It's our 50th Episode! So we are celebrating by covering a 50 year old story - Stephen King's Carrie first published in 1974. We talk through Brian De Palma's stylish (and very 1970s) movie adaptation - the story, characters, actors, split-screens, crane shots, Star Wars connections, split diopter lenses, audio montages, deleted scenes and much, much more.
William Katt's audition for Luke Skywalker (with Kurt Russell as Han Solo)

Episode 47: Krampus (2015) - You'd Better Watch Out
Peter and Phil have a festive chat about Michael Dougherty's movie Krampus from 2015. We go through the story, characters, themes, crazy monsters, creepy elves and a big horned and hooved fella. We also read a huge aspect of the film two completely different ways, and have to dive into the internet to see who is correct. Find out who wins here. And Happy Holidays!

Episode 46: The Mist (2007) - Cloudy With a Chance of Tentacles
Peter and Phil try to find their way through The Mist from 2007, written and directed by Frank Darabont from a story by Stephen King. We discuss the story, characters, behind the scenes stories from the making of the movie, differences between the novella and the film, and the weird and wonderful creatures that lurk within. We also fundamentally disagree about a major (and controversial) aspect of the movie. See who you agree with!

Customer Reviews
A Great Podcast
But, how dare you review an action movie starring Paul Reiser for the October episode of your horror movie podcast. Shame on the both of you.
More great stuff from this duo
I followed these guys over to this pod from their brilliant Hellraiser podcast, and I'm over the moon happy to see them broaden the scope of the horror they look at (as they do such a bang up job talking about Hellraiser and Hellraiser-related stuff). I really like how they work their way through the plot of a movie, but also talk about the themes, production tidbits, and all the rest. They aren't the first show to do this, but of the shows I listen to they do this approach the best.
This is also a very pleasant show to listen to. The guys have very pleasant voices, and a chipper tone, that I just find very pleasing to the ear. This instantly became one of my fav podcasts, horror related or otherwise.
Wonderful Horror Podcast
These guys are really great at discussing horror. I’ve been a fan since I found their Hellraiser podcast a few years ago and was very happy to find that they have branched out to discuss these amazing films. Keep up the great work gentlemen!
