Splatter Chatter

Roll up your sleeping bags, grab your canoe paddles, and join as we head up to Camp Stonewater to toss another log on the fire and recount the twisted tale of The Burning, the once-maligned now beloved 80s slasher classic of urban legends and pranks gone wrong.

We’re heading back to Long Island to explore the most well-known adaptation of the supposed hauntings on Ocean Avenue, Stuart Rosenberg’s The Amityville Horror, starring James Brolin, Margot Kidder, and Rod Steiger.

Can you believe we've never actually covered an Amityville property? In part 1, we go into the actual horror: Ronnie DeFeo Jr's sextuple homocide of his family and the subsequent legal story. We also dive into some less actual horror: the absolutely made up story of the Lutz's experiences in the house a couple years later

Grab your roach spray and your sidewalk chalk and join us as we tune into MTV to discuss A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master with our returning special guest Ms. Megan. Has daydreaming been the key to stopping Freddy all along? Let’s see what Dramarama has to say about that.

We welcome back special guest Ms. Megan to join us at Westin Hills Asylum for our discussion on perhaps the most beloved entry in the NIGHTMARE franchise, DREAM WARRIORS, directed by Chuck Russell and starring Heather Langenkamp, Patricia Arquette, Craig Wasson, and that rad Dokken song.

Lights, camera, Ghostface! Hit up the craft services table and then join us as we discuss the troubled production of both the fictional Stab 3 and Wes Craven’s very real SCREAM 3. As always, this episode is 100% cotton!

Grab some gingerbread cookies, zip up your parkas, and don’t open that Advent calendar. It’s time to dig deep into RARE EXPORTS, an icy Finnish tale where the mythic meets the modern, Santa slays, and being on the Naughty List means far worse than coal in your stocking.

Grab your carpenter’s hatchet and don your fringe jackets because it’s time to chat Ouija, secret figure eights, and straight men having bonkers sexual chemistry with Kevin Tenney’s WITCHBOARD, starring Todd Allen, Tawny Kitaen, and Stephen Nichols. Ready for some wildly 80s hair and emotionally unavailable dudes? We know we are.

Count your freaks and consider a longer commute. It’s time to check into the Abaddon Hotel and discuss Stephen Cognetti's 2015 found footage flick HELL HOUSE LLC, including our recent visit to the set for a behind the scenes tour and visit to the Waldorf Estate of Fear haunt in Towamensing, Pennsylvania.

It’s our birthday and you know what that means. It’s our birthday and you know what that means. It’s our birthday and you know what that means. It’s our birthday and you know what that means. It’s our birthday and you know what that means. It’s our birthday and you know what that means.

We're in the midst of an Alien renaissance so we're joined again by friend of the pod and Splatter Chatter producer Colleen to dive in 2014's terrifying and groundbreaking video game Alien: Isolation.

It's a bird, it's a plane, it's a teenage boy with emotional problems! In our 135st episode we need to talk about Clark Kent in this inventive if not perfectly executed horror inversion of the superhero origin story. Thought 2025 was James Gunn's first dive into Superman? Think again

Elm Street is getting hot, heavy, and homoerotic as hell in FREDDY’S REVENGE, starring Mark Patton, Kim Myers, and Robert Englund. We’ve brought back special guest Ms. Megan to discuss this controversial sequel in honor of both Friday the 13th (we’ll explain) and LGBTQIA+ Pride Month.

Disco, divas, and death abound in Paul Lynch’s PROM NIGHT, starring Jamie Lee Curtis and Leslie Nielsen. A typical slasher-by-numbers or one of the most influential films in the subgenre? Join us on the dancefloor and cast your vote in one of horror’s longest ongoing debates. It’ll be a night to dismember!

Keep your seatbelts fastened, your trays in an upright position, and your cargo pants in the overhead bin, because it’s time to take off with James Wong’s supernatural slasher FINAL DESTINATION, starring Devon Sawa and Ali Larter.

Grab your sacred daggers and prepare to fight off some hell hounds because we are rising from the eternal sea to get biblical on Richard Donner’s THE OMEN, starring Gregory Peck and Lee Remick. It’s all for you, Chatterers!

As promised, the companion episode to our most recent Boos and Booze on 1993's Leprechaun, we dive into the interesting history of Leprechaun folklore including the surprising, potential Roman origin for this critters believed to be quintessentially Irish.

Our 15th Boos and Booze celebrates the time-honored American tradition of being a little too obsessed with your 3% Irish heritage by partaking in libations while watching 1993's comedy-horror cult classic Leprechaun

As is tradition, we dive into our personal top 10 lists for all 2024 had to offer in horror and then turn our gaze ahead to some of the exciting things headed our way in 2025.

Oh you naughty Chatterers, you better not pout, you better not cry, you BETTER WATCH OUT as we unwrap this twisty home invasion tale that has to be seen to be believed. Join us as we talk tinsel, trauma, and toxic masculinity in this nasty yet clever holiday horror.

Tis the season for red and green sweaters, dreams, and finger knives. Join us down in the boiler room alongside special guest Ms. Megan as we head to Springwood, Ohio to discuss Wes Craven’s iconic, game-changing slasher starring Heather Langenkamp, Johnny Depp, and Robert Englund. Come for the warm milk, stay for the midriffs, and whatever you do, don’t fall asleep.

It’s about to get hairy as we head to Tarker’s Mills to tear through SILVER BULLET, the 1985 adaptation of Stephen King’s novelette Cycle of the Werewolf starring Gary Busey, Corey Haim, Megan Follows, and Everett McGill. Join us as we chat firecrackers, family, and full moons in this howlin’ good time.

Always check your candy. It’s the spookiest time of the year and we’re headed to Warren Valley, Ohio to howl about Michael Dougherty’s cult classic anthology TRICK ‘R TREAT. Hop on the school bus and join us as we unmask this wicked little surprise party. Just remember to keep those pumpkins lit until the very end.

The time has come! After trekking through the streets of Manhattan, going to Hell and back, and even jetting into space, we’re jumping on our dirt bikes to return to Camp Crystal Lake one last time to hack through the 2009 Friday the 13th remake, starring Jared Padalecki, Danielle Panabaker, and Amanda Righetti.

For the end of summer we're gathering around the campfire once more for some spooky tales.
