Night Howls

They're here! You're next! 

This week, Cody and Matt visit the beautiful Santa Mira to find that not everything is what it seems. They discuss the simmering underbelly of suburbia, the age of paranoia, and the legendary Hollywood witch hunt that may or may not have directly inspired this film. They also talk television royalty, Uncle Ira's 10x10 plot of land, and the missed opportunity of not casting Lucille Ball and Vivian Vance. That derailment alone proves that the boys aren't pod people... yet.

So take a drive down the suspiciously jammed highway with us... but watch out for the screaming man along the shoulder of the road.

Duncan's Podcast: DIDN'T I BLOW YOUR MIND: @didntiblowyourmind

Don't you ever laugh as the hearse goes by
for you may be the next to die-

Welcome to our Scary Podcast to Listen to in the Dark! This week, the boys crack open one of their favorite tomes of terror to reconnect with their old friends: Harold the scarecrow, Toe Lady the. . . toe lady, and The Jangly Man! They discuss the massive impact of the iconic book series and how this adaptation sizes up to that legacy. They also talk unsurprising Night of the Living Dead stock footage, the dangers of lead paint, and why the town seems to genuinely miss their finest bully.

As an added obstacle, in honor of the first "children's horror" entry in the Night Howls canon, Matt and Cody try their best to keep the discussion G-rated. Do they succeed? Well, there's a reason this episode is still labeled "explicit." 

Hang on to your Schwartz, it's going to be a spooky ride!

Roses are red, violets are blue, Matt lost his mind, and Cody did too!

This week, in honor of Valentine's Day, Matt and Cody send themselves a sweet note in the form of this slasher classic. They drive a pickaxe through effective slasher tropes, less effective gender stereotypes, and a few of the greatest Veteran Character Actor nominees seen on this program. Not to mention insufferable class clowns, scary tunnel banging, and if a mining outfit is really the most useful for a killing spree. 

So put your heart on the line...or in a box...and join the boys for what is sure to be a dance unlike any other.

On this pod... On this pod...

It's a special bonus episode for what just might be the most anticipated indie horror of the year!

They also talk possible theories as to what exactly is going on and the inevitable musical adaptation that everyone is absolutely asking for.

Who you callin' schmucko?

Shuffle your decks, practice your sleight of hand, and prepare the puppet for this staple in the doll horror sub-genre. This week, Cody and Matt discuss the blood, sweat and... sweat of Anthony Hopkins' performance, psychological setups that stimulate the senses, and the dark side of showbiz. They also talk Ann-Margret's star power, comically large cigars, and harmonica cues that just won't quit.

Kick back with Fats as the boys try to figure out just which one of them is the dummy on this show (spoiler: it's both of them) and where this charming chucklehead ranks in the pantheon of spooky dolls.

Alright, best behavior, everyone! We have company!

This week, the boys are joined by the star of A Wounded Fawn, Sarah Lind, to discuss one of the hottest horrors of last year! They go deep into analysis of the film, the surrealism of it's themes, and even get juicy behind the scenes info on the process of it's creation. Don't worry, they also talk fine art, giant owls, suspicious red flags, and that epic conclusion.

It's going to be a HOOT! And even Sarah says the show is "not janky at all!" Can you believe that? The boys certainly can't!

Make sure you check out A Wounded Fawn, now on Shudder, before listening! Spoilers ahead (as always)!
