It's the third anniversary of A Part Of Our Scare-itage! For this morgue-mentous occasion, Sarah & Adam discuss the Canadian-shot Freddy vs. Jason.

Tales From The Crypt's B.C.-shot spin-off movie, Demon Knight.
Sarah and Adam discuss the ultimate Canadian nightmare: camping.
Sarah & Adam won a game of Crazyball to earn the reward of discussing Canada's newest cult hit, Steven Kostanski's Psycho Goreman. Find out why your Scare-itage team considers PG to be so much fun and the “heckin' best” movie of 2020.
Sarah and Adam skim through their ABCs to discuss “T is for Torture Porn” and “U is for Utopia”.
Sarah and Adam celebrate #WomenInHorrorMonth by watching Jovanka Vuckovic's dark fantasy, The Captured Bird.
“Television is reality and reality is less than television.” Sarah & Adam tackle David Cronenberg's hallucinogenic Videodrome, a film in which television both makes you violent and gives you cancer. It's pandemonium in Toronto, so think of it as both a city horror and a CITY-TV horror.
The (first) Black Christmas remake: a panache-free slasher or a misunderstood black comedy? Sarah and Adam get sidetracked talking about Silent Night, Deadly Night as they try to answer this very important question.
Sarah and Adam get a taste for the undead in this recent Canadian gut-muncher.
It's been two years of Scare-itage and your hosts celebrate with a creepy Canadian thriller starring Donald Sutherland. Adam erroneously announces it's the show's third anniversary when it's only the second and Sarah practices her French.
Adam and Sarah discuss Women, Windigos, and Wendigos in Ghostkeeper, a forgotten piece of Canadiana.
Sarah and Adam are going off the rails with Terror Train. Yes, that pun was the best we could do.
Sarah & Adam celebrate Canada Day with special guest Scaredy-Matt (of Scaredy Cats and Thought Slime fame). Together, they try to discuss the most baffling movie in Canadian history, Things.
Sarah and Adam cure their Scanners Spring Fever with a sequel only they were clamoring for: Scanner Cop 2! Can it possibly live up to the original?
Sarah and Adam are faced with their greatest challenge yet. Does Scanners III rival Prom Night III as the worst CanCon horror sequel? The answer may make your head a-splode.
David Hewlitt (star of CanCon horrors Pin and Cube) returns to save the world from an evil Scanner in Scanners II: The New Order, but can he save Adam & Sarah from diminishing returns? Get ready for many head explosions, as Scare-itage spends the foreseeable future marathoning the other Scanners sequels.
We're back! It seems like releasing an episode about a scary, incomprehensible virus was a little “too soon”, so we shelved our Pontypool discussion in favour of a story about four Ts: Troubled Tweens, Teddy bears, and Troglodytes. It's the notorious, so-bad-it's-good CanCon horror movie that's fit for the pit.
Hey, the podcast disappeared! Well, don't worry, A Part Of Our Scare-itage won't stay dead, like Mary Lou Maloney or the spooky Cube from the hit film, Cube 2: Hypercube. Adam is here to offer an update and answer the question on everybody's lips: Wha Happuh? Spoiler: Expect a new episode in March!
After a lengthy break, we're back to discuss the now primitive notion of everyone in the world having at least two landline phones and how a serial killer might attack you via rotary phone. Sounds strange? That's ‘cause it is! Sarah and Adam discuss phones, phone freaking (phreaking?), hippies, conspiracies, Big Phone, and more as they look back on the British-Canadian thriller, Bells.
Lo and behold, Sarah & Adam are way too busy to meet the schedule this month. So, we present to you an assortment of outtakes from our episodes on Ginger Snaps, Scanners, and more!
David Cronenberg's Rabid was a deadly-serious film with an undeniably goofy premise at its core. What direction would Jen and Sylvia Soska take their new vision of Cronenberg's story for their remake? At the risk of sounding like clickbait, the answer may surprise you. Also, if you want to be surprised by this new release, please note that this episode contains spoilers for the Soskas' Rabid.
In preparation for its pending remake by the Soska Sisters, Sarah and Adam discuss how David Cronenberg's Rabid inspired the plague horrors of 28 Days Later and the sexual terrors of It Follows.
Cathy's Curse! It's Canada's answer to The Exorcist and The Omen, though it has more in common with Exorcist II and Omen IV. One of Canada's most notorious good-bad flicks, Sarah & Adam brave this one's internet infamy to see if there's some panache to this tale of a terror toddler. Oh, and yes, this is the “Your mother's a b----!” movie.
