| Let Me In (2010) | Vampire Love, Bullies & One Very Questionable Relationship | 22 Sep 2026 | 01:06:54 | |
Owen is lonely, bullied, ignored at home, and desperate for someone who actually understands him. Then Abby moves in next door. She’s his age. She only comes out at night. She walks barefoot through the snow. She can solve a Rubik’s Cube suspiciously fast. And there’s the small matter of her needing human blood to survive. This week on Two Cents We See Scary Movies, Talon and Christopher wrap up Who’s Kids Are These?! Month with Let Me In, Matt Reeves’ 2010 vampire horror film starring Kodi Smit-McPhee, Chloë Grace Moretz, and Richard Jenkins. We’re talking Owen’s relentless bullies, Thomas’s increasingly disastrous attempts at blood delivery, Abby’s extremely aggressive approach to conflict resolution, classic vampire rules, and the public swimming pool that becomes the site of perhaps the most effective anti-bullying campaign ever put on film. But the bigger question is what exactly Abby wants from Owen. Is this really a strange, sad little vampire love story between two lonely kids? Or has a centuries-old vampire found a vulnerable 12-year-old and begun interviewing him for the position Thomas has held his entire life? Talon and Christopher do not agree on this movie. At all. One of us found the melancholy, slow-burn relationship surprisingly effective. The other found two hours of sad children talking to each other significantly less enchanting. Either way, dating is complicated enough without discovering that your new girlfriend sleeps in a bathtub and may eventually need you to start collecting blood for her. Listen now and tell us: was Abby really in love with Owen, or was he always meant to become Thomas’s replacement?

| There’s Something Wrong with the Children (2023) | Creepy Kids, Bug People & a Glowing Pit | 01 Sep 2026 | 01:07:46 | |
Something is definitely wrong with the children. For our Who’s Kids Are These?! theme, Talon and Christopher take on There’s Something Wrong with the Children, the 2023 Blumhouse supernatural horror film directed by Roxanne Benjamin and starring Alisha Wainwright, Zach Gilford, Amanda Crew, and Carlos Santos. A weekend getaway between longtime friends takes a seriously disturbing turn after two children disappear into the woods overnight and return behaving very differently. Ben becomes convinced something supernatural happened to them, but getting everyone else to believe him turns out to be almost as difficult as surviving whatever came back from the woods. We’re getting into the glowing pit, creepy kids, insect imagery, questionable survival decisions, one police response that sends Christopher over the edge, and a mythology that gives us just enough information to leave us asking what the hell is actually going on. Did the movie’s lack of answers make it creepier, or did we need a whole lot more explanation about what was living in that pit? Full spoilers ahead. Two Cents: We See Scary Movies — horror movie reviews, plot breakdowns, reactions, theories, bad decisions, and the occasional argument over what any sane person would actually do in a horror movie. #TheresSomethingWrongWithTheChildren #HorrorMovieReview #BlumhouseHorror #EvilKidsHorror #SupernaturalHorror #HorrorPodcast #ScaryMovies #TwoCentsWeSeeScaryMovies | |||
| Deadly Friend | Robot Grief, Bad Science, and One Very Angry Basketball | 18 Aug 2026 | 01:20:02 | |
This week on Two Cents We See Scary Movies, we wrap up our Wired to Kill theme with Deadly Friend, Wes Craven’s 1986 sci-fi horror movie about a teenage genius, his homemade robot BB, the girl next door, and one of the worst grief decisions ever committed to film. Paul Conway may be smart enough to build a robot, study artificial intelligence, and somehow get his own university lab before he can legally rent a car, but common sense is not exactly leading the team here. After BB is destroyed and Samantha is left brain-dead, Paul decides the obvious solution is to combine his robot bestie with his dead crush and hope nothing terrible happens. Spoiler: terrible things happen. We get killer robot logic, teenage Frankenstein energy, questionable hospital security, a deeply hostile old lady with a shotgun, a biker gang with regrettable timing, and one basketball scene that earns its place in horror history. If you want to add Deadly Friend to your own collection, the Collector’s Edition is available on Gruv, and we have an affiliate link here: https://gruv.com/products/deadly-friend-collectors-edition-blu-ray-_1000806360 Using the link helps support the show.

| Chopping Mall (1986) | Killer Robots, Furniture-Store Foreplay & Absolutely No Shopping | 04 Aug 2026 | 00:43:57 | |
Welcome to Park Plaza Mall, where the security robots are fully armed, extremely polite, and absolutely terrible at de-escalation. This week, Talon and Christopher kick off Wired to Kill with Chopping Mall, the 1986 horror-comedy featuring an after-hours party, three malfunctioning robots, questionable survival decisions, and remarkably little chopping. Thank you. Have a nice day. Next up is Wes Craven’s Deadly Friend.

