Spooky Tuesday - A Horror Movie Podcast

We’re back, baby! On the heels of our holiday hiatus, Spooky Tuesday returns with a brand new episode and a very special guest. This week, we’re joined by debut author Ellen O’Clover — a bonafide romance expert — as we break down all of the possible ships (and we do mean all of them) in The Mummy (1999). Hailed by the masses as a so-called “perfect film” and possibly Brendan Fraser’s best work, th...

Chelsea may be our resident Sharky TuesWeek enthusiast, but when it comes to getting in the holiday spirit, Sydney was the one bringing Santa Jaws (2018) to the table. On our latest episode of Spooky Tuesday, we picked a Christmas flick that takes a more, uh, creative approach to celebrating the season. Combining the monster movie genre with a magical object moment, this female-directed film dares...

Warning, James Wan lovers: There may be some distinct hater behavior on our newest episode of Spooky Tuesday. You already know how we feel about The Conjuring Series, but this week we’re diving back in to the popular director’s filmography with Insidious (2010). A flick about the horrors of astral projection and Patrick Wilson neglecting his family, this movie delivered some of the genre’s most ic...

We promise not to spend the entire episode talking about the behind-the-scenes hot goss, but when it comes to our latest installment of Spooky Tuesday, it really is all about the drama. This week, we’re featuring Don’t Worry Darling (2022), and we’re covering everything from Harry Styles spitting on Chris Pine to Olivia Wilde promising the film focused on female pleasure. Don’t worry, though, darl...

Is there any better pick for our latest fall Fifth Tuesday than the first Knives Out (2019)? With Glass Onion in theaters now and headed to Netflix soon, we knew we had to revisit the Rian Johnson murder mystery. After all, with Stab 8 on his resumé, he’s part of the horror family! On our new episode, we’re talking about all things ensemble cast, embracing being cringe, and whether or not Toni Col...

Want to feel possibly the worst you’ve ever felt while also laughing a lot while also while also watching a child crawl all the way into an overlarge oven? Then we’ve got just the movie for you!! On this week’s Thanksgiving episode of Spooky Tuesday, we’re all about quality family time with The Visit (2015), a documentary-style flick from writer-director M. Night Shyamalan that will have you sayin...

Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1992) is a movie absolutely jam-packed with plot from beginning to end — and pretty much every single moment of it is unbelievably horny. We’re not kidding. This film features homoerotic shaving, kisses in the rain, female-presenting nipples, literal porn illustrations, and a ravishment scene straight out of any monster fucker’s wildest fantasy. Basically, it’s catnip for Sp...

So we've all been listening to The Ronettes on repeat lately, right? Ever since Barbarian (2022) hit the streaming services, it seems like it's the movie on everyone's mind — which means it's the perfect time for Spooky Tuesday to join the conversation. On this week's episode, we're talking about meet cutes, the art of a good horror trailer, and whether any Skarsgård can be trusted outside of the...

Chelsea could be remembering wrong, but we’re pretty sure the strength of this week’s movie was marketed solely on its stars’ hotness — and that alone should be enough to tell you that our latest episode of Spooky Tuesday is all about The Covenant (2006). Honestly, Sydney hit the nail on the fucking head when she joked that it is literally just Abercrombie & Witch. Starring Steven Strait, Tayl...

Is it just us, or is there something comfy-cozy about watching Poltergeist (1982)? OK, maybe it’s not even us, it’s just Chelsea — but we can all agree at the very least that the Freeling family is one we wouldn’t mind being a part of. Only maybe we’ll wait until after they move out of their haunted house to join Diane and Steve for an adults only smoke sesh. On a new Spooky Tuesday, we’re coverin...

Ever wished you could watch the He’s Just Not That Into You of horror? The Valentine’s Day or New Year’s Eve of Halloween? On a new Spooky Tuesday, we’re talking about Trick ‘r Treat (2007), a movie about a (candy) grab bag of different interwoven stories that fully delivers when it comes to killer principals, karmic justice, and the cutest lil spirit of Samhain you’ve ever seen. References: Trick...

Are you one of the very lucky moviegoers who got to go into The Sixth Sense (1999) totally blind? M. Night Shyamalan’s first big flick rocked audiences when it hit theaters, and that famous twist in the final few minutes had people talking for years. For us, though, the real reveal was that Toni Collette is in this film — and that she is arguably the best part of it. On a new Spooky Tuesday, we’re...

