Instant Screaming

The leaves are changing, the sun is setting earlier, and the smell of woodfire is in the air Screamers. That can only mean one thing - crazy people are being burned alive in the woods. Or wait, it's fall and we did a camping episode. Yeah thats the one. We sat down with local eaglescout and #cuteboy Alex Trader to talk scary camping movies. The biggest thing we learn: like, fuck bears. Seriously.

What are you scared of screamers? Because The Midnight Society appears to be afraid of conciseness and non-popular opinions. Yes we're here to rave about the IT reboot, play a too comlicated game of Friendpocalypse and kick serious ass at trivia. Also, listen to our weird dream-casting of the IT kids as grown-ups and Flash fawns over the brillance of child actors. Again.

Grab your dollies and scoot up to the fire because The Midnight Society sure has a lot to say about Annabelle: Creation. This slumber party sleeper hit was certainly a divisive film all around the circle as we stayed up way too late on a Wednesday to debate the KINDS of haunted dolls that would be the most fucked up (Thanks Friendpocalypse!) and get an assist from some Small Soldiers in our war against evil. It's monvie pitches and another photo based trivia and we all know James Wan is LISTENING AND TRYING TO STEAL OUR IDEAS FOR FIFTY BUCKS OKAY.

Snuggle Up Midnight Society, we're going slumber party scares with The Tale of Wish Upon! (Fun fact: the actual first AYAOTD episode was also a monkeys paw so...get new ideas or whatever.) It's a PG 13, be careful what you wish for, omg what happened to Ryan Phillipe, Barb from Stranger Things fun fest as we look at one of the most overlooked movies of the summer. We play wish trivia, FRIENDPOCALYPSE our ideal genie situation and create an entire Wish Upon franchise that HOLLYWOOD NEEDS TO HEAR OKAY? 

And The finish line is just around the bend. I'll pause this game so our love will never end Screamers. Come sit down with ACTUAL video game expert Mike TV, back from our Alien Abduction episode, as we talk Uwe Boll, Clint Howard and why video game horror movies are...whatever the are! Mike plays 10 for 10 2.0 on expert level, Justin talks nazi lesbian vampires, and Flash is out to sea because she only owns a Wii.

Ahoy there Midnight Society! Gather round and get wet because we're traveling down, down, down to the depths of the water horror genre with Dame Amanda Moore. We learn some interesting facts about SHARKS, review a lot better movies than 47 meters down, play a game of FRIENDPOCALYPSE at the bottom of the Ocean and plan for SHARK OF THE COVENANT. God that movie sounds so fucking good.

We're all born naked and the rest is drag, Who, who do you think you are? Who do you think you are screamers? This month we're tackling that most releveant issue, Gay Babadook. Is he gay? IS that the meta narrative? Does he LITERALLY come out of the closet?! We also watch one of the only other (!!!) gay horror movies. We're joined by Jess Rivera and put on our smarty caps to discuss the most TIMELY episode we've ever done.    #Babashook

Greetings new members of The Midnight Society! We're super stoked to bring you episode 2 of NOW SLAYING! We delve into Ridley Scott's Alien: Covenant, play horror trivia and try to navigate the overcomplexity of FRIENDPOCALPSE in space!

Ouija Board, would you work for me? I have got to say hello to an old SCREAMER. BAHHHH. Terrible. It's our board game episode friends and fiends, so pull up a chair, open a mountain dew and get to rolling them die. We joined an old classic with a new classic (?) and fight about what makes a good movie. Hint: a plot generally helps. DAMN. We're joined by charming pal Nick Baldwin as he rants and raves about board games, bands and Brian Gilbert. WILL HE TOPPLE HIS THRONE?!! #SnakeEyes

Can't you feel 'em circlin' honey? Can't you feel 'em swimmin' around? Well we said we were gonna do it and we did it. Tune in for the twists and turns as we take a nautical deep dive into America's favorite Tara Reid vehicles. Spolier alert: we loved them. #SharkWeek Featuring: Brian Gilbert, Bob Rose, Kristina Green, Eddie Lee, Matt Hachi Reid, Letitia Getka, Rachel Reckling, Brad Bukowsky, Bobby Harris and Brian Schmukler. 

