The Devil Made Me View It: A Horror Podcast

In an amazing stroke of luck, we were both able to find the time to finish Mike Flanagan's CARRIE, so that means we were able to get this episode recorded way ahead of schedule. Be warned, we hold off on spoilers for about as long as we could. We warn you during the show, but we'd hate to be the ones to ruin the fun. Enjoy!

Join us as we revisit 1980's FRIDAY THE 13th to get ready for Peacock's CRYSTAL LAKE. We celebrate Betsy Palmer and go over the whole series a bit as we decide what films would be best to help someone get caught up A24's new series.

As we get ready to dive into Mike Flanagan's CARRIE on Prime, we wanted to revisit the film that kick started not only Stephen King's career, but also Brian DePalma and Sissy Spacek's. CARRIE is a timeless film and we couldn't wait to revisit a true classic.

After talking about it for months, we finally got the chance to see Evil Dead: The Musical! No more bootlegs or back of the house videos, we were there front row center to take in the magic and majesty that is THE EVIL DEAD. This bonus episode is not just us bragging. We're putting this out there in hopes that anyone lucky enough to have the show being put on near them takes a chance and goes out...

As we work to get everything ready for our Halloween run, we present to you a look back at our IT miniseries episode. We recorded this before we lost Tim Curry and it's oddly peaceful revisiting a world with him still in it. And as an added note, this episode's title card has an original piece of art by JR's lovely wife Kat. And happy birthday, mom. Enjoy! Follow us at TDMMVIPod https://www.facebo...

This week we're revisiting a few older episodes and carefully screening them for SPOILERS. First up is a look at BRING HER BACK, one of our favorite films of 2025. Enjoy!

This isn't a hot take, but we both LOVED Zach Cregger's unique take on the Resident Evil franchise. Join us as we try and figure out why it works so well even when it strays from the source material and why it keeps getting better the more we think about it. And we apologize in advance for the more than liberal dropping of the F bomb, but it just seemed appropriate this week. THANKS! https://www.f...

Halloween is the best time of the year, but being 110 degrees outside makes it a little hard to get into the spirit of the holiday. Instead of just complaining about the hear, we decided to come up with a few films to help us get into the right headspace for Trick or Treating. Enjoy! https://www.facebook.com/share/1HGG7YsSer/?mibextid=wwXIfr #horrorpodcast #horror #horrormovies #podcast #horrorcom...

After last week's celebration of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, we just had to share of mutual love of the documentary that helped us appreciate this all time classic in a new light. Linus O'Brien's beautiful portrait of his father's most famous work grabbed us by the throat and didn't let go until the final credits. If you're a Rocky Horror fan and haven't see it, do yourself a favor and fix that...

When the news of Tim Curry's passing hit us, we did what everyone did. We went back and watched every movie of his we could get our sad little hands on. And then we remembered we had a podcast and could maybe do something more productive than just sad watch CLUE for the 1000th time (which we did anywhere). We decided to celebrate Mr Curry by rewatching THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW and remember hi...

This week we attack all things EXIT 8. First we played the game and now we're discussing the film. We HIGHLY recommend either playing the game first (or watching our vid) and then watch this episode. It won't spoil anything, but the film gloriously works so well that it might be hard to go backwards. THANKS!

It's no coincidence that our 50th Episode fell on Texas Chain Saw Day and we're celebrating in style. We go deep on our love and appreciation for the Tobe Hooper classic and what it means to us and what it means to the horror genre and to film history in general. Yes, it's an unabashed love fest but the greatest film EVER MADE deserves no less. Thanks for the last 50 episodes and here's to (at lea...

Our original plan was to release this episode on August 18th to celebrate Chain Saw Day which coincidentally would have been our 50th episode, but much in the spirit of the Tobe Hooper classic, there were some technical problems to overcome. So instead, we're releasing our commentary episode a week early and we're saving our full Chain Saw discussion for Ep 50. And let's face it, there's never eno...

This week we're joined by Jesse's stepdad and all around stand up guy to help JR fill a Pink Floyd shaped hole in his life. We discuss where they were when they first saw this 1982 classic and what it meant for both of them growing up. And then JR makes excuses why he's so late to the game. It's never too late to find yourself a copy of Pink Floyd: The Wall. It's absolutely worth your time. Follow...

This week we're joined by Jesse's brother Cody to explore the wonder that is 1983's Sleepaway Camp and how it needs to be seen to be believed, especially from the vantage point of the modern day cinema. Does it still work? Did it ever? It's a hard film to discuss without spoiling, so you've been warned! THANKS!

This week we catch up on a film that we missed during its theatrical run. Lee Cronin's The Mummy left us divided, with one of us feeling underwhelmed and one of us championing it as an underappreciated gem. Who's right? Who's wrong? And which of us changed their mind by the time we ended the recording? No matter how you feel about the film, we still say it's a proud member of the Horror Class of 2...

Just when we thought we were done with the Evil Dead franchise, they drag us back to hell... and we couldn't be happier about it. Join us as we willingly go back to the wonderful world of the deadites and cursed spell books with Sébastien Vanicek's EVIL DEAD BURNS. We get deep into spoilers at about the twenty minute mark, but we give you fair warning. And as far as warnings go, we do get into som...

We just couldn't get enough of folk horror after our Wicker Man discussion, so we brought Andrew back to explore the this dark little corner of the genre. We talk everything from the Unholy Trilogy to Children of the Corn sequels. It's a fun talk that left us all realizing that we'd barely scratched the surface.

We invited an old friend who just so happens to have been our film school instructor on to talk up some horror and he didn't let us down. He smacked down the 1973 classic THE WICKER MAN onto the slab for us to dissect and that's exactly what we did. We do mention the Nic Cage remake a little, but that's a discussion for another day.

Talking up Frankenstein and The Bride of Frankenstein just wasn't enough. This week Jesse crosses off some films of his To Watch list and we discuss just what it is that makes monsters special, and why we need them more than we really know. From James Wales The Invisible Man to the modern day Kong and Godzilla flicks, we can learn from all of them.

We continue our look at the James Whale classics with returning guest Thomas's take on The Bride of Frankenstein. We unfairly pit it against its predecessor and decide who wins and point out just how much of an impact the film still carries, and not just to the Hot Topic crowd. Part Two of Two

We bring on a special guest to explore the greatness that is James Whale’s Frankenstein and try to comprehend how audiences must have felt seeing Boris Karloff as the Monster for the first time in 1931. Part One of Two- next we celebrate The Bride of Frankenstein

Is it too early to declare OBSESSION our favorite film of 2026? We're joined again by Becky to dig into Curry Baker's hit as it sets box office records while somehow also being a damned good flick. Spoilers abound, so if you're one of the twelve people who haven't watched it yet, hold off on this episode until after seeing it. We go deep into the film's last five minutes. Enjoy!

It's time to show SCREAM 4 some damned love, and not just because our guest threatened us at Bowie knife point to do it. We sat down and celebrated Wes Craven's final film and reconsidered the sequel's place in his filmography. It's a fun episode and here's hoping you appreciate that NONE of asked the hack question: What's your favorite scary movie?

This week we pulled out all the stops and booked a guest who's been a part of the show for months but hasn't made an appearance. That's right, it's Jesse's mom, Dawn. Dawn joins us to talk up all things Freddy Krueger, specifically in the OG A Nightmare on Elm Street and his place in 80's horror history. Keep those eyes open and enjoy! J&J
