They told our parents these were "family films", but what we got were psychological thrillers dressed in cartoon gloves. In this kickoff to our descent into cinematic betrayal, we revisit the movies that came with songs and smiles but hit us with body horror, death, and despair. From WILLY WONKA’s haunted tunnel to THE BRAVE LITTLE TOASTER’s junkyard of doom, this is where the trauma began - and we’re still trying to make sense of it. If you’ve ever had a sudden flashback to wheeled headless queens or singing air conditioners having breakdowns, you’re not alone.

Sharpen your machetes and lace up your boots - because seven blood-soaked maniacs are entering the ring, and only one’s making it out in one piece! In this splatter-soaked showdown, we’re throwing down the horror greats of 1985. Will Freddy’s flamboyant return in A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 2 slash through the competition? Can THE RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD punk-rock its way to the top with brains and black comedy? Does FRIGHT NIGHT still charm the stakes off us, or will RE-ANIMATOR bring it back to life with green-glowing guts and glory? DEMONS is out for blood in a possessed theater, DAY OF THE DEAD drags us into the grim end of the world - and FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 5 crashes the party with sleaze, scream queens, and a body count that won’t quit (even if Jason’s technically MIA). Get ready folks; it's about to get Spooky!

On this frightfully fun episode, we're diving head first into our physical media memories! We remember the joys of grainy bootlegs, tracking lines that danced like spirits, and those dreadful flipper discs that flipped our sanity. Each dusty case pulled from our shelves tells a tale of horror films half-watched, special features lost to disc rot, and collectors' regrets we still wake up screaming about. Let's get Spooky!

It’s an all-you-can-bleed demon buffet, and we’ve got front row seats! This episode, we slice into DEMONS and DEMONS 2, two movies that prove all you need to summon Hell is a mysterious movie ticket and absolutely no safety protocols. Whether it’s in a haunted theater or a cursed apartment complex, these ghouls know how to party. Come for the blood, stay for the motorcycle sword fight, let's get Spooky!

Scream if you love bad decisions, because this episode is a cursed cornucopia of crummy continuations! Join us as we exhume a coffin-load of sequels that should’ve stayed buried. From the vengeful vegetables of Pumpkinhead II to the underwater embarrassment of Jaws: The Revenge, and the satanic nonsense of Warlock: The Armageddon, and more misbegotten monstrosities that dared to crawl from the grave of their predecessors. Bring a shovel, we're digging deep into the cinematic cemetery of suck!

Get ready fright fans - six horror films enter, but only one will survive! In this blood-soaked battle royale, we're pitting 1980’s biggest horror hits against each other, comparing their killers, scares, and legacy. Can Pamela Voorhees slice her way to victory, or will Farmer Vincent turn the competition into his next batch of fritters? Will THE SHINING’s psychological dread outlast the ghostly terror of THE CHANGELING? And can FADE TO BLACK’s Hollywood-obsessed killer stand a chance against THE FOG’s vengeful phantoms? Tune in as we break down each film, eliminate the weakest contenders, and crown the ultimate horror champion of 1980!

Sometimes, a second viewing is all it takes to turn a dud into a delight! In this episode, we’re revisiting horror films we hated the first time around - but for some reason, they finally clicked on a rewatch. Was it a change in perspective? A better appreciation of the craft? Or were we just in a bad mood the first time? From divisive sequels to slow burns that took time to appreciate, we’re diving deep into horror redemption stories!

Grab your crosses and garlic - this fright-filled episode is all about two tales of terror where brothels are more fang-bang than wham-bam - BORDELLO OF BLOOD and FROM DUSK TILL DAWN! We’re sinking our teeth into these sin-drenched slices of vampire cinema, exploring their shared themes, shocking stakes, and chaotic creation. We’ll peel back the coffin lid on BORDELLO OF BLOOD's doomed production and reminisce about our first fateful encounters with these fanged femme fatales. Will both films survive till dawn, or is one getting a stake through the heart? Tune in for all the bloody details - it’s about to get Spooky!

What do you get when you mix vanity, immortality, and a dash of the macabre? A double feature to die for! In this episode, we sharpen our scalpels and dissect the eerie parallels between DEATH BECOMES HER and THE SUBSTANCE, from Hollywood’s sinister beauty standards to the way both films serve up horror with a deliciously dark sense of humor. Who needs ghosts and ghouls when the scariest thing in Hollywood is a wrinkle? Get ready folks; it's about to get Spooky!

Double the stink, double the suffering! On this frightfully fun episode, we're going to take on two of the worst films ever spawned from the bowels of bad cinema. TROLL 2 and THE GARBAGE PAIL KIDS MOVIE - which is the greater abomination? Which film will break our spirits first? Join us as we suffer through terrible special effects, a random musical sequence, questionable parental choices and so much more. Tune in… before our sanity oozes away!