| Children of the Corn (1984) | Dead-Eyed Kids, Golf Bags & the Maiziah | 21 Jul 2026 | 01:03:32 | |
Welcome to Gatlin, Nebraska: population children, occupation murder, religion complicated. This week on Two Cents We See Scary Movies, Talon and Christopher revisit Children of the Corn, the 1984 horror classic based on Stephen King’s short story. When Burt and Vicky accidentally stumble into a seemingly abandoned farming town, they discover that Gatlin’s children have formed a deadly religious cult led by the unnervingly intense Isaac and his power-hungry enforcer, Malachai. We break down poisoned coffee, suspiciously casual vehicular manslaughter, a dead child rolling around in a trunk like a set of golf bags, Vicky’s complete lack of urgency, the terrifyingly effective child cast, and the arrival of Christopher’s greatest contribution to religious mythology: the Maiziah. Talon also looks back on how frightening Children of the Corn seemed when she watched it as a child compared with seeing it again at 51, while Christopher explains why this entire corn-covered catastrophe falls firmly under “not my problem.” Does this Stephen King adaptation remain a creepy small-town horror classic, or have its supernatural effects withered in the field? Join us as we close out Red, White & Screwed with murderous children, farm tools, questionable adult decisions, and He Who Walks Behind the Rows. Next month, the machines are taking over with our new theme, Wired to Kill. We’re kicking things off with Chopping Mall, the 1986 horror comedy in which a group of mall employees learns that an after-hours party and malfunctioning security robots are a deadly combination. Watch Chopping Mall free on Plex: Chopping Mall is also currently available on Tubi, The Roku Channel, The CW, Pluto TV, Shout! Factory TV, Prime Video, AMC+, Shudder, Philo, fuboTV, Screambox, and additional ad-supported services. #ChildrenOfTheCorn #StephenKingHorror #HorrorMoviePodcast #TwoCentsWeSeeScaryMovies #1980sHorror #CultHorror #WiredToKill #ChoppingMall | |||
| Summer of ’84 (2018) | Small Towns, Big Suspicions | 10 Jul 2026 | 00:46:07 | |
We’re kicking off our Red, White, and Screwed theme with Summer of ’84, a slow-burn suburban horror mystery full of bike rides, neighborhood stakeouts, questionable adult supervision, and one very suspicious cop next door. This one gave us a lot to talk about, from Davey’s full-time teenage surveillance operation to the movie’s heavy 80s nostalgia and whether a slow burn can still work when one host is getting impatient. Talon connected with the curiosity and investigation side of the story, while Christopher had a much harder time with the pacing and the kid-centered setup. Is Summer of ’84 a creepy small-town thriller that earns its ending, or does it take too long to get there? Grab your walkie-talkie, don’t trust the friendly neighbor too fast, and join us as we break it down. #SummerOf84 #HorrorPodcast #MovieReview #SmallTownHorror #80sHorror #SlowBurnHorror #TrueCrimeHorror #RedWhiteAndScrewed #TwoCentsWeSeeScaryMovies | |||
| Tucker and Dale vs. Evil (2010) | A Real Doozy of a Body Count | 16 Jun 2026 | 00:50:00 | |
This week on Two Cents: We See Scary Movies, we wrap up Grave Humor Month with Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, a movie where two perfectly decent hillbillies buy a murder cabin, try to fix it up, and accidentally become the prime suspects in the dumbest college massacre ever committed by the victims themselves. Talon and Christopher head into the woods for a horror comedy full of bad assumptions, worse communication, aggressive stupidity, chainsaws, bees, bowling fingers, and one deeply committed Chad who sees two awkward country boys and immediately decides he is living inside a slasher movie. Tucker and Dale just wanted a vacation home. The college kids brought trauma, judgment, and the cardio capacity of people sprinting directly into natural selection. #TuckerAndDaleVsEvil #HorrorComedy #HorrorPodcast #MovieReview #ScaryMovies #TwoCentsWeSeeScaryMovies | |||
| The Babysitter (2017) | Puberty Is Hard, But Satanic Cults Are Worse | 02 Jun 2026 | 00:28:33 | |
This week on Two Cents We See Scary Movies, Talon and Christopher kick off Grave Humor Month with The Babysitter (2017), a Netflix horror comedy that asks the important question: what if Home Alone had more blood, more Satan, and a babysitter who was somehow both amazing and absolutely the worst person to leave alone with your child? Cole thinks he is just sneaking downstairs to see what his cool babysitter Bee does after bedtime. Unfortunately, what she does after bedtime is host a satanic blood ritual with her very attractive, very unstable friend group. From fire pokers through eyeballs to homemade bug spray flamethrowers, this movie takes one anxious twelve-year-old and turns him into a tiny suburban John McClane with trauma. Let’s just say… this is one night of babysitting that goes completely off the rails. The Babysitter is currently available to stream on Netflix. #TheBabysitter #TheBabysitter2017 #NetflixHorror #HorrorComedy #GraveHumor #TwoCentsWeSeeScaryMovies #HorrorPodcast #MovieReviewPodcast #ScaryMovies #CultHorror #SamaraWeaving #JudahLewis #DarkComedy #HorrorFans #PodcastEpisode | |||
