CommenScaries with Karol & Brea

Today we begin our journey into one of the most classic horror franchises: Child's Play. Join us as we watch the (surprisingly good) original FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER!!

It all comes down to this.... Pack your bags and tighten your seatbelts, because we're GOING GHOST! In the Ghost Dimension! The final episode of the Paranormal Activity franchise! What could possibly have happened to grind one of the most successful franchises in movie history to a screeching halt? The answer may surprise you! SUPPORT KAROL AND BREA'S FEATURE FILM "THE UNIVERSE WHERE"! https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-universe-where-feature-film/x/26846633#/

It's time for more activity! Long-time writer Christopher Landon steps into the director's chair for this installment (sequel? Spin-off? Who knows?) of the franchise!

Surprise! We're continuing the Paranormal Activity franchise with the most controversial (among us) film in the franchise yet! Your task (among us) is to listen to this episode and experience all of the sus(among us)pense as if you're right here among us (Paranormal Activity 4)! Currently, as of 5/28/21, streaming on Amazon Prime.

Cinematographer and resident boyfriend Tyler Clark joins us to discuss Paranormal Activity 3! If you ask Karol, he'll tell you that this is by far the best film in the franchise, so listen to find out why that is! Actually, since this is being typed by Karol, I will declare it definitively: This is the best Paranormal Activity film and anyone who says differently is wrong. NOTE: We are watching the EXTENDED Version of the film, which is available to rent on Amazon Prime and YouTube. The theatrical version is available to stream on Amazon Prime and Hulu, but if you watch that one with this episode, you WILL get out of sync. DOUBLE NOTE: The extended version is a million times better anyways so it is worth the extra effort, you lazy bum.

The sequel to the worldwide sensation, Paranormal Activity ramps up the budget, but does it ramp up the scares??

It's no secret we're fans of Blumhouse here at CommenScaries, but now we can go back to the one that started it all! Paranormal Activity is (as of 5/6/21) streaming on Starz.

*Spongebob voice* "Nosferatu!" We're going way back to the beginning for this one folks! Filmmakers Magnus Sundberg and Leo Pernia join us to discuss the silent film classic "Nosferatu"! You know it from that scene in Spongebob, now see what all the fuss is about! "Nosferatu" is in the public domain, so it's available to stream basically anywhere online (Amazon Prime, Tubi, YouTube, etc), but we recommend watching it on Amazon Prime because that's the one we watched and there are slight differences in the film print between platforms.

You know Hereditary and Midsommar... Now we're going all the way back to the beginning of Ari Aster's career: his thesis film from the American Film Institute! This surprisingly shocking and mature film from a student filmmaker is a tight 30 minutes and available to watch on Youtube! So go watch it with us!

He was a monkey. She was a lizard/dinosaur creature. Can I make it any more obvious? Karol (Team Kong) and Brea (Team Godzilla) throw down this week to watch and discuss the new installment of the "Monsterverse" which might just be the film to save cinemas?? Godzilla vs. Kong is streaming on HBO Max until April 30th

Netflix claims this is the #1 most watched movie in the country, even though most people have not even heard of it. So we investigated! Join us as we watch that turned out to be one of the weirdest movies we've seen in the history of this podcast!

The worst-reviewed Blumhouse movie in history is coming out of the darkness and right into your ears!! Actor Jordan Hutchings joins the two-timers club to discuss this infamous stinker. The Darkness is (as of 4/1/21) available to stream on Netflix. TW: This film deals with depictions of eating disorders and self-harm

YOU BITCHES!THIS IS MURDER! MURDER! YOU'LL ALL BE GUILTY! AND YOU'RE DOING IT FOR NOTHING! KILLING ME WON'T BRING BACK YOUR GODDAMN HONEY! NO WHAT IS IT WHAT IS IT!? AH NO NOT THE BEES! NOT THE BEES! AHHHH MY EYES! MY EYES!

