Good news, scaredy cats! Today our friend Christian is here to present a less scary film than usual.

This week, we are talking about 2009's Coraline, which falls under the category of "made for kids, but probably traumatized them a little bit". The film follows the story of a young girl who moves into a new house with her parents, and discovers its dark secrets. A portal into a mirror world promises everything the girl could ever want, but her alternate family may have more sinister desires.

Join us as we discuss French root words, fairy mythology, and why cats truly rule the world.

And remember: don't get too scared!

We finally made it to the end... for now!

This week, Pete closes off our October Franchise Breakdown with The Exorcist: Believer, a requel from David Gordon Green that features not one, but two possessed little girls! Can he perform the same magic he pulled with his Halloween requel? Unfortunately, yes!

Join us as we discuss the holy Avengers lineup, common tourist mistakes, and the growing typecast of Ann Dowd. Featuring a special bonus discussion of stunt cameos, and the truckloads of money required to pull them off.

So one final time this month: grab your crucifix, drink some holy water, and as always, don't get too scared!

We've talked prequels, we've talked sequels, but now we're talking one of the rarest of concepts: Requel in tv show format!

This week Sarah is breaking down season 1 of The Exorcist: The Series, which acts as a continuation of the universe of the original film, and ignores anything that came before! A normal family becomes plagued by possession, and it's up to two priests to save the day. One is a rogue gay priest who carries a gun, and the other is a conflicted priest who lusts after a married woman. What could possibly go wrong!?

Join us as we discuss retreaded plot points, inconsequential head injuries, and sexism in the demonic workplace!

And remember - don't get too scared!

What do you do when you dump millions of dollars into a movie you don't believe in, and it fails to get you a profit? Why, you dump even more millions into it and release it again, of course!

This week, Pete walks us through the production nightmare that is The Exorcist: The Beginning, also known as Dominion: Prequel to The Exorcism.

Both versions tell the story of a younger Father Merrin, traumatized survivor of WW2, and wandering archaeologist. He winds up in Africa, digging up a buried church on top of a buried temple, built to safeguard an ancient evil. Of course, things go wrong, people get possessed, and someone is in need of an exorcism.

Join us as we discuss terrible CGI animals, horny demons, and the real estate value of buried demon-warding temples.

And remember: don't get too scared...

It's beginning to look a lot like Halloween... the franchise, not the holiday. But also the holiday... oh, never mind!

This week on Fearless Films, Pete is breaking down The Exorcist 3 (sometimes known as Legion).

It's looking like Halloween because this sequel is a direct continuation of the original film and does not acknowledge the second movie at all. So, it's gonna be one of these franchises!!

This movie follows a grizzled old detective who is investigating the copy-cat murders of a notorious serial killer. But nothing is as it seems when secrets are revealed, and the devil's work doings are afoot.

Join us as we discuss the fluid nature of this franchise, the talents of Brad Dourif, and the mysteries of the elusive carp.

And as always: don't get too scared!

Happy October, Fearless Fans!! It's time for another franchise breakdown, and this year the winner is... The Exorcist!!!

Strap in for two sequels, one prequel that was done twice, a tv series, and a requel.

Starting off with the Heretic, we join a now teenage Regan and another priest struggling with his faith as they face off against Pazuzu, and his army of evil locusts. Our heroes are joined by Nurse Ratched and her magical two-person hypnotism machine, and a surprise appearance by Mufasa.

Join us as we discuss locusts, magical disappearing bodies, locusts, pop psychology of the 1970's, locusts, absentee parents, and more locusts!

Turn on the disco ball, spike the punch, and get those heads rolling because it's Prom Night!

This week, Pete walks us through this 1980 slasher that stars Jamie Lee Curtis, still burning hot off of her Halloween breakout!

A group of high school friends are being stalked and picked off one by one, and who knows if anyone will survive until the end of the night!! Hint: Jamie survives. She usually does.

Join us as we discuss the free-range childhood of the 1970's, the importance of police transparency, and how impractical a shard of glass is as a long term slasher weapon.

So take your partner out to the (disco) dance floor, and remember: don't get too scared!

Hey Fearless Fans! It's time to take a vacation to a tropical island to enjoy some sun, some fun, and some cursed spirits!

This week, Sarah takes us on a trip to The Resort! A group of friends go on a journey to an abandoned island resort to research its supposed haunted nature. Sure enough, it is haunted, and the friends start dropping like flies.

Join us as we discuss good and bad study habits, poor screenwriting choices, and what even is the deal with the ghost in this movie.

Also, we introduce a new feature of our discussions: The Checklist of Horror Movie Tropes! We keep track of all the cliches and formulas in every movie, so you are better prepared for what to expect, and know just what kind of movie you are getting into every week.

So grab a pen and paper (and a drink with a little umbrella) and remember: don't get too scared!

What do you get when you mix horny teenagers, a blood-thirsty killer, and white-boy rap all in one movie? You get Cheerleader Camp!

This week, Pete talks us through an 80's sexploitation slasher flick about... well a group of teenagers getting slaughtered at a cheerleader camp. It's really not that deep.

Join us as we discuss peeping toms, corrupt cops, and very bad editing choices.

And as always: don't get too scared!

You can run, you can hide, but you can't escape a POORLY TITLED SEQUEL!!!

That's right, Sarah is back to talk us through the sequel to the WWE produced slasher flick, See No Evil, appropriately titled... See No Evil 2. Lame.

Kane is back and bloodier than ever. When Jacob Goodnight's body is brought to the local morgue immediately after the events of the first film, he rises once again (with no explanation) to slaughter a bunch of hapless victims.

Join us as we discuss the danger levels of implements used in a mortuary, homages to classic (and far better) slasher films, and the joys of necrophilia!!

So hope onto the slab, start the incision on the torso, and remember: don't get too scared!
