In this chilling episode, we take a deep dive into Frozen (2010), Adam Green’s brutal survival horror film about three friends stranded on a ski lift in deadly conditions. We discuss the film’s gripping tension, the terrifying realism of its premise, and the emotional weight of its characters’ struggle for survival. Plus, we explore how Frozen stands out in the survival horror genre and why it still sends shivers down our spines. Buckle up—this one’s a frostbitten nightmare you won’t forget!

"Roses are red, violets are blue, one is dead and so are you"

Love is in the air… and so is the sound of a pickaxe swinging. In this episode, we’re diving into the cult classic My Bloody Valentine (1981), the slasher that gave Valentine’s Day a terrifying twist. From its gory kills to its eerie mining town setting, we’ll explore what makes this Canadian horror flick a standout in the golden age of slashers. Was Harry Warden the ultimate holiday horror villain? How did censorship impact the film’s legacy? And why does this movie still hold a special place in horror fans’ hearts over 40 years later?

Grab your heart-shaped candy (or lock the doors), and join us for a deep dive into My Bloody Valentine!

On today's episode, I'm chatting with television and film writer, Joseph Dougherty about his new book, Rod Serling at 100: One Writer's Acknowledgment. Joe and I talk all about how he got started in the entertainment business, and a bit about his time on the TV show Thirtysomething and his experience writing the HBO Film, Cast A Deadly Spell.

We end up diving into talking about why the Twilight Zone, created by Rod Serling, is still so important after all these years and how this TV show and showrunner has influenced so many different horror and sci-fi authors, actors, directors, and more.

"Look, I'm just gonna go home and kill myself. You wanna share a cab?"

"So I can pass out and wake up *alone* on New Year's Day?"

On today's episode, we're closing out the year with an absolutely appropriate pick for New Year's Eve. This film has somewhat gone lost, but is deeply beloved by a lot of folks who have seen it and that is the MTV Film, 200 Cigarettes (1999)

This movie is full of a bunch of up-and-coming stars as they have one crazy NYE evening in New York City, and it's a fun, hangout type of film, in my opinion. This also has a super banging soundtrack filled with a bunch of 80s music. This film is worth a watch at this time of year, and I hope you enjoy my coverage of it!
