Spooky Tuesday - A Horror Movie Podcast

Spooky Tuesday been a little too spooky for you these past few Tuesdays? Take a break and relax with the charmingly quirky murder mystery that is The Ghost and Mr. Chicken (1966). Starring Don Knotts and certified hottie Joan Staley, this sweet little flick has scares appropriate for all ages but plenty of moments that will still make you jump. Plus, it’s Sydney’s childhood favorite, so you know i...

Is there any horror film more unfairly underrated than House of Wax (2005)? Starring Paris Hilton and more intensely mid-2000's than you can even imagine, this movie was panned by both critics and audiences, but Spooky Tuesday is here this week to tell you that it's a flawless film, actually. Our love for this flick knows no bounds — even if it does have us weirdly rooting for incest. 

Who knew that we had this much to say about The VVitch (2015)? When it comes to the "New England folktale," we just couldn't shut up — and we guess that figures since this is Monica's favorite Spooky Tuesday yet. On our new episode, we're talking about sexy wood chopping, Game of Thrones, and an IRL demonic goat who stole the show on set. 

Ever wanted to watch someone get impaled with a church post? Then Sleepy Hallow (1999) is the movie for you. A new Spooky Tuesday takes on the Time Burton classic full of iconic characters, dramatic swoons, and the best three- in-one death scene we've ever seen. The Headless Horseman isn't messing around, and he's not the only killer we're stanning in the fantastical flick. 

What happens when the Home Alone kid grows up and gets interested in girls — or at least one girl in particular? This Spooky Tuesday, we're tackling Better Watch Out (2016), the film that takes Kevin McCallister's childish hijinks and turns them into preteen predatory behaviors. Without getting too spoilery right off the bat, all we can say in that this is a movie that slaps you in the face about...

What more could you want for Christmas than a stunningly spooky tale of stranger danger at a sorority house? This week, we're taking on the original Black Christmas (1974), a decadent film full of badass girls, fabulous fur coats, and what may or may not be the first canonically bisexual character in Spooky Tuesday history (well, other than the Babadook) 

Did anyone else mistakenly remember Gremlins (1984) as a sweet movie about little monsters at Christmas time? Yeah, that is...not that. One our latest episode of Spooky Tuesday, we're talking about the king, the legend, the adorable little creature who inspired Furbies, Baby Yoda, and Vin Diesel himself: Gizmo. Oh, and we're talking about his creepy reptile cousins, too. Come for the holiday spiri...

Cults — yikes, are we right? On our latest episode of Spooky Tuesday, we're talking about The Lodge (2019), which unfortunately isn't actually a lesbian ghost story and instead tackles the tale of a woman slowly losing touch with reality after she's forced to confront her rocky religious past. But, hey, at least it has Alicia Silverstone! 

No one's doing it quite like The Blair Witch Project (1999). Not only did the found footage-style film reenergize a genre, it also seriously freaked fans out without ever showing something spooky on screen. The movie was totally one-of-a-kind — and we'll get around to talking about it on this week's "Spooky Tuesday" just as soon as we can stop geeking out over how it was made. 

This Thanksgiving, it's all about the turkey — and the turkey is all about revenge. In ThanksKilling (2009), a vengeful turkey returns from the grave to enact justice on behalf of Native Americans everywhere, and he does it all while offending all kinds of other marginalized groups. On this episode of Spooky Tuesday, we're celebrating the holiday, debating a murderous turkey's morality, and absolu...

Is it time for Ethan Hawke's redemption arc? In our eighth "Spooky Tuesday" episode, we're giving him a second chance as we take on 'Sinister' (2012), a seriously scary film that's just as spooky as it sounds. But you know what doesn't sound so spooky? A child-eating creature named Gabagool. With our knack for pronunciation, this review of a demonic film takes a predictable detour into silliness....

Was it a mistake to watch 'The Purge' the night after the election? Yes. Are we feeling a lot better now that the results are in? Definitely. But if you'd like a little window into our anxiety spiral and the politics of 'The Purge', then this is the episode for you as we tweak the storyline, break down all the many dumb bitches, and discover a new pronunciation of Ethan Hawke's name. 

Let the Babadiscourse begin! On our latest episode of Spooky Tuesday, we're taking on the moving tale of a queer icon struggling to find acceptance with his family. Just kidding. Or maybe not! Not only are we diving into The Babadook and the seriously scary (and heartbreaking) story it tells, we're also exploring just how Mister Babadook himself became a beloved pop culture figure. 

Are we smart enough to talk about Donnie Darko (2001)? We don't know, but we're sure going to give it a shot. During this episode, we'll break down time travel and the theory of the manipulated living (sort of), how Grandma Death is actually an iconic nickname, and whether or not Frank was hotter before he got shot in the face.

Apologies to Sydney : Chelsea and Monica talked a lot of shit, but as it turns out they just might have some love for Scream 4 (2011). We're closing out the Scream franchise as we talk about how the last installment stacks up against the original trilogy, how much we love Queen Kirby, and what we're hoping to see in Scream 5. 

She's finally here, and she's that bitch . Scream 3 (2000) is an absolutely wild ride — but, despite that, it also tackles some dark subjects. While the third installment in the franchise might feel more like a Scooby Doo movie than a slasher, it also raises a hearty middle finger to one of its own producers, Harvey Weinstein.  Send us a text

How does the sequel stack up? Scream was that bitch, but Scream 2 (1997) definitely had its moments. Tune in to see what we love, what we hated, and how we think Sidney Prescott deserves to get a girlfriend. 

How could we dedicate a podcast to our love of the genre and start anywhere but the original love letter to horror? In our inaugural Spooky Tuesday episode, we're tackling Scream (1996). From our fictional blood thirsty boyfriends to our own thirst for fake blood, we're talking about it all.
