Let's Scare My Girlfriend to Death

Hello and welcome to July. Well we finally did it, we watched the 1980's Friday the 13th. Cyndi somehow being from New Jersey had never seen this seminal slasher film and the reason for the summer camp slasher craze of the 80s. However, did we like it? Did it scare her to death? Join us this week to find out. 

Sorry for the irregular posting of episodes. This has been a crazy summer for both of us here at Let's Scare My Girlfriend to Death. We hope to get back on track next month as we continue a Summer of horror with a month of how I spent my summer horror movies.    In the meantime enjoy our episode on Sleepaway Camp and Cyndi's genuine surprise at the ending. 

Hello, we are so back with a belated month of summer camp horror movies. We are going to kick this shindig off with a holdover from last month's movies about moms with The Final Girls. A little movie with a lot of heart and some incredible jokes. Join us as we venture off to the Let's Scare My Girlfriend to Death summer camp.

We continue our month of mother's day movies with a horror mom that's more cautionary than some of our previously celebrated moms. We watched and finally got to record our episode for Lights Out. If you're a long time listener you know anything that as regular and well crafted jump scares really scares Cyndi. However was it enough to kill her? You'll have to listen to find out and join us next wee...

Did you watch Panic Room and think I loved this but I wish it were a tonal roller coaster that's both funny and scary? Well then you're in luck because we watched Housebound. A movie that scared Cyndi more than Panic Room by a country mile. Did we like it? Where we entertained? Did it scare Cyndi to death? Join us to find out. 

We begin our month of celebrating moms with a New York City Brownstone, a hidden fortune, a corn rowed Jared Leto, a sympathetic Forest Whitaker, a psychopathic Dwight Yoakum, a young Kristen Stewart, a protective motherly Jodie Foster, a meticulous director in David Fincher, and it all centers on a Panic Room. That's right we watched the 2002 David Fincher Panic Room join us if you dare. 

We ended the month with a serial killer film that feels a little like Zodiac by way of True Detective Season 1. That's right we watched Marshland, a Spanish serial killer - police procedural movie to end our month of award winning films. Did we like it? Were we floored by how pretty it was? Did it scare Cyndi to death? Join us to find out. 

We watched The Secret in their Eyes. Not the American remake with Julia Roberts and Nicole Kidman. The original 2009 film from Argentina and all we can say is wow. One of the great nearly forgotten revenge movies and a film that not only won major Goya awards but won best foreign language film at the Oscars. Did we like it? Did it scare Cyndi to death? Join us to find out and enjoy this incredible...

We are back and we figured what better day to drop our Shin Godzilla episode. The day the first teaser for Godzilla Minus Zero was released. Well we did it. We watched another Godzilla movie. This movie is part allegory and part Godzilla movie by way of David Cronenberg. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did. 

As things in Appalachia (and all of America) get harder and harder to navigate, your favorite podcast-couple-who break-down-horror-movies-thematically-by-month are taking a break from making episodes. We'll be back in April. Until then... Mind the doors. 

Back to back Chan Wook Park films on the Let's Scare My Girlfriend to Death timeline. To go from Thirst to Decision to Leave is notable in the way the films overlap and are at odds with one another. There are no monsters or vampires in this film. There are no sex scenes at least not in the same respect as Thirst. However, this film has twists, turns, longing for someone you can't or shouldn't be w...

Well as we come to the end of our month of Valentine's horror we watched Thirst. That's right a South Korean vampire, romance film from the director of Oldboy. Did we like it? Was Cyndi grossed out? Did it scare her to death? Join us this week to find out. 

Hello one and all. Well we did it we finally got around to releasing our Valentine's Day episode. How did we ring in the most lovey dovey of holidays you ask? Well we watched Heart Eyes a Valentine's Day slasher that joins the illustrious list of films which includes My Bloody Valentine, it's remake, Valentine, X-ray, and Lover's Lane.    We watched it but did we like it and did it scare Cyndi to...

What a case of art mirroring real life. Do a month a series of movies about the cold and snow and get hit with two giant snow and ice storms. Apologies for the delay but here is our episode on Let the Right One In.    It has cold, snow, Sweden, romance, vampires, children, and some of the best/worst haircuts we've gotten to experience in a film for this podcast. Well after the incredible mullet in...

We watched The Grey Two. That's right two movies in a row set in the cold snowiness of Alaska. Except this time we are trading in vampires and the town of Barrow for wolves and the harsh unforgiving Alaskan wilderness. Poorly marketed as a movie where Liam Neeson punches wolves. However, what we ended up with was this brutal, filmic poem of sadness, masculinity, and survival.    Did we like it? Di...

Hello and welcome to our first episode of 2026. We are kicking the new year off with three snow bound - extremely cold horror films. This week we start in Alaska with 30 Days of Night. A vampire movie set during a month long period of darkness that's also super gory? Yes please.    We watched it but did we like it? Did it scare Cyndi to death? Join us to find out. 

Welcome to our annual Christmas episode and do we have a doozy for you all. We watched Deadly Games also known as Dial Code Santa Clause. A French Christmas film that puts an extremely capable child against a home invader. This incredible Christmas horror film set the stage for Home Alone which was released the following year. However, unlike Home Alone the child in this is in very real danger fro...

How do you top off your month of movies that are all leading to Thanksgiving? With a holiday set slasher directed by Eli Roth. That's right we watched Thanksgiving, but did we like it? Did Josh love the kills? Did it scare Cyndi to death? Join us to find out. 

Well we did it. We finally got Cyndi to watch Bong Joon Ho's masterpiece Parasite. Join us for for an exploration of family dynamics, class, and capitalism with two families, one wealthy and one not in modern South Korea. Did we like it? Were we blown away by the films acting, directing, cinematography, and editing? Did this movie make Cyndi cheer out loud? Join us this week as we venture into Bon...

Our journey through the month of November and words that are synonymous with Thanksgiving continues as we sit down and watch a movie about food - 1991's Delicatessen. Join us for a post-apocalyptic French dark comedy/romance/horror movie about the end of the world, falling in love, class, housing, starvation, cannibalism, and love and human kindness overcoming it all.    However, did we like it? J...

Hello and welcome to the month of November. We have something special planned for you all this week revolving around Thanksgiving. We selected a number of key words associated with Thanksgiving, like friendship, travel, family, food, and tradition. We are using those keywords to select our movies for the month.    This week is travel and friendship so we watched David Bruckner's The Ritual. Join u...

Hello and a very happy Halloween week to all our listeners out there. We wanted to end this month of harvest horror on a high note doing a film set at Halloween. That's right we watched Dark Harvest. Join us as we venture into 1960's Halloween vibes, cornfields, dead teenagers, and of course Sawtooth Jack. Did we like it? Did it scare Cyndi to death? Join us to find out. 

This week, we wander into the haunted cornfields of the American South — and straight into the eerie world of early ’80s made-for-TV horror — with Dark Night of the Scarecrow (1981). To our knowledge, it’s one of the very first films to make a scarecrow the central monster of a horror story. Did we love it? Did Josh grow up watching it? And did it scare Cyndi half to death? Tune in this week to fi...

Harvest Horror Month continues as we make our this week to the corn fields of Nebraska with Children of the Corn.

Join us as Cyndi experiences He Who Walks Behind the Rows for the first time with crazy tv static effects. Did we like it? Was Cyndi creeped out by Malachi? Most important...
