Mista Malave is BACK, joining Tommy James and Sabrina Ace for another round of YOU ONLY GET 10!

This time, we're revisiting the non horror movies and scenes that scared the absolute hell out of us growing up. From The Dark Crystal to Who Framed Roger Rabbit, each host brings 10 nominations, but only 10 movies can make the final box set!

Expect childhood trauma, hilarious confessions, questionable picks, and plenty of arguments.

The Horror Hype Train is back, and so is Big Money Eddie.

Tommy James, Sabrina Ace, and Eddie break down the upcoming horror movies they’re most excited for, including Other Mommy, They Follow, Slayground, Wolf Creek: Legacy, and Robert Eggers’ Werwulf.

Which ones deserve the hype, which could go horribly wrong, and where could they eventually land in the Five Houses of Night School Horror?

Tommy James and Sabrina Ace finally made it into the fog for Halloween Horror Nights 35... and had two VERY different nights.

We're talking the houses we loved, the ones that disappointed the hell out of us, way too many clowns, Sabrina's drunken bachelorette/birthday celebration, Tommy's mom getting her ass kicked by scare actors, and one hell of a tribute to Ozzy Osbourne.

Darkness Falls gave us one of the creepiest openings of the early 2000s...and then had another hour to fill.

Tommy and Sabrina go back to the killer Tooth Fairy movie that somehow made both of their Guilty Pleasure Horror lists. We talk about what still works, what definitely doesn’t, sort it into one of the Five Houses, and Tommy explains how this movie may have ruined a perfectly good Valentine’s Day.

Halloween Horror Nights is back, so before we step into the fog, Tommy and Sabrina are making their predictions.

We’re talking most anticipated houses, biggest concerns, food, scare zones, and everything we’re looking forward to at HHN 2026.

Plus, Tommy has a completely reasonable plan to become best friends with Michael B. Jordan.

Every Horror Fan Belongs Somewhere.

Tommy and Sabrina officially reveal the Five Houses of Night School Horror: Ink, Smoke, Shadow, Blood, and Ember.

We break down what each House represents, start sorting some of our favorite horror movies, and immediately realize some of these are going to cause arguments.

So...what’s your House?

Sabrina Ace has a new game, and Tommy James gets to be the first victim.

Welcome to Make It Horror, where perfectly innocent movies are thrown onto the wheel and forced into a horror subgenre. Tommy has to transform Jurassic Park into a cult movie and take The Cable Guy from already creepy to full-blown horror, while Sabrina decides whether his pitches actually work.

Hazbin Hotel gave us banger after banger... but only one song can graduate at the top of the class.

Tommy James, Sabrina Ace, and Mr. A-Town Ryan throw every major song from Season 1 into a bracket and argue their way to a single winner. From Poison and Loser Baby to Hell's Greatest Dad, Respectless, Happy Day in Hell, and more, no matchup is easy, every vote hurts, and yes... Tommy even recruits a surprise tie-breaker when things get out of hand.

If you've ever screamed, "There's no way THAT song should've won!"... this episode is for you.

You only get 10 guilty pleasure horror movies for the rest of your life. What are you keeping?

Tommy and Sabrina bring You Only Get 10 over from I Killed My Tamagotchi and attempt to build the ultimate guilty pleasure horror box set.

Only 10 movies make it in...and yes, we're judging each other's picks.

Obsession had us questioning every relationship we’ve ever seen...and maybe a few of our own.

Tommy, Sabrina, and Mr. A-Town get into one of the weirdest horror movies we’ve watched this year, including one scene that had Alex text yelling, “What the fuck?!”

Plus, Tommy’s Therapy Session might make you think twice before wishing for love.

Something about these Deadites just isn’t right.

Tommy and Sabrina get into Evil Dead Burn and try to figure out why the Deadites suddenly forgot how to be Deadites, why the lore seems to change whenever it needs to, and whether we somehow missed a few pages of the Necronomicon.

This isn’t our Deadite.

Before Evil Dead Burn, Tommy and Sabrina are going back through the Necronomicon and ranking the entire Evil Dead franchise from worst to best.

