An uninvited visitor finds her way into this episode... but it's okay, it's just a cat.

Sarah and Jonathan revisit some of 2000s horror's most audacious twist endings this episode. The movies covered (and spoiled!) are: Identity (2003), The Skeleton Key (2005), Drag Me To Hell (2009), and Orphan (2009). Which one of these almost ended our friendship forever? Only one way to find out.

(Also, beware drive-by spoilers for Adaptation, Switchblade romance, Split, and Last Christmas. Oops.)

It's Friday the 13th and it's October, you know we had to get extra spooky!

This episode, Jonathan and Sarah investigate a string of movies that all reckon there's nothing scarier than the wardrobe in a child's bedroom after dark: we're talking Boogeyman (2005), Dead Silence (2007), and Insidious (2010), with bonus They (2002) and Darkness Falls (2003).

Mainly, we learned never to heckle ventriloquists...

Let us know what you thought of this episode on X (we're @ChillennialHPod) or via email ([email protected]).

What's the scariest film you've ever seen and why is it The Ring (2002)?

Sarah and Jonathan rewatch three fairly unloved remakes of Japanese horror movies to check if they were actually any good or if the received wisdom that the originals were better is actually true.

No prizes for guessing the answer.

Films covered include The Ring (2002), The Grudge (2004), and Dark Water (2005), with a deservedly brief mention of Pulse (2006) and One Missed Call (2008).

Just when you thought this podcast was dead... it came back to life for one (and probably loads more, tbh) last scare!

This time, we're looking back at the 2000s trend for adapting computer games into movies so everyone could get really really angry about it. From Resident Evil (2002) through House of the Dead (2003) to Doom (2005) and Silent Hill (2006), we're asking the big question: did anyone ever make a good videogame movie?

As always, you can chat about the episode with us at @chillennialhpod, @SarahDobbs and @JonathanHatfull.

We've been avoiding it for about a year, but it's finally time for us to face our fears and revisit the zombie boom of the early 2000s! Join us as we relive our memories of 28 Days Later (2002), Dawn of the Dead (2004), Shaun of the Dead (2004), and Land of the Dead (2005). As always, spoilers for all of our main features abound, plus some chat about Anna and the Apocalypse (2017).

Have we come to terms with running zombies yet? What are our zombie survival plans? And what do zombies have to do with avocado toast? Have a listen, and then give us a tweet to @ChillennialHPod.

We've seen the new Scream film! And you're right, technically none of the Scream films fall under our remit, except mayyyyyyyybe Scream 3, but do you think that's going to stop us? No it's not.

We do have a rationale for that in the episode, but mostly we wanted to tell you our thoughts on Scream VI, as well as endlessly quoting the original one to each other and giggling about it. You know the drill by now.

You can't say we don't deliver on our promises. This episode, we revisited all the 2000s horror movies that made Kyle Gallner into our fave scream king (with the notable exception of A Nightmare On Elm Street, which we covered in Episode 3) and then dove into the evolution of Kyle, from 2009 to 2022. 

Our main features - so, the ones we get into super spoilery chat about - are The Haunting In Connecticut, Jennifer's Body, and Red State, with mention of The Master Cleanse, The Cleansing Hour, Dinner In America, Ghosts Of War, Scream, and Smile.

Sometimes, prepping for these episodes is hard (shout out to Underworld, ugh) but this one was almost pure joy.

This episode, it's all supernatural business all the time as we revisit South Korean horror movies of the 2000s. Your watchlist:

Spoilers abound, and also the Unfriended ghost plagued us a bit this episode so there's a bit of extra crackle on the audio... call it the Halloween spirit.

We're baaaaaaaack! Yes, we know, and we're sorry, it's been ages, we've got loads of excuses. But let's just get straight to the movies. In our second episode focused on vampires and werewolves, we cover the meaner and less sexy side of the genre. We're talking Ginger Snaps: Unleashed (2004), 30 Days Of Night (2007), Let The Right One In (2008) and Daybreakers (2009). And there's not a single leather catsuit in sight!

We're back, and we're starting another new mini series!

This time round, it's vampires vs werewolves, and we're kicking it off with some of the decade's earliest entries in the genre: Dracula 2000 (2000) (aka Dracula 2001), Blade II (2002), Queen Of The Damned (2002), and Underworld (2003). Yes, that's a lot of leather trousers.
