Continuing on with Winter Horrorland month and the streak of highly regarded movies, we head to the snowy caps of Antarctica for John Carpenter’s THE THING. This sausage fest has everything, suspicion, paranoia, a crab head, flamethrowers, and lots and lots of scotch! Join us this week as we unpack this box office disaster turned cult favorite: it’s THE THING!

Holy Oscar-buzz, Batman! This week we look at a real classic thriller. In MISERY, we get up close and personal (and some extensive bedroom time) with the infamous Annie Wilkes and her uh, quirks. So hobble on down and get horizontal for this picture show as we take a look at the award-winning MISERY!

Oh, Finland. What have you unleashed upon us? Nazi super soldier/draugr/zombies are after a pot-o-gold and entrails in this underground gorefest. If that seems interesting to you then you’re in for a treat because this one ticks all the carnage candy boxes! Kick back and enjoy as we er, unpack all that this Scandinavian entry has to offer! It’s DEAD SNOW!

Boy, it’s cold out! And dark too! This week the Creepin’ crew bundles up and hunkers down for vampires and frozen towns with 30 DAYS OF NIGHT. Moving from heart throb to leading man, Josh Hartnett gets into hero mode to protect his sleepy Alaskan town from an invading horse of junkie vampires - with less than stellar results. What happens when the vacationing townsfolk come home? Couldn’t Eben bec...

NAUGHTY!!! Have you been a good little boy or girl this year? Well this Santa has a special gift for ya. What do you get when you have a kid scared out of his mind by a Santa that kills his parents? That's right, he grows up and slips on the fat man suite and brings the slay! Punish the wicked, and MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM CREEPIN IT REEL!

When Christmas comes, it takes over a town, and this Christmas has brought something bad with it. Join us as we follow 5 different stories of of holiday horror. From ghosts, changlings, Krampus, and evil dead like elves. And one bad ass Santa putting in some slaying work. It’s beginning to look a lot like a dark Christmas. Feliz Navi-dead!

When Goldberg is your killer Santa, you only have to ask yourself one question: Who’s next? This silly slasher has probably the largest body count we’ve done so far and came as an enjoyable surprise to both of your innocent hosts. What do you do when everyone is on the naughty list? Can a grumpy old angel really save the day? And who the hell decided on curling? It’s SANTAS SLAY!

Ho ho ho! It’s time to pour yourself some spiked ‘nog and pull on your long johns because it’s holiday time once again! This week we take on a major release with a well known cast and some nutty special effects with KRAMPUS. This modern studio take on an old European legend kicks off our holiday month in a super fun way. What does the monster really look like? Why does Santa need such a dark count...

This week we cross the finish line on Zombie month with Lucio Fulci’s ZOMBI. Or is it ZOMBIE? Or is it ZOMBIE 2? Regardless this loosely connected Italian - uh, sequel? - to Dawn of the Dead is gory, squishy, and just so damn weird! In a good way! What can Italian sensibilities add to Romero’s blueprint? Is more gore better? And why am I no longer interested in a Caribbean vacation? It’s ZOMBI!

Welcome to PART ONE of our favorite horror monsters! From dead things to blood suckers we’re taking a look at each category over this two-parter.

This is it, Slashers and Survivor Girls! We are 3/4 of the way to the end with the one that started it all! George A. Romero’s NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD. This low-budget sensation from Pittsburgh gave American cinema the taste for zombie flesh that hasn’t been satisfied yet in over 50 years. What it is about this black and white classic that has captivated audiences for so long? Why are zombies so...

Lawd ha’ mercy, this one’s a doozy! Join your brave podcast heroes as we traverse New Zealand in search of rat-monkeys, mama’s boys, and mutilation. What would one man do for the love of his mother? How does a rat manage to breed with a monkey? And what is that lawnmower blade made of anyway? It’s hard to believe that the guy who made DEAD ALIVE would go on to direct The Lord of the Rings, amirigh...

Welcome to Zombie month! Where we freely say the zed word and try to keep the red off us. This week, we take a look at LITTLE MONSTERS. This surprising indie from 2019, starring an Oscar winner and Olaf is perhaps only our second hidden gem so far. How does a teacher handle a zombie outbreak? Can a deadbeat turn his life around? And will someone PLEASE wash Josh Gad’s mouth out with soap?

Beware the moon! The wolfsbane is blooming and trouble is brewing as we dissect Universal’s THE WOLFMAN and Hammer’s THE CURSE OF THE WEREWOLF. We have two very different takes on the monster legend as one uses a more traditional angle, and the other creates its own myth that is still being repeated in modern horror. How does European sensibility impact the story of the wolf? Has Chaney’s bouffant...

It’s round two of our Monster Mayhem Double Feature. This week, we’re gonna class things up a bit with a trip to the opera! A haunted opera that is. In this corner, we have the silent movie classic from Universal Pictures. In the opposite corner, we have the gothic revival (in color!) from Britain’s Hammer. Can two movies of the same story be any more different and yet be any more perfect? How do...

If being bad is frowned upon, then why is it so much fun! It this bonus episode, Meg and Lunchbox take a peek at a few of their favorite horror bad guys. What do you think? What some are your favorites? Enjoy the conversation!

Every girl goes through that special time when the blossom into a woman. Their body changes include: hair in funny places, mood swings, and an unexplainable craving for mayhem and death. It’s GINGER SNAPS!

It’s ya’ birthday! Y’all better pick up the phone! This week, we catch the nearest time loop for Groundhog’s Day meets Halloween: HAPPY DEATH DAY. This indie sleeper became a massive hit. But what was it about this charming entry that was so appealing? Why is Tree stuck in that time loop? And how many of us learned how to not be a shitty housemate after seeing this? It’s HAPPY DEATH DAY!

Cheerleaders, nerds, jocks, and misfits unite! Our teachers are aliens! This week, we swim back to the 90s to take a a look at this oft passed over horror/sci-fi joint. THE FACULTY is a snapshot of 90s teen goodness that has a little something for everybody. How well does this translate to a 21st century crowd? Are the aliens even effective? And what is it about some body snatcher movies that make...

Circle, Circle, Dot, Dot, now you’ve got your cootie shot! This week, we go back to life in K-12 with COOTIES! This Elijah Wood joint puts a unique spin on the zombie film. We promise that you’ll never look at chicken nuggets the same after this one.

Hey, Slashers and Survivor girls! And we know what you’re thinking, we already put out an episode this week. And you would be correct. However, for funsies, our intrepid hosts have decided to take a look at a unique entry into the world of entertainment: Stephen King’s THE SHINING. An oddball for sure, there are three distinct adaptations of the same story, and we came to rip them to pieces!

What happens when you combine one part school bullying, one part parental abuse, a dash of religion, and a pinch of telekinesis? Why, you get CARRIE of course! Stephen King’s first publication and adaptation is our entry into Back to Cruel month. Is this a good way to start? Does the anti-bullying message come across? And does being nice always pay off? It’s CARRIE!

Welcome to the final film for our Master of Horror: Wes Craven series - SCREAM. Arguably Craven’s most successful film franchise, we decided SCREAM would be the perfect bow and touch of glitter for our second theme month. Does SCREAM live up to its legacy? What were the long lasting effects of “meta horror”? And what exactly are the origins of the name, “Skeet”? It’s SCREAM! Skeet Skeet Goddamn!
