Is it possible to make a good Children of the Corn film? We ask ourselves this very important question as we review 2023’s Shudder Exclusive Children of the Corn 2020 remake. I mean, there are literally 11 movies in the franchise now.  One of them has to be good, right? Right?  Well, after being shot during the early days COVID-19 Pandemic and stuck in distribution hell for the last three years Ku...

The smog has returned because Canada is still on fire apparently. But that’s okay because we’re back on track with the final season of The Originals. And by “we” I really mean it! After the rut that was season three, these last two seasons have really found their stride again.  We find the Mikelsons where we left them: sad and separated. Elijah is playing the piano at a bar in France, Rebbekah is...

We’re back after our mini-break and some major life changes. Sam is now married and Stormy is still chugging along on her Ph. D. (like, she was literally doing school work in the bridal suite??). This week, we’re here to review the newish Catholic horror film Consecration.  Consecration is a 2023 Shudder Exclusive horror movie that follows an English Jenna Malone to a Convent in North Ireland. She...

It's Sam's birthday on this quick little minishow, and we could not watch The Originals. Yeah, Netflix's new password-sharing policy is going to be a real thorn in the side of this podcast.  But it's fine.  It's fine.  Because there are other streaming platforms that don't have sticks up their ass. We're also going to take a quick, two-week break while Sam gets married and Stomry works toward her...

Who would have thought we’d be raving about a 2014 teen scream flick? Well, that’s what you can expect in our review of Unfriended, an early Blumhouse movie, and the first movie to be filmed entirely on a Macbook screen.  And, WOW was this movie weirdly nostalgic?   Guest Find Us Online - Website: www.realhorrorshowpodcast.com - Twitter: www.twitter.com/Horrorshowpod - Support: www.realhorrorshow....

Season 4 of The Originals is a wrap! The conclusion of the penultimate season finds Hope possessed by The Hollow, in an attempt to save herself. The Mikelson siblings then make the heartbreaking decision to separate, as it is the only way to stop the ancient evil. Smash cut to seven years later, and Klaus is already breaking all the rules by giving his brother, Elijah, a $100 tip…in American curre...

We’re back! We hope everyone had an awesome Easter/Passover/Ramadan or whatever non-Abrahamic spring holiday you choose to celebrate. This week, we’re very excited to talk about a fantastic little horror flick called Smile.  Smile is a 2022 horror movie directed by Parker Finn and stars Sosie Bacon.

This week we hit the midpoint of the fourth season of The Originals, and Alaric has re-entered the picture, setting the stage for yet another spinoff. Even though getting through this series has been a chore, Stormy sets the ambitious goal of finishing it by the end of April.  Will Sam be able to convince her to get to Castlenvania despite her disdain for animated shows? Yes. Or the podcast ends h...

We said we’d get to it, and here it is: Terrifier 2. This little independent horror flick took TikTok by storm a few months ago, and we’re finally seeing what all the hype is about.  Taking place literally hours after the end of the first Terrifier, we follow Sienna, a high schooler grieving the loss of her father, as she prepares for a wild Halloween night. However, Art the Clown and his new demo...

The Originals is starting to find its mojo again in this first half of Season 4. Hayley, after five years of being a single mother, finally has all the pieces in place to wake up the Mikelsons. Including kidnapping and holding an innocent werewolf hostage. But that fine. That’s the least terrible thing anyone has done in this show.  Meanwhile, Marcel continues to torture Klaus, which I’m sure won’...

The Invitation is a 2022 horror romance film that did not get the attention it deserves. Starring Nathalie Emmanuel and Thomas Doherty, the film follows a young woman desperately seeking a family connection after the death of her mother.  Thanks to online DNA testing, she’s able to meet one of her distant cousins who invites her to a family wedding in England, all expenses paid. She accepts, think...

We have officially reached the five-year time jump of The Vampire Diaries universe. That’s right season, three of The Originals wraps up with the Mikelson siblings falling into magical sleep while Klaus agrees to a life of torture to atone for his sins.    There’s also this whole thing with Marcel becoming Super Mega Original, but we’ll deal with the fallout of that in season four…probably. Someti...

Did you know the US remake of Goodnight Mommy came out earlier this year? Well, if you didn't you're in good company because we heard absolutely nothing about this tired remake.  Starring the queen of US adaptations, Naomi Watts, Goodnight Mommy (2022) follows almost the exact same story as the original Austrian film of the same name. Only...not as good. So, if you're looking for a watered-down ve...

Hey all you cool cats and kittens, we’re back this week to let you know that we’re still not caught up on The Originals. But it’s okay. We’re just watching for funsies anyway.  But, that doesn’t mean we’re not going to fill you in on all the other fun stuff going on in our daily lives. Like, Sam getting to attend Kevin Smith’s SModCastle Film Festival and how Stormy is hard at work on that Ph. D. ...

Terrifier 2 was recently trending on the TikTok, so naturally, we had to jump on the bandwagon by reviewing…its predecessor, the cult classic 2016 horror film about Art the Clown. Terrifier, if you will.  Yes, it’s taken us a minute to get around to it, but were fame hungry Internet sluts who only review what’s popular.  Or whatever we want to watch.  You’re not paying us for this shit.  We also s...

Why is it so sticky in Philadelphia? Is there a hurricane outside?  This week on the minishow we ask all the important questions.

We’re taken back to the year 1719, where a young Comanche woman must prove herself as a warrior when she comes face-to-face with the advanced alien race we’ve all come to know and love.  We also talk...

It’s time for another mini-sho where we talk about whatever the hell we want--but mostly Season 3 of ‘The Originals’.

It’s gonna get spicy.  Guest Find Us Onl...

Hey all you cool cats and kittens, we're traveling to a beautiful remote island to catch some sun and relaxation. And to fight a horrible man-fish living in a hole in the bottom of the ocean.  Which is more or less the plot of this week's movie: 2019's Sweetheart starring Kiersey Clemons, Emory Cohen, Hanna Mangan-Lawrence, and Andrew Crawford.  Sam also does her best to give a mini-Halloween Ends...

We’re worried, darling. This week, we’re picking out our next movie review and having a quick discussion on what went wrong with the smash hit new movie Don’t Worry Darling.

Being life-long horror fans, we know a thing or five about unnecessary sequels, which is why we're pumped to cover "Nobody Sleeps in the Woods Tonight II." Picking up exactly where the first left off, we follow a young police officer who just wants to be a hero and impress the woman he loves. Naturally, things are never so simple, so when our final girl from the last movie turns into a monster, he...
