In this episode, we're covering Tales from the Crypt's "Death of Some Salesmen" (1993), all about a con man selling plots in a cemetery that doesn't exist and knocks on the wrong farmhouse door. Tim Curry plays three roles in this episode of Tales from the Crypt: Ma, Pa, and Winona Brackett. We also pay tribut to the late-great, Tim Curry.  

Wes Craven's 1991 house of horrors about landlords, gold, and the people underneath. We break in for the Reagan-era satire, the calendar coincidence that makes it feel more like a documentary, a leather-clad landlord with a shotgun, and more.

Contains discussion of child abuse, racist violence, and the 1992 Los Angeles uprising.

Madres (2021), Blumhouse's most under-seen social horror entry. A pregnant journalist, a farm town where none of the women have living children, and the real case buried underneath it.

A grieving family, a drowned girl, and a documentary that keeps giving you evidence you can't trust. We explore why Lake Mungo (2008) is one of horror's quietest gut-punches, and why it hits even harder in the age of the digital afterlife.

Camp Nightwing, 1978: a possessed counselor, an axe, and a town everyone agrees is just cursed. This week we head into the woods with Fear Street: 1978, and dig up what that "curse" is really covering for.

Santa Carla, 1987. It's motorcycles, mullets, and a saxophonist who refuses to wear a shirt. We break down The Lost Boys scene by scene, spill the chaotic behind-the-scenes story, and unpack the AIDS-era, milk-carton, MTV-soaked anxieties hiding under all that leather. Plus trivia!

On this week's episode, Jenn and Alyson get into Brian De Palma's Carrie from 1976.

Join Jenn and Alyson as we get into the pagan perfection of 1973's The Wicker Man

Join Jen and Alyson as we explore 2014's The Babadook, and it's exploration of motherhood, grief, and repressed trauma.

In this episode of The Frightgeist, we're watching Wes Craven's Invitation to Hell (1984). It's a made-for-TV horror movie about a family seduced into joining a suspicious country club. 

Join Alyson and Jen  as they discuss It Follows (2014), the acclaimed indie horror film about a young woman relentlessly stalked by a supernatural curse that's passed from victim to victim like a twisted game of tag. In this episode, we explore the movie's suspense, its atmosphere of creeping dread, and the lingering paranoia that might just follow you home.

Join the Alyson Horrocks and Jen Carrasco as they discuss The Omen (1976), the iconic horror film about an American ambassador whose family is plagued by mysterious deaths, which all seeming to point to his young son Damien. In this episode, we explore  the movie's dark themes of paranoia, apocalypse, and parental mistrust, all reflected in the "satanic craze" of 1970s America.
