The Nightlight Horror Movie Club

Grab your scalpels and rib cutters, it's time for some body horror! Not for the faint of heart, this episode we talk about our own experiences performing autopsies, studying bugs and beetles on decomposing bodies, and if this pick lives up to the horror hype.

Emma's back with an especially freaky crime corner regarding the mysterious disappearance AND reappearance of Texan teen Nicholas Barclay.

Supernatural household appliances, 1970’s stranger danger, and bundles of black balloons create a nostalgic sepia-soaked melding of “true crime” and classic Blumhouse paranormal horror. Let’s compare and contrast the film with the short-story source material, highlight similarities between the fictional Grabber and notorious real-life serial killers, and openly gush about Ethan Hawke.

The Conjuring claims to be based on “true events,” and the real Perron family has spoken out about what’s fact and what’s fiction including the haunting of their mother, the curse on their land, and the paranormal investigators who capitalized on their story.

Urinary catheters, milk, sheep intestines, and Sigourney Weaver are critical ingredients to the unexpected recipe that spawned the now massive horror / sci-fi franchise.

The musical / film / cult classic that influenced queer culture, pulled Tim Curry into the limelight, and pioneered the torn fishnet.

This Hitchcock-inspired 2000’s teen slasher is a millennial's dream. It may lack lasting horror scares, but the nostalgic soundtrack, questionable fashion, and peak Shia LaBeouf make it well worthwhile.

Emma's back with an exceptionally grisly true crime story about a vicious attack at a Lululemon in Bethesda, Maryland.

If a sexy vampire named Jerry doesn't scare you, we don't know what will. Tune in for details on these incredible special effects, a heaping dose of behind-the-scenes action, and some light fan-girling for Chris Sarandon.

For centuries humans have believed the full moon to be a powerful influence over our physical and mental health. There are claims the full moon affects our sanity and strength, that it can trigger seizures and early labor. But how much of this is true? And is your brain actually just full of dew? Anyway, it's probably the moon's fault.
