The Devil's Finger Food: The Dark and The Wicked
The Straker family is one that puts the "fun" in dysfunction as they manage life on the farm, now that it's been infiltrated by the devil.....with a little "D." Goats drop dead (sorry, no goat cheese!), Dad's in a coma, Mom starts chopping vegetables frantically including her own fingers, and siblings are told constantly that they shouldn't have come. Well, since Mom's cooking dropped off a bit and since Dad's nurse went and did that crazy thing with her knitting needles, we're inclined to agree as we talk carrots, devils, onions, family, cigarettes in coffee, breakfast cereal, beer, the Allie and Vanessa scream-o-meter, and we analyze the connections between food and horror in Bryan Bertino's oh-so-cheerful 2020 film The Dark and the Wicked. Join us, won't you? Just keep the goats at a safe distance and watch out for floating Mom corpses!

Let's Kill All The Lawyers: The Devil's Advocate
Ever heard the saying that the Devil is in the details? In this case, he's giving us Daddy issues as well as influencing what we eat, so if you enjoy your Popeyes chicken with a nice helping of demonic influence, if you've ever dreamed of being made love to by a devilish Keanu Reeves in the flames of hell, or if you simply want to enjoy seeing a nice piece of veal put on the stand as a piece of legal evidence, you'll enjoy our discussion about the 1997 film The Devil's Advocate and the book it's based on by the same name. So pour a bourbon or a tequila shot, munch down on a burger and some fries, and get ready to quote some scripture with us!

I Ain't Afraid of No Goat: Drag Me To Hell
What's a girl to do when she's trying to get a promotion and ends up getting cursed? Make a harvest cake? Consult a goat at a séance? We're talking baking, gender inequality, turkey club sandwiches with spicy mustard, Gypsy curses, body image and fat shaming, and most importantly, goats and harvest cake as we analyze the connection between food and horror in Sam Raimi's campy horror classic Drag Me To Hell.

Curry Me To Hell: Paranormal Activity and The Last Days of Jack Sparks by Jason Arnopp
Did you know that The Devil loves curry? Micah and Katie knew this but didn't offer him any, to their peril. And Jack Sparks, that social-media addict who traveled Britain on his pogo stick, made the mistake of uploading a paranormal video clip instead of a photo of his curry lunch in Hong Kong. What else do that found-footage classic film Paranormal Activity and the terrifying novel The Last Days of Jack Sparks have in common? Join us as we talk cameras, Catholic priests, demonic curses and of course, curry, in this week's episode. Many thanks to Giovanni Franceschini who read the book passages in this episode.

Satan Got Sauced: A Head Full of Ghosts
If you like your pasta with a side of demonic possession, your reality TV with a hefty dose of peanut butter crackers and family dysfunction, or your tomato sauce with a good helping of potassium cyanide, you'll love our discussion about Paul Tremblay's mind-bending novel A Head Full of Ghosts, which combines all of these elements into one genuinely horrifying book. Big thanks to the handsome, talented and intelligent Giovanni Franceschini, who read some of the book passages for this episode.
