Wed, 24 Jul 2019 14:02:21 -0400

In this episode Chris and Christin discuss the 1976 cult classic The Town That Dreaded Sundown.

Housebound: Why would anyone donate to a bed and breakfast, Graeme?

Wed, 09 Jan 2019 09:42:54 -0500

In this episode Christin has a guest co-host, her husband Brian! Brian does not like horror or true crime, but Christin is on a mission to convert him. She chose a movie she thinks he will like and maybe begin the slow fall into loving horror. They talk about how they differ on their feelings of horror, Brian's scary sleep overs as a kid, rolling the dice and anxiety. Then they get into the 2014 movie from New Zealand, Housebound. Also, Christin tells Brian 3 spooky true stories about people living in walls (as if he needs more anxiety.) Join us!

The X-Files-Home and Brother’s Keeper: Mulder, she already is home

Tue, 01 Jan 2019 11:26:29 -0500

On this minisode Chris and Christin discuss their shared love of The X-Files and the origins of it. They then dive into one of the most infamous horror X-Files episodes, Home. They delve into questions about whether or not it was actually banned, locking your doors, and elbow room. They also discuss why some of the best X-Files jokes are in such a horrific episode, why this was probably the easiest case to solve for Mulder and Scully and so much more! Then Christin tells Chris about some of the true stories that inspired the writers of Home. Mainly the story of the Ward brothers and the death of Bill Ward, documented in the movie Brother's Keeper.

Tue, 18 Dec 2018 23:19:17 -0500

Everything is fine, come on in and listen to Chris and Christin discuss the 2015 movie The Invitation. First, we talk about Chris's first screening of Terms of Endearment and all those ghosts in The Haunting of Hill House. Then we get into The Invitation and decide what we would do in the same strange situations the dinner guests end up in. (Hint: Leave when the Zodiac Killer shows up!) They discuss manic pixie dream girls, a possible new horror movie troupe and the power of grief. Then Christin shares the crazy story of the Tony Alamo Christian Ministries cult and makes Chris question what Michael Jackson knew. Get some of your best wine and enjoy.
