Nightmare on 5th Street: A horror movie podcast

We had so much fun recording this episode. Mandao Returns is a quirky sci-fi horror comedy that follows up Mandao of the Dead. Fun movie that hit all the marks for us this week--murderous cult, astral projecting, with a Christmas backdrop. For this week's Real World Connection we have a special treat! Scott Dunn, screenwriter/director/actor of the Mandao Series and Schlep, joined us to talk about...

This week we watched and discuss the Mexican movie "Tigers are Not Afraid" from Mexican screenwriter director Issa Lopez. Whoo, this one is a great movie. Tons of emotion when we discuss a movie about drug cartel violence and orphaned children, but beautiful imagery and story we just had to share. For our Real World Connection we stay in Mexico City and discuss the heroics of the rescuers known as...

For TW/CW go to end of show notes for info. This week we watched and discussed “Blood Quantum”, a zombie flick stuffed full of historical and social commentary. This indigenous take on a familiar genre not only entertained us, but got us feeling way too many feels, as Dalia says. Head shots and splashy gore bring it all together to give us a great undead tale. We loved it! For our Real World Conne...

We’re back with Season 2 and our special collab episode with Sade of Afro Horror. For our season 2 opener we watched and discussed “The People Under the Stairs” which is one of our all time favorites. Talk about nostaligia! This was a great way to kick off our season discussions of BIPOC voices in horror. This episode is a little different as it’s a collab which means double the fun! Or is it trip...

This episode was originally released 28 January as a Bonus Episode only available on Spotify. Why? It had a fun little copyrighted song. Now we have removed the song for your listening pleasure. Oh, and ignore the TikTok talk. We don't do TikTok anymore, that project has been abandoned. Enjoy! 1958 was a good year, especially for Steve McQueen. Alma and Dalia needed a palate cleanser after La Llor...

Last episode of the season and we decided to go back in time, to another century. They call it "the 20th century". And what did we bring back? Yeah, I know it says in the title but you could have played along. Tara Reid, Rebecca Gayheart, Alicia Witt, and Jordan Catalano. Yes, Dalia calls him that throughout the entirety of the episode. So yeah, Urban Legend. What more can we say? S...

TW/CW This film either depicts or discusses child murder, infanticide, and suicide. This week we headed over to India to watch the horror movie “The House Next Door”, aka “Aval”. A nod to “The Exorcist” and some good ol’ fashioned ghost stories kept us guessing as to how this movie was going to end. The cinemotography was gorgeous and the fact that this was recorded in 3 languages simultaneously a...

My bloody valentine, my sweet bloody valentine… Yes, this week we followed up “House of Wax” with a bloody fun Jensen Ackles movie. Gotta represent those Winchester boys! We also figured out that this would be a fun drinking game. Everytime there’s a 3D shot, take a shot! We don’t drink so we just resorted to shouting “3D” at each other. During our real-world connection, Dalia takes us to Chile an...

Trigger warning / Content Warning: The movie begins with a scene of child abuse. Even though we don’t go into detail, it is a tough subject and we suggest skipping over the beginning of the movie if the content is too disturbing. House of Wax…what can we say about this movie? A lot, apparently. But when you have both Jared Padalecki and Paris Hilton in a fun horror flick, of course we’re going to...

Why does a podcast episode begin with an apology? Because we promised our listeners that all three sisters would be discussing Aliens this week. However, we had an issue with audio and we needed to re-record without our very special guest, Daisy. We are planning on inviting her back in the future, so don't worry. For this episode, nostalgia is the theme. Here's a movie we have seen many times and...

Nostalgia time! Did you read “Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark” when you were younger? We sure did. And now we’re watching the movie and re-telling it in a very NSFW manner. Definitely no young ones around while we share this tale. We have some fun stories to share, Forrest Gump quotes, and then Dalia shares the plight of the brown, black, and poor who were shipped off to die in Vietnam. Bet you...

TW/CW: There is a child death, off camera sexual assault, and animal death. Oh my goodness, people. Our microphones, especially Dalia's, were super sensitive so you're going to hear a little bit of our lives in the background. But we're okay with that because we loved discussing this movie. A little French nursery rhyme enjoyed by a creepy Swedish trio of killers is just the perfect combo of hair...

TW/CW: This episode discusses child death and suicide. If you feel that you cannot listen to this content, we completely understand. We want you to take care of you. For those who do wish to continue with this episode... This one was another doozie. We could not stop talking about this Spanish flick. Thank you, Cynthia, for this special request. We had so much fun discussing “The Orphanage” and it...

This is a great one this week. Honestly, though, we’re going to say that about every episode. But this one is so good we couldn’t stop talking about it. We watched and discussed Gonjiam-A Haunted Asylum, a South Korean found footage flick. Not only could we not stop talking about it, but we also ruin one of your favorite San Antonio ghost stories. Dalia ruins your fun at the Haunted Railroad Track...

This week we watch and discuss the Spanish movie "REC". Alma finds out during editing a special little easter egg for all you San Antonio Spurs fans. We also come to the agreement that you must watch this movie in Spanish, no dubbed version please. For our real-world connection we give a heartfelt thank you and shout out to the Ardmore, Oklahoma Fire Department.  Support our podcast: https://...

It’s time to discuss our namesake! This week we watch and discuss A Nightmare on Elm Street. Dalia shares a most embarassing memory of falling asleep in class and Alma leaves the house in her nightgown. We also discuss sleep paralysis and our own horrible experiences with those awful dreams. And Dalia apologizes for the audio on her end. We didn’t want to not share this gem. Don’t worry, she’s got...

Oh we went there with this week's episode. Attack the Block...horror? You bet your polka dot socks! Yeah, I don't know what that means. This week we watch and discuss this fun British comedy/sci-fi/horror flick which naturally leads to a discussion on bees. We got Star Wars and Dr. Who in the house and fireworks! Do we know how to put together a fantastic podcast episode or what? Yes, the answer i...

We are back at it this week in the Louisiana Bayou with both Hatchet 2 and 3. This was an especially fun run with Danielle Harris taking on the role of Mary Beth. Fun cameos and surprising return from the dead actors kept us very entertained. Our favorite misting machine makes a reappearance and did Victor Crowley stop off the wig store between sequels to buy a new weave? Tune in to this two-in-on...

Alma and Dalia step back to the groovy 1970s to enjoy this week’s flick, The Wicker Man. Not the Nic Cage version, sorry to disappoint.

Tune in to this episode to figure out who Daniel is and why he’s a central figure in our discussion.  Sources for this week: “Religious Tolerance and Persecution in the R...

TW/CW: This episode discusses the real world atrocities inflicted upon Maya and Guatemala women during the Guatemalan Maya Genocide. The movie is based upon this historical real life event. During discussion of this movie, we do speak about assault and child death. If you feel you cannot listen to this content and this episode, we completely understand.
