Grab your cursed VHS tapes and prepare to ruin your entire week because Emma and Ally are covering, The Ring (2002)! 

This early 2000s horror classic had millennials terrified of their own televisions and second-guessing every static screen. But beyond the creepy girl in the well and that infamous seven-day deadline, let’s talk about the real horror here, bad parenting. Naomi Watts’ character is out here chasing urban legends, letting her kid roam around unsupervised, and somehow acting surprised when things go horribly wrong.

Join the hosts as they break down the creepy VHS tape itself, the film’s lasting impact, and the fantastic marketing for this film. Watch the tape, spread the curse, and tune in—if you dare.

Ghoul gang, this one’s a special treat! We sat down with one of our favorite spooky queens, Amby Scissorhands, for a killer mini-sode recorded live during her annual Instagram live giveaway extravaganza!

We asked her all about how she got started with her business, where her love of horror and all things spooky began, and so much more. From her favorite slashers to the wildest moments of the giveaway, this episode was packed with eerie fun—so bear with us on the audio (and the occasional scream of excitement).

Grab your nearest severed hand (or just a cozy drink) and tune in for this frightfully fun chat with the one and only Amby Scissorhands! 🎃🔪👻

This week, Emma and Ally sip from the fountain of fabulous and dive into the body horror comedy, Death Becomes Her (1992). A film where vanity, immortality, and complete bodily destruction go hand in hand—literally. Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn serve drama, comedy, and campy horror perfection, while Bruce Willis plays the most stressed-out plastic surgeon of all time.

Join the hosts as they break down reanimated corpses with impeccable fashion sense, the price of eternal youth, and whether they’d take the mysterious potion themselves. Grab your best red dress (or a can of spray paint for touch-ups) and tune in—because some things do last forever, and this movie’s legacy is one of them.

Grab your typewriter and watch your ankles!
This week, Emma and Ally tackle the snowy nightmare of Misery (1990). They jump into Stephen King’s chilling tale of obsession, where a stranded writer and his biggest fan redefine toxic relationships. Showcasing Kathy Bates’ Oscar-winning performance as the unhinged Annie Wilkes and James Caan’s portrayal of a man who just wanted to write his way out of trouble, this movie is a masterclass in tension.

You'll want to join the hosts on this one. Because you know what they say.. "Misery Loves Company"

It’s a full moon in Tarker’s Mills, and things are getting hairy—but not just because of the werewolf. This week, Emma is joined by The Producer, who’s filling in for Ally (don’t worry, she’s safe… for now).
Together, they sink their teeth into Silver Bullet (1985), a wild Stephen King adaptation where the biggest threat might actually be the town’s blood-alcohol content. Seriously, is everyone in this town drunk?

Howl with us through this fur-tastic episode. It’s Silver Bullet season, and things are about to get wild.
