Getting Scarried Away

(Trigger warnings below surrounding the film The Nightingale - to skip this section, jump from the 28:00 mark to the 31:50 mark). This week, we're joined by Raphael A. Santos as we discuss horror for anxiety. We get into the value of the horror genre in Raphael's mental health journey. We are so grateful that Raphael shared his experiences with us. He picked a few films to dive deeper into, and we just LOVE his choices! Films/shows that we touch on include:

-The Babadook

(TW for sexual assault, child violence, loss of a child, abuse)

This week, we sit down with Eric Striffler (Pretty Much It, Existence Media) to discuss haunted attractions in the Halloween season. We learn about his personal experiences running his own attraction and how it developed over the years into something truly special and innovative. As we all continue to adapt to a "new normal" we discuss what attractions we hope to see adapt in their own way for a safe audience experience. We are also joined later in the episode by former scare actress Carmella Losi. She recounts some of her encounters in the field and how they impacted her desire to return to the business. This episode was an absolute blast to record, and we give our sincere thanks to Eric and Carmella for joining us! Support PRETTY MUCH IT at the links below!

This week, we're joined by Actress and horror expert, Marni Stone. She joins us via zoom from her home in California. In this two-parter, we dig into the 90’s teen slasher cycle in all it’s meta-glory. We discuss the Scream series, Wes Craven's New Nightmare, Urban Legend, I Know What You Did Last Summer, and several other teen slasher films of the time. We had such a wonderful time talking with Marni and we learned so much about this amazing decade in horror history. We hope you enjoy!

Released in 2012, Scott Derrickson's SINSTER put a new twist on horror with this paranormal/slasher/true-crime/found footage hybrid. Starring Ethan Hawke as true-crime writer Ellison Oswald, this film blends different elements of the horror genre to create something fresh and completely unique. Join us as we dig into some trivia behind the film's gruesome kills, what we loved/didn't quite love, and whether or not we felt this film needed a sequel. Enjoy!