We’re talking our history with the movies, plenty of Bruce Campbell, and why Evil Dead 2 is still so damn hard to beat.

Shop smart. Shop S-Mart.

Welcome to the Season 1 Finale, Hazbin Hotelians!!!

Today's Lesson: Episode 8 — The Show Must Go On

For the Season 1 finale, Alex A-Town Ryan takes over the teacher's desk as he, Tommy James, and Sabrina Ace break down one of the biggest episodes of the series. From Lucifer finally reminding everyone why he's the King of Hell to Sir Pentious stealing the class's hearts one last time, the crew dives into the finale's biggest moments, the emotional payoffs that had no business hitting that hard, and the battle that changed everything.

Along the way, the class debates Charlie's growth, Alastor's first real setback, whether redemption finally has proof it can work, and why this finale leaves more questions than answers. Plus, A-Town finally reaches graduation day... which means he can stop avoiding spoilers and immediately enroll in Season 2.

Welcome back, Hazbin Hotelians... Mista Malave is still missing, so we've officially stopped filing the paperwork.

Today's Lesson: Episode 7 — Hello Rosie!

This week, Tommy James, Sabrina Ace, and Alex A-Town Ryan head to Cannibal Town, where the smiles are warm, the tea is fresh, and the finger foods are... well, best not to ask. The class breaks down Rosie's scene-stealing debut, Alastor's increasingly suspicious master plan, Charlie finally embracing her role as a leader, and Vaggie's unforgettable training with Carmilla Carmine. Along the way, the gang debates whether "Out for Love" is one of the strongest songs of the season, why everyone seems to have a Susan in their life, and whether Hello Rosie! should've been called something else entirely.

With Mr. A-Town counting down the minutes until he can finally start Season 2, this episode serves as the calm before the storm. The pieces are finally in place, the hotel is preparing for war, and class is almost dismissed... but the final exam is about to begin.

Welcome back, Hazbin Hotelians…It's time to grab your halos because we are heading to HEAVEN!

Today’s lesson: Episode 6: Welcome To Heaven:

Charlie and Vaggie finally make their trip to Heaven to plead the case for redemption, but what starts as a guided tour through fluffy koalas, rainbow sprinkles, and Darren Criss singing about the perfect afterlife quickly turns into a heavenly courtroom drama. Meanwhile back in Hell, Angel Dust, Husk, Cherry Bomb, and the newly crowned fan-favorite Sir Pentious hit the club scene, where Pentious proves that awkward rizz may be dead... but buying shots for everyone is apparently eternal.

Join Tommy James, Sabrina Ace, and Mr. A-Town Ryan as they discuss the long-awaited arrival of Cherry Bomb, the shocking truth about Vaggie, Adam's completely made-up rules for getting into Heaven, Emily's Disney Princess energy, and one of the most important songs in the entire series, You Didn't Know. Plus, A-Town officially apologizes to Sir Pentious after spending most of Season 1 underestimating the snake king.

Class is in session, Heaven is under review, and somebody really did buy shots for everybody!

Welcome back, Hazbin Hotelians...At this point, Mista Malave has officially vanished. No note. No phone call. No excuse. The faculty has reviewed the situation and unanimously agreed to give him a big ol' F.

Today's Lesson: Episode 5 — Dad Beat Dad:

Tommy James keeps the semester rolling alongside Sabrina Ace and Mr. A-Town Ryan, who immediately confesses that he cracked under pressure and watched Episode 6 ahead of schedule. The man's supposed to be taking this class one episode at a time and instead he's speed running the curriculum.

This week, we check into one of Hazbin Hotel's biggest episodes yet as Lucifer Morningstar finally arrives at the hotel. Most people picture the Devil as some giant terrifying ruler of Hell. Instead, we got a short king with crippling self-esteem issues, an unhealthy obsession with ducks, and enough charisma to make everyone forget he's literally Satan.

We break down Lucifer's relationship with Charlie, his pissing match with Alastor that leads to the musical showdown that is "Hell's Greatest Dad." A song that somehow feels like Disney got drunk, wandered into Hell, and started writing diss tracks.

