Scare Value Podcast

Our Twin Peaks: The Return mini-series comes to a conclusion with this bonus discussion of what in the Hell we think was happening on this incredible limited event series.  Who is the dreamer?  What's the deal with Billy?  How did it all end?  Who was Bill Pullman?  All of these questions and more will be answered as incorrectly as you'd imagine.  Plus...a sneak peak of what's coming up this summe...

Way back when we started Scare Value Podcast we recorded a brief non-spoiler out of theater reaction to Scream VI.  Three years and a quarter years later...we decided to do that again for Evil Dead Burn.  This was recorded in a windy parking lot with a less than professional recording device so the audio can get a bit bumpy...but it's also a brisk 23 minutes so what do you have to lose?  There wil...

We've reached the end of Twin Peaks: The Return...but we're going out in style.  Join us for a watch-along of the epic and enjoyably confounding conclusion of the still way ahead of its time limited series.  Queue up Parts 17 and 18 and watch with us as we throw around complex, conflicting and haphazard theories about what in the world we are watching.  Then come back in a few days when we drop a...

The Scare Value Boys reach the penultimate week of their return to Twin Peaks.  Emotions run high as we lose the Log Lady, Diane's true nature is revealed, Dale Cooper finally returns...and Audrey Horne...well...  Join us for our discussion on Parts 15 and 16 of David Lynch's final masterwork.  It all ends next week with a watch-along for Parts 17 and 18...and a bonus episode where we try to make...

The Scare Value Boys' coverage of Twin Peaks: The Return is hurdling towards its conclusion at light speed.  This week they discuss every weird moment in Parts 13 and 14 of the limited series.  Who is Billy?  Why is Gordon Cole dreaming of a real person?  Is arm wrestling the best way to run an election?  All this and more confusion in this week's Scare Value Podcast. Check out our stuff on https:...

The Scare Value Boys continue their journey back to Twin Peaks with Parts 11 and 12 of Twin Peaks: The Return.  They get into their biggest argument about the meaning of some music playing in a scene...yes, even bigger than their argument about what Andy and Lucy were really arguing about last episode.  That's a lot of arguing.  They agree this show rocks though. Check out our stuff on https://sca...

The Scare Value Boys are still trying to recover from Part 8 of Twin Peaks: The Return while the show starts tying story strands together in some interesting and unexpected ways.  They discuss Part 9 and 10 of David Lynch's final major work as we pass the halfway point of our Twin Peaks: The Return run. Check out our stuff on https://scarevalue.com

The Scare Value Boys reconvene to experience the stunning Part 8 of Twin Peaks: The Return in watch-along format.  They do one for Part 7 too...but anyone who has seen the show before knows that Part 8 is the big draw here.  A mind-blowing hour of television...and one of the finest hours of David Lynch's career.  What does it all mean?  Hell if we know.  But boy is it something. Instructions to wa...

Our journey back to Twin Peaks continues with a discussion of episodes 5 and 6 of David Lynch's final masterwork.  Pete thinks he's solved the mystery only he has been searching for...but he's upset about a casual child murder that happens on the show.  The Return kicks into second gear with an outstanding episode 6...as it builds anticipation for the jaw dropping episode 8 that the boys will be c...

The Scare Value Boys continue their slow trek back to Twin Peaks alongside Dougie Jones, Mr. C, Janey-E and a whole host of other misfits.  What will Pete think of Wally Brando?  Will he continue to look for Bill Pullman on the Lost Highway?  Did he really not know that David Lynch played a character in Twin Peaks?  Find out all this and whether Bryan can keep his sanity while talking Twin Peaks:...

Pete and Bryan begin their journey back to Twin Peaks with a watch-along of the first two episodes of David Lynch's final major work, Twin Peaks: The Return.  How will Bryan hold up watching this with his clearly brain damaged friend?  Not well.  Not well at all.  Only eight weeks to go...he tells himself through frustrated tears. Check out our stuff on https://scarevalue.com

It's that time of year again on the Scare Value Podcast!  Kitty joins the boys to look ahead to all the summer horror releases they can find.  A new Evil Dead...a new Resident Evil...a new Summer Movie Preview Spooktacular!   Check out our stuff on https://scarevalue.com

Foreign Correspondent Ken joins the show from Taiwan for our yearly Top Ten episode.  This year he puts a spin on it by introducing a few miscellaneous questions that still add up to ten in the end.  What's our most anticipated movie of 2026?  Who is the biggest horror icon of all time?  What horror movies have you yet to see and why?  All this and a couple more on this week's Scare Value Podcast....

