The Horror You Know

We kick off Cryptozoology Month with the Wendigo! Like talking about horny flesh eaters and flaming skulls with nuts in their mouth? Well, this episode might be right up your alley. To coincide with the Wendigo, we also discuss the 2021 film Antlers.

Get your inner Norwegian demons ready for this crazy tale of betrayal and murder at 120 rpms. We are going to go into the intriguing story of the "true Norwegian Black Metal" scene, the tragic history of the band Mayhem,  and listen to a story of how some people take things just a little too far.

Got a sweet tooth? Do you love bees? Maybe you are missing a hand. If any of this is true, then this episode is for you! This week, Ian Wells assumes hosting duties as he takes us behind the history of the 1992 horror classic Candyman! We talk about Clive Barker's work which the film is based on; the real life story of Ruthie Mae McCoy & the Cabrini Green Medicine Cabinet Murders; Dean Corll —...

This week's episode is out of this world as we make our first venture into outer space, UFOs, and aliens. We ponder the final frontier, its vastness, and the probability of life existing outside of Earth. We also swap some UFO stories before diving into the main topic: FIRE IN THE SKY.  Fire in the Sky , the 1993 film, recounts one of the most famous alien abduction stories of an Arizona logg...

It's Ian's turn to cover the broad strokes on this deep dive into depravity.  Talk about gettin' the shaft!  This week Ian T. lays it down for us with a lengthy story about one of the most infamous 'plumbers' in film history. This story has substance.  It has girth.  It probably has an STD!  It is the meatiest story to come down the pipe in a long time!

The suspects get more 'sus' giving Ian mire room to ramble.  Who do you think the Zodiac Killer was? The world may never know. (esp. after listening to this pod! LOL)

Our last entry for Serial Killer Month takes us back to the swinging 60's as we cover the «—§†^#   ¡†××»¥   — for all of our Jr. Cipher Solvers, that translates to the "Zodiac Killer" Ian takes us along on the case of the mysterious man whose killing spree terrorized Northern California for decades. We also compare the events with how they were depicted in the 2007 David Fincher-dir...

Come on Aileen! (Whoa)...I swear well he means!  This is the true story of Aileen Wuornos, the ugly truth behind Charlize Theron and her turn in the Monster, and what we actually think of the real lady behind the mayhem.

This episode goes into detail on the genius of Alfred Hitchcock and the split opinions about the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre. **So, to be honest with you all, we had major audio issues during the Psycho part of this episode due to mics and Covid-19 problems.  Please excuse the unprofessionalism of the quality of the episode (Says the same guys that go on and on about nipple belts!)**

Get a new suit for the Holidays?  Bet it doesn't compare to the suit that Little Eddie Gein made for himself!  Come along as we discuss all of the gory details of little Eddie Gein's life.

We continue our Scream discussion by concluding the story of Danny Rolling aka the Gainesville Ripper; We talk about how it inspired the original Scream ; We also discuss the 1996 classic film, as well as the franchise as a whole, and how it changed the game and defined 90's era horror.

"They always come back." The beloved slasher franchise is back for another round after an 11-year hiatus and it is sweeping the nation. So naturally, the Horror You Know crew is getting in on the bloody fun. We review, discuss and break down the brand new Scream (2022) — Or Scream 5... Or maybe it's 5cream?  We also begin the story of the Gainesville Ripper — the real-life serial killer whose...

More sexiness from the Warrens.  More sexiness from The Horror You Know Crew! It's the Conjuring 2 with bad British teeth and all!

Poltergeist is an American 1982 supernatural horror film, directed by Tobe Hooper, produced by Steven Spielberg, and released by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer on June 4, 1982. It is the first and most successful of the Poltergeist film trilogy, and was nominated for three Academy Awards.  We are going to take a look at the real poltergeist that inspired the film and then discuss this award worthy film at le...

The crew decided to do an end of the year list for anybody who cares.  It involves movies, music, and podcasts along with what we want to do in the future.  Happy New Years...stay safe...and stay spooky!

In our final episode of 2021, Darrin and Trent reflect one more time on the Holiday Season by discussing the 1974 slasher hit Black Christmas. They go over the famous urban legend that inspired the film and some of the true stories that inspired the legend. They also wax nostalgic by sharing some of their favorite Christmas traditions, some personal Christmas stories, and engage in the age-old deb...

It's almost Christmas, so we decided to take a look into the darker side of the holidays and Santa's frightening counterpart — KRAMPUS! We dig into the beast's mythology, talk the 2015 film from Michael Dougherty, and try to get to the root of Ian's hatred of Christmas.  Pour a nice cup of eggnog, munch on some cookies, and enjoy this festive Holiday Episode!

This week we go over the extremely polarizing film, Malignant, and the disgusting ideas that inspired it. This was taped in Trent’s garage making a hollow sound with the mics. However, the episode is really good, so suck it Trebek!

So, we are onto the part two of this witch's brew. 

You will be "thankful" for the episode that we "conjured" up this week. That's right, Ian and the crew take on The Conjuring and "dig" up the true stories behind the James Wan modern classic. Come "hang" with us as we deal with unwanted guests in the film and in real life during this holiday weekend. Tell all of your friends and horror family to check us out and like, subscribe, and review us on a...

*We had minor audio issues with this episode, but nothing to get your panties in a bunch! Plus Darrin mistakingly says that there are five parts to the Jaws franchise when there are only four. What an ignorant slut!* This is the second part of the JAWS episode.  It tells the story of the U.S.S. Indianapolis and we discuss the Spielberg film Jaws.

In this episode, we 'dive' into the tragically horrible stories behind the classic film, JAWS.  This will be a two part episode.  *Minor audio issues, because this was our first episode that we taped.  We are NOOBS, so bear with us! Correction — “Cruel Jaws” was from 1995 and not 1981. We try to keep the episodes intact, but sometimes we need to correct ourselves when need be.

This is The Horror You Know Podcast's inaugural episode! It contains discussions on childhood Halloween memories, Halloween (1978), the story that inspired the film, and a few personal scary stories to boot. So, sit back with a pumpkin spice beer, a chocolate latte, or whatever the heck you want to get you in the spooky mood and listen to The Horror You Know!