In our Season 3 premiere, it’s time for Spooky Tuesday to take our own crack at the classic horror question: “Can you really make a Halloween™? movie without Michael Myers?” That’s right, we’re rolling out the red carpet for a whole new spooky season, and we’re starting with Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982). Sharing more DNA with a film like Invasion of the Body Snatchers than a slasher f...

The end of September can only mean one thing: It’s time for Spooky Tuesday to bring Final Destination Summer to a close. But we’re still celebrating in style! On our fifth and final episode of the series, we’re joined by a special guest and his handy dandy notebook as Spencer, Sydney’s new spooky son, helps us break down Final Destination 5 (2011). With this movie featuring some of the most iconic...

Remember how the Jonas Brothers used to wear purity rings? Spooky Tuesday does. On a new episode, we’re covering Teeth (2007), the mid-aughts horror movie that gave Monica the perfect opening to insert her JoBros super fan agenda. But when you’re talking about a movie like this, you have to be cautious what you insert and where, so we’re doing our best to breakdown a film all about nuclear radiati...

Did someone request a horror movie for girls??? When it comes to our latest scary flick pick, it’s literally in the name. On this week’s episode of Spooky Tuesday, Chelsea’s birth month movie is Tragedy Girls (2017), a touching tale of two besties with benefits if by benefits you mean a collaborative true crime project. If you’ve ever wished for a Scream alternate universe where Billy and Stu are...

Legend has it that Urban Legend (1998) didn’t get a fair shake from critics back when it first came out — but we’ll be the judge of that here at Spooky Tuesday. With school back in session, it only felt right that we revisit the college campus cult classic on our newest episode. Packed full of turn-of-the-millennium era stars like Tara Reid, Joshua Jackson, Rebecca Gayheart, and Michael Rosenbaum...

When we realized our 100th episode of Spooky Tuesday was just around the corner, we knew we had to pick something extra special to celebrate — something fun, something for the girls, something with a lil ?razzle dazzle.? And given that our milestone movie *also* happened to fall on a Fifth Tuesday, a sacred institution, we knew that there was only one film for the job: Chicago (2002). With a star-...

Is it just us or did they step the gore up a notch for The Final Destination (2009)? Despite the distinct lack of Tony Todd, the powers that be were clearly trying to make something special out of the franchise’s 3D sequel, and they clearly wanted the series to go out with a bang (literally). Only, the thing about The Final Destination is that it’s not *actually* the final Final Destination, so wh...

Is there *really* anything you need to know about Bodies Bodies Bodies (2022) other than the fact that Lee Pace is 6’5”? Honestly, in our opinion, that should be compelling enough to get anybody to see A24’s latest horror flick in theaters, but opinions after that may differ widely. On a new Spooky Tuesday, we’re talking all about the Gen Z mystery movie, but here are a few more selling points jus...

Who knew that sitting in the very first row could actually enhance the movie going experience? When it comes to Jordan Peele’s latest blockbuster horror, a seat that forces you to tilt your head all the way back is actually pretty on theme — and, as it turns out, our recent line up has been pretty on theme, too. On a new episode of Spooky Tuesday, we’re talking all things Nope (2022), including th...

We’d like to tell you we don’t spend our entire Tremors (1990) episode talking about a single mom who works two jobs (who loves her kids and never stops), but if we did, we’d be lying. On our latest episode of Spooky Tuesday, we may have gotten a little swept up in the hype of a certain country music star turned silver screen siren. That said, we did also find some time to discuss OT3s, creative n...

Final Destination Summer is back, baby, and it’s finally time to talk about the installment that is (in our very humble opinion) the absolute best of the best. On this week’s Spooky Tuesday, we’re heading to the end of the line with Final Destination 3 (2006) — and we’re ready for a wild rollercoaster ride. Not only is this film home to the iconic tanning beds scene (perhaps THEEE scene of the fra...

Need a little warm up — or foreplay, if you will — for everyone’s favorite week dedicated to aquatic-themed entertainment? On a new Spooky Tuesday, we’re going for a swim with one of the most iconic horror movies of all time (and, frankly, one of the most iconic movies just in general) as we take on Jaws (1975). The film may honestly be kind of minimalist considering how much of it is just three g...

So it’s a confirmed fact that The Black Phone (2022) is *not* scarier than Top Gun: Maverick, but it might be a contender for most depressing movie of the year. On this week’s Spooky Tuesday, we’re venturing back out to the theater for a film that features Ethan Hawke as a makeup-loving magician, child stars saying copious curse words, and a group of youths chanting “Bruce! Bruce! Bruce!” à la Mat...
