JumpScare! The Horror Podcast

This special bonus episode is dedicated to the movie everyone is talking about Malignant.  We're joined by our friend Carrie who was one of the five people that actually saw this in theaters.

For this month's second serving we are covering A Return to Salem's Lot.  Which as it turns out has nothing to do with the original.  Directed by Larry Cohen, this movie is cited as his worst film. Do we agree? Listen to find out! Hey it's a young Tara Reid Where to find us: https://jumpscare.podbean.com https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/jumpscare/id1436554914?mt=2 https://www.youtube.com/channe...

This month we're going to talk about horror movies based on novels or short stories.  We're starting with Stephen King because he obviously has the most material.  We chose one of his lesser known adaptations The Night Flier.  Reporter Richard Dees is on the trail of a vampire who has his own private plane.    Don't turn around.

Our Wes Craven month concludes with Deadly Friend.  This is another sad example of a Wes Craven film that was tampered with by the studio and basically ruined.  The ending is one of the most bizarre ever.   Just some friends and their murder bot.     Where to find us: https://jumpscare.podbean.com https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/jumpscare/id1436554914?mt=2 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCH00...

This special bonus episode is all about the new Candyman film.  We were able to catch a special advanced screening so that we could share our thoughts on it.   Where to find us: https://jumpscare.podbean.com https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/jumpscare/id1436554914?mt=2 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCH00Ygf2EQQOmqmo5_RsEyg   https://open.spotify.com/show/5EmdRIgfMSFDH73DGSon6o https://podcasts...

Wes Craven month continues with 2010's My Soul To Take.  This was the first movie that Craven had both written and directed since New Nightmare in 1994.   We learn a lot about condors in this movie, more than I ever needed to know.  Condorman is very scary, scarier than the Ripper Where to find us: https://jumpscare.podbean.com https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/jumpscare/id1436554914?mt=2 https:...

Craven month continues with Cursed from 2005.  To say this movie had a troubled production is putting it mildly.  This movie was reshot so many times no one is sure how many version there are.  The end result is not what they intended I'm sure.  This is Wes Craven's thoughts on the Weinsteins interfering with his movie.

We're in Wes Craven month, so this months second serving is Scream 2.  Craven wasn't involved with a lot of sequels to his movies, so we had to choose between this and The Hills Have Eyes Part II.   We definitely made the right call. We're still mad about this part.   Where to find us: https://jumpscare.podbean.com https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/jumpscare/id1436554914?mt=2 https://www.youtube...

This month we're celebrating Wes Craven's life by talking about some of his less celebrated films.  We're starting the month with Deadly Blessing which celebrates its 40th anniversary this year.   This is not the look you want to see.

This week we're covering Blood Fest from 2018.  As always if you're invited to a large festival that no one has heard of and seems suspicious, you probably shouldn't go.   Where to find us: https://jumpscare.podbean.com https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/jumpscare/id1436554914?mt=2 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCH00Ygf2EQQOmqmo5_RsEyg   https://open.spotify.com/show/5EmdRIgfMSFDH73DGSon6o http...

This week we started to cover Shark Lake from 2015, but it was just not something we wanted to subject ourselves to after we started it. So instead we covered Werewolves Within.  A typical day in the country.   Where to find us: https://jumpscare.podbean.com https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/jumpscare/id1436554914?mt=2 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCH00Ygf2EQQOmqmo5_RsEyg   https://open.spoti...

This week continues our aquatic theme with Piranha 3DD as our second serving for the month.  This is the sequel to the 2010 remake of Piranha and the second entry in the series.  This movie is over the top and crazy and a generally fun ride. The carnage scene Betty mentions in the podcast. Where to find us: https://jumpscare.podbean.com https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/jumpscare/id1436554914?mt...

This bonus episode is about Netflix's new horror film Fear Street 1994.  Betty was a big fan of the books, but does the movie live up to her expectations? Tune in to find out!    Seems familiar.....

This week we're diving deep underwater to cover Deep Star Six from 1989.  The year 1989 saw several aquatic horror movies released, including Leviathan, The Abyss, Lords of the Deep and The Rift.  None of them were successful including this one.    I've seen weather maps with better effects.     Where to find us: https://jumpscare.podbean.com https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/jumpscare/id1436554...

Well, this is another contender for worst movie we've ever covered.  This one had a low bar and managed to not rise above it.  The film this week is WitchTrap from 1989.  The movie that proclaims on the box it's not a sequel to Witch Board.   Watching this film may cause this face to be made.  Where to find us: https://jumpscare.podbean.com https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/jumpscare/id143655491...

This week we're covering one of Shad's favorites and one of Betty's most disliked, and they're both House From 1986.

This week we're covering 1996's The Frighteners.  This is a favorite of Betty's but one Shad hasn't seen since it was in theaters.  This episode devolves into some rambling asides and gives random previews of upcoming episodes.    Jeffrey Combs really committed to this.

This week's second serving is something a little different.  Ouija Origin of Evil is the second film in the Ouija series, but it's actually a prequel.  Written and directed by Mike Flanagan, this one goes above the usual mainstream sequel/prequel.     Where to find us: https://jumpscare.podbean.com https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/jumpscare/id1436554914?mt=2 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCH0...

This week we're looking at a movie that was a staple in video stores back in the 80's.  It's The Monster Club, starring Vincent Price, David Carradine and Donald Pleasance.   That's a pretty awesome table.  Where to find us: https://jumpscare.podbean.com https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/jumpscare/id1436554914?mt=2 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCH00Ygf2EQQOmqmo5_RsEyg   https://open.spotify.c...

This months second serving is 30 Days of Night: Dark Days.  This straight to video sequel to the 2007 film was released in 2010.  This is one of the better straight to video sequels that we've run across,   The intrepid vampire hunters Where to find us: https://jumpscare.podbean.com https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/jumpscare/id1436554914?mt=2 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCH00Ygf2EQQOmqmo5_R...

This month we're covering monster movies all month.  That's right it's MONSTER MAY.  We're kicking it off with Clive Barker's Rawhead Rex.  Set in Ireland this film was released in 1986 and promptly ignored.  Did it deserve this snub?

This week we're talking about Demon Seed from 1977.  Based on a Dean Koontz novel, it's about an AI that wants to have a baby.  I'm sure we all know that this will end well for everyone.   It is "something" that you won't like Susan Where to find us: https://jumpscare.podbean.com https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/jumpscare/id1436554914?mt=2 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCH00Ygf2EQQOmqmo5_RsEy...
