    Spooky Time Episode 28: The Overlook Film Festival Overview

    April means going to New Orleans for one of the best genre film festivals in the world and one of our favorites: The Overlook Film Festival. This year was a challenge for the festival as the 2023 SGA and WGA strikes had a diminishing effect on studio releases, the fest managed to pull in some terrific foreign films, and the short films shined too.

    “The Haunting Of”: The Scariest Things Podcast Episode 180

    “The Haunting Of”: The Scariest Things Podcast Episode 180

    You have our apologies in advance. Mike challenged us to record a podcast where we discuss movies with "Haunting" or "Haunted" in the title. If you search "Haunting" in IMdB, there are well over 4000 films with that word in the title. Sadly, only a few of them are any good. Or, at least from what we've been able to determine so far. There are only so many "Haunting of" movies that a critic can stomach in a month.

Discover Great New Horror

Great podcast for discovering new horror movies. Yeah, they’ll chat up the staples from time to time, but this is THE place to come to discover the small horror movie from years past that flew under your radar.

Fun, friendly, informational. What more could you ask for?

Discovering cool movies!

This is such cool podcast, I love the dynamics of the three reviewers especially when they unanimously agree about a movie. It makes me excited for horror again, when sometime it’s a genre that I inadvertently overlook. I’ve discovered so many scary movies that were off the mainstream radar because of them and I always look forward to their “best of” shows.
