Join us as we continue our in depth discussion and analysis of the 2007 psychological crime thriller Zodiac.
Directed by: David Fincher
Starring: Jake Gyllenhaal, Robert Downey Jr., and Mark Ruffalo
Editor’s Note: On Mindhunter (2017-2019) David Fincher was an executive producer and directed 7 of the series’ 19 episodes. However, the show was created by Joe Penhall.
Also, “The Most Dangerous Game” was in fact a book, first published in 1924 (the RKO film came out in 1932). Arthur Leigh Allen said it was his favourite book in high school.

Join us as we continue our in depth discussion and analysis of the 1995 psychological crime thriller Se7en.
Trigger Warning: besides the usual (murder, gore etc), slight discussion of violent sexual content and be aware Kevin Spacey was also in the film
Directed by: David Fincher
Starring: Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt
After a brief much needed break we are back with a new theme for April - psychological thrillers. We’re starting with a heavy hitter, Fincher’s 1995 classic Se7en. The acting/dialogue does suffer from the overly dramatic trend of the ‘90s but over all the film still holds up. Also the cinematography is gorgeous and there's some epic makeup/prosthetics.

Join us as we continue our in depth discussion and analysis of the 1992 horror comedy Leprechaun.
Directed by: Mark Jones
Starring: Warwick Davis and Jennifer Aniston
Editor’s Note: Full list of Leprechaun sequels in order of release date: Leprechaun 2, Leprechaun 3, Leprechaun 4: In Space, Leprechaun 5: In the Hood, Leprechaun 6: Back 2 The Hood, Leprechaun: Origins, and Leprechaun Returns. Warwick Davis stars in all except Origins and Returns. Davis portrays Professor Flitwick and Griphook the goblin in the Harry Potter franchise and several Star Wars characters including Wicket the Ewok (the one that first befriends Leia).
For our special St. Patrick’s weekend episode we watched the only logical choice: 1992’s Leprechaun. Silly, campy, and not very scary - it’s a fun watch but maybe not a rewatch.

Join us as we continue our in depth discussion and analysis of the 2015 Irish folk horror film The Hallow.
Directed by: Corin Hardy
Starring: Joseph Mawle and Bojana Novakovic
Editor’s Note: Apologies for my [Ash] clunky audio this week - apparently my mic wasn’t working and I had to crank the other mics way up to make it work.
For our second Irish-Folklore-Medley theme film we watched 2015’s The Hallow. You will see the similarities between this and The Last of Us - the first game came out just 2 years before this movie. However, the film mixes this new sci-fi with old school folklore making the story unique. Despite a few instances of obvious CGI this movie is definitely worth the watch - but be wary if you have a hard time with body horror.

Join us as we continue our in depth discussion and analysis of the 2015 dark fantasy film: Tale of Tales.
Directed by: Matteo Garrone
Starring: Salma Hayek & Vincent Cassel
We start out our hard to explain theme for March this week: fairy tales and folklore but also a special St. Patrick’s day episode in a couple weeks (guess which one that is, lol). Tale of Tales is the only English language film by Italian director Matteo Garrone and based on a 3 of a collection of 17th century fairy tale poems. This dark fantasy film tips into the horror genre slightly but with a low scare-o-meter rating - safe for horror newbies.

Join us as we continue our in depth discussion and analysis of the 2003 horror-adjacent action film Underworld.
Directed by: Len Wiseman
Starring: Kate Beckinsale, Scott Speedman, and Bill Nighy
Out vampire theme has come back around - because there’s just too many good ones for only one month. We’re starting off with not your typical vampire film - Underworld. Although this is definitely an action movie, the plot revolves around feuding vampires and lycans (werewolves) so we’re counting it as horror also. It’s a nostalgic favourite of our with some fabulous practical special effects and great acting performances - shout out to Michael Sheen as Lucien.

Join us as we finish up our in depth discussion and analysis of the 2018 supernatural historical fiction drama The Terror.
Directed by: Tim Mielants
Starring: Jared Harris, Adam Nagaitis, Paul Ready, and Nive Nielsen
For the month of January we have been covering the full first season of this anthology series. This week we finish up the season with episodes 9 & 10. Based on the book of the same name by Dan Simmons, The Terror follows the 1845 Franklin Expedition in their search for the Northwest Passage. Choices are made and not long into their journey both ships become trapped in the Arctic ice. Along with the many practical challenges of being stranded, the crew soon discover the polar bear pursuing them is more sinister than it seems.
Scare-O-Meter (for episodes 9 & 10)
Tasha - 6 out of 10
Julia - 6 out of 10
Scare-O-Meter (for the series as a whole)
Tasha - 5 out of 10
Julia - 5 out of 10
Jack-O-Lanterns
5 out of 5s across the board
Consensus: This episode runs a little longer for us than usual because SO much is packed into these last two episodes. We finally get an understanding out what tuunbaq is and find out the fates of each member of the expedition crew.
This series is a perfect match for the cold month of January. And though it is spooky, it's definitely safe for horror newbies as well.If you enjoyed listening to us and would like to hear more, please Rate, Review, and subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, or wherever you consume your podcasts!

Join us for an in depth discussion and analysis of the 1985 epic dark fantasy adventure film Legend.
Directed by: Ridley Scott
Starring: Tom Cruise, Mia Sara, and Tim Curry
For our last ‘80s fever dream film we went with one neither of our hosts had seen before - Legend. It stars Tom Cruise as an unlikely (an character arc-less) hero wearing a strange metal skirt. But more importantly, the antagonist - the Lord of Darkness - is portrayed wonderfully by the one and only Tim Curry. And the prosthetics and makeup are phenomenal.

Jack-O-Lantern Ratings:

Consensus: Spooky factor is on par with The Dark Crystal - definitely safe for our horror newbies. Worth the watch for Tim Curry alone.

Join us for an in depth discussion and analysis of the 1989 family spooky adventure film Little Monsters.
Directed by: Richard Greenberg
Starring: Fred Savage and Howie Mandel
We’re switching it up a bit for our bonus holiday episode - this one is more light hearted than the other ‘80s picks this month. Definitely our most kid-friendly choice - however some questionable adult jokes did get snuck in there. This movie also features two actors from Home Alone and a kid with the engineering talent of Kevin McCallister sooooo holiday movie adjacent.

Jack-O-Lantern Ratings:

Directed by: Jim Henson
Starring: David Bowie & Jennifer Connelly
After a brief break we’re back with a bang with our second instalment of ‘80s fever dreams. David Bowie as goblin King Jareth is iconic and the amazing puppetry practical effects throughout still hold up. Get excited for The Worm and what Tasha has dubbed The Chaos Scene.

Directed by: Wolfgang Peterson.
Starring: Noah Hathaway, Barret Oliver, Tami Stronach, Patricia Hayes, and Moses Gunn.
Happy December! - As you can guess our theme this month is a little on the lighter (and weirder side). The theme is: 80's Fever Dreams. Those films that creeped you out as a kid and you can't quite remember what's real and what's not...
So we're starting the month off with a classic - The NeverEnding Story!Scare-O-Meter Ratings:
Tasha - 1 out of 10
Julia - 1 out of 10 (with a 5.5 from a childhood perspective)
Jack-O-Lantern Ratings:
Julia - 4.5 out of 5
Tasha - 4 out of 5
Consensus: A family friendly tale that still has a dark undercurrent and some trippy visuals. It's brother's grimm meets acid trip vibes will definitely have you feeling a sense of deja vu...
