    The Teeth By Alvin Schwartz Explained

    yle and Meghan are digging into another story from Alvin Schwartz’s Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark: “The Teeth.” They look at the story itself, the strange image at the center of it, and where Schwartz may have drawn his inspiration from. From older folklore and printed sources to similar tales involving frightening strangers and exaggerated teeth, they follow the trail behind the story and compare those earlier versions to the one generations of readers came to know from Scary Stories. Along the way, they talk about what makes “The Teeth” so simple, so bizarre, and still so memorable all these years later. 13 days until Halloween!

    Blair Witch Project and Hell House LLC. With Curtis Andersen (Pt.2)

    Whatever happened to those three missing student filmmakers who ventured into the Maryland woods in 1999? In Part Two of our Xennial Countdown to Halloween special, Meghan and Lyle are joined once again by Special Guest Curtis Andersen of Sabrina the Teenage Witch to revisit The Blair Witch Project (1999) and explore its extraordinary influence on modern horror. We're taking a trip back to the early days of the internet, when a clever marketing campaign had audiences questioning what was real and what wasn't. From its improvised performances and handheld camerawork to its unsettling realism and innovative approach to publicity, The Blair Witch Project helped bring found-footage horror into the mainstream and paved the way for later films such as Paranormal Activity and Hell House LLC. We'll revisit the original Blair Witch phenomenon, share memories of bringing its eerie atmosphere into our own Halloween celebrations, and explore how filmmakers continued to build upon its legacy. Then we're heading into the abandoned Abaddon Hotel for Hell House LLC (2015), a film Curtis recommended during his previous appearance on the podcast. From darkened woods to haunted attractions and some seriously creepy clowns, we're discovering why found-footage horror continues to get under our skin! 14 days until Halloween!

    The Craft and Scream With Curtis Andersen (Pt.1)

    Halloween was growing up right along with us in the 1990s, and so were the horror movies! In Part One of this two-part Xennial Countdown to Halloween, Meghan and Lyle welcome back Special Guest Curtis Andersen of Sabrina the Teenage Witch to revisit two films that helped define a generation: The Craft (1996) and Scream (1996). From Hollywood's fascination with witchcraft and the darker side of teenage life to the revival of the slasher film and the rise of Ghostface as a Halloween icon, we're exploring the movies, memories, and pop culture moments that helped shape our teenage Halloweens. Join us for a nostalgic look back at a time when horror was changing, and so were we! 15 days until Halloween!

    The Nightmare Before Christmas Review - 1993

    In today's Xennial Countdown to Halloween, Meghan and Lyle revisit Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993), the beloved stop-motion musical that introduced audiences to Jack Skellington, the Pumpkin King, and the wonderfully strange world of Halloween Town. From Henry Selick's extraordinary stop-motion animation and Danny Elfman's unforgettable music to the film's delightfully macabre characters and unmistakable Halloween atmosphere, we're exploring what makes this seasonal favorite so enduring. We'll also share our own reactions to the film, including the things we love, the things that don't quite work for us, and why appreciating a classic doesn't necessarily mean considering it a personal favorite. And, of course, there's one question we simply cannot avoid: Is The Nightmare Before Christmas a Halloween movie or a Christmas movie? We have our opinions, but we want to hear yours! 16 days until Halloween!