| The Ruins — One Map, One Stranger, Zero Survival Instincts | 19 May 2026 | 00:32:10 | |
Spring Break, Broken Bodies continues, and we're trading prehistoric fish for something arguably worse — plants with a personal vendetta. This week, Christopher leads us through The Ruins (2008): a group of Americans on vacation in Mexico who follow a German stranger they just met into an unmarked jungle to find some ancient ruins, because sure, why not. What follows is killer vines, at least one surgical scene nobody asked for, and an ending that's significantly better on DVD than it was in theaters. Different ecosystem than last week. Same catastrophic decision-making. #TheRuins #HorrorPodcast #BadDecisions #SurvivalHorror #ScaryMovies #MovieBreakdown #HorrorFans #FilmTalk | |||
| Piranha 3D (2010) | Spring Break, Bad Decisions, and a Lake Full of Teeth | 05 May 2026 | 00:38:30 | |
In this episode of Two Cents: We See Scary Movies, Talon and Christopher review Piranha 3D (2010), the wild spring break horror movie packed with killer fish, nonstop gore, disaster-movie chaos, and one of the most ridiculous creature-feature setups of the 2010s. This horror movie podcast episode breaks down the Jaws-style opening, the underwater dance sequence, the massive piranha attack, the practical gore effects, the bizarre 3D moments, and the stacked cast that somehow includes Elisabeth Shue, Ving Rhames, Christopher Lloyd, Richard Dreyfuss, Jerry O’Connell, and Adam Scott. This is also Christopher’s first official episode as the new co-host of Two Cents, and the first episode in the show’s new video format. The result is a funny, sarcastic, and brutally honest horror movie review of a film that is equal parts bloody, stupid, entertaining, and unforgettable. If you like horror movie reviews, creature features, shark-adjacent terror, spring break horror, campy horror movies, practical gore, and funny movie podcasts, this episode is for you. Next up in the Spring Break Broken Bodies theme: The Ruins. #Piranha3D #HorrorMovieReview #CreatureFeature #SpringBreakHorror #HorrorPodcast #CampyHorror #MovieReview #PiranhaMovie #2010Horror #ScaryMoviePodcast | |||
| The Night of Something Strange — We Are So Sorry | Horror Movie Review | 21 Apr 2026 | 01:37:03 | |
***LISTENER WARNING IS ADVISED***This month's theme is You Make Me Sick — movies about disease, infection, and things that crawl under your skin. And then there's The Night of Something Strange, which interpreted that as a personal challenge and won. Talon and Dan dive into one of the most bizarre, disgusting, and downright unhinged horror movies ever made — Night of Something Strange (2016). What starts as a road trip quickly turns into a full-blown nightmare fueled by a mysterious infection, over-the-top gore, and scenes that will absolutely make you question your life choices. This isn’t just horror… this is shock value turned all the way up. Is it so bad it’s good… or just straight-up disturbing? Talon and Dan break down the insanity, react to the wildest moments, and try to figure out what this movie was even trying to do. If you like weird horror movies, cult horror, or just want to hear two people process absolute chaos in real time, this one’s for you. #NightOfSomethingStrange #HorrorMovieReview #WeirdHorror #CultHorror #GrossHorror #ExtremeHorror #BadHorrorMovies #HorrorPodcast #ZombieHorror #IndieHorror #ScaryMovies #MovieReview #TwoCentsPodcast | |||
| The Bay (2012) | The Found Footage Parasite Horror That Feels Uncomfortably Real | 07 Apr 2026 | 00:47:36 | |
Talon and Dan break down The Bay (2012), a found footage eco-horror about pollution, parasites, and a Fourth of July outbreak that wipes out an entire town. As part of this month’s theme “You Make Me Sick!”, this episode dives into disease horror, environmental horror, and the unsettling idea that something like this could almost happen. Is The Bay an underrated found footage horror… or just a very long warning about swimming in brackish water? Next episode: The Night of Something Strange Music Credit Hashtags | |||
| All the Boys Love Mandy Lane (2006) | When Popularity Turns Deadly | 16 Mar 2026 | 00:35:10 | |
All the Boys Love Mandy Lane (2006) is a slow-burn slasher that trades jump scares for obsession, jealousy, and quiet menace. Set within a tight circle of teenagers, the film explores how admiration can curdle into fixation — and how popularity can quickly become a liability. In this episode of Two Cents: We See Scary Movies, Dan leads the discussion on All the Boys Love Mandy Lane, breaking down the film’s themes, pacing, and cult reputation. The conversation digs into the psychology driving the characters, the movie’s delayed release history, and why it continues to divide horror fans years later. This episode is part of our Kills Like Teen Spirit theme — where teenage emotions, fragile egos, and bad decisions collide with deadly consequences. Next month’s theme: You Make Me Sick You can watch The Bay on Plex.

