Squad Ghouls - A Horror Podcast

In this episode we review the new psychological thriller "You Should Have Left" starring Kevin Bacon and Amanda Seyfried. It's the perfect mix of spooky ghosts and psychological horror. Have you seen it yet? What did you think?

Do you believe in cryptids? In this episode we discuss the Jersey Devil, the Loch Ness Monster, the Black Shuck, and the Yeti. These creatures have been spotted for centuries, but no one has managed to capture definitive evidence that they exist. You be the judge after we discuss some of these sightings.

Do you believe that film sets can be cursed? We do! In this episode, we discuss and review the Shudder series "Cursed Films." We also include some additional interesting bits of info that weren't included in the series. So, are these sets really cursed? You be the judge.

Who doesn't love a good fairy tale? Everyone loves a happy ending, however most of our beloved fairy tales didn't end well for all of the characters in the story. In this episode, we discuss two of the most popular fairy tale anthologists, Hans Christian Andersen and the Brothers Grimm. We'll give you their back stories as well as the true endings of some of their most popular fairy tales.

Welcome to our three part series discussing our favorite kiddo Halloween films. To kick it off, we picked the Haunted Mansion, Paranorman, Monster House, and Monster Squad. We'll discuss some fun facts and what makes these films perfect for kids. 

Everyone loves a "final girl." You know, the only one that obeys the rules of the horror film and survives until the end. She's brave, she doesn't go down to the basement, she doesn't get any 'action' per say, and she's tougher than you think. While we weren't super thrilled with this one, it's a quick read and jam packed with 70s/80s slasher nostalgia. 

Hopefully you've heard about this sleeper, but The Rental is a fresh take on a classic home invasion story. We had the chance to see it at our local drive-in, and we weren't disappointed in our experience. 

By special request from one of our listeners, we thought we would share some of our favorite spots to buy Halloween decorations, which are basically just house decorations for us. We'll talk party decor, dishes, animatronics, towels, tablecloths, clothes, art, and anything else you could need. Some of these we're sure that you'll know, but some may come as a surprise. We included a few retailers for our listeners in the UK and Canada as well. 

If you haven't seen the 1990 miniseries or the 2017/2019 remakes, you may live under a rock, but that's ok! In this episode, we discuss these iconic films, the casts, and a few other tidbits you may not have known about either version. Are you team Tim Curry as Pennywise? Or Bill Skarsgard? We were a split decision. 

We're making a list of haunted places that we'll be visiting when Americans are allowed to leave the country again, and Edinburgh is at the top of our list! This episode was really fun to put together, and some of the places we talk about really creeped us out. From Queen Mary's Close, to the Vaults, to body snatching, we really only scratched the surface of the fun, haunted things to do and see in this town.
