    A group of teens realizes that their teachers, and eventually their classmates and townspeople, are acting strange. Then, two of them witness a strange incident in the teacher's lounge. Now it's up to them to figure out what exactly is going on and to find a way to stop it from spreading to other places ...

  • Bonus Episode - Pixi3's Music Space

    Pixi3 is a hostess in an awesome podcast about the adult entertainment industry called Next On Stage One. She sometimes hosts Spaces on her Twitter, where she invites people to have discussions about topics related to podcasting. For this one, she asked some content creators about their experiences in using, composing, and licensing music for use in podcasts and streaming. 

    If you have any questions about how to go about using or finding music for your podcast/channel, give this one a listen! It's very informative :)

    Join us as we talk about the cinematic aspects of this film in our Critique Segment! From the plot to the surprising lack of subtitles, anything is fair game!

    For our Academic Segment, we talk about the alleged myth of Ambrogio The Vampire. We had personally never heard of this (very likely fake) myth that involves Greek gods and goddesses and their role in the creation of the world's first vampire.

    Finally, we talk about Nadja as a vampire in the special edition of our Know Thine Frenemy Segment.

With this newfound knowledge and the help of some reluctant allies, she must face another difficult challenge in her present if she is to save not just her GF Sam, but all of Shadyside ...

  • Episode 49 - I Shall Fier No Evil Pt. 1 (Fear Street 1994 - Live Reaction!)

    The past can sometimes come to haunt us ... In the case of a group of teenagers from Shadyside, this old adage proves to be entirely too accurate. After inadvertently upsetting the evil spirit of a witch named Sarah Fier, Deena and her friends must find a way to stop her evil curse before it claims their lives!

    Join us in our first ever (though hopefully not last!) attempt at a Live Reaction (of sorts)! We watched the movie and commented as things developed (all while enjoying great food, snacks, and drinks ;) ), and we tried to come up with theories about the way things would play out. We also talked about how things from our own childhoods connected to the scenes from the movie.

    This was a very fun experiment! Special thanks go to the people that took some time to drop in and say hi during our Instagram Live. We unfortunately lost the video feed, but we appreciate all of you, and hopefully the next one can live on :D

  • Episode 48 - De Todo, Un Poco (Horror/Supernatural Round Table; Ft. Espooky Tales)

    Sometimes, you need a helping hand to get something done. For this episode, we decided we would ask someone to help us out as we talked about a variety of topics, and also to get their point of view about things we have discussed in the past.

    We are delighted to announce that we got to collaborate with Cristina and MJ from Espooky Tales Podcast on this episode! We had a very interesting and informative conversation about topics dealing with horror and the supernatural. Haunted houses, La Llorona, aliens, and nightmares/sleep paralysis are just some of the things that we covered. Join us for this great Round Table discussion! :D