Also discussed:

• Sabrina's completely unbiased and definitely not concerning admiration for Lucifer

• Lucifer proving that confidence and insecurity can somehow exist in the exact same sentence

• Mr. A-Town accidentally becoming a Hazbin addict

• Tommy once again finding a way to compare something to Disney

Between family drama, giant egos, musical numbers, back flipping ducks, and one of the best character introductions in the series, this episode proves that Hell isn't run by the biggest demon in the room...it's run by the loudest one.

Welcome back, Hazbin Hotelians…Mista Malave skipped class again. Honestly, at this point Charlie’s gonna stop offering redemption and just charge him a late checkout fee.

Today’s lesson: Episode 4 - Masquerade:

Tommy James takes the wheel while Sabrina Ace and Mr. A-Town Ryan break down one of the realest episodes in Hazbin Hotel so far. Under all the neon lights, jokes, drinks, and hotel lobby nonsense, this episode hits way harder than expected.

We dive into Angel Dust finally letting the mask slip, Husk becoming the exhausted hotel bartender/therapist nobody asked for, and why “Poison” might be one of the most uncomfortable songs in the series once you actually listen to the lyrics instead of just vibing to it on TikTok.

From the emotional damage hidden behind the performances to the weirdly honest message behind “Loser, Baby,” we break down the trauma, character growth, symbolism, and why this episode feels less like a cartoon and more like a therapy session Hell forgot to bill insurance for.

Welcome back, Hazbin Hotelians. Class is back in session as Night School Horror continues its descent through Hazbin Hotel one episode at a time. Unfortunately, Mista Malave decided to cut class again…which feels a little Respectless if you ask us.

Today’s lesson: Episode 3 — Scrambled Eggs:

Florida’s Favorite Creep Sabrina Ace continues leading Tommy James and Mr. A-Town Ryan deeper into the chaos of the Hazbin universe as the group breaks down trust, loyalty, and why Velvette is the backbone of the Vees. Tommy also refuses to let go of the idea that Rosie Perez would’ve been the perfect voice for Velvette, while Mr. A-Town continues his growing appreciation for Hell’s most disrespectful influencer.

Most importantly though…we jam out to Respectless. Easily one of the strongest songs we’ve heard so far, and the kind of track that reminds you this show somehow balances Broadway-level music with absolute degeneracy.

Check in, grab a drink from the hotel bar from Husk, and enjoy another session of Hazbin Hotel therapy…

Welcome back, Hazbin Hotelians. After a brief hiatus for Mother’s Day and the internationally unrecognized holiday known as Tommy James Day, Night School Horror is back in session to continue dragging Mr. A-Town Ryan and Mista Malave deeper into the beautifully unhinged world of Hazbin Hotel.

Unfortunately, Mista Malave had to cut class this week… but don’t worry, the man still did his homework using ChatGPT.

Today’s lesson: Episode 2 – Radio Killed the Video Star:

Mr. A-Town breaks down the episode’s story setup, shares how he’s feeling about the show so far, and faces the most important question of all: will he officially joined the Sir Pentious fan club?

Hell’s getting weirder, the songs are still stuck in our heads, and class is officially back in session.

Hold onto your halos—your devil horns are already screwed on tight. Night School Horror is heading straight into Hazbin Hotel, and yeah… we’re doing the whole damn thing, episode by episode.

In this series, Sabrina Ace (Florida’s Favorite Creep) and Tommy James (The Movie Guy Bay Bay) drag Mathew Malave and the king of television, Alex A-Town Ryan, through a fiery crash course in demons, redemption, and aggressively catchy musical numbers. A-Town is going in blind, watching each episode ahead of recording so you get that fresh, unfiltered reaction, while the rest of us try not to ruin what’s coming next.

Today’s lesson: Episode 1 – Overture:
We break down the characters, the chaos, and the music. Malave and A-Town weigh in early as we attempt to convert them to the Hazbin cause.

Class is in session. Hell’s waiting....

Florida’s Favorite Creep Sabrina Ace and The Evil Barbie Edy head straight into the worst tourist trap in America: Derry, Maine — where balloons float, morals don’t, and Pennywise is basically the HOA president.

