Horror Babes

Welcome welcome welcome to our very special episode on The Omen (1976). We promise it's not the terrible remake. We're talking shocking deaths, classic film-making and demon children this week!

Obviously, it's a 40-some year old movie so there's SPOILERS ya fools. Romeo and Juliet also both die at the end. Idk.

More importantly, we wanna throw a CW/TW in for anyone who's dealing with self-harm. There's a good amount of it in here and we love you all.

Yoooo!! We are talking about Topher's #2 horror film of all time this week! Get ready for a fun ride of penises, vaginas and all-around body horror mixed with a healthy dose of sci-fi and slasher horror. To be clear, we're talking about Alien (1979).

Just so we're clear, this film is 41 years old, so there's SPOILERS! DUH!

Oh no there's a terrifying man in a weird wolf mask! That's right y'all - we covered the contemporary classic Creep this week. We hope you love everything about this movie as much as we do.

ALSO!! We have a theme song now! Our incredible producer friend Seth Hachen (@_chef_seth_ on the gram) cooked up a fire beat for us!!

CW/TW: there is some talk of assault in this episode because of the plot. We love y'all and want you to be safe.

And, of course, there's SPOILERS. Duh.

We finally did it! We covered SAW (2004). It was a journey, but we came out the other end with a deeper appreciation for the filmmakers. Join us for the trip of a lifetime we should have appreciated more. LET'S PLAY A GAME.

Like, duh, there's SPOILERS here. This movie is 16 years old.

Horror or Nah is BACK y'all!! We're discussing Darren Stein's cult classic Jawbreaker (1999) and queer horror camp. Nicole Leigh Hood is back as a guest this week to talk about whether or not we have a horror film on our hands! Kick back and enjoy.

Heads up, there's SPOILERS for this 21 year old film. Buy it a beer already!!

Y'all - we really hope we didn't curse you with this one, but you might only have seven days to live after listening to this episode. We took all the precautions we could think to, but honestly there's just no guarantee. Y'know why? Because we're talking about the Japanese horror classic Ring (aka Ringu, 1998) this week! We're talking about terrible fathers, technophobia, and creepy ladies.

Naturally, there's SPOILERS here. Just get over it.

Also, because we love you, there is TW/CW for some talk of self-harm.

What up babes? We’re here to discuss a classic movie that could’ve mostly been solved by building a damn fence and yeeting a toddler. That’s right, it’s our first Stephen King adaptation: Mary Lambert’s 1989 Pet Sematary. We’re talking extraneous subplots, Herman Munster and placating neckbeards this week.

First off, there’s SPOILERS in this movie that’s older than either of us. Second, and more importantly, we wanna throw in a CW for discussion of self-harm.

We do our research, so here’s a lil footnote for y’all.

It's time for another episode of Horror Babes y'all!! We're diving into the definitely 100% true not-faked-at-all story of three American film students who were lost in the woods and killed by a witch. That's right - we're finally doing The Blair Witch Project (1999). We're talking production nightmares, legacy and why everyone but us is wrong.

This film is almost legal to drink and buy cigarettes, so there's gonna be SPOILERS in like the first five minutes. This movie grew up. You can too.

It's spooky. It's scary. It's a House with a Devil? Nicole and Topher are living for this lover letter to 70s-80s low-budget horror. You want a slasher? It's got you. You want a spoopy house? It's got you too. This week is all about Ti West's 2009 homage to low-budget from one of our favorite eras of film.

TW/CW: self-harm

Also, we know this movie is eleven years old but we love you so just know there's SPOILERS in this movie review podcast. We like talking about plots or whatever.

We decided to finally take on a lesser-known classic with Peter Medak's Saturn Award nominated The Changeling (1980). We're of course discussing the plot and technical aspects, but we also go into the true story behind this haunted house tale and the folk lore that inspired its framing.

You should know that since this movie is 40 years old, there's gonna be SPOILERS in here.