Sarah & Adam are thwarted by scheduling problems, so we present this collection of deleted material from past episodes. As the anniversary of this podcast looms, this lovingly handcrafted, artisanal clip show gives us a chance to revisit the show's first episodes and a few later ones to learn of Sarah's protective nature over Ginger Snaps and the incredibly spooky real life circumstances under which Adam watched The Mask. This episode is compiled from the unheard scraps of the following episodes: The Uncanny, Ginger Snaps, Curtains, Scanners, and The Mask.
If you think slasher movie clichés and criticism of Catholic church molestation scandals go together like chocolate and peanut butter, Prom Night IV might be the film for you!
In 1990, Canadians bid Mary Lou Maloney adieu for her Last Kiss. Prom Night III: The Last Kiss was her last Prom Night, though Sarah and Adam desperately wish it was theirs, too.
Sarah and Adam are only two films into their Summer of Prom, but they've already elected the late, great Mary Lou Maloney as their undead Prom Queen. Make no mistake, Mary Lou is one of horror's greatest monsters. In this extra-long episode on Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night II, your hosts discuss what makes this 50s demon great, as well as stink bombs, national treasures, and the finer points of blowjob jokes.
Sarah & Adam review Prom Night, the only disco-dancing, killer-on-the-loose murder mystery to feature Leslie Nielsen!
Sarah & Adam celebrate Canada Day in style with the Great White North's first horror film, The Mask! No, not the Jim Carrey one. The funny one.
Did you know that not only were there were sequels to David Cronenberg's Scanners, but that the CanCon horror classic inspired a spin-off series about a cop who can make your head explode? Heads aren't the only thing that explode as Sarah and Adam gush about the cheesy glory of Scanner Cop.
Sarah and Adam get ready to blow your minds with Scare-Itage's first Cronenberg!
Adam and Sarah enter their Cubist period to discuss Vincent Natali's Cube and the director's proto-Cube short film, Elevated.
Pin: It's a little bit Psycho, a little bit Magic, and a whole lot of disturbing.
Adam & Sarah use this American remake of a Canadian slasher as a springboard to discuss the trends of slasher remakes over the last 15-plus years and their favourite character actors.
Sarah & Adam dig up Killer Dwarfs(sic), the connection between horror and heavy metal, special effects, and whether you can make good horror for kids when they discuss The Gate.
Sarah & Adam celebrate Women in Horror month by discussing Jen & Sylvia Soska's American Mary.
My Bloody Valentine may be a slasher movie where a miner delivers candy-heart boxes with real human hearts in them, but Sarah & Adam discover that the film is more interested in the isolation and disappointment of leaving and returning to your hometown.
Sarah and Adam return to Silent Hill to discuss MJ Bassett's Silent Hill: Revelation.
Sarah and Adam run afoul of cultists, video-game adaptations, and a nightmarish part of Pennsylvania when they review the Canadian-shot and Canadian-scripted Silent Hill.
Sarah and Adam have been good all year and are been visited by both Krampus and Shatner Clause in this Canadian Christmas carol. Since your two horror hosts dipped heavily into the nog prior to recording things get sloppy as they discuss anthology movies, the perils of only remembering the best parts of a movie, and that damn fourth Texas Chainsaw movie where Matthew McConaughey has a robot leg.
Sarah and Adam relive their memories of Vietnam war movies as they discuss Bob Clark's Deathdream.
Serial killings! The ethics of meat! Weird conservatism! The regrets of listening to director's commentaries! Sarah & Adam sink their teeth into a meaty discussion on Canadian cannibal movie Long Pigs.
Sarah & Adam feast on the rare cannibal movie that stars members of SCTV. Yes, Andrea Martin and Eugene Levy star in Ivan Reitman's horror-comedy Cannibal Girls.
Only the joyless Canadian people would take the escapist, silly slasher genre and use it as a vehicle for exploring the unfair expectations placed on aging women. Sarah and Adam pay attention to the men and women behind Curtains and ask if the movie's full of yonic imagery or yawn-ick imagery?
Ginger (Katharine Isabelle) is experiencing mood swings, increased sexual desire, and hair where there was no hair before. It must be lycanthropy—not that you'll be hearing about that in the updated Ontario curriculum. Anyhoo, Sarah and Adam howl over this Canadian cult classic from Orphan Black's John Fawcett and Karen Walton.
In the frightening first episode of A Part Of Our Scare-itage, Sarah & Adam discuss killer cats and killer character actors as they recap Denis Héroux's The Uncanny—in which Peter Cushing recaps three stories of cats gone wild.
Coming soon! Sarah & Adam watch and discuss all the classic and not-so-classic Canadian horror movies.