If you deep fry a circumcised foreskin would it taste like a calamari? The Wicker Man is (as of 3/18/21) streaming on Amazon Prime and the Criterion Channel

It's the remake everyone has been asking for! We're flying back to Texas with brand new characters in a movie that has scenes and dialogue and a runtime and exists. Available to stream for free on Tubi

This week, we're covering the most dangerous event to Texans since the election of Governor Greg Abbott: The Texas Chain Saw Massacre! Watch along with us (or just listen if you're too scared) for one of the most visceral and intense horror films to ever grace our screens! Available to watch for free on IMDbTV and Tubi (as of 3/4/21)

We're back, baby! And we're talking It Follows, one of the biggest indie horror hits in recent memory! Passions fly so grab your popcorn and take a seat in the splash zone, because we're getting followed! NOTE: Karol's mic cut out shortly into the episode, so most of it had to be recorded from his phone

Welcome back everyone's favorite Creep Alex Steinberg as we discuss the sequel to the mumblecore horror hit Creep! We've got music, games, and trivia so you are NOT going to want to miss this one, folks!!!

On this very special CommenScary, we welcome actor and friend of the show Jordan Hutchings to celebrate Brea's 21st birthday! The crew watch and talk about possibly the only birthday-themed horror movie, Happy Death Day! So join us for an episode filled with games, drinks, and prizes where you can pretend you're at a party with us instead of stuck in your house!

It's the little things that get you caught!

Karol and Brea get Steinberg'd as they watch the low budget cult hit Creep with friend of the show Alex Steinberg! We talk Mormons, stinky breath paste, and set a new pod record for most uses of the word "penis". Don't change that channel!

Is this the best movie we'll ever cover on this podcast? How many seconds of screentime does Chris Isaak need to have his name in the opening credits? Who gives the REAL best performance in this film? Join Karol and Brea as they answer all of these questions and more in a passionate commentary on one of the best films ever made featuring BREA'S MOM, DEVI FOURNIER!! Be sure to comment what tattoo from this movie Brea should get, and she has to get it. We have the audio record of the agreement and it's legally binding. #dontbesilent

#footstepsintheflour The CommenScaries gang teams up with special guest Bella Lamie to watch the Zoom horror phenomenon Host! Which character do we want to die first? Who owns the pair of pasty white legs? Does Brea believe that Karol could possibly have said something funny on the internet? Tune in to find out!

Brace yourselves for this one, folks. The CommenScaries crew are watching Eli Roth's splatter pic, The Green Inferno, a film that Brea was too nauseated by to finish the first time she tried to watch it, and a film that Karol knows nothing about. Can they make it through without throwing up? The answer may surprise you. The Green Inferno is currently streaming on Netflix in the United States (as of January 2021)

We've all felt a lot of angst about 2020... so there's never been a better time to unwind with a lesser-known horror gem, ANGST! Take some time to chill out with this relaxing, low-key episode and enjoy one of the best horror films you've probably never seen. Angst is available to stream on Amazon Prime and we highly recommend you watch along with the episode for this one!

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL, AND TO ALL A MID SOMMAR! Celebrate the holidays with Karol and Brea as we all watch Ari Aster's second feature film, Midsommar, which is a Christmas movie because it has snow in the beginning of it! We are joined by cinematographer Tyler Clark to discuss what makes this film so great in one of our weirdest episodes yet!

Here it is, folks: The FIRST episode that we EVER recorded! Listen as we cut through the weeds and discover how making a podcast works, where we don't even have the name for it yet! Ah, what young and delightful fools we were, watching the Scott Derrickson-directed "Sinister"!

The holidays are just around the corner, so celebrate with our certified Christmas Movie, The Conjuring 2! This is definitely our strangest episode yet, so buckle in for a good time in which we definitely do not fall asleep during this movie! Again, The Conjuring 2 was available on HBOMax at the time of recording this, but is no longer. That may happen a couple more times but not too many, we promise!

It's time to breakdown the film that launched the biggest horror franchise of our time: The Conjuring. This episode proves that big mainstream horror doesn't have to skimp on artistry, as well as proving that technical difficulties can lead to a big improvement for the episode! NOTE: At the time of recording, The Conjuring was on HBOMax, which is how we watched it. At the time of publishing, it is not on any major streaming services, but I'm sure you can find it using methods I'm not legally allowed to disclose here.

The inaugural episode of CommenScaries! Join Karol and Brea as they take on George Romero's 1968 classic indie. With a special appearance by Karol's Mom!

What's the deal with Mommy? How much salami is too much? Where did Jesus go after he died? These questions and more will be answered as we dive into Goodnight Mommy with special guests Stephanie Sui and Cate Hynes!

Is Hereditary the best horror movie ever made? Filmmaker Magnus Sundberg joins us to find out.
