When Scary Met Stabby

As we wrap up our season of family-friendly horror films, Christopher and Scott are joined by Bill Oakley (Steamed Hams Society, Mission Hill, The Simpsons) and Matt Keyser (Clamshell Case Files, Blood Brothers) to discuss the 2012 gem that is ParaNorman. We discuss standard voice casting and stunt voice casting, the perks and problems of living in Salem, Massachusetts during Halloween season, and then Scott regales all with a tale of a dog that can see ghosts. Or can it? Tune in, and see you next year!

Christopher n' Scott are joined by Danielle Brown this week as they discuss the classic horror comedy The Addams Family Values and talk about why it may be better than the original, how it's the perfect Summer/Halloween/Thanksgiving film, and dark fantasies Scott may or may not harbor over the cake scene. He says not, but Christopher is uncertain. Good times are had by all. Eat me!

In this episode, Christopher and Scott are joined by Kendra Beltran of the Crushgasm podcast to discuss 1991's family comedy/horror vehicle Ernest Scared Stupid. Talking points include whether Ernest is magical or if he takes several hours to get points across, weird film logic/terrible 90s film parenting, and bad ideas for things to do with milk IRL. Later, Scott tells a story about a haunted doll. Guess which one! Nope, not that one! And not that one either! (Seriously, you're not going to guess this one.)

Always remember: milk eradicates them...and it gets rid of them, too!

In this episode, Christopher and Scott are joined by Jonathan Sasor (Melt, Rampikes) to discuss the 1986 television special Mr. Boogedy. Originally a part of the Wonderful World of Disney lineup, this 45 minute feature is a "frightfest" for the whole family. Talking points include John Astin's puzzling willingness to appear in this film, how utterly impossible it would be to live with the protagonists, and just how insane this film suggests a midnight snack could be. Later, Scott shares the folklore of Baba Yaga.

Gag City!

In the first episode of season two, Christopher and Scott are joined by Hayleigh Kurland to discuss the 1985 acid trip for kids that is Return to Oz. Scott has problems with a large child puppet with an adult consciousness calling a human child "Mom", Christopher is obsessed with how a nineteenth century medical quack describes his electroshock machine, and Hayleigh references the greased chutes of H. H. Holmes's infamous castle. Later, Scott found a modern story of La Llarona...at a ski resort?!

We're back!

In the final episode of our initial run, Christopher and Scott jointly picked the 1978 horror classic Halloween. Joined by Danielle Brown (World of Commotion), they discuss the competency of Dr. Samuel Loomis, driving while wearing a mask, and Michael Myer's unusual and specific diet. Later, Scott provides us with some grisly real life horrors and then we discuss Bat Boy. Fun times had by all!

In this episode, Christopher and Scott are joined by Jim Schultz (Old Men Yell at Cloud) to discuss the 2018 modern horror classic, Hereditary. Scott tries to explain why he finds this film to be realistic, Christopher reveals that he'd be willing to take a few punches for writer/director Ari Aster, and Jim learns that Paimon is in fact a real genuine obscure Christian spirit. Later, Scott shares a story about a real life twentieth century Australian witch.

In this episode, Christopher and Scott are joined by Hayleigh Kurland to discuss Danny Boyle's 2002 zombie/not zombie classic 28 Days Later. There's discussion about the distance from London to Manchester and Scott's completely insane theory that the military turned Brendan Gleason's character into a Rage carrier through a method that would make Rube Goldberg proud. Later, Scott provides a story of a real life exorcist that may or may not be an actual insane person.

In this episode, Christopher and Scott are joined by Jonathan Sasor (Melt, Rampikes, Ease Into the Noise) as they discuss John Carpenter's 1982 classic, "The Thing".

Later, Scott finds a tale with some moderate storytelling woes and Christopher attempts to read it.
