Horror and a Half

Heads up: Rose's audio is not great in this ep, but I think it's still listenable.

We're kicking off October with multiple Universal monsters (...sort of), the start of another project, an unlikely place to find the Vietnam War, and chatting a bit about Resident Evil. Then we're off to evil tennis academy for Bloody Tennis! Eat your treat and join us for the myth of cat gut, foot wounds, gross red drink, and how well other fictional athletes would do at an evil tennis academy.

Fall is finally here (ish), which means we have a lot to talk about! Or, you know, we just do our normal thing, one or the other. Kelly has the last serious Universal monster mash and pitches Rose on watching the new Resident Evil, while Rose is watching a certified horror classic and also dog stars and French films. Then we're talking Psycho III, a real weird picture about some real weird guys! Join us for dramatic nuns, baffling use of lamps during sex, and always and forever feeling for Norman Bates.

Halloween season is starting to kick off! You can tell, because we chat about our recent trip to Halloween Horror Nights (along with a killer mascot and another boring mummy). Then! We go to late aughts Australia to talk about Lake Mungo! Join us for spirit photography, the ethics of psychics, and the hotness of actor dads.

Kelly has some tales of scary solitaire, monster mashes, and evil tapes, while Rose has returned to both a not-so-scary Halloween party AND Silent Hill - how's that for range? Then we take ourselves to an abandoned sleepaway camp to discuss Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma! Join us as we discuss engaging with slasher movies, pitch meetings that go perfectly, and so much gummy candy. The thing you need to know is: there's a hole at the bottom of the lake where the podcasts come out...

We've got slasher reveals and bad governesses and boring ass mummy movies, and then we have: the sea! That's right, we're talking Dead Calm, so get ready for competent boatsmanship, how one couple can have such bad luck, and one of the least helpful dogs in cinema history.

(And sorry we kept calling Sam Neill Australian.)

Get ready for a weird one! Well, the beginning's normal, we're talking invisible men and the end of that Burbs tv show, but the main topic is a local event we attended: a 5th anniversary celebration here in St. Pete called the Summer Slasher Slumber Party! Settle in for a late night marathon with us as we discuss the surprising storyline, the skits, the programming errors, and talk about The Slumber Party Massacre, Pieces, and Friday the 13th 6!

We're checking in with Martha's Vineyard, before moving on to New Orleans (vampires), the Caribbean (zombies), the internet (uh... ghosts?), and where ever a hungry baby might live. Then it's time for a chill family hang with Evil Dead Burn! Join us for all the stabbings you could want as we discuss missable Easter eggs, kicking your son around like a soccer ball, and breakthrough in deadite-based dementia treatments.

We hit a double dose of conversion therapy horror this time, so, uh, whoops? We also talk about a Technicolor Phantom and tease some killer farm animals, so hopefully you're pleased. Then we're heading back to a franchise we haven't watched in a bit and checking in on The Forever Purge! How's that purging going? That bad, huh??? Join us as we tame a horse, split up a lot, and fail to learn many characters' names, and yet in spite of everything we are forced to ask: is The Forever Purge the most prescient movie of all time?

Some monsters meet, some ghosts haunt, some assassins fight, and we spend a possibly silly amount of time discussing, you guessed it, A Christmas Carol. Then we're smearing blood on our computers and vlogging for no one as we discuss We're All Going to the World's Fair! Navigate to video.com with us as we film a dumbass waterfall, ponder the life of a grown creep, and find time to argue about whether one of us has Empty Man'd the other.

Quick question, friends: which host do you think has standing cannibal plans? You'll find out, and fast, on this episode! Then we're chatting for a bit about mummies in the 1970s, a pack of undifferentiated psychic dudes, queer Beetlejuice, and poor Rebecca, who definitely died tripping over a pile of rope. Then we head to remake town to watch Cat People! Join us in a depressingly outdated zoo as we discuss ladder stunts,  arm ripping, and poorly pitched incest plans.