It's a family affair on this week's Scare Value Podcast.  Pete's wife Kitty and their daughter Fred join the show to watch 1985's Return to Oz...an alleged family film that gave nightmares to Xennials everywhere.  Will the new generation think that's ridiculous?  Or are two 47-year-old men right to still be frightened of a children's movie?  Find out by watching (and listening) along with us!  Ins...

Friend of the podcast Mark returns to try and help Pete understand what he watched in 1989's Society.  It's a wild movie that has sadly gotten less shocking due to real world events.  Still, it's pretty great.  Don't be a butthead...get to listening wherever you get your podcasts. Check out our stuff on https://scarevalue.com

The Scare Value Boys tackle another 2026 release in the killer chimpanzee movie Primate.  They discuss why not having things like plot and character development can sometimes improve a movie...at least when that movie is about a chimpanzee with rabies trying to kill everyone around him.  Seriously...what B-plot is going to improve that viewing experience? Check out our stuff on https://scarevalue....

Pete plays a reverse Uno card to pull an April Fool's prank on Bryan.  What was advertised as a watch-along of 1986's April Fool's Day became an attempt to prank Pete into watching Wicked: For Good.  Wise to Bryan's chicanery...Pete sets up a watch-along of his favorite horror movie...Poltergeist.  A watch-along three years in the making. To watch with us cue up Poltergeist to the moment the MGM l...

After nearly a decade of prodding...Bryan finally got Pete to watch Adam Wingard's 2014 movie The Guest.  Will it be enough to finally answer Pete's never ceasing question: "The Guest?" or will they remain locked in this tragic pattern forever?  Maybe both? Check out our stuff on https://scarevalue.com

Big time spoiler warnings for this episode as the Scare Value Boys try to figure out what went wrong with Scream 7.  Wait to listen to this one until after you've seen the movie...and The Bride! too for some reason.  They get heavy into spoilers on both movies.  From questionable fan service to focusing on the wrong plotline...Scream 7 came up short in too many areas to measure up to (most of) the...

It's Wednesday the 11th...and you know what that means.  It's time for another visit with our good friend Jason Voorhees.  This time around the Scare Value Boys are watching Jason Goes to Hell...the one where New Line Cinema screws everything up immediately. Even though it's a low tier entry in the series...there's a surprising amount of fun to be had watching along with us. Instructions to watch...

It's the third anniversary of the podcast and the boys are breaking format once again to watch one of their favorite non-horror films.  This year they take on one of the greatest movies ever made...Back to the Future.  Watch along with them as they slowly lose their minds over the Marty/Lorraine situation. Things go off the rails in a way befitting a Scare Value anniversary. Instructions to watch...

With a new installment of Scream heading to theaters this weekend, the Scare Value Boys are finally ready to tackle the influential original film.  Mark is back to join the fun as Bryan thinks too deeply about every aspect of his favorite movie while Pete struggles to remember the details of a movie that he watched the night before.  You know...the usual. Check out our stuff on https://scarevalue....

It's time, once again, for the Scare Value Podcast to honor the best foreign films of the last lunar year in the way that only it can.  Bryan cedes the reigns of the show to our foreign correspondent and tries to cobble together an episode that makes sense in the edit.  A tradition unlike any other.  Who will take home this year's Woody Award?  There's only one way to find out. Check out our stuff...

It's Wednesday the 11th.  You know what that means!  The Scare Value Boys watch another Friday the 13th movie.  This time Jason takes a cruise to Vancouver!  Apparently that title didn't test well with audiences, so they called it Jason Takes Manhattan instead.  Even though that is a boldface lie.  Join us in a watch-along of Friday the 13th Part VII: Jason Takes Manhattan.   Instructions to watch...

The Scare Value Boys revisit a movie they loved thirty years ago...and find they still love it.  We're talking all about Billy Zane's wildly entertaining performance, our love of the brand, and the film's surprisingly important place in horror movie history.  Plus, hopefully, the final disappointing Bills update we ever have to do. https://scarevalue.com
