (from 31 days of horror 2022 to the end of Sawtember 2023). This episode was e...

Stef (@witchxpudding), L (@nocturnical), Al (@MayBMockingbird), & Molly (@NightTime_Tea) discuss the slapstick masterpiece that is Sam Raimi's third installment in the Army of Darkness franchise. We talk strangely named medieval women, the effectiveness of Ash in machismo overdrive, & way too many unscary skeletons. This episode was edited by L. This episode is available as a video pod...

Stef (@witchxpudding) & L (@nocturnical) discuss why Evil Dead 2 is one of the best horror movies ever made & why you're wrong if you disagree. Those who disagree will be yeeted into the cellar with sweet Henrietta, who you must go to. This episode was edited by L (video) & Jay (audio). This episode is available as a video podcast on YouTube. Visit us at ghostinthemagazine.site or...

Stef (@witchxpudding), L (@nocturnical), & Jay (@jayraffertypoet) discuss the movie that started it all. While there's some stuff that doesn't land like Ash's sister getting SA'd by an ent & just Scotty in general, the movie's practical effects & campiness make it not just one of our favorites but an iconic cult classic. This is one of very few films that we would u...

Supernatural does a lot of things just right enough to evade notice but they straight up did our boy dirty here in a very 2008 way. Stef (@witchxpudding), L (@nocturnical) & our resident Supernatural expert Avery (@tagliodice on Insta) discuss facial symmetry, season-wide arcs, & boys with scoliosis openly because there still is no "Summon Mel" button. Once there is, it's ove...

Stef (@witchxpudding), L (@nocturnical), & Al (@MayBMockingbird) pick through the goofy mythological mess of Dante's Hotel (2023). This is an extra Ted Raimi month pick to make up for the nightmare that was Planet Raptor & our podcast-husband definitely steps into daddy energy at points within this film. 5 CHUDS!!! This episode was edited by L. This episode is available as a video podc...

They can't all be bangers! Stef (@witchxpudding) & L (@nocturnical) try to find the bright side of "Planet Raptor" for the sake of the podcast's husband, Ted Raimi. Well there's Ted, there is terrible CGI, there's an old horny Juggalo. There's stuff, I guess. This episode was edited by L. This episode is available as a video podcast on YouTube. Visit us at ghostin...

Stef (@witchxpudding), L (@nocturnical), & Al (@maybmockingbird) discuss the upcoming Italian thriller Emmanuelle's Revenge. The conversation veers a bit but we cover the cultural differences in flirting, what constitutes underpants, & why certain behaviors are inherently ick. We also discuss Chekhov's buttplugs, & implore the filmmakers to be more careful with their artsy butt...

Stef (@witchxpudding) & L (@nocturnical) review arguably the best pick of our Ted Raimi month programming, the 1993 slasher Skinner. Raimi plays a traveling serial killer who gets off on skinning & wearing his victims. He has a lot of very sexy problems which weirdly doesn't include carrying a clanking bag around with him wherever he goes (I said... heh heh), but does include shacking...

Stef (@witchxpudding) & L (@nocturnical) kick off Ted Raimi month (Noblivion) with the movie that started it all — the 1989 slasher "Intruder." There's an unhinged middle-aged grocery store manager with some wicked facial hair, a greasy greaser ex boyfriend up to no good, & of course our podcast husband Produce Joe with all of his nerd swag — it's the perfect goofy, gushy...

Jay (@JayRaffertyPoet), Mel (@Heda_Mel), Sadee (@SadeeBee), Al (@MayBMockingbird), & Molly (@Night_TimeTea) tackle one of the worst movies of the month & some other stuff in the final installment of #31daysofhorror 2023.

Stef (@witchxpudding), L (@nocturnical), Mel (@heda_mel), & Matt peruse this weeks selections ranging from sequels that don't belong in the franchise at all to cosmic horror classics.

Stef (witchxpudding), L (@nocturnical), Mel (@heda_mel), & Al (@maybmockingbird) continue Ghost in the Magazine's #31daysofhorror challenge with seven new movies that range from "I'm mad about watching this" to "I'm not mad about watching this." There's no real uniting theme this week, just some absolutely terrible picks & some that were alright. Thank t...

The movie is not widely available until Oct. 12 & we do drop a few spoiler-y items in here so if you don't want it spoiled, bookmark the ep & come back to us in a few weeks.

SPOILERS! L (@n0cturnical/Insta) & Molly (@mollymcgill08/Insta) discuss the new Kenneth Branagh adaptation of the Agatha Christie story "The Hallowe'en Party." We ask the important questions: Is Tina Fey the next scream queen? Is that the kid from the Sixth Sense? & why does he have a soul patch? TLDR: The movie was well-liked by both of us & we rated it high on the GITM...

Stef (witchxpudding) and Sadee (@SadeeBee) CONCLUDE Sawtember with Jigsaw. At this point the gals are out of gas and sick of John Kramer’s shit. One thing about John is if he shenan’d once, he will SHENANIGAN! Allegedly, there’s a consensus amongst Saw fans that this is the worst one in the franchise. Let’s find out why! This episode was edited by Stef. Visit us at ghostinthemagazine.site or follo...

Stef (witchxpudding) and Sadee (@SadeeBee) continue Sawtember with Saw V. The stakes are upped here with a 5-man endeavor that’s essentially an experiment on human behavior. Will they work together, which is weird af for John Kramer to facilitate, or will every person be out for themselves - a v common theme here? This episode was edited by Stef.

Stef (witchxpudding) & Mel (Heda_Mel) jump into the latest installment in The Conjuring Universe with The Nun 2! This “relatively” spoiler free take dives into possession motives, visuals to die for, and the Farmiga sisters - some of our favorite Scream Queens. This episode was edited by Stef.

Stef (@witchxpudding) & Sadee (@SadeeBee) break down the traps & plot motivations behind the third installment in the Saw franchise. They explore the twists & turns of the interactions between John Kramer / Jigsaw & his primary victim, Jeff before settling on simply — fuck John, fuck Jeff. The assessment is more than fair. This episode was edited by L. Visit us at ghostinthemagazin...

Stef (@witchxpudding), Sadee (@sadeebee), & L (@nocturnical) may or may not be able to saw their foot off to escape some weird moralist toilet dungeon depending on the stakes. I mean does he have my mom? My cat? Is there a way to just saw my head off instead? These are the important questions. & of course, who tf do you think you are, you weird b*tch? This episode was edited by L (video) &...

Stef (@witchpudding), L (@nocturnical), and Mel (@heda_mel) revisit one-third of the basic 90s slasher starter pack with I Know What You Did Last Summer. Even with a bangin soundtrack and wardrobe, the gang isn’t distracted from asking the age old question: Why are these kids so dumb? This episode was edited by Stef.
