Barely Living Dread Girls Podcast

Soooooo sorry for the delay on this episode! insert various excuses for it here that no one actually cares about . And don't talk about how its not pride month anymore, its ALWAYS PRIDE. Stay Spooky <3

HAPPY PRIDE QUEENS!!! We're doing a whole month of queer horror because horror. is. queer. LGBTQ+ people have been apart of cinema and art in general since the beginning of time and for a few weeks, we're going to celebrate the whole community highlighting some of our favs! Love is love and we are all human <3

This week we're covering what is looking like will be our favorite movie of 2026. Ralph Fiennes melancholic performance in this film is like a warm hug and in between those scenes, you're treated to Jack O'Connell chewing scenery and some pretty awesome gore. Please like and subscribe! Stay Spooky! <3

The best way this movie can be described was said best by Jes on this episode and is now the new title of this movie in our hearts; "Freddy the 13th: A Nightmare on Crystal Lake"

This week we covered a modern, gross take on the classic tale of Cinderella. the Ugly Stepsister from 2025 is disgusting and beautiful and weird and we had a great time talking about it. Its free to stream on Hulu and Shudder currently so ignore our warnings and go watch it! Stay Spooky!

Whew. Its been a while. We've missed you all. We're sorry to keep you waiting so long but we're back and so happy about it. This week we're talking Weapons from 2025, one of our favs from the last year. Buckle up though, a lot of amazing horror movies have come out in the last couple years so we've got a lot to cover! Stay Spooky!

Coming at you with several weeks of Kathryn Newton movies, starting with Lisa Frankenstein! We both loved this movie and we hope you do too!

Monster Movie March Madness continues this week with 2020’s Kristen Stewart driven Underwater. This movie is honestly (and a little unexpectedly?) terrifying! With or without thalassophobia, so many of this scenes are absolutely chilling. PLUS secret C*****u movie! (yes I censored that in case you haven’t seen this movie, go watch it!) Just when you think you have a handle on this movie, shit chan...

Monster Movie March Madness is hereeeeee! And we’re starting off with an absolute banger from 2005, The Descent. A powerful movie about womanhood (Happy  International Women’s day) and friendship and loyalty and… there was something else I swear… Oh yeah! Cave creatures!! Even without the creepy crawlers, this would be a tense and terrifying movie that leaves you holding your breath. But this...

What the fuck… is this movie? Okay y’all, full disclosure, this was not supposed to be a bonus episode but we had no idea how to talk about this time-fucky movie so it only ended up being a half hour. Whoops. Casey’s bad! We (Casey at least) had a lot of fun watching Triangle from 2009 and we definitely suggest watching the movie before listening to this episode. We barely make sense even if you k...

Coming at you with a horror staple this week, the OG gore p*rn, Eli Roth’s breakout movie: Hostel. The effects in this movie hold up beautifully of course. The dialogue? Not so much… I’m not sure if we’re supposed to like the protagonists but I guess it makes it more fun to watch the torture scenes? At least Olie is fun to watch. Also, do you know how hard it is to splice in clips of a movie that'...

Welcome back listeners! We got really deep this week talking about It Follows from 2014! This eerie movie with an amazing  synth-y score is an atmospheric nightmare with awesome acting and a weird premise. If you watched it before this episode, how would you deal with the monster, would you just pass it on to someone else? How would you try to “beat” it? And who else is excited (and a little...

We’d like to play a game… called “why are we the way that we are?” (Spoiler: No one wins) Saw X (2023) was such a fun time to watch and talk about. Are we nerds for liking this stupid franchise so much? Yes. Does Casey still get pumped every time Costas Mandylor comes on screen (or is mentioned)? Also yes. Do Tobin Bell and Shawnee Smith both look incredible? ABSOLUTELY. Lets all thank the creator...

Found footage fall is still rolling and this movie is amazing! Yes, winter is coming. We don’t care. We’re holding on to fall as long as we can. Would you stay in a haunted house for money like Shawn? Did you find him annoying? And did the FREAKING BELIAL ASS MFER FREAK YOU OUT? Because it kinda freaked me out. Go watch Deadstream on Shudder. It's so worth it. https://twitter.com/livingdreadful ht...