| Cherry Falls (2000) | When Being a Virgin Gets You Killed | 03 Mar 2026 | 01:29:22 | |
Season 2 of Two Cents: We See Scary Movies is officially back, and we’re kicking things off with Cherry Falls (2000) — the first entry in this month’s theme: Kills Like Teen Spirit. This theme dives into horror stories centered around teens, high school trauma, and the deadly consequences of growing up — and Cherry Falls wastes no time flipping classic slasher rules on their head. Instead of punishing sexually active teens, this killer targets virgins, setting off panic, secrets, and moral confusion in a small town already rotting from the inside. Talon and Dan break down the plot, the killer’s motivations, the film’s stacked early-career cast, and why Cherry Falls feels like a movie with big ideas that never quite found its footing. Watch, stream, or support Dan's physical media obsession through Plex: Using the link helps support the show — and Dan’s ongoing belief that physical media is essential for surviving the apocalypse.

| Season 2 of our horror movie podcast is officially on the way. | 26 Feb 2026 | 00:01:43 | |
But there are changes coming...Dan will appear in the first two months of episodes, and then Christopher steps in as the new co-host moving forward. Schedules change, priorities shift, and this felt like the right evolution for Two Cents: We See Scary Movies. If you know Christopher from One Season Wonder, you already know the energy at the table will be different. The dynamic changes, but the core stays the same: horror-forward discussion, sharp humor, and honest reactions to the movies we cover. Season 2 also marks our move into full video format. Episodes will now be recorded on camera, bringing a more visual experience alongside the audio release. Season 2 premieres April 1, 2026. Music: “Monsters Within” by Quentin Cobletz | |||

| The House of the Devil (2009) – $400 for a Night of Hell | 28 Oct 2025 | 00:35:49 | |
Four hundred bucks for one night of babysitting? Sounds easy — until you realize the kid is imaginary and the family worships Satan. In this episode, Talon and Dan dig into Ti West’s The House of the Devil (2009) — the slowest of slow burns that somehow still manages to creep under your skin. From real phone numbers to bad pizza choices and red flags you could see from space, this movie proves that “too good to be true” is usually followed by a blood sacrifice. It’s part of our October theme, Not Just Another Halloween Movie, where we skip the masked maniacs and look at horror films that get weird, unsettling, and way too quiet for comfort. And next month, we’re carving into Thankslaughter — a season of holiday horror where the family that slays together, stays together. We’ll kick it off with Home Sweet Home (1981) — the Thanksgiving slasher that reminds you not everyone should say grace. Be scared, be prepared, and don’t get caught in the dark. | |||
| Night of the Demons – The One Where Lipstick Meets the Afterlife | 24 Oct 2025 | 00:48:12 | |
This week on Two Cents: We See Scary Movies, Talon and Dan head to Hull House for a Halloween party that’s less “trick or treat” and more “summon the damned.” This episode also marks a new format for Two Cents: shorter summaries, sharper riffs, and even more chaos as Talon and Dan break the movie into three parts—the Beginning, the Middle, and the End. #NightOfTheDemons #TwoCentsPodcast #HorrorMoviePodcast #HalloweenMovies #CultHorror #80sHorror #NotJustAnotherHalloweenMovie #DemonicPossession #HorrorComedy #MoviePodcast | |||
| Haunt (2019) – The Halloween House You Should’ve Stayed Out Of | Two Cents: We See Scary Movies | 23 Oct 2025 | 01:37:07 | |
It’s October, and this month’s theme is Not Just Another Halloween Movie — because not every Halloween scare comes from Michael Myers. Talon and Dan dive into Haunt (2019), a Halloween-night horror that trades mystery for mayhem and scares for splatter. We’re talking questionable choices, plot holes you could drive a hearse through, and a cast of characters that make every wrong move possible. It’s got the right setup — creepy masks, an extreme haunted house, and a great atmosphere — but somewhere along the way, this one loses the plot. Literally. Join us as we break down what works, what doesn’t, and why this haunted house might’ve been scarier if we’d just stayed home. #Haunt #Haunt2019 #HalloweenHorror #HauntedHouseMovie #TwoCentsPodcast #HorrorPodcast #NotJustAnotherHalloweenMovie #HorrorMovieReview #IndieHorror #SpookySeason #ScaryMovieDiscussion #HorrorCommunity | |||
| Murder Party (2007) – Pumpkin Bread, Pretentious Artists, and the Perils of Showing Up | 14 Oct 2025 | 01:32:57 | |
It’s Halloween night in Brooklyn, and one lonely guy with a cardboard knight costume and a bowl of candy corn decides to attend a “Murder Party.” What could possibly go wrong? Talon and Dan break down Jeremy Saulnier’s cult horror-comedy Murder Party — complete with pumpkin bread fatalities, electric chainsaws, and more uses of the word “dildo” than any movie ever needed. Join Two Cents We See Scary Movies as Talon and Dan wade through a blood-soaked night of pretentious art, questionable costumes, and surprisingly relatable chaos.

