The Hounds Of Horror

Jacob Inman joins Chris and Gabe yet again and if he keeps hanging around the studio we're going to have to start charging him rent. The trio talk about Wes Craven's 1997 film Scream 2! Two years after the terrifying events that occurred in Woodsboro, Sidney is now attending Windsor College in Cincinnati, and Gale Weathers’ best selling book on Sidney’s life has now been made into a major motion picture. When two college students are killed in a theatre while watching the new film ‘Stab’, Sidney knows deep down that history is repeating itself.

The Hounds are once again joined by writer/director Jacob Inman to talk about his favorite horror film of all time, Wes Craven's Scream! Set in a fictional California suburb, a horror movie-obsessed killer known as Ghostface begins killing off teenagers, and as the body count begins rising, one girl and her friends find themselves contemplating the ‘rules’ of horror films as they find themselves living in a real-life one. DISCLAIMER: While we typically operate under the assumption that you've seen the film before listening, spoilers are always on the table. However, this one also features spoilers for other films in the Scream series, most notably Scream 2, 3 and 5.

Shannon, Lower the ambience! This week we are taking a break from movies and talking about another form of media we love so much, video games! Chris and Gabe are joined by guest Shannon Lee Gia as the three of us discuss our five favorite Horror games. We also go on side tangents about every other video game that is mentioned and we just don't shut up.

The Hounds of Horror discuss Fresh (2022) directed by Mimi Cave and written by Lauryn Kahn. Frustrated by scrolling dating apps only to end up on lame, tedious dates, Noa takes a chance by giving her number to the awkwardly charming Steve after a produce-section meet-cute at the grocery store. He eats her ass and they live happily-ever-after.

Chris and Gabe sit down to talk about the Alex Garland directed 2022 A24 film Men. Jessie Buckley (Fargo, I'm Thinking Of Ending Things) plays Harper, who in the aftermath of a personal tragedy, retreats alone to the beautiful English countryside, hoping to find a place to heal. But someone or something from the surrounding woods appears to be stalking her. What begins as simmering dread becomes a fully-formed nightmare, inhabited by her darkest memories and fears. It's a film that begs the ultimate question, "Why are men?"

It's a pretty horny episode as Chris and Gabe talk about X, the 2022 Ti West directed Slasher film. This movie has it all. Mia Goth in dual roles! alligators! Slutty, murderous grandmas! Set in 1979, a group of young filmmakers set out to make an adult film in rural Texas, but when their reclusive, elderly hosts catch them in the act, the cast find themselves fighting for their lives.

The Hounds have a long talk about one of the best horror films of this year, The Black Phone. In the film, a shy but clever 13-year-old boy is abducted by a sadistic killer and trapped in a soundproof basement where screaming is of little use. When a disconnected phone on the wall begins to ring, the boy discovers that he can hear the voices of the killer’s previous victims, who begin to aid him in his quest to escape. We also spend a little bit longer than usual on this weeks mail call segment because you people keep hitting us with the best questions!

Chris and Gabe have a ton of fun gushing over their favorite horror movie of all time, Wes Cravens "A Nightmare On Elm Street", the film that kicked off the only franchise where Johnny Depp is murdered twice. Teenagers in a small town are getting killed left and right and no one knows why. Sweet, innocent Nancy traces the cause to child murderer Freddy Krueger, who was burned alive by angry parents many years before. Krueger has now come back in the dreams of his killers’ children, claiming their lives as his revenge. Now it's up to Nancy to stop him.

Chris and Gabe talk about the 2019 directorial debut from Travis Stevens, Girl on The Third Floor. CM Punk plays a scumbag trying to be a family man with plans to renovate a rundown house with a sordid history for his growing family, only to learn that the house has other plans. Plans that involve a lot of cum.

Hell holds no surprises for Chris and Gabe as they discuss the 1971 lost masterpiece The Devils. Directed by Ken Russell, The Devils is a dramatized historical account of the rise and fall of Urbain Grandier, a 17th-century Roman Catholic priest accused of witchcraft following alleged demonic possessions of sexually repressed nuns. Chris and Gabe also dish the dirt on their favorite horror television shows and Gabe namedrops a celebrity he's hung out with yet again.
