This week Whitney and Lauren are wrapping up the Fear Street trilogy with Fear Street 1666. Does this one hold up to the first two? (Whitney also wants everyone to know she knows they didn't use makeup to de-age the actors in The Irishman and IT: Chapter 2, it was digitally done.)
This week we talk about the second installment in the Fear Street trilogy with Fear Street 1978. Starring Sadie Sink this one invokes the spirit of our favorite 80s slashers like Friday the 13th and Sleepaway Camp while an ax-wielding killer makes his way through Camp Nightwing.

If there's one thing in this world we know is true, it's that we can't pass up a James Wan flick. That's why this week we're covering The Conjuring and talking all about the creepy incidents on set, why Bathsheba ranks up there with the Lipstick Demon, and why Whitney won't allow a Ouija board in her house even if it is made by Parker Brothers.

This week we're joined by our friend, Blake, from the podcast Midweek Matinee as we talk about the 2017 comedy-horror flick, Mom and Dad, starring Nicolas Cage and Selma Blair. Tune in as we chat about whether or not we want to ever kill our kids, what Lauren is changing her Twitter bio to, and how Blake is sure the pivotal moment in this entire film revolves around a toy dump truck.
An alternate title for this episode could've been "Lauren Is Itchy" because in this week's episode, we cover the 1990 spider movie Arachnophobia. Does Lauren stay itchy? Why does Whitney know so much about spiders? Was Delbert's insecticide street legal? Find out and be itchy with us!
This week we have vampires! We have boardwalks! We have men in super tight pants playing saxophones! That's right! We're covering the 1987 teen horror movie, The Lost Boys, starring Corey Haim, Jason Patric, Keifer Sutherland, and Corey Feldman. There's also mention of Labyrinth, as per usual.

Starring Kristen Connolly, Will Rogers, and Kether Donohue as members of a small Maryland town that gets overrun by isopods. Plus, a small segment of the show is dedicated to the body horror trope of a fingernail falling off, despite no one losing a single fingernail in this entire movie.
This week we talk about Dave Franco's directorial debut, The Rental. When two couples embark on a weekend getaway to an AirBnB by the ocean, things go awry. (SHOCKER.)

Do we somehow manage to bring Labyrinth into the conversation? Listen to find out!
This week we cover Whitney's favorite sub-genre of horror called "Why would you put your face so close to that?" In Ridley Scott's Alien, starring Sigourney Weaver, Tom Skerritt, and John Hurt, many people put their faces close to things they know nothing about and chaos ensues. There's also a cat named Jones, who Whitney and Lauren suspect might be the mastermind behind this entire massacre. Grab your favorite Facehugger or Xenomorph and get cozy for this week's episode!

In what we like to call our first two-for-one episode, Lauren and Whitney dive into the 2005 film Dark Water, starring Jennifer Connelly, John C. Reilly, and Tim Roth AND discuss the creepy similarities between this movie and the 2013 disappearance of Canadian college student, Elisa Lam, from the Cecil hotel in Los Angeles.
This week we're joined by our friends, Brian and Ashvin, from the Horror Movie Club podcast as talk about one of the biggest wtf movies of the 90s - Face/Off. Do we discuss how nobody noticed the difference in John Travolta and Nicolas Cage's characters? Yes. Do we talk about the John Woo's attempt to make Joan Allen a sex symbol of the 90s? Absolutely. Do we laugh more than we have on maybe any episode? We do.
This week Whitney and Lauren are discussing the 1999 found footage groundbreaker, The Blair Witch Project. Find out if they think the movie has stood the test of time or if it's now just basically a bad home movie.

In this episode of Lights, Camera, No we talk about the 2001 horror flick, Thirteen Ghosts, starring Matthew Lillard, Shannon Elizabeth, and Tony Shaloub.

We made it to 2021! This week we discuss an 80s classic with 1984's Nightmare on Elm Street. Starring Heather Langenkamp, Johnny Depp and Robert Englund, this horror favorite hits all the required 80s buttons and we talk about it all. Plus, Lauren trades in her usual love of Kevin Bacon for a young Johnny Depp, so that alone is reason to listen.

Join us while we discuss the movie, along with a few spirals off-topic. You know, it's what we do.
We're back and we're kicking off the holiday season with a cult classic, Silent Night, Deadly Night.

We want to know what parents we're letting their kids see this movie in the first place! Join us to hear what we thought and whether or not this movie makes the LCN cut.
This week, here at LCN, we decided to cover something on a lighter level. With everything going on, we just wanted to laugh, which is exactly why we chose Troll 2, possibly the worst movie ever made. Listen to find out what we think about this atrocity of a movie and laugh along with us!

This week Whitney, Eric and Lauren review the 2013 horror movie, Oculus, by Mike Flanagan. At least they try to. At one point they're all so focused one of the character's hairstyles, things really go off the rails. Regardless, this is their review and they're sticking to it.
This week we're talking about yet another Kevin Bacon film, Stir of Echoes. Surprise, surprise, it was Lauren's pick but that's fine because we have a Bacon quota to meet every month. Listen while we talk about all the WTF moments as well as a brief musical interlude by Whitney. You. Are. Welcome.

Reunited and it feels so good! This week all three hosts are back to discuss the 2010 horror movie, Insidious. Starring Rose Byrne and Patrick Wilson, the movie focuses on a family trying to keep evil spirits from trapping their son in a comatose realm known as The Further. This movie scarred Lauren for life but still, she insists on watching it every so often. (Maybe to see if she's gotten tougher? We don't know.) Regardless, listen to your hosts pick apart some of the more questionable decisions a family can make when faced with demons. (Spoiler alert: There's a lot.)
This week with Eric out, Lauren and Whitney review the 2016 Kevin Bacon film, The Darkness. Will Lauren's love for Mr. Bacon weigh heavily on her rating? Will Kevin Bacon leave us another secret review? We don't know, but you can listen to this episode anyways. Enjoy!
