Get ready for some glorious 80s Halloween madness as Laura and Phil take a look at Night of the Demons (1988)!

A group of high school students decide to throw a Halloween party in an isolated funeral parlor — because apparently that seemed like a perfectly sensible idea! Things take a turn when a séance accidentally releases a demon from the crematorium, and the partygoers start getting possessed one by one.

We dive into all the spooky 80s goodness, from classic horror tropes and outrageous fashion to fabulous hairstyles, nudity, unexpected twists and a wonderfully diverse cast. We also chat about Judy’s reluctance to attend Angela’s party, Suzanne’s very unusual lipstick hiding place, and plenty of other wonderfully bonkers moments.

So grab your popcorn and join us for some classic 80s demonic mayhem.

Welcome to The Horror Project Podcast!

This week, Laura and Phil dive into Sinister (2012) — creepy Super 8 films, a very bad house move, and one seriously unsettling demon.

We follow true-crime writer Ellison Oswalt as he moves his family into a murder house and discovers a box of disturbing home movies. Naturally, he decides to investigate rather than run for his life. Sensible!

We’re talking Bughuul, creepy kids, grim Super 8 footage, Ellison’s questionable decision-making, and whether Sinister really deserves its reputation as one of horror’s scariest films.

Grab your popcorn, turn down the lights, and join us for another gloriously creepy trip into horror.

Thanks for listening!

Welcome back to The Horror Project Podcast!

This September, Laura and Phil embrace a glorious “So Bad, It’s Good” theme with our Listener’s Choice pick: Phantom of the Mall: Eric’s Revenge (1989), chosen by @deweypodmonster aka John!

A year after a young man seemingly dies in a suspicious house fire while saving his girlfriend, Melody, a shiny new mall rises from the ashes. Then, naturally, the thefts and murders begin… and a mysterious figure starts lurking in the shadows, keeping a very creepy eye on Melody.

But is this film actually bad, or is it just ridiculously good fun?

We’re loving the 1980s mall setting, the outrageous fashion and hairstyles, and Eric’s frankly impressive skill set: ninja, bomb maker, marksman and cobra wrangler. We dig into the twists, turns, pervy security guards, fucked-up ice cream and corrupt mall owners along the way.

So grab your shopping bags and join us for a trip to the mall where the fashion is questionable and the murder rate is high!

Thanks for listening!

This week, hosts Laura and Phil dive into Verónica (2017) — the chilling tale of a 15-year-old girl in 1991 Madrid who, after a solar eclipse and a disastrous Ouija-board séance meant to contact her late father, unintentionally unleashes a malevolent force upon her home. As terrifying visions, violence, and escalating supernatural chaos unfold, Verónica is forced to confront the demon threatening her family.

Join us as we break down the classic “Ouija board gone wrong” formula (seriously… do they ever go right?), share stories from our own ghost-hunting adventures, and debate whether Verónica is truly being haunted — or if something more psychological is at play.

And of course, we gush over the real scene-stealer: Antoñito, arguably the greatest kid in horror history.

Thanks for listening!

Welcome back to The Horror Project Podcast!

This time, Laura and Phil are heading back to Elm Street for, A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge (1985) — because apparently Freddy wasn’t finished with us yet!

We’re following Jesse as he battles Freddy, who has plans to take over Jesse’s body and bring his nightmare reign into the real world. No pressure, Jesse!

We’ll be chatting about the FX, the homoerotic subtext, Jesse and Lisa, that enormous tongue, and our that trip to the bar with Coach Schneider.

Plus, we’ll dive into those wonderfully weird nightmare sequences and that gloriously 80s pool party!

Thanks for listening — and remember…

"You are all my children now".

Welcome to The Horror Project Podcast! Join Laura and Phil as they sink their teeth into Jennifer’s Body (2009).

When cheerleader Jennifer Check is sacrificed to Satan by a struggling indie rock band, things get… messy. The non-virgin ritual turns her into a flesh-eating succubus, leaving her bookworm best friend Needy to put a stop to her bloody rampage.

We get into the film’s razor-sharp dialogue, Devil’s Kettle, that killer soundtrack, peak-00s fashion, hairstyles and emo music. Plus, we unpack Jennifer and Needy’s complicated friendship, Hollywood’s never-ending hunt for the “next hot girl,” and those delightfully terrible Satan-worshipping indie rockers, Low Shoulder.

Grab your lip gloss, turn up the emo, and join us for some seriously bitchin’ horror chat.

Thanks for listening!

Welcome back to The Horror Project Podcast!

Laura and Phil introduce August’s Monster Movie theme with Listener’s Choice pick The Monster (2016), chosen by @han.horror_xo aka Hannah!

A troubled mother and her teenage daughter find themselves stranded on a deserted country road in the dead of night… with a very angry, very hungry creature lurking nearby.

We dig into the complicated and often heartbreaking relationship between Kathy and Lizzie, exploring the film’s themes of motherhood, adolescence, trauma and the messy business of growing up. Naturally, this leads us to reminisce about our own teenage years and those totally normal parent-child clashes.

Thanks so much for listening! Be sure to follow us on Instagram, and keep sending in your picks for future Listener's Choice episodes. We love hearing what you want us to cover next!

Laura and Phil dive into Evil Dead Burn (2026) as grieving Alice finds herself trapped with her utterly delightful in-laws… because nothing says healing like family, isolation and demonic carnage!

We discuss where Burn sits in the ever-growing Evil Dead franchise, the CGI, the creepy dilapidated house, dishwashers (yes, dishwashers!), and Alice’s battle against the most horrific family imaginable.

Plus, we open the mailbag and read your thoughts from Instagram.

Thanks for listening — now grab your chainsaw and enjoy the carnage!

Welcome back to the Horror Project Podcast! This week, Laura and Phil are getting hands-on with Idle Hands (1999), the wonderfully weird horror-comedy that's equal parts slasher, stoner flick, and '90s time capsule.

It's Laura's first watch, so the big question is: does Idle Hands still hold up, or should it have been left in the last millennium? We dig into the iconic '90s fashion, unforgettable hairstyles, and killer soundtrack, chat about Anton's romance with Molly, his homicidal possessed hand, scene-stealing undead best mates, and Devon Sawa's fantastic physical comedy that keeps the whole thing together.

Join us for plenty of laughs, nostalgia, and a celebration of one of horror's most delightfully bonkers cult classics.

Welcome to The Horror Project Podcast!

This week, Laura and Phil are venturing into the eerie world of Backrooms (2026)... and we're pretty sure we'd never make it back out.

We follow Clark, a struggling furniture store owner, and his therapist Mary as they discover an endless maze of unsettling liminal spaces hidden beneath his store. We chat about Kane Parsons' incredible journey from YouTube creator to blockbuster filmmaker, explore why liminal spaces are so deeply creepy, and ask the all-important question: Would we enter the Backrooms ourselves?

Thanks for listening... and whatever you do, don't follow the buzzing lights.