| The Deep House (2021) – When Your Haunted House Comes With a Side of Drowning | Two Cents Podcast | 07 Oct 2025 | 01:05:27 | |
This week, Talon and Dan dive headfirst into The Deep House (2021)—because a haunted house wasn’t terrifying enough until someone decided to sink it underwater. As the duo descends into this flooded nightmare, they debate oxygen, ghosts, and the questionable life choices of people who think scuba diving into Satan’s basement is a good idea. Get ready for dark humor, confusion, and just enough claustrophobia to make you rethink that next swim. And don’t miss our second drop this week as Two Cents We See Scary Movies finally catches up and kicks off October’s theme, Not Just Another Halloween Movie. We might be late, but at least we’re showing up with Murder Party—streaming free on Tubi. Because nothing says “fashionably late” like blood, chaos, and questionable costumes.

| Leviathan (1989) – Underwater Nightmares & Corporate Bullshit | Two Cents: We See Scary Movies | 25 Sep 2025 | 01:08:39 | |
Deep beneath the ocean, a Russian wreck, some “totally safe” vodka, and one hell of a fishy genetic experiment turn a mining crew’s last week into a nightmare. Talon and Dan dive into Leviathan (1989), a movie that somehow manages to mix sci-fi horror, monster mayhem, and corporate greed all in one soggy package. From Six-Pack’s bad choices to Beck’s geologist-turned-reluctant-leader routine, we break down every confusing twist, gross mutation, and questionable decision — plus share our own thoughts on what it would really be like to face a monster stitched together from your coworkers. New episodes drop every Tuesday. Be scared, be prepared, and don’t get caught in the dark. #HorrorPodcast #Leviathan #ScaryMovies #UnderwaterHorror #MonsterMovies | |||
| The Black Demon (2023) – Killer Shark, Ancient Curse, and a Movie That Made Talon Dumb | Two Cents Podcast | 23 Sep 2025 | 01:44:58 | |
This week on Two Cents We See Scary Movies, Talon and Dan take on The Black Demon (2023)—a shark horror film with an ancient curse, oil rigs, and a plot so confusing it might’ve knocked a few IQ points off along the way. From supernatural legends to head-scratching twists, Talon admits this movie left her more confused than terrified, while Dan tries to make sense of the chaos. Is The Black Demon a deep dive into horror mythology or just another murky shark flick? We sort through the madness so you don’t have to.

| Shark Night (2011) – Sharks, Snuff Films, and the Worst Vacation Ever | Two Cents Horror Podcast | 10 Sep 2025 | 01:18:27 | |
This week on Two Cents We See Scary Movies, Talon and Dan dive headfirst into Shark Night (2011) — a movie that proves sharks aren’t the only predators in the water. From snuff-film schemes to rednecks with razor-sharp teeth, this lake vacation spirals into pure chaos. Talon takes the lead on this one, breaking down every bloody scene and calling out the absurd shark physics, the nonsense “romance,” and why no one in their right mind would trust that flimsy diving cage. Dan’s along for the ride, weighing in on whether being bitten in half would actually be less stressful than dealing with his coworkers. Buckle up for killer commentary, dark humor, and one very good dog who might just be the hero of the whole movie.

| Villains (2019) Movie Review | Dark Comedy Meets Home Invasion Horror | 05 Sep 2025 | 01:06:19 | |
In this episode of Two Cents We See Scary Movies, Talon and Dan take a wild ride into Villains (2019), a dark comedy horror that blends twisted humor with home invasion chaos. We break down the film’s offbeat characters, unsettling family dynamics, and the way it pushes the boundaries of horror and comedy. From unexpected laughs to tense standoffs, Villains delivers a story that’s just as strange as it is sinister. Join us for scene-by-scene commentary, sharp humor, and a fresh perspective on one of horror’s most unusual modern entries.

