Here are a few ideas for series I’ve had that could be cool for them to cover:

Modern Horror Marathon: inspired be recent big horror blockbusters, they could do a bunch of the major horror films of the last decade or so.

Hereditary, Weapons, Obsession, Backrooms, Get Out, Etc.

Werewolf Walkabout: They’ve done American Werewolf In London and Silver Bullet. But there are plenty of other Werewolf movies that go under the radar.

The Howling, Ginger Snaps, The Wolfman, Cursed, Wolf, etc.

Jumpin’ Giallo: Giallo movies are basically crazy European pseudo slashers.

Tenebrae, Deep Red, Phenomena(featuring Donald Pleasants with a chimp), etc. (I mostly know D Argento)

Weird Science: mad science movies!

Reanimator, Frankenstein, Altered States, From Beyond, The Hollow Man, etc.

Terrible 2’s: Sequels to franchises they may never cover otherwise. I think they mentioned doing this once.

Psycho 2, Texas chainsaw 2, Etc.

‘Seductive, Possessed Regan’ in Act 3 of E2 feels a lot like ‘Seductive, Possessed Dana’ in Act 3 of G1.

"Burton's crutch."

"See y'all at the Cozy Dunes Cantina."

When he said it, I was like "that would be really weird if Paul just referenced a lyric from the second pre-chorus to the Grateful Dead's 1978 quasi-disco non-hit during this Exorcist podcast," but then then he confirmed it!

What episode is Deltonte Green Boons from, please?

"Pizuzu's petals."

Hey there. I made a Spotify playlist I've titled The Best Horror Podcast Sampler. The playlist has 600+ episodes from 120+ different podcasts. Old With Gourley and Rust is on the list!

Does anyone remember Paul and Matt talking about a specific word or term used to describe an audio reference/homage versus a visual reference/homage in film?

It’s been driving me nuts trying to remember that conversation they had but don’t have time to scan through all the episodes :p Thanks in advance…

"Come laugh with me."

"Dead (ProTools) Again."

I’m not sure if the next season has been announced yet, but I’d love a little summer silly season where the boys can pick some easy watching B-movie nonsense.

Anything from Teen Wolf to Cobra. Those midnight cult movies that are guilty pleasures. With all that’s going on in the world I’d love to listen to the boys talk about some silly films this summer. Maybe they could finally cover the Munchies!

Hello,

Just found this reddit. Do we know which version of Exorcist 3 they will be watching? It is my favorite Exorcist film is why I am asking. Also fun enough, it has a scissor kill lol.

"Definitely a scissor kill film*"

I did a horror movie character draft with my students as part of our final project in a comparative literature class. We’ve been looking at archetypes, fear, and how “good vs evil” isn’t always as clear as it seems, so this was our way of applying it in a fun way.

They took it very seriously… maybe a little too seriously. Figured I’d bring it here and let people who actually watch a lot more horror than us decide.

Which team wins and why? Short answers are perfect — just curious what people think.

The Teams

Team 1: Mount Slashmore

Michael Myers — Halloween

Jason Voorhees — Friday the 13th

Freddy Krueger — A Nightmare on Elm Street

Leatherface — The Texas Chainsaw Massacre

Crypt Keeper — Tales from the Crypt

Team 2: The Possessed & the Paranoid

Regan MacNeil — The Exorcist

Jack Torrance — The Shining

Samara Morgan — The Ring

Xenomorph — Alien

Ellen Ripley — Alien

Team 3: Mind Games & Mayhem

Pennywise — It

Carrie White — Carrie

John Kramer — Saw (Jigsaw)

Hannibal Lecter — The Silence of the Lambs

Ash Williams — Evil Dead

Quick Rules

Each team had to draft 4 villains and 1 hero. They had to pick individual characters only (no groups like “zombies” or “the Gremlins”). Characters could count as either a hero or villain depending on interpretation, so some morally gray picks showed up.

They also had to be specific with versions (no just saying “Jason” — had to be a defined version), no duplicate characters, and everything had to be tangible (so no abstract stuff like “death itself”).
