The Duffer Brothers, who we still want to be when we grow up, have blessed the world with another season of Stranger Things, which means it's time for us to revisit the series! This episode we get into the most important topics, like #HopperDadGoals, whether the middle-aged women checking out Billy subplot was worth anybody's time, and that #MindFlayersCanBeWomenToo (#feminism).

We talk the classic children's books/the new film Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, as well as discussing the disappointment of a movie not living up to its trailer, whether the film would have been better as an anthology, and debating about if this book series is better or if Goosebumps is.

This episode we take a detour from our usual talk of scary movies to talk about some of the funniest vampires ever filmed in the mockumentary horror comedy movie What We Do In The Shadows, then dig into its spin-off FX TV series. We also introduce a new segment (Staying Spooky), take some horror-themed online quizzes, and endure Max's pneumonia/demonically-possessed voice throughout the whole episode.

Surprising exactly nobody who has listened to our back catalog, we went to an opening night showing of Ari Aster's Midsommar. And then, because a combination of holidays and life and having another episode already in the chamber to be released, we had a little time to chew over our thoughts about the film. So dive in and find out the answer to the biggest question you probably have about the film: do Max and Nathaniel love Midsommar as much as Hereditary?

In this very special episode we combine forces with Charlie Conlon to create both a new episode of Scream Kings and Knowing My Nightmares! We discuss the terrifying real-life phenomenon of sleep paralysis that plagues both Charlie and Max, as well as The Nightmare, a documentary film that recreates the experiences of several sleep paralysis sufferers.

Log into Shudder and get ready to binge-watch, we're back with a new episode about an entire season of a TV series. We talk Channel Zero's first season, Candle Cove, as well as the creepypasta that inspired it. We also rant a bit about trying to keep high-quality horror as prevalent as the popcorn-y stuff.

This episode we talk with special guest Ben Rock about the Shudder-original podcast he directed and co-wrote, Video Palace. Which scared the hell out of both your hosts. We also talk about other amazing things he's worked on, like The Blair Witch Project and his web series 20 Seconds to Die.

This week we're joined by horror writer Rachel Smith who shares a tale that chills to the bone-- her real-life story of living in a haunted house in Ephraim, Utah. Max immediately goes into demonologist-sleuth mode, and Nathaniel shares a much-less spooky story about watching The Exorcism of Emily Rose.

Make sure to check out our Twitter feed for some images and a video clip showing some of the locations and some supernatural movement that is referenced in the story.
