Earth Station Boo and friends Sam & Thomas, take a deep dive into the mind of filmmaker Mike Flanagan, one of modern horror’s most distinctive voices. Known for his ability to blend psychological depth with supernatural terror, Flanagan has redefined the genre with his unique visual style and storytelling. In this episode, we explore his signature approach to horror. We also discuss his impressive adaptations, including Gerald’s Game and the Haunting of Hill House, and what makes him such a perfect fit for retelling Literature via film. As we review and rate his filmography, from Oculus to Midnight Mass, we examine the lasting impact he has had on horror cinema and television. Whether you’re a longtime fan or new to his work, join us for a discussion on one of horror’s modern masters.

Plus, we share our favorite kills, chat about the most faved movie, and debate which slasher film we'd actually want to survive. Sharpen your blades—this one's a killer.

Join our Haunted Hosts—Lysa, Karen, and Shannon—as they unravel the chilling mysteries of Bridgewater, the hit supernatural audio drama from Grim & Mild Entertainment. Created by Lauren Shippen and Aaron Mahnke, and starring Misha Collins, Melissa Ponzio, and Karan Soni, Bridgewater blends real paranormal folklore with gripping fiction, bringing the infamous Bridgewater Triangle to life.

In this episode, we dive deep into the haunting legends that inspired the show and explore how its eerie entities—ghosts, cryptids, and beyond—compare to other horror media rooted in true myths. We break down Jeremy Bradshaw’s transformation from skeptic to believer, the emotional weight of his father’s disappearance, and the way the missing persons trope fuels the horror. Plus, we examine the masterful sound design that immerses listeners in dread, dissect the cast’s performances, and ask: did the season finale leave us satisfied, or screaming for more?

Whether you’re a fan of horror podcasts, supernatural mysteries, or the real-life lore behind Bridgewater, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in as we rate, analyze, and speculate on what’s next for this chilling series. Let’s get spooky!

The literary masterpiece that gave birth to modern science fiction—Mary Shelley's Frankenstein! The Haunted hosts with our friend & Dragon Con Horror Track Director Derek Tatum chat about the groundbreaking themes of ambition, power, and responsibility. Not only discuss the haunting question of what truly makes a "monster," but unpacks the enduring relevance of Shelley's iconic novel. Shelley's perspective as a young woman in a male-dominated literary world shaped her narrative and themes. The debate on whether Victor or society holds more blame for the creature's tragic transformation, and the morality of scientific ambition and "playing God."

Find out what the Haunted Hosts loved—and maybe didn’t love—about this Gothic Sci-Fi classic.
