Spooktacular Series: Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974)

Our second Spooktacular show centers on the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Giff chose this movie as he considers it the original slasher film. Is it the greatest horror movie of all-time? Is it the worst? How does it compare the big 80's slashers? Our opinions are all over the board on this one.
After answering those questions and more, we break down the horror genre into 8 sub-genres. It turns out this was kind of a fascinating way of looking at things. We discuss our favorite and least favorite categories and name drop many many movies we consider examples of each category. Listen along if you dare...

Spooktacular Series: The Blair Witch Project (1999) / Halloween Memories

Send us a text

In honor of Halloween, we are kicking off a monthlong Spooktacular! Scary movies and specials galore! We begin with maybe the most brilliantly marketed movie of all-time: The Blair Witch Project. Pete chose this movie as he remembered it being a one of a kind experience. 20+ years later, how does it hold up to repeat viewings?
But before we discuss the movie, we start our month of Halloween-themed spookiness by reminiscing about Halloweens and costumes from our young adult years. How many years in a row could Brad stuff a pillow in his shirt as part of a costume? How far could Pete's wife make him go to complete a couple's costume? Can Giff remember anything or was he too drunk? Hit play now!

Spooktacular Series: A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 4 (1988) and Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter (1984) / Top Horror Franchises

Send us a text

The third installment of our Spooktacular focuses on two of the most beloved and well-known horror franchises out there: A Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday the 13th. Because we are unique and don't play by the rules, we focused on the 4th installment of each. Freddy and Jason are hard to kill and good at killing, but which has the better kill scenes? What did we think of each film? Who's scarier? WTF is up with Corey Feldman? There is a lot to dive in to.
We go on to compare the two franchises using Giff's horror expertise, Brad's slasher virginity, and Pete's knowledge that falls somewhere in between. Do Freddy's one-liners put him over the top? Or does the hulking Jason win by KO? We finish this episode with our lists of favorite horror franchises of all-time.
