What happens when you put a group of bored, white, rich kids in a room together and tell them to play a game? You get the 2005 film, Cry_Wolf.

What starts as a competitive lying game between some private school friends, quickly spirals into a campus-wide attempt to make the student body believe that there is a serial killer on the loose. But what happens when people actually start ending up dead and missing? Has one of these high schoolers taken things too far? Or have they summoned the wrath of an actual homicidal maniac?

Listen in as Pete breaks down yet ANOTHER early 2000's horror film starring Jared Padalecki. This one was another slog for Pete, but Sarah delights in hearing all about it.

Join us in the circle, and bring your best poker face. And remember: don't get too scared!

This week on Fearless Films, in celebration of the start of the school year, we are talking about the late 90's teen horror flick, Disturbing Behavior.

Pete breaks down this story of a boy and his family moving to a small island town in Washington state. He quickly discovers that something isn't quite right with the popular kids at the high school. He goes on to uncover a conspiracy to "make the kids better" through nefarious means. Only him and his misfit friends can save the town (or burn it all down)!

Sarah reacts to the fact that this is basically just an extended episode of the X-Files (featuring key players from the show both in front of and behind the camera), the hilariously bad "slang" used by the teenage characters, and the outdated depictions of... well, just about everything.

She also gets concerned about Pete's blood pressure, when he begins to rant and rave about the horrors of studio interference. Prepare yourselves for a deep dive on the behind the scenes story of this film, and how test screenings and meddling producers took a great script and turned it into a mediocre Scream knockoff.

Grab a seat, open your notebooks and remember: don't get too scared!

This week on Fearless Films, we present a spooky tale of forensic science, 2016's The Autopsy of Jane Doe!

Sarah breaks down this story of a father/son team of coroners who are delivered the body of a young woman who is dead, but has no apparent signs of how she died. As you would expect, unexplainable, haunting-like phenomena begins to occur, and the characters lives are quickly in danger.

Highlights include Pete's reaction to the characters decision to never leave, his fear over the fate of the pet cat, and lessons in history and botany. Also, of course, the very graphic autopsy of a dead body that rivals even Saw 3.

Join us for this scary medical procedure, and remember: don't get too scared!

This week on Fearless Films, we take a road trip through Australia and end up in the most dangerous place in the Outback: Wolf Creek!

This stranger-danger horror film from 2005 features a group of backpackers falling prey to a serial killer outdoorsman who just wants to have a good time.

Pete lays out the plot for this movie he has just watched for the first time. To his surprise, it is an early 2000's torture porn film that he actually enjoyed!

Sarah is shocked by this revelation, and also by the horrors that unfold in this adrenaline pumping tale of survival.

Join us as we uncover just what makes this movie so special that Pete actually enjoyed a 2000's flick. And as always, don't get too scared...

This week we are going over the 2005 film, The Exorcism of Emily Rose!

Sarah breaks down this horror/courtroom drama, which portrays a lawyer taking on a negligent homicide case after a young woman dies following an attempted exorcism. The performing priest is on trial, and its up to the lawyer to help him avoid a lengthy jail sentence. But he insists on pleading not guilty, creating a battle to prove whether or not Emily Rose was truly possessed or not.

Pete marvels at the creepy possession scenes, and shares his thoughts on the plot based on his minor Justice education. There is a equal discussion on both horror themes and courtroom procedure.

Join us for this thrilling horror/drama, and remember... don't get too scared!

When a group of college friends rent a cabin in the woods for a vacation retreat, they encounter a deadly flesh eating, blood puking disease that literally tears them apart. Join us as we talk about one of the most WTF horror movies of the 2000's.

Spin-kicking karate kids, dangerous hillbillies, Sean Hunter from Boy Meets World, and Pancakes await you in this messed up tale of paranoia and necrotized flesh.

So grab a barf bag and remember, don't get too scared...

What happens when you take a director known only for dramadies and have them helm a found-footage horror flick? You get The Bay!

The Bay is a mockumentary from Barry Levinson (Diner, Good Morning Vietnam, Rain Man) and follows the story of a small coastal town that is devastated by a plague of parasitic isopods that have mutated due to illegal dumping in the waters. The crux of the plot follows an intrepid journalist trying to crack open the US government's attempts to cover up the incident.

This is a favorite of Pete's, and he felt it the next best 4th of July horror film after Jaws. The similar setting and aquatic menace certainly help keep up the theme.

The fun twist is this: he had Sarah watch it and deliver the rundown, even though she hates bugs and is skeeved out by the movie. Pete is not very nice.

So join us as we talk found footage, bloody lesions, and dumb husbands, but remember: don't get too scared!

This is Pete's birthday week, so he's come prepared with one of his favorite horror movies: Tales from the Crypt presents: Demon Knight.

Watch William Sadler on a mission from God to keep safe a magical artifact from the clutches of the delightfully evil Billy Zane. This story is the big screen debut of the hit show, Tales from the Crypt, which ran for seven seasons throughout the 1990's.

The Crypt-Keeper of the title is an undead puppet that tells horror stories to the audience. The stories are often bloody, and always horny. In 1995, the creators expanded their scope and produced Demon Knight, which was planned to be the first of a trilogy of spin-off theatrical movies. Poor box office stopped that plan from panning out, but Pete still loves this film.

Featuring: a house full of people trapped by a swarm of demons, the blood of Christ blowing up evil people, CCH Pounder being her usual badass self, and Billy Zane having the time of his life playing a bad guy.

So grab a seat and listen to the Crypt Keeper's tale, and remember: don't get too scared.

A young priest and an old priest travel to a European church to talk to some nuns. It's not quite The Exorcist, but its got its moments. This week's movie is 2018's The Nun, a spinoff in The Conjuring universe.

Sarah breaks down this tale of a Vatican investigation of the death of a young nun in a remote Romanian church. A demonic force plays with reality and tries to kill our holy heroes, all while trying to escape its imprisonment.

Pete notices a lot of similarities to Tales from the Crypt: Demon Knight (a holy relic filled with the blood of Christ!), and is mostly impressed that he is actually interested in seeing this movie, after not really digging the Conjuring movies or Annabelle.

Join us as we get down with the G-men (and women) of the Catholic church, and remember: don't get too scared!
