After covering the Grindhouse double feature last year — trailers included, of course — we were primed and ready to get Thanksgiving (2023) on our schedule. Unfortunately, we came around to the idea just a few weeks too late… and this flick sort of feels like the kind you cover around the holiday it’s named for. Thankfully, 11 months later, the tim…

Heyyyy, bestie. How are you doing after the last few weeks? Feeling any better? Well, we weren’t when we recorded this episode. We were still processing some pretty bad news — but that’s actually sort of to theme. On our newest Spooky Tuesday, we’re talking about Smile (2022), a movie all about trauma and trying to grin-and-bear your way through it…

Spookies, it’s time for our second installment of WWVVSDE (Werewolf vs. Vampire Seasonal Depression Event), and we’re keeping the party going with Van Helsing (2004). When we realized that Sydney-palooza would bring our girl back to LA this October (if you happen to be wondering about our timeline or blissful ignorance of current events lol), we kn…

After last year’s Halloween Fifth Tuesday, many discussions were had about how to celebrate the occasion again in 2024 — but, ultimately, there was only one answer that everybody was definitely 100% on board about and excited for and agreed to without any trouble. Unanimously and in perfect unison, we all chose to revisit our shared childhoods with…

The promos for Terrifier 3 claim that Art the Clown is "practically as much of a horror icon as Michael, Jason, and Freddy," and based on what Monica and Sydney saw at Midsummer Scream, that just might be true. We had to check it out for ourselves — which is why we're kicking off Sydneypalooza by throwing it back to Terrifier (2016). This movie may…

Girl, it's so confusing sometimes to be a girl — especially when you inject yourself with a mysterious substance that splits you into two separate bodies. Such is the case with The Substance (2024), the latest body horror flick dominating the pop culture conversation. Starring Demi Moore and Margaret Qualley as Hollywood stars who are simultaneousl…

Can you believe that we haven't covered The Craft (1996) yet? Despite it being the inspiration behind our original Season 1 episode art, the (oc)cult classic never actually managed to make it onto our schedule. Now that we're in our fifth season, it finally felt like the right time. A Halloween must watch for witchy weirdos of all kinds, this flick…

A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors (1987): "Come and Get Me, Bitch" ft. Diandra Lazor
1:58:16
Can you believe we're kicking off our fifth year of Spooky Tuesday? It's like something out of a dream... which gave us an idea. For the premiere of our latest and greatest season yet, we decided it was time to let our wildest imaginations run away with us as we cover A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors (1987). But we knew we weren't prepar…

Don’t tell us you thought the double features were over! We’re having a two-movie Tuesweek extravaganza here at Spooky Tuesday, and given the fact that this is our Season 4 finale, it only felt right to go out with a bang. That’s why we knew we had to turn our Paranormal Activity (2009) episode into a movie marathon, especially since Paranormal Act…

When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade. And when the universe gives you a second birthday episode, you make it a double feature. Luckily, Chelsea knows just the right flicks to pick — and they happen to be on theme. Birthday-time-loop-slasher stories Happy Death Day (2017) and Happy Death Day 2U (2019) are best viewed back-to-back, and they'…

There's still time... to watch I Saw the TV Glow (2024) before this week's episode, Spookies. And it's sort of required viewing if you want to join us as we explore the neon, nostalgic world of Jane Schoenbrun's sophomore film. An unsettling slow-burn starring Justice Smith and Brigette Lundy-Paine with special guests Amber Benson, Fred Durst, and …

Spookies, we’ll ALWAYS know the joys of I Know What You Did Last ? SUMMER ?, but it’s time to put this theme event on ice — especially since the third movie moves to a little ski town in the off-season. Not the final film in a trilogy so much as a bonus flick in the franchise, I’ll Always Know What You Did Last Summer (2006) isn’t afraid to shake t…

We've hit a big milestone, Spookies! It's officially our 200th episode, and we wanted to do something special to celebrate. We weren't sure what, though, so we left our movie selection up to our listeners and Patrons, and they decided to throw it back to Scary Movie (2000). The Wayans family's parody flick took on some of the major horror franchise…

With the sequel coming out in just a few weeks, we decided it was time to revisit an old classic here at Spooky Tuesday. When Beetlejuice (1988) first hit theaters over 36 years ago, audiences fell instantly in love with the titular character — even though he was meant to be more of a disgusting villain than a charming rogue. In fact, he's become s…

The word on the street was that Longlegs (2024) would be the "scariest movie of the year," but does it live up to the hype? We decided to check out Neon's new release for ourselves here at Spooky Tuesday, and we're ready to discuss whether those Silence of the Lambs comparisons are truly holding up. Is Maika Monroe's Lee Harker giving Clarice? Does…

You can't get rid of us that easily, Spookies. We're not only back for more I Know What You Did Last ? SUMMER ?, we're all together and stronger than ever on our latest episode of Spooky Tuesday. This week, we're keeping our summer theme going with I Still Know What You Did Last Summer (1998), and we're celebrating in style by actually all being in…

