    Episode 32: Just the Classics

    Episode 32: Just the Classics

    Halloween is days away, and we decide to go classic.  Along with Superstar Returning Guest Jonathan Woodard, we discuss the Universal, um, universe, but bop into other decades as the mood takes us. Also - stupid tattoos, Gary Oldman's tortured take on Dracula, and Elsa Lanchester's side hustle singing dirty ditties.

    Episode 31: The (RE)Birth Episode!

    Well, by gum - it's been a DOG'S AGE. How've you been? We've been.....distracted. Personal and professional stuff kept us away from you all, but we're back, and in a STUDIO again, no less.
    Joining us is return guest Matt Ferrara, as we talk about BIRTH IN HORROR. Rosemary's Baby, It's Alive, Prevenge...we discover that there are enough pregnancy/birth horror movies for an entire series, but we'll spare you.  Meanwhile, we get typically sidetracked as only we know how. Hope y'all like placenta jokes!

    Episode 30 - "Call Your Dad!"

    Episode 30 - "Call Your Dad!"

    On this episode, we get deep into cults in horror.  Not cult horror.  Cults IN horror.  Movies inspired by the likes of Charlie Manson, Jim Jones, the Westboro Baptist Church and Heaven's Gate.  Joining Lisa and Yinh is not-at-all-a-cult-leader Jonathan Woodard.  We talk cannibalism, blowjobs for enlightenment, multi-level marketing, and how to ace your Scientology "personality test."  And we won't even make you change your name!

    Episode 29 - Fa-fa-fa-fa-FASHION

    Episode 29 - Fa-fa-fa-fa-FASHION

    "Fashion" isn't usually the first word that comes to mind when we think about horror, but horror is, in fact, DREADFULLY STYLISH, darlings.  Joining Lisa and Yinh is designer (and "Internet personality" Dan Pecci (danpecci.com) to talk foppish dandy vampires, nice girl sweaters, pretty dresses, and all the things we probably overlook as we're screaming.  Also: why "Showgirls" is probably actually a horror movie, how to hold a cigarette when your life is falling apart, and Jamie Lee Curtis's colon.  Dress to impress!

    Episode 28 - Have An Evil Shmevil Christmas

    It's Christmas once more at Stay Scary and we're making the best of it, with our five-time returning Champion Guest Jonathan Woodard.  We of course revisit "Black Christmas," but also get into a little "Christmas Evil," "A Christmas Horror Story," and "Rare Exports."  Also: the genuine horrors of TikTok (but only if you're a Queen Above 18), unsolicited dick pics, and terrible jokes about eggnog.

    Episode 26 - Thanksgiving In The Can

    Turkey days are here again, and we get into a fresh round of Thanksgiving-themed horror movies with returning guest Soren Campbell.  We talk "Thankskilling 3," "Pilgrim," and "Flesh and Blood."  Also: garbage comfort food, getting blocked by Scott Baio, and drinking at bad chain restaurants the night before Thanksgiving.  Save room for PIE!

Hilarious-n-Horrifying! Irreverent-n-Informative!

Every Monday morning I look forward to listening to a brand new episode of STAY SCARY on my morning commute. I am not the biggest fan of horror films but that doesn’t matter! I love this podcast because it makes me feel like I’m just hanging with funny friends shooting the breeze about a particular topic to do with the horror genre.

...Well, the hosts TRY (kind of) to keep on topic, but the conversation veers wildly to anything and everything. STAY SCARY is irreverent and informative... and sometimes gross! (Pro tip: don’t listen to the GOREmay episode while eating!!!)

I love it and you will too. STAY SCARY!!!