| He’s Out There (2018) – When Tea Parties Turn into Torture: Home Invasion Gets Personal | 27 Aug 2025 | 01:14:11 | |
On this episode of Two Cents: We See Scary Movies, Talon and Dan tackle He’s Out There (2018), a home invasion horror that… well, had potential. Set in a remote lakeside cabin, a mom and her two daughters face off against a mostly silent killer with a flair for arts and crafts, red string mazes, and elaborate doll setups. Let’s just say: the movie raises some questions. Like, why does he carry around a picture book? What’s with the eggs? And why does no one ever check the back seat? This one wasn’t exactly our favorite, but it definitely fits the August theme: Home Is Where the Horror Is. If you’ve ever wondered what would happen if Pinterest and trauma had a baby in the woods—this might be it.

| You’re Next (2011) – Family Reunions, Crossbows, and a Killer Dinner Conversation | Horror Movie Review | 13 Aug 2025 | 01:26:38 | |
In this episode of Two Cents We See Scary Movies, Talon and Dan dig into You’re Next (2011), the home invasion slasher where a tense family reunion turns into a deadly game of survival. From crossbow chaos at the dinner table to surprisingly hilarious sibling jabs mid-massacre, we break down the kills, the twists, and the unexpected comedy hiding in all that carnage. We cover: New episodes every Tuesday (Hopefully)—join us for more horror movie reviews, breakdowns, and unfiltered commentary.

| The Rental – Airbn-Deadly: Spying Showers, Secret Rooms, and a Hammer to the Head | 06 Aug 2025 | 01:24:41 | |
It’s the first full-length episode of our new theme Home is Where the Horror Is — and we’re kicking it off with 2020’s The Rental, where the only thing more invasive than your creepy Airbnb host is your traveling companion’s moral compass. Talon breaks down the entire film, scene by scene, complete with bad decisions, surveillance cameras, and one very unfortunate dog-napping. Dan’s off-mic for this one, but don’t worry — his judgmental spirit lives on in every awkward shower scene and suspicious text message. Full breakdown, wild commentary, and plenty of bad behavior await in this dark and foggy coastal thriller.

| Bonus: Home Invasion – The Quiet Ones Bite Back | 29 Jul 2025 | 00:31:41 | |
Two intruders. One sleeping girl. It’s the classic home invasion setup—until everything flips. In this bonus short episode of Two Cents: We See Scary Movies, Talon and Dan break down the short film Home Invasion, where a seemingly helpless girl turns out to be the real threat. From slow-building suspense to bloody payback, this one proves that choosing the wrong house could be the last mistake you make. Music Credit: Monster Within by Quinten Coblentz Hashtags: | |||
| No Escape / Follow Me – When Influencing Turns Deadly | 22 Jul 2025 | 00:58:41 | |
In this episode of Two Cents: We See Scary Movies, Talon and Dan dive into the social media-fueled nightmare that is No Escape (also known as Follow Me). When a popular influencer heads to Russia for a livestreamed escape room experience, things quickly spiral from content creation to full-blown chaos. Is it all part of the show—or something far more sinister? We explore the film’s commentary on clout-chasing, toxic fan culture, and the blurred line between performance and reality. It's influencer horror at its most unhinged, and we've got thoughts. Monster Within by Quinten Coblentz | |||
| Sissy (2022) – Dead Friend Energy, Pink Hair, and Delusions of Influence | 15 Jul 2025 | 01:36:05 | |
Welcome to Two Cents: We See Scary Movies, the podcast where horror meets hot takes and trauma comes with glitter. This week, Talon and Dan dive headfirst into the blood-soaked sparkle of Sissy (2022), the story of a self-help influencer whose idea of healing involves murder, hair dye, and a very poorly disguised grave. Talon’s got thoughts on pink hair and performative kindness. Dan’s got jokes about make-believe funerals. And somewhere in between, we ask the real question: was any of this actually self-defense, or just an unhinged rebranding opportunity?

| Deadstream – Cancel Culture, Haunted Houses, and the Worst Livestream Ever? | 08 Jul 2025 | 01:27:48 | |
In this episode of Two Cents: We See Scary Movies, we dive headfirst into the chaos of Deadstream (2022), a found-footage horror-comedy that turns livestreaming into a literal fight for survival. When disgraced YouTuber Shawn Ruddy locks himself in a haunted house to win back his fans, he quickly learns that views aren't worth dying for—and that ghosts don’t care about subscriber counts. We break down the film’s satire on influencer culture, why this movie works surprisingly well despite its chaotic energy, and how Deadstream manages to balance jump scares with social commentary. It’s messy, meta, and just unhinged enough to keep us watching. Featuring the theme “Influencers: When Going Viral Gets Violent,” this episode is part of our July lineup exploring the horrors of online fame.

