At Sounds Scary, we may live for screams and scares—but we also have a soft spot for a good laugh, a heartfelt moment, and maybe even a tear or two. And no one blends those elements better than Todd Strauss-Schulson.

To kick off the summer movie season, we’re thrilled to welcome the visionary director behind The Final Girls, A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas, and Pitch Perfect: Bumper in Berlin to the show!

If you’re a horror fan who also loves genre-bending storytelling, The Final Girls is a must-see. It’s a clever, emotional, and visually stunning love letter to slasher films—equal parts parody, tribute, and gut punch. The film manages to be hilarious and heartbreaking, with a time-bending premise that explores grief, motherhood, and final girl tropes in a way no other horror-comedy has.

Todd’s ability to layer real emotional stakes into a neon-soaked, blood-splattered narrative is exactly why this episode is such a treat. And if you haven’t seen The Final Girls yet… seriously, go watch it now. You’ll thank us later.
