Haunted Homebodies

Welcome back to another MONSTER-SODE and our first LIVE IN-PERSON recording! This is an extra special episode because today we are watching a total blast from our past and the first movie that we know that we watched together as tweens. Today we are talking about the 2002 live action movie: Scooby Doo!

This episode is a little different because: one, we intro the episode with insight into how non-discerning we are about adult beverages, and two, we recorded our live reactions while watching together (and trying not to fall asleep). It’s a bit chaotic, a bit zany, very much like the Scooby himself. Also catch the blink-and-you’ll miss it cameo from Ashley’s parents dogs, Tallulah and Raylan (video and voiceover cred: Clark Drake). Enjoy?

Every day, once a day, give yourself a present. And today, let that present be this episode where we just scratch the surface of Sara’s favorite show, Twin Peaks! This will be a fully spoiler free episode with the exception of the pilot, so if you haven’t watched it yet, you can still join us while we discuss one of the greatest television characters of all time (Kyle MacLachlan’s Special Agent Dale Cooper), the genius of David Lynch, and if anyone knows what the real meaning of Twin Peaks is (but Sara has a theory).

Wow, this one is a bit of a doozy–hope you are ready to hang out with us for awhile! Today we are chatting  about the 1997 summer slasher, I Know What You Did Last Summer! Tune in to hear Sara’s thoughts as a first-time-watcher, after somehow managing to avoid this film until now. With high school crushes aplenty, gaping plot holes, and a surprisingly fun boat chase scene, we have a crab’s worth to say about this one.

For the paranormal segment, we explore one of the most haunted lighthouses in the world, the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, located in North Carolina’s Outer Banks. We have never been more charmed by a haunted place–I mean does it get any better than a ghost cat??

Welcome back to Haunted Homebodies! The podcast with cozy ghostie vibes, a hint of horror, and a heavy dose of nostalgia. Today’s episode is our first LITTLE TERROR- A bite-sized version of our usual podcast format. Yum! 

For our first LT, we are chatting about what we think is the greatest episode of Boy Meets World of all time– And Then There Was Shawn.  We’ll talk about the fun, dampened-down meta slasher vibes and, of course, the wholesome life lesson– because would it really be a Boy Meets World episode without that?

Does Sara dislike today’s movie because it’s… good? Today, we are digging into the 1990 creature feature for the ages– Tremors! From the western vibes to Reba’s first acting role (she’s great in this!), we are going deep for this awesome addition to Kevin Bacon's filmography.

In today’s paranormal segment, Ashley shares all about the creepy, crawly cryptid known as the Mongolian Death Worm, said to haunt the Gobi Desert.

Happy 50th Anniversary, Jaws! Join us in celebrating one of the greatest films of all time, and one of our favorite summer watches. From the New England coastal vibes to the lovable villain, Bruce the shark, we talk about our favorite moments, characters, and, of course, the cozy horror vibes. 

For today’s paranormal story, Ashley shares the story of Shark Alpha, who was tagged for research before being attacked and killed by what was dubbed by filmmakers as some kind of “super predator.” Was it a giant squid? A pack of orcas? Or some kind of unknown deadly sea creature from the depths of the ocean?