The duo tears into Welcome to Derry, dissecting how this prequel ties back to IT, why the town itself should be declared a biohazard, and which characters desperately need therapy, relocation, or both. They dive into the messy friendship drama, the racial tension baked into the story, Marge’s struggle to fit in, and Lily’s ongoing commitment to making terrible life choices.

They also break down the personalized fears haunting the group, the questionable military involvement (because of course the government shows up late and confused), and the moment Pennywise steps onto the scene to remind everyone why Derry never has a full graduating class.

The Grabber is back...and apparently death only made him grabbier.

Mista Malave and Sabrina take on The Black Phone 2 and talk missing kills, Freddy Krueger vibes, Gwen taking over the spotlight, and whether The Grabber really needed another phone call.

Apparently, everything in horror comes back to Ed Gein.

The crew get into Monster: The Ed Gein Story, how much of it was actually true, the liberties Netflix took, and the very real influence Gein had on some of horror’s biggest movies.

And apparently Tommy really needs to talk about “Owner of a Lonely Heart” by YES.

Tommy James and Big Money Eddie put on their hazmat suits and wade through the radioactive mess that was the Alien Earth finale. Spoiler alert: it sucked. From limp storytelling and cardboard “character arcs” to the ever-present fingerprints of corporate greed, our boys dissect how Hollywood once again proved it can milk a franchise until it’s bone-dry. Along the way, they chew over the role of horror in the Alien universe, gush (and gag) about the beauty of the xenomorph design.  In the end, the lesson is clear: if you’re a Hollywood writer, maybe stop writing like your audience has the memory span of a goldfish.

Indy’s a good boy, Todd.

Tommy, Sabrina, and Mista Malave get into Good Boy, a horror movie told through the eyes of a dog that hit us way harder than we expected.

We talk Indy, that ending, and how a movie about a haunted house and a dog somehow turned into an existential crisis.

Seriously though...Indy’s a good boy.

Good Boy will be releasing in USA Cinemas on October 3rd and UK Cinemas from October 10th

FB: @VertigoReleasingUK | IG: @vertigoreleasing | TW: @VertigoRel / TT: @vertigoreleasing | https://www.vertigoreleasing.com

A loyal dog moves to a rural family home with his owner Todd, only to discover supernatural forces lurking in the shadows. As dark entities threaten his human companion, the brave pup must fight to protect the one he loves most.

Strap in, students, Tommy James and Big Money Eddie are back in session, and this time they’re dissecting episodes 5 and 6 of Alien Earth. Yes, the show where corporate greed is scarier than the monsters, pacing issues move slower than a Xenomorph on Ambien, and somehow… the aliens are the ones we feel bad for.

The boys wade through philosophical plant life, identity crises, and the looming “machines rise up” subplot that absolutely no one asked for, but we’re all here for anyway. Predictions fly, shade is thrown, and somewhere in the chaos Tommy proves that the scariest thing in the universe might just be his inability to pronounce Timothy Olyphant. (Offright? Oaf-lint? Who knows?)

At this point, the Warrens are basically the Kardashians of horror.

Tommy and Mista Malave get into The Conjuring: Last Rites, the Smurl case, what worked, what didn’t, and whether it was actually a fitting end for the Warrens.

Plus, we rank the entire Conjuring Universe...and we're definitely not agreeing on all of it.

On this episode of Night School Horror, Tommy James and Big Money Eddie sink their teeth into the indie horror-comedy Draculaw. They pick apart its charm, budgetary bruises, and that whole “time as an energy vampire” thing—because nothing says horror like losing a weekend to deadlines. From pacing quirks to soundtrack surprises, the hosts balance praise with playful stabs of criticism, proving once again that low-budget doesn’t mean low-bite.

Class is in session, and this week Tommy James and Big Money Eddie crack open the latest episode of Alien: Earth. The boys question whether the franchise is boldly going… or just cashing checks. From creepy kid characters to corporate overlords, from AI asking “do you love me?” to the soundtrack making sure you do, nothing escapes detention. Expect talk of cyborg xenomorph nightmares, real-world capitalism bleeding into sci-fi, and whether Timothy Olyphant just graduated top of the class.

