What's up, Creepers? This week on the podcast, I sit with Mannuel C. to we continue the cursed film series. This time we discuss the 1976 film, The Omen. We go back and forth on whether the curse was just that or was it possibly a series of coincidental factors? Events ranging from plane crashes to hotel bombings to animal attacks. There were quite a few things going on. Whether you believe in curses or not, the Omen will definitely make you wonder what's going on. Thank you, everyone, for your support.

What’s up, you ghoulie bastards? This week on the podcast we do things a little differently. Instead of having a theme or movie, I sat down with Syd from “the Hello, Sidney” Podcast and content creator at @horror_chronicles on TikTok and Instagram, to just talk about scary movies overall. We discussed the current state of horror, its potential future, Syd also shared her idea of a good starter pack of films for new horror fans, and what kind of horror film she'd make.

What's happening, Spooky People? This week on the podcast, I sit with Sarah Beth and we continue our cursed films conversations as we talk about the 1983 film, The Twilight Zone: The Movie. We go over a brief description of the film, itself before we shift gears and talk a little more about the "curse". We go over the details that led many to consider this a cursed film. We discussed how John Landis broke laws, was reported to shrug off safety suggestions, and other onset tragedies since then, including The Crow and Rust. "The Twilight Zone: The Movie" curse refers to a series of tragic incidents associated with the production and release of the 1983 anthology film. The movie was based on the classic television series created by Rod Serling. Four segments were directed by different directors, including John Landis, Steven Spielberg, Joe Dante, and George Miller. While not a traditional curse in the supernatural sense, the tragedies associated with "The Twilight Zone: The Movie" have left a dark cloud over the production, leading many to refer to it as a curse. It serves as a reminder of the risks involved in filmmaking and the importance of prioritizing safety on set. Thank you, everyone, for your support.

Welcome back, spooky people. This week on the podcast, we had an emergency fill-in recording with Sarah Beth and Theresa as we talk about the 2001 film Thirteen Ghosts.

The story revolves around a family who inherits a lavishly eerie mansion from their uncle, only to discover that it harbors dark secrets and is inhabited by restless spirits.

Hello and welcome back, folks. This week on the podcast, I welcome Dan Ferraro as we discuss found footage and its roots, how it’s evolved over the years, where we think it’s going, and what OG franchises could be done in a found footage film style. Found footage in horror involves presenting the narrative through footage discovered after an event has occurred, often depicted as recordings from camcorders, surveillance cameras, or handheld devices. This technique aims to create a sense of realism and immersion by portraying events as if the characters captured them. Typically, found footage films utilize shaky camera work, naturalistic acting, and minimal editing to enhance the illusion of authenticity. The storyline often revolves around characters documenting paranormal phenomena, exploring haunted locations, or encountering supernatural entities. Thank you, everyone, for your support.

Howdy, friends! This week on the podcast, Sarah Beth and I sit and discuss the 1968 Roman Polanski film, Rosemary's Baby. Specifically the "curse" associated with the film. The alleged curse surrounding "Rosemary's Baby" has been a subject of fascination and speculation for decades. While it's important to note that these events could be coincidental, they've contributed to the aura of mystery and superstition surrounding the film. We go into what happened with the Manson Family Cult, the tragic and mysterious death of Krzysztof Komeda, and whether or not this is legit or if it's just a matter of the wrong place, and wrong time for some of the occurrences.

Happy New Year, folks. Glad you made it back. This week on the podcast, I sit with Sarah Beth and Theresa and we talk a little bit about cursed films and our plan for 2024 as it relates to this theme. We mention a few of the major horror films associated with curses and we make a plan to further dissect them as the year goes on. Cursed films refer to movies believed to have had unfortunate or eerie occurrences happen during their production or after their release, leading to superstitions about the film being cursed. These incidents could range from accidents on set, unexplained deaths of cast or crew members, to strange happenings during filming.  The idea of cursed films often emerges from a series of unfortunate events or coincidences rather than any supernatural force. However, these occurrences have contributed to the mystique surrounding certain movies and their production, creating enduring legends in Hollywood. Thank you, everyone, for your support.

Welcome back, folks. On this episode of the podcast, we welcome back the team of Sarah Beth, Theresa, and Maryland Phil as we review our theme of Horror Through the Decades and 2023. We walk through the decades and highlight what made each one unique and how it set the stage for the decade to follow. Horror films have evolved significantly over the last century, reflecting societal fears, technological advancements, and shifts in storytelling. In the 1920s, films like "Nosferatu" introduced eerie atmospheres and iconic monsters, emphasizing shadow, light, and distorted sets to evoke fear. In the 1930s and 40s, Universal Studios brought iconic monsters to life, where Gothic settings and creature features dominated. The 1950s and ‘60s, spawned creatures like "Godzilla" and "The Blob". While films like “Psycho” explored psychological terror. The new wave of the 1970s explored taboo subjects and visceral horror. The 1980s and 1990s popularized the slasher formula and subverted genre tropes. In the 2000s the genre sparked a trend in found footage horror, modernized versions of classics, and blended social commentary with horror. Throughout this evolution, horror films have reflected societal anxieties, technological advancements, and storytelling innovations, continuously adapting to captivate audiences and explore the depths of fear and suspense.

What's up, folks? This week on the podcast, I present to you an episode that has been a year in the making. Actually, it was just an old episode that Maryland Phil and I recorded back in 2022 and now it's finally happening. We talk about werewolves in cinema. I'm gonna be honest, I didn't play it back, so I don't remember what we covered. We likely discussed Lon Chaney, Jr. as the Wolf Man, the Howling, American Werewolf in London, and many other films that featured wolf-man hybrids and stuff. I bet I even talked about Gary Busey and cocaine. Let me know if I did. Thank you, everyone, for your support.

Greetings, folks. In the 2020s, horror experienced a diverse evolution across various mediums like film, TV, literature, and games. There was a resurgence of psychological horror, exploring themes of societal fears, isolation, technology, and the unknown.

The genre also saw an expansion in representation and inclusion, bringing diverse perspectives to traditional horror narratives. Additionally, interactive horror games became increasingly popular, blurring the lines between reality and fiction.

Welcome back, folks. This week, I'm joined by Echo Latrice as we sit and talk about the Friday the 13th franchise on this very superstitious day. Friday the 13th is a horror franchise that comprises twelve films, a television series, novels, comic books, and video games. The franchise mainly focuses on Jason Voorhees, who was thought to have drowned as a boy at Camp Crystal Lake due to the negligence of the camp staff. Decades later, the lake is rumored to be "cursed" and is the setting for a series of murders. Jason is featured in all of the films, as either the killer or the motivation for the killings.
