    Ep 194: Do the Loco Motion

    The recipe for “Stopmotion” goes a little something like this: Take two parts live action, one part stop motion animation, a dash of childlike storytelling, a pinch of losing your mind, and mix them all together. Tune in as we break down every creepy figurine, every “is this real” or “is this a hallucination” moment, and the scene that might cause even gorehounds to look away.

    Ep 192: Stay Awake or Die!

    Here’s something we learned from watching “Double Blind” this week: If a pharmaceutical company’s willing to pay you 30,000 euro to participate in a drug trial, get as far away as possible! Tune in to hear us break down this new Irish thriller — from all that haunting imagery, to what “double blind” actually means, and how grateful we were for a good night’s sleep afterward.

    Ep 190: An Evil Freaky Friday

    Heather Graham, Barbara Crampton, and Judah Lewis (from “The Babysitter” movies) all switching bodies with a horny demon? How could we resist? Tune in to hear us break down “Suitable Flesh” (now available on Shudder) — from all those body-swapping seizures, to the sexy scenes that made Tim blush, and whether it succeeded in balancing all that camp, gore, and horror.

The Horror Love!!!

I love, love, love the energy that is brought to the table with every episode. Tim and Matt have such love for horror, and it is felt in every moment. From interviews with beloved horror cast and crew from classics to their reviews of recent films, there’s truly never a dull second.

The Best

The chemistry between the two hosts is everything. Their style of banter while intelligently discussing horror movies is what elevates this horror podcast to being the best currently out there.

New Obsession

Whoever brought these two rib-tickling horror nerds together should be strung up and showered with bloody praise. Personal intimate interviews give further insight into the insane brutal wacky process of birthing horror classics and their gut-wrenching offspring.
The alternating film review offerings provide an enjoyable palette cleanser that fits your ears any time of day- you’ll forget to take your listening device off before showering...
After bingeing all episodes as if my life depended on it, I devoured the catalog of ‘Patron Bonus Eps’ to satisfy my daily thirst for haunting tales and trivia.
Newly recruited, obsessed and hungry for more!