Brr, it's cold in here, Spookies! And you know what that means: There simply MUST be some Toros in the atmosphere. It's time for another Fifth Tuesday bonus episode here at Spooky Tuesday, and we're tumbling head-first into the summer slumber party vibes. Break out your pom-poms and warm up your spirit fingers, because this week we're bringing it w…

It's the third film in a hot horror franchise AND it makes the hop to Hollywood, so the comparisons between MaXXXine (2024) and Scream 3 were inevitable — but are they a compliment or a criticism? In our latest episode of Spooky Tuesday, we're covering the newest (but perhaps not final) movie in Ti West's spooky saga starring Mia Goth. A direct seq…

Where were you that April if you weren't seeing Disturbia (2007) in theaters? It was the year of Shia, and a new creepy classic was emerging out of the mid-aughts. This flick is a quintessential millennial movie, an updated take on Hitchcock's Rear Window (though legally we should warn you that we're not speaking literally, because there's like leg…

They didn't put an extra ~camp~ in the title for nothing! Sleepaway Camp II: Unhappy Campers (1988) is the sequel that did the absolute most by doing the absolute least. What this movie lacks in plot, it makes up for in pizzazz — and "party hats" galore. Seriously, it has its own in-universe Tit Patrol, and business is booming at Camp Rolling Hills…

Stuck in that post-Pride slump?? Don't worry, Spookies, we've got just the thing to pick you right back up. If you're also feeling like it's been too long (one whole week!) since we last indulged in a themed event here at Spooky Tuesday, you'll be glad to hear we're keeping the party going with I Know What You Did Last ? SUMMER ?!!!!!! In case that…

This Pride Month, we've been messy. Toxic. Filthy. And now it's time to get a little... kinky. Grab your leather and your spikes, Spookies, because we're summoning the Cenobites with Hellraiser (1987). Written and directed by Clive Barker, the author of the original novella it was based on, this flick kicked off a major horror franchise — and it wa…

There really is no way to describe John Waters's work other than queer, which is why Pink Flamingos (1972) had to be our third Pride Month pick. An indie made on a shoe-string budget and starring drag icon Divine as the "filthiest person alive," this flick truly pushes the envelope, and it doesn't matter if we're talking poop, penises, or poultry. …

The Pride parade continues with our second pick of the month, and things are really heating up here at Spooky Tuesday. If you were worried this year's lineup wasn't queer enough, then you can put those fears to bed and wake them up with an egg-white omelet, because Love Lies Bleeding (2024) is dangerously gay and disgustingly sexy. Featuring Kriste…

Happy Pride Month, Spookies!!!! It's officially time for us to be our best, most canonically queer selves, and we're kicking off this year's line-up with a supernatural classic: Interview with the Vampire (1994). If you're not watching the TV show, you totally should be, but first we have to pay our dues to the OG Lestat de Lioncourt. Tom Cruise is…

Of course we saved the best for last for Mommy Issues May! For our latest theme month's grand finale, there was only one real option for what to cover, and we knew we wanted to do it up right. That's why we invited some new friends to join us for a stay at the Bates Motel as we talk with Spooky Chicks & Horror Flicks about all things Psycho (1960).…

Would a month-long slate dedicated to horror movie mothers be complete without Rosemary's Baby (1968)? In keeping with the mommies-with-issues aspect of Mommy Issues May, this week's Spooky Tuesday is all about the Mia Farrow flick and the legacy it has left behind. This film has had a massive influence on the genre — and it's also been associated …

When we realized we were going to have the chance to record another in-person episode during one of Sydney’s LA visits, we knew we had to choose our movie with care — but we’re not sure Brahms: The Boy II (2020) met us with the same love. Though its predecessor was one of our most hotly-debated episodes way back in Season 1, we knew the sequel woul…

It's so unfair that we only celebrate mommies one day out of the whole year, so we here at Spooky Tuesday are taking the initiative to up the ante. This month, we're proud to present Mommy Issues May, a four-week slate of episodes dedicated both to mommies with issues and those who have issues with their mommies (because we're inclusive like that).…

Do you know what time of year it is, Spookies? It's the fifth Tuesday of April — and the last Tuesday before May. If you know what that means, then you and Chelsea must seriously be on the same wavelength, because this week's episode of Spooky Tuesday has been years in the making. In honor of the bonus episode slot that happens to fall before the f…

The 1970s version might not have Nic Cage, but The Wicker Man (1973) has everything else. Nudity? Check. Singing? Check. Ancient Pagan rituals, haunted candle hands, and all the canned food you could dream of? Check, check, check! What more could you want, really? Well, if you're main character Sergeant Neil Howie, probably to lead a good Christian…

Late Night with the Devil (2024) is making waves as the newest found-footage, real-time feature in horror, but does it live up to the hype? And what’s up with that AI art controversy? We sat down in front of our TV sets to see what the deal was for ourselves, but we think we might’ve gotten a little sleepy halfway through — or did anyone else hallu…