Apparently Portland loves Naruto running and Tommy’s Aunt Edna really hates sticks.

Tommy and Sabrina are joined by Edy (@fieryfinalgirl) to talk Weapons, horror obsessions, a little Halloween Horror Nights, and whatever the hell was going on with Aunt Gladys.

Seriously...why was she breaking all those damn sticks?

Your Favorite Movie Therapist and The Cigarette Smoking Man crack open Episode 3 of Alien Earth “Metamorphosis.” We mourn the surprisingly anticlimactic death of Ashley the Xenomorph, while also celebrating the glorious comeback of acid blood, the franchise’s most reliable supporting character. Timothy Olyphant continues to add depth and swagger, while the hybrids keep things messy, weird, and fascinating in all the best soap-opera-from-space ways.

From Peter Pan parallels to philosophical callbacks that scream Prometheus, this episode serves up big ideas—and even bigger WTF moments. Wendy’s "transformation" raises some serious questions, the facehugger reclaims its throne as plot MVP. Bottom line: the show promises even more bizarre, exciting revelations ahead… whether we’re ready or not.

And hey! Do you think Timothy Olyphant is as amazing as we do? If so, enroll at Night School Horror, drop us a 5-star rating, and we’ll see if he’ll show up to your birthday party. (No promises, but we’ll bring the acid blood cake.)

In this episode of Night School Horror, your Favorite Movie Therapist Tommy James and The Cigarette Smoking Man Big Money Eddie spark up and sink their teeth into the first two episodes of Alien: Earth. We break down the tension, the gore, the melodrama and yes, the kind of genre-mashing that feels like a facehugger showed up to prom uninvited.

We chart the evolution of the Xenomorph (who we've now named Ashley), debate the best kills so far, and wonder out loud if this series actually knows where it’s going. Spoiler: Tommy and Eddie are locked in for the whole season, so light a candle for them.

And remember...if you want Ashley the Xenomorph to skip you on her next hug tour, just enroll at Night School Horror, hit us with a 5-star rating, and we’ll put in a good word.

Apparently couples therapy is a lot cheaper than fusing your bodies together.

Tommy and Sabrina get into Together, the relationship at the center of it, the cult weirdness, and why a movie sold to us as some insane body horror experience left us wanting a lot more body horror.

At least Dave Franco and Alison Brie understood the assignment.

Tommy and Mista Malave go back to the original I Know What You Did Last Summer before taking on the new one.

We’re talking what made the original work, what the new movie got wrong, the kills, those legacy cameos, and whether this franchise really needed another trip with the Fisherman.

Plus, we take a minute to talk about Ozzy Osbourne and what he meant to horror.

How did we go from Jurassic Park to...weaponized locusts?

Tommy and Sabrina go through the entire Jurassic Park franchise and try to figure out where things started going wrong.

Raptors. Invisible dinosaurs. Chris Pratt’s hand. The damn locusts.

Life, uh...finds a way.

Who’s holding the damn camera?

Big Money Eddie and Sabrina Ace get into found footage horror, what makes it work, what absolutely doesn’t, and some of their favorites from the genre.

From V/H/S to shaky cameras, questionable decisions, and the movies that probably should’ve stayed lost...just keep the camera rolling.

What if some of our favorite songs were actually horror movies?

Tommy James and Mista Malave take songs from Amy Winehouse, ABBA, Styx, The Animals, and more and figure out how we’d turn them into horror.

Some become slashers. Some get supernatural. And somehow Jordan Peele gets dragged into this.

Death is back, and apparently we’re dumb enough to get on the bus.

Tommy and Sabrina get into Final Destination: Bloodlines, that insane MRI scene, experiencing it in 4DX, and why this might be one of the strongest Final Destination movies in years.

Plus, we talk about Tony Todd, his legacy, and why seeing him one more time hit a little differently.

