Scaredy Cats

Hi Scaredy Cats! Join us as we talk home invasion horror and tackle The Strangers and The Strangers: Prey at Night. We chat about true crime, what protagonist truly bothers us, and delve into why home invasion movies just hit a little differently.

We're going all the way back to the third episode of Scaredy Cats to see if The Descent is still an all-time favourite for both of us. Spoiler alert, it is.

Join us as we chat about fan theories, female rage and the little details we picked up on our latest rewatch. Just stay out of the caves, okay?

Hey Scaredy Cats! Join us as we chat about some of our favourite horror video games. We go way back to discuss classic gems like Silent Hill 2 and Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem before covering more recent scarefests like Forewarned and Phasmophobia.

We're baaaack!! (Insert creepy music here)

Join us, Ryan and Sherri, as we talk about the future of the podcast and, because it's been a hot minute, chat about some of the movies, shows, games, and books we've enjoyed over the last year(ish)

Join us in the Haunted Library as we chat with author Nat Segaloff about his latest book, The Exorcist Legacy: 50 Years of Fear. Segaloff's history with the film go way to the film's release when he worked publicity for the Boston theatre that screened it. 

As The Exorcist turns 50, Segaloff tackles the origin behind William Peter Blatty's book, the film and all that follows. The Exorcist Legacy: 50 Years of Fear comes out on July 25th and you can find Nat Segaloff at http://www.natsegaloff.com.

Hey Scaredy Cats. For the longest time, I had one movie on my to watch list that was my white whale. I had seen it lauded as one of the scariest movies ever and the best horror movie you’ve never seen. I was on the hunt. It wasn’t streaming anywhere in Canada and I had resigned myself to never seeing it. But then I saw an announcement on Twitter that it was being released on blu ray by Second Sight Films. So, of course, I preordered it and paid an obscene amount of money for a movie I had never watched, assuming that internet listicles were not lying to me and that it was indeed an incredible film. That film was Lake Mungo. And let me tell you that even though it was not what I was expecting, this 2008 Australian film had a huge impact on me. 

I’m your host Sherri and this is just your friendly reminder that as always there will be loads of spoilers, so if you haven’t seen the movie, go watch it! Otherwise, proceed at your own risk. 

 Joining us today to talk about grief, guilt, and isolation are Derek and Jamie.

Hey Scaredy Cats. Welcome back to the month of camp carnage. I know, I know, no one goes to camp in January, but when you’re stuck in the frozen tundra that is Ontario in the winter, you gotta do what you gotta do. As a kid growing up in the eighties, slashers were all the rage. Some of the first horror movies I saw were eighties slashers. So, I definitely have a soft spot for them and the more ridiculous the better. When I heard that there was a love letter to the subgenre with a soft marshmallow centre, I knew it was the kind of movie that I needed in my life. Did I mention that I listened to Bette Davis Eyes on repeat back in the day? Ok, so you couldn’t exactly listen to something on repeat back then. You had two options. You either made a tape with just that song on it OR you would take a couple of minutes, rewind and play again. But I digress. Let’s head to Camp Blue Finch and meet some new camp counsellors and the menacing killer who’s going to ruin all the sexy times and fun. It’s time to meet THE FINAL GIRLS.

In 1978, one of the greatest horror movie franchises was born. Only two years later, another one would enter the world of horror, but weirdly enough, the villain that we associate with that franchise was really just another victim in the first installment. This swerve is so famous that it even became part of another horror movie franchise, when Ghostface first asked Casey Becker, who was the killer in the first Friday the 13th movie. So, how did the franchise that would see 10 sequels, video games, comic books, a tv series and countless fan films start? Let’s head to Camp Crystal Lake and find out!

Hey Scaredy Cats. It’s Christmas time and we’re about to head to Kingston Falls to spend time with family, friends and furry little creatures. So, stock up on some Bathroom Buddies – they’re fantastic stocking stuffers! We’re going to make some gingerbread people, get a Christmas tree from a very young Corey Feldman and watch a late night screening of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. Just a word of warning, Kingston Falls may not be as idyllic as it first appears. It’s time to get festive, so grab your eggnog, turn down the lights as we chat about the 1984 smash, Gremlins. 

I’m your host Sherri and this is just your friendly reminder that as always there will be loads of spoilers, so if you haven’t seen the movie, go watch it! Otherwise, proceed at your own risk.  Joining us to chat about the Joe Dante classic are Enola, Hub and Steve.

Hey Scaredy Cats. I still remember when I found out that Santa wasn’t real. I’m going to peel back the curtain a little bit here and admit one of my embarrassing secrets. I was in grade seven, standing in line for French class. A bunch of my classmates were making fun of me for believing in Santa because generally by the age of eleven you know the truth. But not me. Whether I was just incredibly naïve or my parents were just really good liars, or a bit of both, I still believed. To this day, one of my favourite teacher was that French teacher, Mr. Ikasala, because he came out of the classroom, overheard what was happening and said that he still believed in Santa Claus. I knew then that he was just trying to make me feel better, but it meant a lot. The illusion may have been destroyed, but I didn’t become a Christmas obsessed and homicidal Santa. The same can’t be said for the main character in the 1980 film, Christmas Evil, which incidentally, is John Waters’ favourite Christmas movie.
