With the Scare Value Boys back on our regular movie watching schedule (in 1986) they tackle a first-time watch for both of them...Wes Craven's Deadly Friend.

Watchalong: From Beyond (1986)

Wed, 26 Aug 2026 00:01:00 -0400

The Scare Value Boys close out their 1986 version of Watch-Alaugust with a trip to the Drive In to watch the Gordon/Crampton/Combs/Lovecraft classic From Beyond. Look, we know last year's watch-along of Re-Animator bordered on creepy given our love of Barbara Crampton. ... This one doesn't go any better.

Wed, 19 Aug 2026 00:01:00 -0400

Watch-Alaugust continues from the 1986 Drive-In as Pete and Bryan revisit a classic from their formative years...Howard the Duck. Duck boobs, Lea Thompson, Jeffrey Jones and the two longest sequences in film history. It was the best of times...it was the worst of times. Most importantly...it was 1986.

Bonus Episode: The 40th Anniversary of The Fly Table Read

Sat, 15 Aug 2026 00:00:00 -0400

It's time for another table read as the Scare Value Boys finally settle one of their long-standing disputes. After watching The Fly a couple of years ago...or 40...who's counting?...they came away with very different understandings of an important character in David Cronenberg's practical effect masterpiece. Is Stathis a hero or a villain? They dive into the original screenplay to find the answer. Everyone you know from the show is on hand to take part in another incredible waste of everyone's time. We've got kids...we've got foreign correspondents...we've got long time family friends...we've got the one adult female we know...and, yes, we've got a returning Oscar winning actor. Happy 40th, The Fly!

Wed, 12 Aug 2026 00:01:00 -0400

Watch-Alaugust 2026 continues 1986 style! Pete and Bryan head back to the drive-in to try (and fail) to decipher what is going on in Stephen King's lone directorial effort. What is and isn't a machine? Who is and isn't a talented film director? Those questions will only partially be answered as Watch-Alaugust rolls on.

Watch-Alaugust 2026 gets underway straight from 1986! Pete and Bryan head to the drive-in to record a watch-along of John Carpenter's Big Trouble in Little China. It's a wild movie that deserves a wild watch-along. Mission accomplished.

Manhunter (1986)

Wed, 29 Jul 2026 00:01:00 -0400

Our return to 1986 hits a new high with a discussion on Michael Mann's Manhunter. We fall in love with the weird choices, fantastic aesthetics and watching William Petersen jump through a window. It gets us very excited to watch The Silence of the Lambs again once we are in a time period where that movie exists. Join us for a surprisingly in-depth discussion on this 1980's gem.

Psycho III (1986)

Wed, 22 Jul 2026 00:01:00 -0400

The Scare Value Boys check into the Bates Motel once again to share their thoughts on Psycho III. They're still bumming around 1986...and it's not exactly going according to plan. On the bright side...they get to watch Jeff Fahey devour scenery while Anthony Perkins hands out another great take on his most famous character.

Poltergeist II: The Other Side (1986)

Wed, 15 Jul 2026 00:01:00 -0400

The Scare Value Boys are back in 1986...literally. This time they've time traveled on purpose to bring you another run of episodes from the best year that ever was. They're kicking off this new season in (poor) style with a discussion of Poltergeist II: The Other Side. Will it start their trip off with a thud...or will those sweet 1986 vibes be back in effect? Hope for the latter because they're doing nine more weeks of this.

Our Twin Peaks: The Return mini-series comes to a conclusion with this bonus discussion of what in the Hell we think was happening on this incredible limited event series. Who is the dreamer?

Bonus Episode: Brief Evil Dead Burn Instant Reaction

Fri, 10 Jul 2026 00:01:00 -0400

Way back when we started Scare Value Podcast we recorded a brief non-spoiler out of theater reaction to Scream VI. Three years and a quarter years later...we decided to do that again for Evil Dead Burn. This was recorded in a windy parking lot with a less than professional recording device so the audio can get a bit bumpy...but it's also a brisk 23 minutes so what do you have to lose?

There will be a more professional sounding bonus episode tomorrow as we wrap up our Twin Peaks: The Return coverage before venturing out on our next journey. Which, ironically, we spoil in this non-spoiler talk about Evil Dead Burn.

