Scaredy Cats – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Hi Scaredy Cats! Join us as we talk home invasion horror and tackle The Strangers and The Strangers: Prey at Night. We chat about true crime, what protagonist truly bothers us, and delve into why home invasion movies just hit a little differently.

TRIGGER WARNING: We do cover details of the true crime cases that inspired writer/director of The Strangers, Bryan Bertino, so the conversation gets graphic.

We're going all the way back to the third episode of Scaredy Cats to see if The Descent is still an all-time favourite for both of us. Spoiler alert, it is.

Join us as we chat about fan theories, female rage and the little details we picked up on our latest rewatch. Just stay out of the caves, okay?

Hey Scaredy Cats. In the mid eighties, monster movies just weren’t the trend in horror. The genre was dominated by slashers like Friday the 13th. In 1984, we had movies like Silent Night, Deadly Night, Friday the 13th: the Final Chapter (spoiler alert, it wasn’t) and probably most importantly of all, A Nightmare on Elm Street. But the horror writers and directors of the eighties would have grown up with the Hammer horror movies, so it was inevitable that someone would have come along to revitalize the monster movie, or more specifically, the vampire movie. That person was Tom Holland and his 1985 love letter to classic horror was Fright Night. 

 Joining us to chat about vampires are the Real Housewives of Saskatoon, Crystal and Michelle. 

 I’m your host Sherri and this is just your friendly reminder that as always there will be loads of spoilers, so if you haven’t seen the movie, go watch it! Otherwise, proceed at your own risk. 

Before we get into the movie, I just wanted to share something near and dear to my heart. We have a special event coming up… On November 5, I’ll be holding the 3rd annual Scareathon – my gaming marathon during which I will play scary games for 24 hours straight and stream them on Twitch as part of Extra Life Game Day. Extra Life is an organization that was founded in Texas in 2008 and they’ve raised over $100 million USD to support children’s hospitals. They help fund critical treatments or pediatric medical equipment, ensure that hospitals can provide charitable care and cover specialized services that may not be covered by insurance. I’ll be raising money for my local Children’s Miracle Network hospital and I’d love it if you popped in. I will be doing all kinds of silly things to entertain and incentivize donors. You can find me on Twitch as Scaredy Sherri and you can donate here.

Hey Scaredy Cats! Welcome to the Haunted Library. I’m Sherri… (Ryan introduces himself). We’ve talked about it on so many occasions, but we are both huge fans of haunted house stories. Since it’s October and Halloween is just around the corner, we wanted to talk about one of our favourite haunted house novels. In fact, it’s a book so scary that Stephen King has described it as one of the most important horror novels of the twentieth century. It’s an absolute classic and has inspired a play, two movies and a Netflix series. Grab yourself a seasonal beverage, curl up under your favourite blanket and get cozy because it’s time to talk about Shirley Jackson’s The Haunting of Hill House.

Hey Scaredy Cats. Imagine you’re a young child, maybe six or seven years old. You head to your local theatre to catch a matinee all by yourself. You’re a hardened horror fan despite your young age, but what you see scares you so much that you literally pray for the sunshine to last. This movie sticks with you for decades and when you become a filmmaker, you remake it as a way of purging it from your system. That’s exactly what happened to Indonesian filmmaker, Joko Anwar. The movie? Satan’s Slaves. 

This is just your friendly reminder that as always, we will be breaking down the plot in great detail. That means… there will be loads of spoilers, so if you haven’t seen the movie, go watch it! Otherwise, proceed at your own risk. Joining us to talk about Satan’s Slaves is Jenn from the awesome podcast, I Hate Your Taste In Movies.

Hey Scaredy Cats. In 2003, Quentin Tarantino started showing double features at his house. Being the die hard film fanatic that he is, he would also play movie trailers before each film. At one such screening, his friend Robert Rodriguez suggested that they do a double feature together. Tarantino loved the idea and came up with the name Grindhouse. For the price of one movie ticket, you got to see two cool movies made as tribute to the grindhouse movies of the seventies, complete with fake trailers and ads. Rodriguez made the zombie action horror Planet Terror and Tarantino made a slasher movie that also paid tribute to classic car movies like Vanishing Point and Gone in 60 Seconds (the good one, not that Angelina Jolie bullshit as one of the characters says). Unfortunately, the concept didn’t make a big impact on the box office in North America and the movies were then released separately for international audiences. 

Just a friendly reminder that as always, we will be breaking down the plot in great detail. That means… there will be loads of spoilers, so if you haven’t seen the movie, go watch it! Otherwise, proceed at your own risk. Joining us to talk about one part of the Grindhouse double feature are Kendall from the TerrorNova podcast, Jessica, and Ryan.

Yes, we should have done this as a Grindhouse episode and if we were going to break it up into two, Planet Terror should have come first. We're breaking all kinds of rules because that's the kind of rebel podcast we are.

Hey Scaredy Cats! Welcome to the Haunted Library with Sherri and Ryan. This month’s installment is all about Gloria by Bentley Little:

 "Considering she had just attended her mother’s funeral, Gloria Jaymes never expected to see the woman again, but then her dead mom shows up at her house. Gloria’s mom is… different. She’s younger than when she died, dressed in clothes from the 1980s. And nobody else in Gloria’s family seems to recognize her. As Gloria tries to figure out the reason for her mother’s reappearance — and the odd behaviors the woman begins to exhibit — other bizarre events occur. The changes to Gloria’s world are small and subtle, at first… then they become much more startling. The freaky situation might just be connected to a mysterious shed in a small California town. The strangers who gather around the shed seem to know Gloria’s name… and maybe they aren’t strangers after all."

Picture this. Two horror legends meet and become friends. They put their collective heads together to create a horror anthology that pays homage to old comic books. Comic books that told grisly tales of murder and astonishing creatures. Bring in a special effects and make up wizard. Add a handful of familiar faces. What do you get? The absolute delight that is 1982’s Creepshow. Joining us to talk about this anthology classic are Crystal, Jon and Steve. 

This is just your friendly reminder that as always, we will be breaking down the plot in great detail. That means… there will be loads of spoilers, so if you haven’t seen the movie, go watch it! Otherwise, proceed at your own risk.