Remember that pigeon pin we put in our Possession episode? Well, we’re ready to circle back to that, because we’re noticing some similar themes between that movie and what we’re covering this week. On a new Spooky Tuesday, we’re venturing back into the woods with Honeymoon (2014), Leigh Janiak’s directorial debut starring Rose Leslie and Harry Trea…

It's no trick (and not just because April Fools' Day was yesterday): We really are doing Jurassic Park (1993) on our latest episode. Though many have questioned whether or not the Steven Spielberg classic technically counts as horror, we're ready to put the matter to bed, tuck it in tight, and wish it sweet dinosaur dreams... or at least terrifying…

First things first: Everyone say, "Happy Birthday, Monica!" For our special girl's special day, we decided to do a very special film. This week on Spooky Tuesday, we're covering Possession (1981), the video nasty that made waves at Cannes... and then promptly got stuck in the vault. Starring Isabelle Adjani and Sam Neill as a couple whose marriage …

Did anyone else just get the strangest craving for pizza? We could use a little snack here at Spooky Tuesday, especially since we've got nothing to do for the rest of the night besides play the harpsichord, try on other people's glasses, and snoop through this big old house while babysitting some old lady. Oh, yeah — and we're watching The House of…

Whom among us hasn't considered answering a Craigslist ad for a little extra cash? Sure, there's always a risk that things might get weird, but what could really go wrong? Just kidding. We've seen the Lifetime movie about the Craigslist killer — and now we've also seen Creep (2014). The ultimate in low-budget horror, this found footage story shows …

We know it’s only Tuesday, but could you tell us we’re your favorite podcast in the world? We think we need you to say it every morning from now on, especially this week while we cover Death Becomes Her (1992). This goofy black comedy features Oscar winners Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn as passionate frenemies — and Oscar-winning special effects whe…

Obsession Month may be almost over, but if Lisa Frankenstein (2024) has taught us anything, it's that not even death is permanent. For our last episode all about love that crosses the line, we knew we had to cover Diablo Cody's new horror romance. Starring scream queen Kathryn Newton and a nearly mute Cole Sprouse (possibly the ideal Cole Sprouse),…

Do you have what it takes to be a staurrrr? We're ready to be discovered here at Spooky Tuesday — and so is a certain little farm girl who knows how to dream big and smile even bigger. No one loves her more than herself, though, and that's what makes Pearl (2022) the perfect pick for Obsession Month. On our newest episode, we're talking about the X…

Would it even be legal to do Obsession Month without putting Obsessed (2009) on the lineup? We knew we had to include this movie as soon as we came up with February's theme, and it doesn't disappoint. Or, uh, it actually might if what you're looking for is a horror flick that inspires genuine fear, but if all you need is Queen Bey, a little camp, a…

February is all about the romance — and when you combine that with horror, too often you end up with something that looks a little more toxic. That’s why we’re dedicating these next few weeks to all things Obsession, and we know just how to kick this theme month off. This week on Spooky Tuesday, we’re covering Misery (1990), the Kathy Bates classic…

Is this week a Fifth Tuesday? Is Saltburn (2023) a horror movie? Spookies, those questions are more for you than for us — but we do have a lot to say this week. Like, A LOT. Somehow, without really meaning to, we accidentally talked for almost three whole hours about Emerald Fennell’s newest film (and actually, if you count the bits that we cut out…

It's that time of year again — Matthew Lillard's birthday!!! We knew we had to celebrate our spooky king in style, and we had just the movie to help us do it. A long-awaited adaptation of a much-beloved video game franchise, Five Nights at Freddy's (2023) made quite the stir when it hit theaters last fall. We don't know about you, but our social me…

Forget the beach that makes you old — it's all about the pool that haunts you. Orrr maybe not? Night Swim (2024) is the recent release that made more of a ripple than a splash. Starring Wyatt Russell and Kerry Condon, this flick has been a little divisive among audiences. Is it the kid horror movie we need? Or did it get caught into the PG-13 trap?…

It's more than a little unfortunate that when you ask someone if they've seen Frozen (2010), you have to first clarify that you don't mean the Disney princess movie. Once they ~let it go~, though, they just might discover that this flick is worth a watch in its own right. On a new episode of Spooky Tuesday, we're hitting the slopes to find out what…

If what you wanted for Christmas was a whole bunch of jokes about male genitalia, well, you must've been a very good little Spooky this year! For our latest installment of B-cember — and our last episode of Spooky Tuesday until 2024 — we decided to spice up the season with Santa's Slay (2005), a holiday horror featuring wrestling star Goldberg as J…

Ready for more B-cember, Spookies? Well, you'd better be, because for our second week of B movie December, we're going bigger and better than ever.

Featuring a ton of your favorite celebrities and with a whole bunch of spoof trailers sprinkl…

It's a B-cember to Remember here at Spooky Tuesday! To finish the year in festive fashion, we decided to do one last lil theme month and dedicate December to B horror movies, so of course we had to start with a classic. Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954) may have marked the end of the monster movie era, but it laid the ground work for a whole bu…