We've reached the end of Twin Peaks: The Return...but we're going out in style. Join us for a watch-along of the epic and enjoyably confounding conclusion of the still way ahead of its time limited series. Queue up Parts 17 and 18 and watch with us as we throw around complex, conflicting and haphazard theories about what in the world we are watching. Then come back in a few days when we drop a bonus episode going deeper into those theories...which are all ultimately wrong anyway. But that's part of the beauty of the whole thing. Nine years later and it's still all I want to talk about. It'll be just as true in ninety years. A truly singular work...that you can watch along with two idiots.

The Scare Value Boys continue their journey back to Twin Peaks with Parts 11 and 12 of Twin Peaks: The Return.

That's a lot of arguing. They agree this show rocks though.

Friend of the podcast Mark returns to try and help Pete understand what he watched in 1989's Society. It's a wild movie that has sadly gotten less shocking due to real world events. Still, it's pretty great. Don't be a butthead...get to listening wherever you get your podcasts.

The Scare Value Boys tackle another 2026 release in the killer chimpanzee movie Primate. They discuss why not having things like plot and character development can sometimes improve a movie...at least when that movie is about a chimpanzee with rabies trying to kill everyone around him.

Watchalong: Poltergeist (1982)

Wed, 01 Apr 2026 00:01:00 -0400

Pete plays a reverse Uno card to pull an April Fool's prank on Bryan. What was advertised as a watch-along of 1986's April Fool's Day became an attempt to prank Pete into watching Wicked: For Good. Wise to Bryan's chicanery...Pete sets up a watch-along of his favorite horror movie...Poltergeist. A watch-along three years in the making.

To watch with us cue up Poltergeist to the moment the MGM lion/logo appear on screen and pause it. Pete will count down from three and you can hit play to be off and running. Or just listen without watching like you usually do. You know the drill by now.

Big time spoiler warnings for this episode as the Scare Value Boys try to figure out what went wrong with Scream 7. Wait to listen to this one until after you've seen the movie...and The Bride! too for some reason. They get heavy into spoilers on both movies. From questionable fan service to focusing on the wrong plotline...Scream 7 came up short in too many areas to measure up to (most of) the franchise. Join us as we talk about all of it.

Or will he get swept up in the comedic moments of Hooper's 12 years later sequel...forcing them to try something new next year (and for the rest of their lives)?

You can watch both movies, one movie, or neither movie along with us. Just click play and enjoy the ride.

Wed, 17 Sep 2025 00:01:00 -0400

With this year's Spooky Season Spectacular postponed for a week the Scare Value boys discuss two 80s horror comedies. Pete picked this week's movies...and Bryan is left dumfounded after watching his picks.

Psycho II (1983)

Wed, 10 Sep 2025 00:01:00 -0400

The Scare Value Podcast returns to the Bates Motel to check in on our old friend Norman. That's right...we're doing Psycho II this week. The sequel no one wanted that holds up far better than it has any right to. Instead of taking the easy road and producing a cheap slasher to fit the movies of the time...Psycho II delivers a deep character study...posing the question "Will society ever let someone like Norman Bates be sane?" Spoiler alert: The answer is no.

Wed, 06 Aug 2025 00:01:00 -0400

Pete and Bryan have spent the week in each other's bodies as the result of an unexpected body swap. What better time could there be to watch 2020's slasher comedy/body swap movie Freaky? Spoiler...they spend more time talking about 2025's Superman and arguing about what they've learned in the last week than discussing the movie they were supposed to cover. This is a weird one.

The Sadness (2021)

Wed, 30 Jul 2025 00:01:00 -0400

The Scare Value Podcast heads to Taiwan to wrap up its trip through Asian cinema. It gives Pete the chance to exact revenge for a laundry list of aggravations.

The Scare Value Boys continue their (fake) tour of Asia with a loving look at South Korean masterpiece Train to Busan. Pete puts his anger away just long enough to gush over the zombie movie...or, at least, he directs it at the child star instead of his podcast partner. Plus...they attempt to recast the film's lead roles for an American remake. It goes exactly like you expect it to.

Fri, 20 Jun 2025 00:01:00 -0400

The entire Scare Value Podcast crew joins together (separately) to record a script read through for the 50th anniversary of Jaws. There was a slight hitch in the process...as we discovered the night before that the script from Jaws doesn't exactly match the classic lines and moments from Spielberg's masterpiece.

Quint - Also Pete (we don't know that many people)

Hooper - 4N Correspondent Ken

Ellen Brody - Kitty

Mrs. Kintner - Kitty
