Exploring The Myths Behind The Legends

Frank Cotton definitely got more than he bargained for in his endless quest for thrills. At least his brother Larry's cheating wife Julia is there to comfort him when he escapes from the hellish prison that the leather clad creatures known as Cenobites took him to :) Join us as we discuss this 80s supernatural family drama, from the mind of none other than Clive Barker. If you're looking for some...

You know, sometimes you gotta change your look. As fashion trends come and go, we all have to adapt. We can't dress like people did in the 80s anymore without getting some strange looks (plus, those Spandex look uncomfortable AF). As such, our friendly neighborhood Chupacabras has somehow morphed from his initial alien-like appearance (as seen in our awesome logo :) ) to something that looks more...

Watching movies from other countries is a good way to learn about the way people from other cultures do things :) You can learn about their cooking, their language, how they summon demons ... In yet another tale of messing around with things you don't quite understand (kinda like us when we decided to start a podcast), we look into what happens to Veronica when she decides to contact the spirit of...

Most of us could probably relate to Thomasin, the main character in this film. She wants to experience life on her own terms and not feel stifled by her parents, her religion, or her society. The question would be, how much would we be willing to give up to get that?  Join us as we talk about witchcraft as it was outlined by the British Parliament (!), as well as the infamous Salem Witch Tria...

How far would you go to obtain something that you've looked for practically your whole life? Visit a remote location all the way across the world? Maybe even visit Hell itself? That is the question that the main characters in this movie seek to answer as they explore a ghastly location looking for a legendary relic.  Join us as we talk about the different elements of this suspenseful film. Fo...

Picture yourself in a luxury cruise ship with all the amenities. Good food, great music, excellent service ... everything seems like a dream. Suddenly, you find yourself in the middle of what appears to be a freak accident, and everyone around you is dead. After what may be one of the most creative and awesome first scenes to have ever been shot in movie history, the story becomes one of salvage,...

Imagine you're trying to walk to your home in rural Mexico one night, when suddenly, a terrifying looking man appears before you on horseback and offers you some gold coins ... would you take them without asking any questions? While some people say this mysterious rider is evil, others say he will escort you home and make sure you're safe, so he' kind of a cool dude ... provided you don't take his...

Everything has an opposite, and Santa Claus isn't the exception. Krampus is the evil counterpart to the jolly figure of Santa, and he's definitely not here to mess around. He's all about handing out harsh punishments to the ones who've been naughty, and he ain't afraid to bust out some whips and chains to get his point across.  Then again, some of you wouldn't really consider that a punishmen...

Keep them away from bright lights. Keep them away from water. Don't let them eat after midnight. Well, if it weren't for that last one, I'm sure many of us could call ourselves a Mogwai :P Join us on the first installment of our Christmas Double Feature as we talk about this timeless horror/comedy classic from the 80s. We also looked into the origins of Gremlins in the real world as a possible sup...

Well, it certainly isn't a friendly voice.  In what's become somewhat of a trend for us lately, we discuss another woods dweller in this episode, and this is one that allegedly roams the forests of certain parts the of the northern US and Canada. Join us  as we converse about the possible origins and habits of the Wendigo and cover the different ways in which this creature can affect a p...

Four guys decide to go hiking in the Swedish countryside as a way to celebrate the memory of a recently deceased friend. After one of them sprains his ankle, they decide to find a quicker way back to civilization through a shortcut in the forest. Instead of finding a way out, they'll be dragged into a nightmare where their friendship will be tested to its limits. Join us as we also try our hand at...

Imagine you're trying to live your best life, going through the motions like any average person, when all of a sudden, some weird, unexplained phenomena start occurring in your home. Maybe it starts to affect your family life, or maybe, you're perfectly cool with it (?!). Either way, you decide to take some video. You may not notice it at that time, but after going through the footage, you think t...

How much can having enough power to rule the world be worth to you? Are there any limits or lines that you wouldn't cross, no matter what? If so, then you're already a better person than a matriarch of this family, for whom it appears that nothing is out of the question. Even sacrificing some people from her own family to an ancient demon ... Join us as we discuss this and other details of this in...

Are you feeling lonely lately? Don't fret! We know of a way for you to make a new friend without having to leave the comfort of your own residence! Simply follow a very specific sequence of steps, and you'll have a new friend that won't ever leave your side.  Or just let you leave.  Ever :) For this episode, we decided to look into the Japanese ritual of Hitori Kakurenbo, through which y...

Imagine, if you will, that you're taking a nice, relaxing walk in the countryside one evening. Everything is great, and to top things off, you could swear that the postcard worthy view is complemented by an eerie whistled tune. Wait ... what? For our Season 2 Premiere, we decided to discuss the South American folk legend of El Silbon. This entity roams primarily around Venezuela and Colombia, and...

They say all good things come to an end, but they also say that endings bring forth new beginnings. As we ponder on the meaning of these two philosophical gems, we are happy to announce that this is the last episode of Season 1 of our podcast. Don't be sad, alarmed, or distraught, however, because although the first Season has reached its end (already?!), we are poring over audience suggestions (a...

Is there life after death? That's a question for the ages that everyone from scientists to philosophers, from doctors to religious people, and many others more have attempted to respond. In this movie, it certainly appears as though there is. However, the line between life and death is blurred for certain people that are somewhat close to it, as is the case of Matt, a young man dealing with a canc...

Ever feel lonely and in need of some loving? Well, Professor Guildea sure never did. As a man of science, he had no want or time for love, or any other human connection. However, it may seem as though something supernatural thought he was a hot stud and decided to get all up on his body.  Is he being stalked by a thirsty ghost? Is he overstrained from his scientific work and going through a m...

It's Halloween season! :D We have decided to start implementing some changes to our format based on some audience suggestions and to start heading into the end of the first season with a series of special episodes. On this one, we don't discuss any horror film or story at all. Rather, we decided to contact a medium named Mariah and ask her to describe how she goes about conducting her sessions, am...

Is destroying everything and everyone by sending an army of flesh-eating demons justified if it is done as an act of vengeance ? In this Netflix animated adaptation of the acclaimed series of videogames, Dracula sure seems to think so. Join us as we discuss the many themes that were explored in the short (but amazing) first season, including his motives for waging war against humanity. As a bonus,...

So ... we decided to tackle the Netflix series dealing with the backstory of one of the most popular horror franchises in recent times. The result? Well, we were confused AF and could not agree on an explanation as to how or why things happened :P With a long history of grief that includes, but is not limited to, kidnapping, abuse, infidelities, murder, mysterious disappearances, (and maybe even w...

Mr. Brooks is the Man Of The Year :) He has a gorgeous wife (but kinda ditzy), a loving daughter (or so it seems), a successful business (making boxes?), and he is widely respected in his community (money talks). He's pretty much the embodiment of the American dream! Oh, and he's also a mass murderer who has an evil (but really cool) imaginary friend, so ... yeah. It could be argued that this film...

Asking the question "does this look infected?" has never been more appropriate as it was in this movie. A rare illness of questionable origin affects the citizens of South Korea, and our protagonists deal with it while on a speeding train. We see people rising to the occasion and others revealing their selfish nature. Which one would you be? And before you answer, are you completely sure? *By the...

"Hey, you! Yes, you! Is your life going down the drain? Are you feeling at your absolute lowest and need to get away from it all? We have the answer for you!

Join us in the episode to find out, as we discuss the characters, plot, and symbolism of this film, among other things ...
