Happy Horror Time Tim Murdock & Matt Emert

From playing a sweet, lovestruck counselor in “Friday the 13th Part 2,” to a mysterious woman with a backstory in “In a Violent Nature,” Lauren-Marie Taylor has quite the affinity for woodsy horror movies! Tune in to hear all about making her various slasher films, working with co-star Tom McBride and others in “F13 Pt 2,” and, as a bonus, we’re joined by Lauren’s husband, John Didrichsen, who tells the adorable story of how they met on the set of “Girls Nite Out.”

This week we’re joined by host and stand-up comedian, Mark Ellis, who leads the on-camera efforts at Rotten Tomatoes, to discuss the new reboot, “The Strangers: Chapter 1.” Tune in to hear us break down every bad decision the main characters made, the scenes that had us on edge, how it differed (or didn’t) from the original film, and what we think/hope is in store for the next two installments of this pre-shot trilogy.

Christopher Bradley has an extensive résumé in horror, and a knack for being murdered on-screen. Tune in to hear all about making 80s horror movies like “The Initiation,” “The Wraith,” “Waxwork,” and “Sundown: The Vampire in Retreat,” the various co-stars he enjoyed working with on these films, and the emotional story behind his decision to come out early in his career.

There haven’t been many horror films related to astrology over the years, so when we heard about “Tarot,” we knew it was the perfect opportunity to collaborate with our good friend, Liana Bassior, who hosts the AstroLyrical podcast. Tune in to hear us break down every tarot-based apparition and astrological claim in this supernatural horror flick, and stick around after the review to hear Liana read our charts!

From her iconic ice-skating scene in “Curtains,” to being the first of the Crawford Top 10 targeted in “Happy Birthday to Me,” Lesleh Donaldson had many memorable roles in 80s horror films. Tune in to hear all about making these slashers along with her other horror films like “Funeral Home” and “Deadly Eyes,” what happened the day she was supposed to do her big ice-skating routine, and the homicidal character she played in an episode of “Friday the 13th: The Series.”

Radio Silence, the team that brought us “Ready or Not,” “Scream” (2022), and “Scream VI,” is back with a new twist on the familiar vampire tale… but with a 12-year-old ballerina as the fanged foe. Tune in to hear us break down “Abigail” — from the standout performances to all those explosive surprises, and most importantly, how bloody good of a time we had with it.
