  3. FEAR OF SNOWMEN - Anna and the Apocalypse & Jack Frost (Hominochionophobia) - Episode 28

    FEAR OF SNOWMEN - Anna and the Apocalypse & Jack Frost (Hominochionophobia) - Episode 28

    What if Frosty made you frozen with fright? It's that time of year, when hominochionophobics are staying far away from any holiday fun associated with snowmen.  Is it the anthropopmorphic characteristics? The uncanny valley effect? Maybe they don't like carrots? Or snow?  We plow into the Fear of Snowmen and why someone might not feel very festive around around decorated snow people.  So, to avoid Kris having a total hissy fit, we're talking the Scottish, zombie horror, dark comedy, musical, "Anna and the Apocalypse" (2017). This movie is.....not about snowmen. In all fairness though, it does have a zombie in a snowman costume as the first kill. Close enough, right?  Then, we're really rolling up our mittens and digging ourselves a big old snowball with 1997's "Jack Frost." This was really a snowman horror genre defining cinematic masterpiece featuring the "world's most pissed off snow cone!" It also, may just change your opinion on carrots... for better or worse.  So pull up your snow boots and grab a shovel as we carve some fresh pow in Episode 28... the Fear of Snowmen!   Don't forget to join our FEARDO communities!  Check out our Facebook page: facebook.com/SumOfAllFearPodcast  Follow us on Twitter: twitter.com/sumofallfearpod  Like us on Instagram: instagram.com/sumofallfearpod  Join our Patreon Community: patreon.com/sumofallfearpodcast

    FEAR OF HALLOWEEN - Tales of Halloween & Trick ‘r Treat (Samhainophobia) - Episode 27

    Halloween is the most wonderful time of the year...for some people.  To those suffering from Samhainophobia, the witches, gouls and goblins strike fear in their hearts and cause them to hide away until the holiday is over.  We dive into the history of Samhain, the foundation for our modern Halloween festivities. Then our resident expert talks all about how this holiday can be a nightmare for those with a Fear of Halloween. After that it's on to Halloween anthologies! We figured, let's pick some movies where we get more bang for our buck, right?! Our Honorable Mention is 2015's "Tales of Halloween" where we're talking 10 original shorts played out over a small town on Halloween night. Followed by our Feature Presentation, the kickass, cult classic, Halloween standard, 2007's "Trick 'r Treat.  Let's hangout with Sam and get into some Halloween mischief together!  Don't forget to join our FEARDO communities!

    FEAR OF BOOKS - Evil Dead 2 & In the Mouth of Madness (Bibliophobia) - Episode 26

    Do you read Sutter Cane? Probably not a very good idea, especially if you have bibliophobia! We've got book burning, book banning and even some book learning in this week's episode on the Fear of Books. We find out about the roots of this phobia and then go on a little history ride and talk literacy and books through the ages.  Then it's on to evil books in movies and c'mon... you know Evil Dead 2 and the Necronomicon Ex Mortis is the best!  Our feature presentation is the John Carpenter masterpiece In the Mouth of Madness, where we get all Lovecraftian up in this b--itch.  No page will be left unturned!

  6. FEAR OF HOLES - The Stuff, The Fly & AHS: CULT (Trypophobia) - Episode 25

    FEAR OF HOLES - The Stuff, The Fly & AHS: CULT (Trypophobia) - Episode 25

    Do pictures of honeycombs, tiny holes, or clustered bumps make you feel sick? You might have TRYPOPHOBIA! It’s a lot more common than you think.  This episode covers it all. Kris gives us all the reasons why this is a natural, evolutionary fear, which is why it’s so common (and makes so many people cringe).  Then, it’s on to the trypophobic body horror of The Stuff & The Fly. The holes and bumps in these movies will have your head between your knees, wishing you hadn't messed with Larry Cohen and David Cronenberg's movies.  It doesn’t REALLY get rolling until we dig into the crazy trypo-triggering, metaphorical hole filling, Season 7 of American Horror Story. This CULT Season is ripe with trypophobic images (especially the marketing), but we go way beyond the physical holes. We get super deep in this one folks. Be prepared! Metaphorical holes will be filled. Don't forget to join our FEARDO communities!

    FEAR OF CLOWNS (Part 2) - Stephen King’s IT: Book, Miniseries, Chapter 1 & Chapter 2 - Episode 24

    Hiya Georgie! We’re bringing Part 2 of Fear of Clowns all the way to Derry, Maine to hang out with the Losers’ Club.  We do a little Stephen King Trivia during “What the Fear!?” and talk a little more about this interesting phobia. Then, it’s on to Stephen King’s 1986 novel, the 1990 Miniseries, 2017’s Chapter 1 & the brand new Chapter 2 that just came out last week.  We’ll all be floating after we finish this long-ass episode, jam-packed with all things IT!

    FEAR OF CLOWNS (Part 1) - Killer Klowns from Outer Space & Terrifier (Coulrophobia) - Episode 23

    Send in the CLOWNS!! It's Part 1 on the Fear of Clowns and we got a whole big floppy shoe full of great information for you. Somehow between Drew's hangover belches, we learn all about the history of clowns and how the evil clown phenomena developed. So why are people so freaked out by these harbingers of childhood joy? Kris gives us the answer and it might surprise you!  Did you know that in 1988, alien clowns came to earth and terrorized a small town? We learn all about that as well (and their cotton candy cocoons) in our honorable mention "Killer Klowns from Outer Space."  For our Feature Presentation, it's time for a Halloween night massacre hosted by our newest favorite horror character, Art the Clown, in Damien Leone's "Terrifier." Seriously, David Howard Thornton is freaking amazing in this role and we can't wait for the sequel.  Next week, we'll be releasing Part 2 on the Fear of Clowns which will be all about Stephen King's IT. We'll talk the 1986 novel, the 1990 mini-series, 2017's IT: Chapter 1 and IT: Chapter 2 coming out this week!