Welcome to Final Destionomics—your crash course (sometimes literally) in the twisted economics of the Final Destination franchise. In this rigorously unaccredited class, Professors Sabrina Ace, Tommy James, and Big Money Eddie break down Death’s most extra moments: exploding planes, rogue logs, killer gymnastics, and tanning beds hotter than Florida in July.

In this session, we study Death like it’s trying to graduate summa cum laude in irony. Why does it love chain reactions? Why is it obsessed with Rube Goldberg machines of doom? Why does every minor inconvenience lead to an OSHA violation?

This is our final class before Summer Camp begins, so take notes, dodge signs, and maybe don’t drink water from strange places.

Homework: Enroll, rate us 5 stars, and stay paranoid, because in Final Destination, even your dishwasher hates you.

Class is in full freakin’ session, and today’s lesson plan is simple: talk trash, slap buzzers, and try not to embarrass yourself on horror trivia’s blood-soaked battlefield. To celebrate 10 years of Second Rounds On Us, Night School Horror turns Jeopardy into a contact sport, with Tommy James moderating the madness like a sleep-deprived substitute teacher with nothing to lose. Sabrina Ace and Big Money Eddie go head-to-head in a no-syllabus showdown that proves horror knowledge and chaos are best served loud, wrong, and drunk on confidence. Think you’re smart? Prove it. Or just scream your answer louder than the other guy.

https://podcast.feedspot.com/horror_movie_podcasts/

The Class takes on Sinners, and there’s a hell of a lot more going on here than vampires.

We get into the music, the mythology, Ryan Coogler’s story, and what made Sinners stand out from everything else we’ve watched lately.

Michael B. Jordan is in it (twice)...so Tommy’s doing just fine.

Cinderella definitely left this part out.

The Class gets into The Ugly Stepsister, a very different take on the fairy tale packed with body horror, impossible beauty standards, questionable procedures, and some truly disgusting ways to get ready for the ball.

Bibbidi Bobbidi Botox.

The Class goes back to one of our favorite Tales from the Crypt movies to talk Demon Knight, Jeryline, the lore, the gore, and why Billy Zane’s Collector had absolutely no business being this damn charming.

We were supposed to review Demon Knight. Instead, we spent most of the episode crushing on Billy Zane.

Halle Berry has some interesting parenting techniques in Never Let Go.

The Class gets into the family at the center of the movie, whether the evil is actually real, all the trauma being passed down to these kids, and some very questionable decisions from Mama.

We also get into the bad wigs, accents, and somehow end up talking about the Crystal Lake reboot.

The Hype Train keeps rolling, and Sabrina is finally back with The Class.

We get into even more upcoming horror, including movies told through the eyes of a dog, grief-heavy stories, haunted theme parks, and whatever else caught our attention.

Meanwhile, Tommy goes on a completely unnecessary rant about reading, Mista Malave disappears halfway through the episode, and somehow Bluetooth toothbrushes become part of the conversation.

All aboard The Hype Train.

The Class goes through some of the movies we were looking forward to, including Final Destination: Bloodlines, Sinners, Death of a Unicorn, Together, Anaconda, and more.

Which ones are we buying the hype for, which ones have us worried, and which ones do we have absolutely no idea what to expect from?

The Class gets into Longlegs, and Mista Malave is leading the way through one of the strangest horror movies we’ve talked about.

We get into Nicolas Cage’s completely unhinged performance, Maika Monroe, the Satanic mystery behind everything, and whether the movie actually lived up to all the hype surrounding it.

Sabrina is missing for this one, and we also get sidetracked talking about Netflix taking another shot at Cujo.

Night School Horror HAS RETURNED!

The Class gets back together to catch up on everything we missed, including Scream 7, Demi Moore’s comeback, The Faculty possibly returning, Until Dawn heading to the big screen, and a bunch of other horror news.

We also get into what everyone’s been watching, what’s on our lists, and introduce some new things we wanted to bring to NSH as we kicked off this next version of the show.

Part 2

Night School Horror disappeared into the shadows for far too long... but what caused its eerie silence? Something dark sealed its doors, keeping the truth hidden in the depths. Now, the quiet is breaking, and the story—long awaited—will unfold, one chilling piece at a time.
