A moody vampire wakes up in a donut shop, the mob runs out of henchmen, and David Cronenberg delivers the most quotable line in the movie. We took the listener-suggested Blood and Donuts for a spin and found a late-night oddity that’s equal parts fog machine, love story, and lo-fi punchline—and somehow never fully commits to any of them.

Ep. 109: Michael Cooney's "Jack Frost" (1997)

What if you could get a front row seat on a journey through the best and worst horror movies of the past half-century, all rated on Rotten Tomatoes? Brace yourself for an eerie tour with your hosts, Chad Campbell, Mike Carron, and Sam Schreiner, as they dissect each film with a surgeon's precision and a fan's passion. Our story began on a mundane work day, when two colleagues, Chad and Mike, decided to start a podcast centered on their shared love for horror films. The search for a genre was a winding, convoluted exploration of possibilities, before we arrived at the chilling idea of horror films.Our journey didn’t stop there. We had to figure out where to begin, how to categorize each film, and the scale to use for our rating system. We landed on a year-by-year review of the best and the worst films, starting from 1970 - the dawn of modern horror. Our shows come packed with a variety of categories like First Impressions, Tropes Hall of Shame, One-liners, and more. We also rate each film on a watchability scale, advising if it's worth your precious time. Join us as we sometimes agree, and other times disagree with Rotten Tomatoes' ratings. So, fasten your seat belts, it's going to be a spooky ride!&nbsp;Head to www.screamsandstreams.com for links and information related to our episodes.