Found Footage Fall is hereeeee! Yes it should have been here last week but we tried to record an episode over Zoom while I was on vacation (I do that a lot) and it's just… gone. I’m not sure what happened but I’m not the best with technology. We'll either re-record or maybe release the little bits we have one day. IDK yet. But this is honestly such a good start because Jes is finally about to GET...

We’re baaaack! Sorry we’ve been gone for so long, but we are so happy to be back! It was a crazy few weeks for both of us but we should be going back to about an episode a week. This week, of course, we’re over the river and through the woods but like, nana and pop pop are acting weird. This is probably my favorite Shyamalan movie but even if it's not, this is such a fun time. The acting is amazin...

Found Footage Fall is hereeeee! Yes it should have been here last week but we tried to record an episode over Zoom while I was on vacation (I do that a lot) and its just… gone. I’m not sure what happened but I’m not the best with technology. But this is honestly such a good start because Jes is finally about to GET HIGH and talk about horror movies! (and you can tell…) Hey guys, so what is this mo...

Okay be honest, how many of you had actually heard of this movie before you saw the title of this video? No seriously, where did this come from and who should I thank for its existence? With our wonderful guest Katy, we try so hard to understand and come to terms with how we start this movie following photographer Bardley Cooper to… well the end of this. Watch the movie first if you haven’t alread...

Welcome back to our SVU podcast… oh wait no, Casey just spends 5 minutes talking about it. This is still a horror movie pod… This is our final episode of Stephen King Summerrrrr! And we’re ending on an absolute banger of course. How amazing is Mike Flanagan at adapting Stephen King? And how hot is Carla Gugino? And who else almost passed out at the degloving scene? Hand trauma is just one of the m...

Sometimes, dead is better. It is in this story at least, damn. Who else has seen this BANGER too many times to count? How amazing is Fred Gwynne? And how cute is tiny Miko Hughes? Join us as I try to imitate Judd’s Maine accent (badly). https://twitter.com/livingdreadful https://www.instagram.com/barelylivingdreadful/ tiktok.com/@barelylivingdreadful email: deeperscreeperspod@gmail.com Get the ful...

HAPPY 50 EPISODES!!! Thanks for being with us for so long. And what a damn good movie for our 50th! Listen for how many times I quote the best line of the movie! Who else agrees Christopher Walken is always such an amazing presence on screen. And did that scissor death scene like.. really stick with everyone? Wow. We’re nearing the end of Stephen King Summer! Just Pet Sematary and Gerald’s Game! (...

If you’ve wondered why we haven’t uploaded in a few weeks, we have been having a lot of storage issues on the computer I edit on. But we’re back! From outerspace! Like that meteor! Anyway, here’s our discussion/review of Stephen King’s best anthology, Creepshow, as I use my “notes” that are actually just the original comic. “Just tell it to call you Billy” https://twitter.com/livingdreadful https:...

Stephen King Easter eggs. Unconnected stories. Jawa noises. That’s the best way we know how to describe King’s 1985 anthology Cat’s Eye. What is with the random visages of Drew Barrymore? And why did Stephen King think The Ledge would make a good visual story? And why did eventually he rip his own story off with “Something to Tide You Over”? We are well into our long Summer of Stephen and we are s...

Uhhh…. What is happening in this movie? What exactly is a sleepwalker? Is there any plot at all? And WHY IS HE SLEEPING WITH HIS MOTHER? Stephen King has some… repressed thoughts. Also George Lucas stops by for another lawsuit! We love when he comes by. Sleepwalkers is a 1992 confusing ass, easily forgotten movie with a screenplay written by the man of the Summer that has to be seen to be believed...

This week we keep the Stephen King Summer rolling with the Netflix special In The Tall Grass! We had a lot of fun with this movie! I mean, have you seen how hot Patrick Wilson is (always) as a crazy midwestern dad? And how creepy are those grass people? But how uncomfortable is that birth scene?! Whew. And not even the weirdest thing we’ll cover this summer. (see last week-Dreamcatcher). Also we i...
