What's up, revellers and weirdos! 1982 had an incredible line-up of movie releases, including this week's subject, POLTERGEIST. Steven Spielberg produced and the late, great Tobe Hooper directed this benchmark ghost story. Probably not wise to watch when house hunting. Just sayin'.

Lets face it, at some point, when we were kids watching Children's TV, there was a moment we found creepy, disturbing, or downright terrifying. Whether it was intentional or not on the part of the creator's, we have all experienced that moment. It's universal. It's a rite of passage. Question is, what moment in Children's TV scarred you for life? And more importantly, was it one of these moments…?

What's up revellers and weirdos! In this week's episode we cover Bernard Rose's classy horror gem, CANDYMAN.

What defines an English Christmas? The giving of tacky deodorant gift sets? Your elders forcing you to sit through the Queen's speech? Or, sitting round a crackling fire, scaring each other witless with tales of vengeful spirits...? This week, we discuss 2017's GHOST STORIES, based on the notorious stage show. And James attempts to send a chill up Sam's spine, with a listener's real life account o...

KI KI KI MA MA MA... This week, to coincide with... you guessed it, we're watching the 2009 remake of FRIDAY THE 13TH, where Sam soon suspects James just wanted to rant about this movie. He really doesn't hold back! We also play the horror movie cliche drinking game (you will need your stomach pumped if you attempt to play along to this dumb movie), and Sam inducts the first guy into her Long Hair...

We can't say we're letting Sam off easy this week, as we're trading in masked maniacs for something far more... cosmic in scope. COLOR OUT OF SPACE is our first foray into Lovecraftian horror, so aside from discussing this psychedelic splendor of a movie, we also dive into the life of H.P. Lovecraft and his enduring legacy. Prepare to have your minds blown! You can find us on Twitter and Instagram...

We may love all things Halloween here at Scaring Sam but for an old acquaintance, it's a night she'd rather forget. 40 years on since we last saw Laurie, and the harrowing events of that night still haunt her in HALLOWEEN (2018). Amongst other things, we discuss the trauma of being a final girl, what Michael Myers' might sound like, and the potentially life threatening risk of socks. You can find...

Continuing our month long HALLOWEEN celebration, this week we're giving Sam a break from ghosts for something tamer: a masked, homicidal maniac!! That's right, we're heading to Haddonfield, Illinois, for the first part of our Halloween retrospective. Amongst other things, we discuss Michael Myers' supernatural driving skills, and the phallic nature of his blade (no, you grow up!). You can find us...

What better way to celebrate the start of our HALLOWEEN season than to go back to where it all began: On Saturday 31st October 1992 at 9.25pm, James's little lizard brain was warped forever! Now, he exposes Sam to Ghostwatch, a one-off special that terrified the British nation so much it was never seen or spoken of again for a decade!! (And you thought the English cuisine was the scariest thing th...

Sam is busy running a bath this week, so we're delving into the sordid history of video nasties. A time of video rentals, moral panic, and good ol' British repression! Ahh... 80s nostalgia...

Soooo... the original idea for this week's episode didn't go to plan. But, in hindsight, Sam really wished it had, as we opted to watch Host -- THE MOST TERRIFYING THING TO COME OUT OF 2020... and that's saying something!!

Sam loves all living creatures, but the eight legged variety really test that compassion.
