Scream 4 (10th Anniversary Bonus)
Don't get excited! This isn't a full episode on Wes Craven's Scream 4 (2011). It's simply an acknowledgement that the film, which is very important to us, is celebrating its tenth anniversary. And so, in advance of our full length episode next January, here's a taste of why we love Scream 4. Questions? Comments? Snark?

The Silence of the Lambs (1991) feat. Reyna Cervantes
The lambs have stopped screaming so we're going all-in on Jonathan Demme's critically-acclaimed and Oscar-winning film The Silence of the Lambs. Joining us is Reyna Cervantes, the co-host of the Horror In Session podcast! In what is an admittedly unorthodox episode for us, we eschew a traditional plot summary in favor of a more analytical episode, looking back at the film's development while tackling the transphobic elements of Buffalo Bill and the impact it has had on the trans community in the

The Innocents (1961)
This week on the pod, we're headed back to Bly Manor with Jack Clayton's 1961 classic, The Innocents (see also: last year's Patreon episode on The Haunting of Bly Manor). This classic Gothic Horror film is reminiscent of Diabolique, Rebecca and The Haunting and has a strong queer connection thanks to screenwriter Truman Capote, whom we discuss at length, including Trace’s hatred of Holly Golightly. Plus: an influential 15th century picture book, Cinemascope challenges, the genesis of Austin Powe

Bride of Chucky (1998) feat. Kelly Gredner

Joining us for the discussion is Kelly Gredner, 1/2 of the Spinsters of Horror! Join us as we all go gaga for Tiffany's trailer (seriously, we want to live in it), praise Jennifer Tilly's perfect performance (and her spectacular outfits) and debate the pronunciation of the French word for "orgasm."

The Skulls (2000) feat. ImmortalGraves
We're in the mood for a trashy secret society thriller, which is too bad because Rob Cohen's The Skulls (2000) ain't it. Helping us overcome our amnesia about what exactly happens in this snooze fest is Twitch host extraordinaire Steffi (aka ImmortalGraves). Predictably things get a little silly as we tackle robot thesis projects, Leslie Bibb's career, and rich white people nonsense like rowing and lacrosse. Plus: Commemorative film tattoos, dumbwaiter horror, and ridiculous character names that

Joining us is super fan Greg Mucci, who has controversial franchise opinions, as well as helpful sexual dietary advice (you want spunk talk? Well, we're giving it to you!) Join us as we complain about the million characters, the missing gore and the lack of closure between Tina and Dr. Crews. Plus: the indestructible Ka

Scary Movie 2 (2001) feat. Ivotres Littles
Get your strong hands out because we're discussing our first full-blown parody with Keenen Ivory Wayans' 2001 crude spoof Scary Movie 2! Joining us for the discussion is "The Oprah of Horror" (and Horror Movies and Beyond host) Ivotres Littles!

Freeway (1996)
This week, in honor of trick baby Trace's birthday, we're delving into Matthew Bright's Freeway (1996), a "white trash" exploitation/rape revenge/little red riding hood genre mash-up starring a very foul mouthed Reese Witherspoon and predatory perv Kiefer Sutherland. Content warning: pedophilia, sexual assault, suicide and racism. We discuss the stacked cast, the line between satire, parody and offensive humor, and the film's surprisingly smart class critique.