Greetings new members of The Midnight Society! We're super stoked to bring you this first of many very special episodes that we're calling NOW SLAYING, reviews of new release horror! Meet the gang, hear they play trivia, listen in as they all almost stop being friends, and then pit their friends against one another in FRIENDPOCALYPSE. 

Voraciously devouring the way things are today, savagely deflowering the good ol' U.S.A., It's Reefer Screaming, Instant Madness, nah it's INSTANT SCREAMING!!! Terrence came out to see us from Colorado and give us a peek behind the Kimono so to speak as we sit down, for the first time ever, as a family. We talk about Colorado's number one export, we all lose Brian Gilberts 10 for 10 again, and discuss whatever the hell they were thinking when they made Halloweed. 

Hey Mickey, you're so fine, you're so fine you blow my mind HEY SCREAMERS. Get pumped, pump it up, raise your fists and let's hear it for episode 58 team! Justin and Flash sat down with local sports expert, and returning guest, Phil Doccolo, in his hail mary to save episode 58. Listen as we explore the depths of what cheer horror has for us. Justin leads the game, finally, Flash gets way too intense about cheer stunts and Phil once again adds his unique spin on the horror genre.  Gimme a D-I-E!

Baby love, my baby love, I need you oooo how I need you Screamers. We're back with the sultan of swing (if that was a podcast term, I'm not sure) Matt Pie of AILBS and Bonus Disc fame. I KNOW. We were excited too. We sat down to watch two baby themed horror movies: Antibirth and The Baby. That's right, we're doing Shudder movies now so strap in nerds. Tune in to listen to Sarah be insinuated upon, Justin go blank for blank and Matt insist we play the second round of Brian Gilbert. No one ever plays round 2 Matt. No one.

WAKE ME UP INSIDE. WAKE ME UP INSIDE. SAVE ME. Hey Screamers. How are you feeling today? Good? Need to go to the doctor? Are you feeling well? How's your healthcare? Need a referral? Let's talk about you. JK. Let's talk about the re-animator series. Well, the first two. We sit down with Tim Bernheimer, MD probably, to talk the healthcare industry, his robot house and the BIGGEST BATS IN THE WORLD. #GoWestYoungMan

Touch me, It's so easy to leave me all alone with my memory of my days listening to this PODCAST. Hello my beautiful screamers, it's time to get cuddly cause we're talking Cats with Chuck Green. Listen in as he completely forgets he's done this show before, Justin and I wax poetic about being cat owners and we review some dumb ass horror movies. #HerePussyPussy

The time has come, our Screamer friends, to talk of many things. Of shoes and ships and ceiling wax, of cabbages and the first 2/3 of Kevin Smith's Great White North trilogy. This week, Flash records this episode with a brutal bout of food poisoning so she's probably actually dead. Justin sits down with Flash and her roommate to talk Kevin Smith, play a game, hang out and make bets on how long before Flash falls asleep at the table. 

Tis the season to be SCARY (fa la la la la la la die.) The snow is falling and the TV is on screamers. Justin and Flash cuddle up nice and cozy with Jesse Cumor to review two Christmas themed horror flicks. We talk Krampus, birthdays, comedy and Christmas of course!  #SlayRide

Who let the dogs out Screamers. Who. WHO. WHOM.  It's been a crazy couple of weeks in podcast land. We're currently in the middle of transitioning back to being a strong, independent podcast that don't NEED NO network.  We would like to take the time to thank Bob, Rex and everyone at Thundergrunt for a great two years. We love you losers.  OKAY SO, a couple of weeks ago Flash and Justin sat down with TWO ACTUAL DOGS to discuss one actual movie and one thing that Justin made us watch. Honestly, it's been so long that we don't remember the episode soooo HAVE AT IT. #DoYouLikeDags
