On this latest episode of The Horror Obsessive Podcast, Sean Parker and JP Nunez are joined by filmmaker Michelle Iannantuono to discuss her movie Livescreamers and some of the surprising ways it was influenced by the 1985 comedy mystery Clue . If you’ve had a chance to catch Livescreamers during its festival run or if you’re familiar with the original film, Livescream , the Clue influence might c...

Trick ‘r Treat tells five spooky stories that center around beloved Halloween traditions, but there’s a bit of a twist. They all take place in the same town and on the same night, so they intertwine a lot more than you might expect. To take just a couple of examples, characters often appear in more than one segment, and there’s even a scene that gives hosts Sean Parker and JP Nunez a tiny sneak pr...

On this episode of The Horror Obsessive Podcast, JP and Sean Parker do something they've only done once before–discuss a sequel. Back in March, they talked about the 2022 Scream requel, but in all our other episodes, we’ve focused exclusively on original films. And there’s probably a good reason for that. Horror sequels are notoriously bad, so it makes perfect sense that we would mostly pass them...

If you’ve been listening to The Horror Obsessive Podcast for some time, you know Sean and JP don’t often agree about the movies they discuss. Usually, if one likes a film, the other hates it. But there have been some exceptions. For example, in the last episode, they talked about The Monster Squad , a movie they both enjoyed quite a bit. This time, they defy the odds once again. In the latest epis...

If you’ve ever wondered whether the Wolf Man has nards, you’ll love this latest episode of the Horror Obsessive Podcast. JP Nunez and Sean Parker discuss the 1987 cult classic The Monster Squad , and for once, we both agree that this movie is a ton of fun. The Monster Squad is a love letter to the Universal Monsters and horror fanatics of all ages about a group of monster-loving kids who learn tha...

Have you ever watched an adult thriller like Fatal Attraction and thought, “This movie is pretty good, but it would be a lot better if it had some ghosts?” If you answered yes, you’ll love this latest episode of The Horror Obsessive Podcast. Sean Parker and JP Nunez discuss the 2000 supernatural thriller What Lies Beneath (not to be confused with the 2020 flick What Lies Below ), and as usual, the...

On the latest episode of The Horror Obsessive Podcast, Sean and JP talk about the little-known kaiju movie Monster Seafood Wars . JP first became a fan of the film when it played at the Fantasia International Film Festival back in 2020. Receiving good buzz from JP's favorite critics, he revels in the fact a copy now sits proudly in the kaiju section of his Blu-ray collection, and he's excited to i...

If you’re a fan of bizarre parodies that transpose the plots of classic films into completely different contexts, you’re going to love this latest episode of The Horror Obsessive Podcast. After debating The Conjuring vs. Insidious in the last episode , Sean and JP go back to their standard format, discussing a single movie: the 1989 horror comedy Blades . The movie is a bizarre parody of Jaws that...

Talking about everything from the scares to the stories and the characters, Sean and JP, unsurprisingly, can’t seem to agree. Sean is team Insidious , but JP is team Conjuring , and as usual, their differing viewpoints make for a really riveting discussion. That being said, the boys manage to find a bit of common ground. For example, Sean acknowledges The Conjuring's technical merits, while JP adm...

Dane Elcar’s Brightwood was one of the highlights for Sean at Salem Horror Fest this year , sticking out as an off-the-beaten-path original that excels thematically while also being a genuinely disturbing horror portrait of a doomed relationship. It’s sort of the opposite of an anti-rom-com, trapping two people at a pond where infinite versions of themselves begin to populate. Elcar’s snapshot of...

If you’ve ever wondered what you’d get if you combined Psycho and The Texas Chain Saw Massacre , you’re going to love this episode of The Horror Obsessive Podcast. Sean Parker and JP Nunez discuss the 1980 cult classic Motel Hell , a movie about a pair of siblings who own a motel and use it for just about the most nefarious purpose imaginable. They kidnap unsuspecting guests and harvest their fles...

On this episode of The Horror Obsessive Podcast, Sean Parker and JP Nunez discuss one of JP's favorite horror movies of the last few years: Martyrs Lane . The film concerns a young girl named Leah who gets visited by a strange new friend every night and, after a while, helps Leah uncover a dark family secret that have stood between her and her mother since the day she was born. JP's shows an...

After discussing Lee Cronin’s brilliant feature debut, The Hole in the Ground, on their last episode of the Horror Obsessive Podcast, Sean Parker and JP Nunez go to the opposite end of the horror spectrum and discuss a so-bad-it’s-good (or so-bad-it’s-just-bad, depending on your point of view) cult film from the '80s: Mother’s Day . It’s about a trio of young women who go on vacation in the backwo...

On this week's Horror Obsessive podcast, Sean and JP discuss Evil Dead Rise director Lee Cronin's debut feature film, The Hole in the Ground , providing insight into the film's fascinating approach to both changeling and psychological horror. About a single mother worried her son is an imposter, The Hole in the Ground can be interpreted in a multitude of ways, which leads JP and Sean into a deep a...

In our Best of 2022 podcast at the end of last year, myself and co-host JP Nunez ran down a list of our favorite films of last year. I tend to lean more indie when ranking my favorites because, as I have said before, they just seem to have more heart. There's just something about a film operating on a small budget that can bring all of the elements together, like story, characters, and atmosphere,...

On this week's episode, JP and Sean dedicate the episode to Pedro Pascal as they discuss the finale of The Last of Us and his 2015 Office Space meets Vampire comedy Bloodsucking Bastards . Plus, Scream VI fans will hear their takes on the latest franchise installment, and JP gets annoyed when Sean says he's ready for "Ghostface in space." *Please note that something affected the audio quality of t...

This week on The Horror Obsessive Podcast, JP Nunez and Sean Parker jump into the Scream series' last entry, 2022's "requel" film Scream (2022), aka Scream 5, hoping to get you as excited as JP and myself for the arrival of Scream VI. We super-sized our episode this week, talking about everything in Scream (2022), from the meta commentaries on technology and toxic fandom to dissecting scenes in va...

On this week's episode of The Horror Obsessive Podcast, Sean and JP enter Tarsem Singh's psychological nightmare, The Cell , with director K/XI.

The group talks about the wide variety of reference...

Valentine's Day is right around the corner, so this week on the Horror Obsessive Podcast, love is in the air---and, also a dense fumigation smoke. We had a few different titles to choose from to deliver a gimmicky Valentine's day episode, but you've likely heard all you could stand about both versions of My Bloody Valentine and slasher whodunit Valentine . So, this week it was my pick, and I dug d...

Author Lor Gislason joins JP and Sean on this episode to discuss Chuck Russell's 1988 remake of The Blob . As a major influence on their latest book, Inside Out, Gislason singles out inspirational moments from the film while JP and Sean provide comparisons between the film and Gislason's book. The trio also talks about why the 1988 film shouldn't be compared to the original 1958 version, and conte...
