Scary Thoughts episodes:

August 02, 2018 Episode 39 - Hereditary (2018)
2018's Hereditary exploded onto the horror scene with a bold, opaque, artistic trailer. We conversate about whether or not trailers are lies, family horror, and the frequency children are being killed in horror movies now. There's also a little bit about free will and demonic gender theory, you know, for the kids.

June 28, 2018 Episode 38 - Only Lovers Left Alive (2013)
Jim Jarmusch's 2013 moody vampire romance Only Lovers Left Alive is all post-rock, ruin porn and untamed hair. Chad and Marc discuss Shakespeare conspiracy theories, urban renewal, how to best wield longevity and, as always, the end of history.

May 25, 2018 Episode 37 - Faking It, Phoebe (2017)

May 14, 2018 Scary Thoughts #36 - Nosferatu the Vampyre (1979) with guest Alexa Fraser-Herron

This episode is about Werner Herzog's 1979 undead flick, Nosferatu the Vampyre. It features special guest Alexa Fraser-Herron. She's a San Francisco based independent filmmaker, who was introduced to Herzog's films by her mother at an early age. It's an unusual and interesting film, the conversation is much the same.

April 30, 2018 Episode 35 - Facebook
This episode, Chad & Marc venture outside the realms of film and fiction to grapple with the very real horrors of social media. Though Lovecraftian in scale and Orwellian in rancor, our hosts take very different positions on whether to slay Zuckerberg's beast or harness its dark energy.

April 09, 2018 Episode 34 - Ouija: Origin of Evil (2016)
2016's Ouija: Origin of Evil made a boatload of money, but it's terrible. It deals in nostalgia, weak jump scares and has a muddled plot. Why do people keep watching movies like this? Why aren't they better? Will anything change, or is horror continuing to split and become a genre that produces a few auteur gems and a ton franchise style crap? We attempt to answer these questions and more, all without the help of a Ouija board of our own.

March 13, 2018 Episode 33 - Scooby Doo
Scooby Doo has been on the air since 1969. Those meddling kids have been in a shocking number of series and movies since then. Is this horror? Is it worth watching? We land on a solid 'maybe' for those questions and more. Join us as we explore everything from the laugh-tracked early episodes to the surprisingly smart, and conspiracy riddled, Mystery Incorporated.

January 30, 2018 Episode 32 - What We Do in the Shadows (2014)
The 2015 New Zealand vampire mockumentary What We Do in the Shadows is all about fangs and foppery. In this episode we uncover rare undead lore, our favorite vampires, and explore the eternal question: what does it mean to become old and uncool?

December 20, 2017 Episode 31 - Krampus (2015)
Since Michael Dougherty's Krampus came out in 2015, the pagan hipster Christmas demon has only grown in popularity. We explore the ancient roots of the anti-Santa, discuss Dougherty's extended universe, and make an unavoidable turn down the road of capitalist critiques of holiday favorites. src="https://html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/6069613/height/360/width/450/theme/standard/autonext/no/thumbnail/yes/autoplay/no/preload/no/no_addthis/no/direction/forward/" height="360" width="450" placement="bottom" theme="standard"

December 14, 2017 Episode 30 - Black Metal
This episode is about the most evil genre of music: Black Metal. We are joined by extreme music authority, Andee Connors. He co-owned the notorious Aquarius Records, curates Pandora's unholy Black Metal station and creates infernal music as a member of A Minor Forest and Common Eider, King Eider. We invoke blasphemous critical theory, the abysmal history of youth movements and the odorous politics of several necrotic musical personalities.
