This week, we dive headfirst into Obsession, a movie that proves wishes are powerful, dangerous, and way too easy to get wrong. We get into the tragedy of Nikki Freeman, a character who deserved better but got the worst. We talk about what happened to her and how things progressively spiraled out of control.

And of course, we cannot ignore the absolute audacity of Bear, a character who makes choices so wrong and so baffling that we had to pause more than once just to process the nerve.

Finally, we put Obsession through our scary scale, rating it from 1 to 13 and debate where this atmospheric thriller lands in spectrum of screams. Be sure to subscribe to be notified when we post new episodes!

This week on 13 Degrees of Screams, we dive deep into Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island, continuing our conversation from our plot episode.

We break down how the film stacks up against classics like Courage the Cowardly Dog, Goosebumps, and other childhood horror media.

Then we dive into the movie’s development: how this story came to be and the surprising connection to another kid's cartoon.

And of course, we talk about the wild fact that this wasn’t the gang’s first brush with actual supernatural threats, tracing the history of “real monster” moments across the Scooby‑verse and how Zombie Island became the blueprint for the franchise’s darker era.

In this episode, we’re heading down to Moonscar Island to revisit one of the most memorable Scooby-Doo movies ever made: Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island. We dig into whether the zombies are actually scary, and we break down the movie’s surprisingly dark plot because nothing says childhood cartoon like immortal werecats, voodoo rituals, and a whole lot of dead pirates.

We also get into the movie’s atmosphere, suspicious characters, and the reveal that the monsters aren’t just people in masks this time. Plus, we debate whether this movie really was as intense as we remember from childhood or if we were just easier to scare back then.

Finally, we wrap it all up with our scary scale, rating Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island from 1 to 13 and deciding whether this childhood classic still holds up as a children's horror movie!

In this episode, we’re heading straight into the cornfields to talk about Frendo, one of the newest horror clowns to be added to the collection. We dig into whether he’s actually scary, and we break down the real motive behind the killings because nothing says small‑town scares like a clown with an agenda.

We also get into the movie’s comedy, debating whether the jokes land or if they’re just as cringey as older generations.

Finally, we wrap it all up with our scary scale, rating Clown in a Cornfield from 1 to 13 and deciding exactly where Frendo sits in the field of horror clowns!

In this episode of 13 Degrees of Screams, we're discussing Send Help (2026), Sam Raimi's horror comedy survival film about an overlooked corporate employee and her arrogant boss who become the only survivors of a plane crash and are stranded together on a remote island. We share our overall thoughts, discuss the balance of horror, comedy, and survival, and explore how Linda and Bradley's workplace power dynamic changes once they're fighting to survive.

We also dive into Rachel McAdams' transformation into Linda, the Survivor references, the film's CGI and absurd moments, and whether Linda remains sympathetic as her survival skills take a darker turn. Finally, we debate the plane crash, Linda's complicated past, and whether the ending gives her a satisfying "good for her" moment—or something much more disturbing.

Follow along to hear where Send Help lands on our scary scale of 1 to 13.

In this episode of 13 Degrees of Screams, we're discussing The Long Walk (2025), Francis Lawrence's adaptation of Stephen King's dystopian novel about a deadly walking competition where only one contestant can survive. We share our overall thoughts, discuss the emotional moments that hit the hardest, debate the film's ending, and explore whether the story works best as a survival thriller, a psychological drama, or both.

We also compare the movie to Stephen King's original novel, discuss why the ending was changed, and share behind-the-scenes trivia, including the cast's grueling filming experience and a few hidden details you may have missed.

Follow along to hear where The Long Walk lands on our scary scale of 1 to 13.

This week on 13 Degrees of Screams, we’re diving into Drop, a thriller that’s way more suspenseful than it should be, even as the characters’ motivations get… let’s say mysteriously unclear. Still, if you don’t think too hard about it, the ride is undeniably fun. We break down the tension, the deadly plot to take out a date, and the charm of a movie that thrives on fun over logic. 

Then, as always, we put Drop through our scary scale, rating it from 1 to 13. Our ratings may surprise you!

In this episode of 13 Degrees of Screams, we're discussing Carrie (1976), Brian De Palma’s supernatural horror classic based on Stephen King’s debut novel, in which a relentlessly bullied high school girl discovers her telekinetic powers and unleashes devastating revenge after a cruel prom-night prank. We discuss our first impressions of the film, how it compares to the other Carrie adaptations, the beautifully unsettling prom sequence, and whether Tommy and Sue’s well-intentioned plan was doomed from the start.

We also break down Margaret White’s twisted religious beliefs, how years of abuse shaped Carrie’s tragic story, and the connection between her delayed puberty and the awakening of her powers. Along the way, we discuss differences between the novel and film, including Carrie’s childhood telekinetic abilities, and the behind the scenes story of how P. J. Soles’ trademark hat accidentally expanded Norma’s role in the movie. Join us as we revisit one of horror’s most influential classics and see where Carrie lands on our scary scale.

Follow along to hear where Carrie lands on our scary scale of 1 to 13.

“Carrie” by Keaton Whittaker Ricky Vaydr YouTube Channel

In this episode of 13 Degrees of Screams, we tear into House of 1000 Corpses and explore how Rob Zombie’s debut film builds its twisted world of killers. We dig into the Firefly family and why they remain one of horror’s most unhinged clans... and maybe the most silly?

Then we take a detour into true crime, unpacking the story of the Bloody Benders, the infamous 19th‑century serial killer family whose crimes haunt American folklore. And then we ask: is House of 1000 Corpses all style over substance, or are there actual themes you can pull from it?

Of course, we end the episode by rating it on our scary scale of 1-13!
