JumpScare! The Horror Podcast

This week we're covering The Chill Factor, aka Demon Possessed.  This was a last minute selection since our planned episode had technical difficulties.  So if we sound a little loopy it's because it's 3am when we're recording this.   Well that's not creepy at all  Where to find us: https://jumpscare.podbean.com https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/jumpscare/id1436554914?mt=2 https://www.youtube.com...

This months second serving is Friday the 13th Part 2.  The film celebrates its 40th anniversary this year.  We have many questions about this movie, and very few answers are contained in the film.  We do pose a lot of theories however.   When all else fails, use a pitchfork!

This week we take a spring break trip to Nightmare Beach.  This movie has some amazing actors in it including John Saxon and Michael Parks.  For Shad, Lance LeGault was the one he was excited to see.  Put on your swimsuit and head down to the beach to hear our thoughts on this crazy movie.   It's the infamous "Electric Chair motorcycle"  Where to find us: https://jumpscare.podbean.com https://itun...

For the final movie of Shad's birthday month he went with one he had many things to say about, most of them not good.  This week we're covering Texas Chainsaw 3D although this time we watched in 2D. This is the most important scene in the movie, for many reasons.

This week we finish up Betty's birthday month with one she loves, The Haunting of Julia.  This is a creepy slow burn ghost story that deserves more attention.   The film is also known as Full Circle on Amazon Prime and other services.

This week we're tackling the instant classic Psycho Goreman.  It's been awhile since we've seen a movie this bonkers.  It's off the rails crazy and we mean that in a good way.   This guy is Shad's favorite alien in the movie.   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   h...

This week we're covering the original Tremors from 1990.  This is another film like The Howling that spawned tons of sequels.  The original is still a strong film and great gateway horror movie.       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/sho...

It's a double feature this week as we look at two films that deal with hauntings in very different ways. First up is PORNO where a group movie theater employees in the 90's unleash a succubus.   Then we talk about His House, which details the struggles of two recent immigrants to England as they get forced to live in a haunted house.   Where to find us: https://jumpscare.podbean.com https://itunes...

Our first second serving episode of the year! On the second Tuesday of each month we look at different "Part 2" of a horror franchise.  This month we're covering The Howling 2: Your Sister is a Werewolf.

This week Betty and Shad talk about their favorite and least favorite horror movies of 2020.  We only counted new films that we reviewed or watched this year,so sadly the Descent 2 will not be talked about again.  Shad also talks about his love and hate for two HBO horror series that came out this year. Where to find us: https://jumpscare.podbean.com https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/jumpscare/i...

This week we're talking about two movies.  First up is The Babysitter: Killer Queen, which is one we'd been meaning to cover but kept getting pushed back.   Next up we took a listener request and covered The Lodge.  If you want a sneak peak of what we thought, the picture above sums it up. Where to find us: https://jumpscare.podbean.com https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/jumpscare/id1436554914?mt...

This week we're covering the Shudder original film Anything for Jackson. This movie features the creepiest old people since Rosemary's Baby, and worse you're kind of rooting for them. Never trust a ginger at a satanic club meeting.

This weeks second serving is The Descent 2 from 2009.  The original Descent was one of the best horror films of the decade, so how does this hold up?   Those of you who always wondered what happened to Richie Cunningham's brother Chuck, we found him.  He moved out of state and became a Sheriff. Where to find us: https://jumpscare.podbean.com https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/jumpscare/id14365549...

This week we're talking about House of Wax from 2005.  While advertised as a remake of the Vincent Price classic, it's really more similar to Tourist Trap.  Much maligned at the time, it's really worth watching again with some distance from the whole "Paris Hilton" thing that followed it at the time.   Does anyone really remember her now?   Where to find us: https://jumpscare.podbean.com https://i...

This week we're covering Bloody Birthday, which is a first time watch for both of us. There are a lot of movies that people say would never get made today, and this is definitely one.  This movie goes full bore insane in the first ten minutes and doesn't slow down.   This kid likes guns WAY too much.    Yes, it's the Julie Brown from MTV and who had the song "The Homecoming Queen has gun".     Whe...

This week we're reviewing the new Blumhouse film Freaky, starring Vince Vaughn and Kathryn Newton.  The movie takes some old ideas and gives them some new twists.  We also talk about some possible Halloween connections with this movie.     Where to find us: https://jumpscare.podbean.com https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/jumpscare/id1436554914?mt=2 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCH00Ygf2EQQOmqm...

This months second serving is The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2.  Released in 1986 this movie is a definite departure from the original. This was a first time watch for Betty and it made quite an impression.   Trust me, we discuss this scene.   Where to find us: https://jumpscare.podbean.com https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/jumpscare/id1436554914?mt=2 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCH00Ygf2EQQOmq...

This week we delve into a movie neither of us had seen before.  Back in 1991, before Kevin Williamson or the Wayans thought of it, there was a horror movie called Scary Movie.  The movie was made by Daniel Erickson when he was only nineteen. While an interesting watch, it is a bit of slow burn but it does payoff.  We also learn in this episode that Betty has trouble pronouncing "The Munsters" corr...

This week we're covering the new film from writer/director Ryan Spindell The Mortuary Collection. The film is throwback to the anthologies of the 80's and stars Clancy Brown as mortician Montgomery Dark who guides us through four dark tales.  The film is currently on SHUDDER so sign up and check it out.   We also discuss why Clancy Brown would make a good Tall Man in a Phantasm reboot and who shou...
