Squad Ghouls - A Horror Podcast

Everyone loves a "final girl." You know, the only one that obeys the rules of the horror film and survives until the end. She's brave, she doesn't go down to the basement, she doesn't get any 'action' per say, and she's tougher than you think. While we weren't super thrilled with this one, it's a quick read and jam packed with 70s/80s slasher nostalgia. 

Hopefully you've heard about this sleeper, but The Rental is a fresh take on a classic home invasion story. We had the chance to see it at our local drive-in, and we weren't disappointed in our experience. 

By special request from one of our listeners, we thought we would share some of our favorite spots to buy Halloween decorations, which are basically just house decorations for us. We'll talk party decor, dishes, animatronics, towels, tablecloths, clothes, art, and anything else you could need. Some of these we're sure that you'll know, but some may come as a surprise. We included a few retailers f...

If you haven't seen the 1990 miniseries or the 2017/2019 remakes, you may live under a rock, but that's ok! In this episode, we discuss these iconic films, the casts, and a few other tidbits you may not have known about either version. Are you team Tim Curry as Pennywise? Or Bill Skarsgard? We were a split decision. 

We're making a list of haunted places that we'll be visiting when Americans are allowed to leave the country again, and Edinburgh is at the top of our list! This episode was really fun to put together, and some of the places we talk about really creeped us out. From Queen Mary's Close, to the Vaults, to body snatching, we really only scratched the surface of the fun, haunted things to do and see i...

We love a good horror anthology, and this is one of our favorites. The Tales From the Hood films were groundbreaking stories that all featured not only black actors, but spoke to issues plaguing the black community. We had a ton of fun doing this episode, and we hope you all enjoy it.

We stopped to record an episode for some of our favorite places that are still open in quarantine! In this episode, we discuss the history of the Old Jewish Cemetery, Greenwood Cemetery, Pere Lachaise, and Forest Lawn Glendale. We hope you enjoy!

In this episode, we review and rate the 2020 film "Relic." It wasn't what we were expecting from a horror movie, but we didn't hate it. It's definitely worth the watch.

Ever wonder if ghosts wander the Disney Parks? We've got your answer! In this episode, we discuss the ghosts that haunt these parks around the world as well as some of the macabre incidents that have occurred. Buckle up! You don't want to miss this!

No, not the Sir Mix-A-Lot reference, the movie with Lulu Wilson and Kevin James. In this episode we discuss the movie "Becky" and our thoughts. Let us tell you, this definitely wasn't what we were expecting.

Put on your comfy clothes, because this is a long one. In this boooooook club review, we discuss "The Stand." We'll cover the plot, some fun facts you may or may not have known, our favorite characters, themes, character development, and our hopes for the miniseries. You know, normal book club stuff. Happy listening!

We went there. In this episode, we talk about the greatest horror film of all time - "The Exorcist." We'll discuss the book based on the real case that inspired its writing, the casting, special effects, and the most terrifying part of all - the incredibly cursed set. You don't want to miss this one.

We love old Hollywood, but what's even better than old Hollywood? Haunted Hollywood! This episode is the start of a series of haunted cities around the world. We picked our backyard as our first episode. We talk about some of our favorite spots and the ghosts that inhabit them. 

We absolutely loved the original Pet Sematary from 1989 (directed by horror legend, Mary Lambert), so we thought it would be fun to compare the '89 version to the 2019 version. We threw in some tidbits about the original Stephen King novel just for good measure.

We may or may not have freaked ourselves out with this episode. We discuss all things paranormal games including Ouija boards, the midnight game, Bloody Mary, hide and seek alone, and many more. 

In this episode, we discuss one of our all time favorite classic horror films - House on Haunted Hill. We'll discuss the 1959 version as well as the 1999 remake of the same name. Scare you later!

We LOVE a good ghost story, but we REALLY LOVE a good urban legend. We trade stories that you know, and some that you may not be as familiar with. We also discuss Sara's favorite 3am rabbit hole: creepypastas!

When we heard of the drive-in theater success of the film "The Wretched," we knew we had to check it out. In this episode, we'll talk about the film, where the story came from, and how it's been such a success story during the pandemic.

We don't know about all of you, but we've been reading quite a bit during quarantine. In this episode, we discuss the novel "Doctor Sleep." We discuss the book, as well as the film that hit theaters in late 2019.

We love a good werewolf movie, so this week we discuss the classic film "Wolfman" from 1941 versus the 2010 remake of the same name. We loved the original, but the remake had some bright spots as well (even if it bombed). Which was your favorite?

Get out of my dreams and into my hearse. In this episode we discuss all things Dearly Departed Tours in Hollywood, CA. We'll walk you through their tour offerings, YouTube channel, and their famous artifact museum.

From 1982 to 2019, we talk all things Creepshow spanning the original movie to the new TV series on Shudder/AMC. We had some loves, and some that we could do without, but it's definitely still worth a watch.

What's crowded with bodies, but open during quarantine? Cemeteries of course! In this episode we discuss some of our favorite socially distant (if you count six feet under) cemeteries and their history. We discuss Hollywood Forever, Granary Burying Ground, Bonaventure Cemetery, and Howard Street Cemetery.

In order to lift the voices of black artists in horror, we picked three different films starring black actors: Night of the Living Dead, Candyman, and Get Out.

The Jackal, the Torn Prince, the Hammer, you name them, we talk about them. This episode discusses the ever popular 2001 film "Thirteen Ghosts" by special request from one of our listeners. We compare this version to the William Castle version from 1960.