Danielle’s brand is all about wellness and positivity—but when her old high school friends come knocking, so do the skeletons in her influencer closet. This week on Two Cents: We See Scary Movies, Talon and Dan kick off July’s “Influencers” theme with New Year, New You, a twisted take on curated identities, performative friendships, and how fast a vision board can turn into a crime scene.

| Exhibit A – Dad’s Breaking Point Caught on Tape | 24 Jun 2025 | 01:53:00 | |
In this episode of Two Cents: We See Scary Movies, Talon and Dan dive into Exhibit A (2007), a chilling found-footage drama that slowly unravels the psychological breakdown of a suburban father. Filmed like a home video gone horribly wrong, this under-the-radar British horror story delivers a terrifyingly intimate look at domestic collapse. How does the film build tension with such a slow burn? Why does the father's descent feel so disturbingly real? And does this fit our "Dads Are Deadly" theme… or blow it wide open? Let’s press play and find out.

| The Stepfather – Father Knows Best… Until He Doesn’t | 17 Jun 2025 | 01:22:46 | |
What’s more terrifying than a killer dad? A killer dad who thinks he’s the perfect one. This week, we’re diving into The Stepfather (1987), where suburban bliss gets a bloody wake-up call. Jerry Blake just wants the perfect family—but if they disappoint him, he’ll just… start over. Join Talon and Dan as they break down the red flags, the creepy charm, and the sheer horror of a man who takes “father figure” way too seriously. It’s part of our June theme, Dads Are Deadly, and this one earns its spot on the list. Theme Music: Monster Within by Quinten Coblentz. | |||
| The Clovehitch Killer – Dad’s Got Secrets, and They’re Buried Deep | 10 Jun 2025 | 01:42:37 | |
This week, we’re diving into The Clovehitch Killer (2018), a slow-burn psychological thriller about a teenage boy who starts to suspect that his all-American dad might be hiding something... like a history of murder. We talk about the film’s eerie tone, the impact of silence and suggestion, and how this movie flips the script on the classic serial killer narrative. Dan has opinions about family loyalty, and Talon has questions—lots of them. New episodes every Tuesday as we explore horror films one theme at a time. June’s theme? Dads Are Deadly. And this one… might just be the most believable of them all. Music Credit: | |||
| Frailty – Dads, Demons, and the God Pipe | 04 Jun 2025 | 01:28:43 | |
This week, we're kicking off our June theme, Dads Are Deadly, with Frailty (2001)—a twisted tale of faith, family, and a whole lot of murder. Is Dad a demon-slaying prophet on a mission from God… or just a dangerous man with a rusty pipe and a warped sense of purpose? Talon and Dan dive into the movie’s religious undertones, that infamous “God Pipe,” and narration that is "alright, alright, alright." There’s suspense, speculation, and plenty of sarcasm as we explore one of the most underrated psychological horror films of the early 2000s. New episodes drop every Tuesday.

