We're back! Yet again! Apologies for another long absence, and a sincere thank you to all of our listeners who reached out in the interim. We'll get into more details on where we've been in the next episode, but we weren't going to miss our annual Doug Jones Day celebration. This year it was Jacob's turn to pick the movie, and after picking LEGION a few years back, this year he chose another movie that features both Doug Jones and Charles Dutton: MIMIC from director Guillermo Del Toro! We should be back with another episode in late July, but we hope you enjoy our fifth annual Doug Jones episode.

It's our very first comic book episode! Although we've reviewed several movie adaptations of comics in previous episodes (SWAMP THING, BLADE, CONSTANTINE, etc), we're delighted to review our first comic miniseries on the podcast: NIGHT OF THE GHOUL from writer Scott Snyder and artist Francesco Francavilla. We get into what prompted our first comic review during the review, but this was a delight to record and we're so excited to welcome a special guest back to our pod: Jeremiah Jones-Goldstein! If you haven't read the comic miniseries from Best Jackett Press yet, you can read digital versions via Comixology / Amazon Prime, but we absolutely encourage you to pick up either the single issues or the trade paperback versions from your local comic shop.

David was our first appeared on our pod way back in our SHE DIES TOMORROW episode, and now a few years later he's back to discuss the horror anthology he has curated for Dark Matter Ink: HAUNTED REELS! We talk a bit about our favorite horror movie anthologies along the way, but mainly we're here to celebrate the release of a very special collection. David's assembled an amazing lineup of contributors that includes several creators we've talked about on the pod before (Justin Benson, Aaron Moorhead, Ariel Vida, C.

Please join us in wishing a happy house-warming to our host Nick Leamy! Nick detailed some of the home-buying headaches he and his family were dealing with back in our SPOOKIES episode, but that's all been settled and everyone's settling into a lovely new home. To celebrate this, we asked Nick to pick a movie to celebrate and he chose the original THE AMITYVILLE HORROR (1979), from director Stuart Rosenberg and starring Margot Kidder, James Brolin and Rod Steiger. Our opinions run a pretty wide spectrum on this one, which made for a fun discussion and we really hope everyone enjoys listening! Also, as mentioned in the episode's intro, with the current WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes ongoing we highly encourage everyone to consider donating to the Entertainment Community Fund to help those affected by work stoppages: https://entertainmentcommunity.org/how-get-help-and-give-help-during-work-stoppage If you'd like to follow us on social media, we just updated our Linktree page (linked below) but we've also listed some of our social media handles below: Linktree: https://linktr.ee/scarystuff Official site: scarystuffpodcast.com Twitter: @scarystuffpod Instagram: @scarystuffpodcast Letterboxd: @scarystuffpod Incredibly Niche Merch: teepublic.com/user/scary-stuff-podcast You can find a list of all the previous movies we've reviewed and their corresponding episodes (via the "Read Notes" option) here: https://letterboxd.com/scarystuffpod/list/all-reviews-scary-stuff-podcast/ And as always, thanks so much for listening!

Happy Doug Jones Day everybody! It's our fourth year in a row celebrating our favorite horror holiday: the anniversary of the day Doug Jones worked on the set of Mike Flanagan's movie ABSENTIA. This year we're celebrating by watching THE DARKLING (2000), a USA original tv movie starring F Murray Abraham and Aidan Gillen (and of course Doug Jones, in the role of "Shadow Master"). As of this release the movie is a little difficult to track, but don't worry if you haven't seen it: we walk through the movie's plot as part of the discussion. This was a real blast to record, but we're always delighted to celebrate Doug Jones Day each year. We hope you enjoy the episode, and thanks so much for listening!!

Our not-quite-lost-but-certainly-long-delayed review of BEHIND THE MASK: THE RISE OF LESLIE VERNON (2006) is here! As mentioned in our SPOOKIES review, we recorded this episode back in January, but wanted to come back from hiatus with something else before this episode was released. Big thanks to everyone who voted for this movie in our Robert Englund poll, and apologies for the delay! Up next is our fourth annual "Doug Jones Day" episode, and we're very excited for everyone to check it out. We'll be reviewing THE DARKLING, a USA tv-movie from the year 2000 starring Aidan Gillen and F. Murray Abraham.

We're back! Apologies for the unplanned hiatus, but we give an update on where we've been at the start of this return episode. After that, we're reviewing the movie SPOOKIES (1986), which is currently available on Shudder as of this release. If you want to skip straight to the movie stuff, the timecode for that is 00:18:58. We haven't forgotten about our previously announced episode for BEHIND THE MASK: THE RISE OF LESLIE VERNON. We recorded that back in January, but we didn't want it to be our first episode back after some time away. The BEHIND THE MASK episode should be out just before Doug Jones Day hits on June 30th!

Happy (very-belated) Holidays everyone!! It has been a bit of a rough month for all three of us here at the pod (some of these reasons are mentioned in the episode), so we knew going into this recording there was a good chance it wouldn't be out before Christmas. Sadly that proved to be the case, but we're glad the episode was finished in time for the end of 2022. And we're even more delighted to be reviewing another feature starring Jeremy Gardner (alongside Graham Skipper, Taylor Zaudtke and Rigo Garay) on the pod: THE LEECH (2022) from writer/director Eric Pennycoff! Our host Eric first saw the movie at this year's Chattanooga Film Fest, and has been looking forward to covering it on the pod ever since. Unfortunately the fore-mentioned rough month lead to this being more of a rambling/cathartic episode than we intended, but hopefully we're closing out 2022 on an entertaining note. We absolutely encourage everyone to check out the movie (currently available on VOD, blu-ray and the Arrow streaming service) before listening to this episode. Again, happy holidays everyone and thanks so much for listening!! CW: abortion, suicide (both of which are elements of the movie and are likewise discussed in this review)

One year to the day since we started our Elm Street restrospective, we're concluding it with our review of the Platinum Dunes remake of A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET (2010)! We've been teasing our opinions of this movie ever since we reviewed the first one, so we were very excited to finally record this discussion. We had a terrific time reviewing the Elm Street series, and this movie was no exception. We hope everyone enjoys the episode, and as always thanks so much for listening!!

It's time to tackle another true horror classic on our podcast, and hopefully we "did it beautifully!" Ahead of the release of his new comic DEAD SEAS from IDW, we're delighted to be joined by writer Cavan Scott to discuss his favorite horror movie: THE WICKER MAN (1973)! We've been fans of Cavan's work on Titans United, Shadow Service and more for quite some time now, so it was a real thrill to have him on the pod as a guest. We had a fabulous time discussing this film, and we very much hope everyone enjoys listening to it. You can find more details on Cavan's work in both comics and prose via his website here: https://cavanscott.com/ And as always, thanks for listening!!
