Spooky Chicks & Horror Flicks

Ghostface is back, and so are we! This week, Emma and Ally are diving into Scream 2 (1997), the sequel that slashed its way into theaters and proved that horror follow-ups don’t have to suck.

With a bigger body count, a college campus setting, and a cast stacked with ‘90s icons, this sequel had audiences guessing (and side-eyeing their cordless phones) all over again. But was it just as good as the original? Some say yes. Some say better. And with a wild production history—including leaked scripts and secret endings—there’s plenty to unpack.

Join the hosts as they break down the rules of horror sequels, the best and worst kills, and why Sidney Prescott remains that final girl. Let’s get stabby!

Dust off your four-leaf clovers and hide your gold because Emma and Ally are covering Leprechaun 2 (1994)!

This sequel takes our favorite pint-sized menace to new heights (or at least new shenanigans), proving that not even a thousand-year-old curse can stop a determined leprechaun from finding love… or murder. But let’s be real—the scariest thing in this movie isn’t the homicidal irishman, it’s the questionable life choices of literally every character involved. Who needs logic when you have whiskey, gold, and a magic wish gone terribly wrong?

Join the hosts as they break down the bonkers plot, the franchise’s evolution so far, and why this film somehow makes St. Patrick’s Day feel just a little more cursed. Grab a drink, avoid any mysterious pots of gold, and tune in—because this Leprechaun is back, and he’s feeling extra murderous.

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.

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"
