Boys and Ghouls episodes

February 13, 2014 Poltergeist
A haunted house in the suburbs was the original and masterful take that "Poltergeist" gave to the haunted house genre. No one in the audience could feel safe from noises in the night after Steven Spielberg and Tobe Hooper let them know that a house doesn't need creaking doors or secret passages to be haunted.
Join Marshall and Kat as they explore that ranch-style haunted house with wall-to-wall carpeting, moving furniture, and plenty of closet space. Stay a while as they discuss "Poltergeist II: The Other Side" and "Poltergeist III" (which didn't get a subtitle but has earned a special place in Kat's heart).
Also, Kat shares her joy in getting to check a life-long dream off her bloody "bucket" list.

January 13, 2014 The Legend Of Sleepy Hollow
The spectral headless horseman and the unfortunate Ichabod Crane are the subject of this episode as we explore "The Legend Of Sleepy Hollow".
Starting with the original story by Washington Irving, "The Legend Of Sleepy Hollow" has galloped through through the years, inspiring several incarnations. This Boys and Ghouls episode looks at some of the best; the Disney version with Bing Crosby, the made-for-TV-movie with Jeff Goldblum, and the Tim Burton version with Johnny Depp.
AND NOW A WARNING... this in-depth exploration does not go so deep as to cover the new FOX show, "Sleepy Hollow" since, at the time of our recording, the network show was in a too-early-to-tell stage. However, the legend of "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" gave us enough fun and informative material to produce a robust episode.

December 13, 2013 His Name Was Jason
The Friday the 13th franchise was too big to cover all in one episode, so we sliced it in two. And now, the long-awaited second part of our critical look at the unstoppable slasher series is finally here!

Find out if Jason is really dead in “A New Beginning” or if he’s really un-dead in “Jason Lives”. Discover which movie Kat liked least, “Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood” or “Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan”? Then, join us as Jason Voorhees goes some unexpected places with “Jason Goes to Hell” and “Jason X”.

Is listening to Kat and Marshall talk about these movies more fun then actually watching them? Well… it’s easier to do while driving and only takes an hour!

November 13, 2013 Family Hour
Families in horror films are served up and dished out in this valuable episode. Listen in as Kat and Marshall anticipate the holidays by stuffing this hour with the cannibal family of "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre", the inbred family of X-Files' "Home", the twisted "House of 1,000 Corpses" Firefly family, and the altogether ooky Addams Family.

October 13, 2013 Halloween Specials
Halloween specials take over your televisions every October
with spooks and chills and, often, a lesson at the end. Kat and Marshall took a look at a few of
these fun-for-the-whole-family gems so they could bring you a very special
episode about very special specials.
So join us as we look deeply into It’s The Great Pumpkin,
Charlie Brown’s place in history, Tim Curry’s really sexy singing, which two
specials end with disco dancing, and what orange cat hates Mondays but loves
Halloween.
So tune in, boys and ghouls, as we share both those
Halloween memories that you treasure, and those Halloween memories that you can
just find on Youtube.

September 13, 2013 Friday The Thirteenth
The “Friday The Thirteenth” series is dissected in this
timely episode. For Kat and
Marshall to discuss every movie in the franchise (or, the first ten, anyway) it
would take two episodes. So,
that’s what they did.
So, join us for part one of our exploration of Camp Crystal
Lake’s only permanent resident, Jason Voorhees. Listen in as Jason progresses from being a jump-scare at the
end of part one, to being a deranged killer with a bag over his head in part
two, to being a deranged killer with a hockey mask in part three, to “dying” in
part four.
Also, Kat discusses how it’s not easy being green.

August 13, 2013 The Doctor Is In
Doctors in horror movies are exceptionally scary, with their
sharp scalpels and pointed needles.
Join Kat and Marshall as they examine those fearsome physicians and
dissect what makes them so chilling.
At the heart of this episode is 1992’s “Dr. Giggles”, which
Kat watched over and over as a youth and Marshall is just seeing for the first
time. Will the deadly doctor’s
post-mortem puns and medical one-liners still hold up? Or, will the duo need a second opinion?
DIAGNOSIS: entertaining and informative.
PERSCRIPTION: repeated listening.

Join Kat and Marshall as they cover the three movies to come from the late Richard Matheson’s masterwork, “I Am Legend” and learn what happens when the last man on Earth… isn’t alone!

Also, listen in as Kat and Marshall discuss their loose plans for what to do, and what to wear, if they inherited a quiet Earth. (hint, it’s re-goddamn-diculous)

June 13, 2013 Summer Camp
Summer Camp horror movies in their 1980's heyday gave us such classic and fun films as "Friday the 13th", "The Burning", and "Sleepaway Camp". It also gave us "Cheerleader Camp".

From killers in the woods, to creepy cooks, to an over-reliance on point-of-view shots, once you hear this episode you'll be wanting s'more!
