I'm Glad You Exist

Found Footage. Haunted Asylum. This film writes itself, which is ironic, because the nature of reality tv is that it's supposed to not be scripted!

We just watched Grave Encounters and spend the majority of this episode talking about the medium of found-footage, what themes GE presents (if any) and where a film like this sits within some sort of ranking scale.

SCIENCE itself declared Host the scariest movie ever.

It's a film that takes place entirely on a Zoom call.

Make of those two facts what you will.

We now enter February - Found Footage month!

John and Nyxx are back - this time they're going back in time to the year...2015?! Wait, what?!

If that leading sentence makes no sense to you, it's because this little gem nails a 70's throwback aesthetic so well, you'd be convinced it was a recently rediscovered relic from a bygone era of film... at least until something happens in the basement...

Does this love letter to old school horror stand-up to modern day standards? Find out today!!

Spoiler: This film is bleak as. Topics include suicide, child abuse and religious cults.

When condensed to those features it really makes it seem weird that Nyxx and I love this film so much, but hey, that's horror!

Find out why on today's episode!!

Spooky happenings in this not The Thing homage to The Thing

A movie so creepy it (maybe?) has two titles. Known as both Black Mountain, sometimes with the suffix of 'side', BMS is a low-budget indie movie about The Thing if it had more native spirituality within its frigid landscape.

Continuing our January theme of cold weather, here's a punt on a lesser known movie to keep up the chills in 2023.

Coming out you with one of the best original horror concepts out there. 30 Days of Night is a premise so straightforward yet so brilliant you'll slap your head like Hank Scorpio when the concept of hammocks was presented to him.

This vicious cult-classic vampire romp is a favourite of Nyxx and a new watch for John.

Does the ingenious concept from the graphic novel of the same name outlast the darkness like our cast, or was this one destined to die in the shadows? Listen and find out!

The final film of our December 'best of 2022' round-up.

A perverted picture, one day destined to be a cult-classic.

Arguably hits its high within the first act, but that speaks more for how bloody good the first part of this film is rather than a lack of quality in the latter.

From here we move into our new month of content.

January = WINTER

Films where the weather plays a crucial role in the story. Think cold, bleak, miserable and oppressive.

Keeping things fresh this week with a film of the same name.

Fresh is a delightfully twisted and stylish horror film that further adds to the genre of horror/black comedy. 

Find out though whether this film ends up as a tasty treat or rotten to the core.

Nyxx and John back in the (night) house!

Episode 2 of a end of year recap month is this lil gem of a horror film, featuring quite possibly, the most unwelcome and uncomfortable jump scare I've... ever seen?! Maybe. Find out whether this is a house worth holding onto or if it should be bulldozed and left alone.

Ohhhhhhhh it's a new podcast on IGYE!

I LOVE horror films and after enough in-depth with my friend, Nyxx, I proposed the idea of a podcast where we gush about amazing scary movies.

Thus, Crafting Chills was born!

Each month we'll have a new theme for our film selection. This month, capping off an eventful and especially bountiful year for horror, we're doing a mini 'best of'. From reimagined cult-classics to directorial debuts.