| Fever Lake (1997) Pt 2– The Curse Continues… Barely | 28 May 2025 | 01:19:02 | |
We’re back with Part 2 of our Fever Lake breakdown, because one episode simply wasn’t enough to capture the full ridiculousness of this straight-to-video disaster. In this final installment, Talon and Dan push through the film's second half,-where answers are vague, the curse is still barely explained, and the ending leaves us wondering why we didn’t just turn the boat around. But hey, at least we all survived. Barely. #FeverLake #TwoCentsScaryMovies #HorrorPodcast #LakeHorror #BadHorrorMovies #90sHorror #ScaryMoviePodcast #PodcastRecommendations #MovieBreakdown #CursedWaters #StraightToVideo #CoreyHaim #MarioLopez #PodcastClip #DadsAreDeadly #Frailty #HorrorFans | |||
| Fever Lake (1997) – Cursed Waters and Career Regrets (Part 1) | 27 May 2025 | 01:17:54 | |
It’s another trip to the lake… and this one might make Lake of Death look like a masterpiece. In Part 1 of our Fever Lake breakdown, Talon and Dan wade into the shallow, murky waters of this 1997 straight-to-video horror movie starring—yes, that's actually Mario Lopez and Corey Haim. We had so much to say about this movie—mostly because it's just that awful—that we had to split the episode into two parts. From confusing psychic visions to a half-baked curse and performances that left us speechless (in a bad way), Fever Lake gave us more material than it probably deserved. Part 2 drops Wednesday, and trust us—you’re going to want to hear how this cursed mess wraps up. Or at least spirals into chaos. #FeverLake #TwoCentsScaryMovies #HorrorPodcast #LakeHorror #BadHorrorMovies #90sHorror #ScaryMoviePodcast #PodcastRecommendations #MovieBreakdown #CursedWaters #MarioLopez #CoreyHaim #HorrorFans #SpookySeason #PodcastClip #TrueFansStayToTheEnd | |||
| Lake of Death (2019) – Grief, Guilt, and a Whole Lot of Weird Sibling Vibes | 20 May 2025 | 01:39:21 | |
This week, we explore Lake of Death (2019), a Norwegian horror film steeped in atmosphere, grief, and a sibling relationship that had us raising our eyebrows more than once. When Lillian returns to her family cabin after her twin brother's mysterious death, strange visions and even stranger behavior start to unravel everyone around her. We dig into the folklore, the fog, and the psychological unraveling—while also trying to figure out what was really going on between those twins. New episodes every Tuesday. Be scared, be prepared, and don’t get caught in the dark. #LakeOfDeath #NorwegianHorror #ScaryMoviePodcast #FolkloreHorror #TwoCentsPodcast #HorrorPodcast #TwinTrouble #CreepyCabinVibes #OneScaryMovieAtATime #MovieReviewShow | |||
| Eden Lake – A Romantic Getaway… Straight to Hell | 13 May 2025 | 01:23:40 | |
In this week’s episode of Two Cents: We See Scary Movies, Talon and Dan head to the English countryside for a weekend retreat that turns into an all-out nightmare. Lake Eden (2008) serves up a chilling reminder that sometimes the real monsters aren’t lurking in the woods—they’re sitting at the next picnic table. We break down this brutal thriller that shocked audiences with its gut-punch realism and disturbing take on societal decay. From the uncomfortable power dynamics to the unrelenting tension, we ask: is this horror, social commentary, or both? Join us as we talk survival, blame, and the twisted truth behind “kids these days.” #LakeEden #EdenLake #HorrorPodcast #TwoCentsScaryMovies #SurvivalHorror #BritishHorror #ScaryMovieDiscussion #PsychologicalHorror #RevengeMovies #MovieBreakdown | |||
| Lake Mungo (2008) – Grief, Ghosts, and the Girl in the Footage | 05 May 2025 | 00:44:05 | |
This week we wade into Lake Mungo (2008), a somber Australian mockumentary that technically has a ghost, but mostly just wants to bum you out. When 16-year-old Alice drowns, her family starts experiencing spooky occurrences—and we start questioning how many slow zooms one film really needs. We talk about grief, fakeouts, emotional manipulation, and whether the twist landed or just kind of... floated there. Some people call it one of the scariest films ever made. We call it a mood—and not always a good one. If you love sad ghosts, home videos, and watching people grieve in real time... you might love this more than we did. | |||

This week, we dive into Making Monsters (2019), a found-footage horror flick that mixes influencer culture with a seriously sinister weekend getaway. When a couple known for their online pranks visits a friend’s creepy country home, things go from “haha” to “hell no” real quick. We talk about digital identity, masked stalkers, and how internet fame can come with a deadly price tag. Oh—and if you’ve ever wanted to see what happens when prank culture meets actual horror, this one’s for you. Get ready for glitches, gaslighting, and gore galore as we give our two cents on this indie nightmare. | |||
| The Burning (1981) – Camp Counselors, Cropsey, and Questionable Choices | 15 Apr 2025 | 01:13:09 | |
Summer camp is supposed to be fun—unless you're in a horror movie from the '80s. This week, we take a deep dive into The Burning (1981), a slasher flick with a flaming backstory, a hedge-clipping killer, and a cast full of future stars. We talk about the wild kills, the awkward teen drama, and whether Cropsey got a raw deal or was just really into vengeance. Spoiler alert: there's a lot of running through the woods. Join us as we roast this cult classic (pun intended), drop some horror history, and share our two cents on one of the genre's earliest post-Friday the 13th slashers. | |||
| April Fool’s Day (1986) – The Ultimate Prank or the Ultimate Letdown? | 10 Apr 2025 | 01:11:13 | |
It’s no joke—we’re kicking off Two Cents: We See Scary Movies with a film that’s all about pranks gone wrong… or are they? Join Dan and Talon as they dive into April Fool’s Day (1986), the horror movie that blends slasher thrills with a twist that still sparks debate. Is it a clever take on the genre, or does it leave audiences feeling tricked? We break down the kills, the characters, and that infamous ending. Grab your party invite and get ready—just watch out for any surprises along the way! Music: Monster Within Quinten Coblentz | |||
| June 9 (2008) – Found Footage, Small-Town Secrets, and Endless Annoying Teenagers | 08 Apr 2025 | 00:46:00 | |
This week on Two Cents: We See Scary Movies, Talon and Dan suffer through June 9 (2008), a found footage film that takes “slow burn” to a whole new level—mostly because nothing happens. Set in the small town of Boston Mills, Ohio, this movie follows a group of insufferable teens as they meander through bad decisions, repetitive actions, and an ending that left us questioning our life choices. Is there anything redeeming about this forgotten found footage flick? Tune in to find out… if we can stay awake long enough to finish talking about it. Music: Monster Within Quinten Coblentz | |||
