July 29, 2019 20. Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night II (1987).
Sarah and Adam are only two films into their Summer of Prom, but they’ve
already elected the late, great Mary Lou Maloney as their undead Prom Queen.
Make no mistake, Mary Lou is one of horror’s greatest monsters. In this extra-long episode on Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night
II, your hosts discuss what
makes this 50s demon great, as well as stink bombs, national treasures, and
the finer points of blowjob jokes.

July 12, 2019 19. Prom Night (1980).
Sarah & Adam review one of a couple of Canadian-shot slashers to cash in on
Jamie Lee Curtis’s Halloween fame between the production of Halloween and

their fondest memories of prom or, rather, how they both avoided it.

Did you know that not only were there were sequels to David Cronenberg’s
Scanners, but that the CanCon horror classic

aren’t the only thing that explode as Sarah and Adam gush about the cheesy
glory of Scanner Cop.

May 22, 2019 16. Scanners (1981).
Sarah and Adam get ready to blow your minds with Scare-itage’s first
Cronenberg! Their viewing of Scanners delves into the film’s troubled
production, which included a star who couldn’t act, an unfinished script, the
need to tone down the horror at one co-star’s request, and—most terrifying of
all—drunken phone calls from Patrick McGoohan.

May 01, 2019 15. Cube (1997).
Adam and Sarah enter their Cubist period to discuss Vincent Natali’s Cube
and the director’s proto-Cube short film, Elevated. The films—both feature and
short—serve as a launching pad for your hosts to sing the praises of David
Hewlett, discuss the rise and fall of C.O.R.E., and eviscerate the ways Cube
(and many other films) write mentally handicapped characters. Plus, Sarah
reveals how Julian Richings may be in your washroom...right now.

April 17, 2019 14. Pin (1988).
Michael Myers and Jason Voorhees were barely mobile, but the titular Pin
outdoes them both. Sarah & Adam discuss repressed killers, creepy dolls, Terry
O’Quinn, the surprise connections this film has to Canadian Heritage Minutes
and Breaking Bad, and more when they pay a visit to everyone’s favourite
anatomical doll. Pin: It’s a little bit Psycho, a little bit Magic, and a
whole lot of disturbing.

April 01, 2019 13. My Bloody Valentine 3D (2009).
You thought Adam & Sarah were going to discuss a movie about a killer
dummy...APRIL FOOLS! The real dummies are your hosts for playing this prank,

remakes over the last 15-plus years and their favourite character actors.

February 25, 2019 11. American Mary (2012).
Sarah & Adam celebrate Women in Horror month by discussing Jen & Sylvia
Soska’s American Mary. This divisive film splits your hosts on some
aspects, like so many split tongues, but there’s a lot to like about this ode
to body modification, revenge, torture, and female empowerment.
Content warning: Unpacking this film’s sexual violence leads to a larger
discussion about sexual assault in the genre. This discussion runs from
