We had an absolute blast discussing Se7en with Troy and Jason, the men behind the documentary Millennium After the Millennium!

Happy 2023 and welcome back! We're joined by author Gae Polisner to discuss The Exorcist. As you know, it's a theory of ours that everyone has that one horror movie they love and Gae (noted exact opposite of a horror enthusiast) picked The Exorcist! If you're only going to choose one, that's a great? Nonsensical? Terrifying? option. Either way, we have a blast dissecting it.

Josh and Kelly discuss the 1988 movie Maniac Cop.

If you're a fan of movies, you know who William Sadler is. He's almost certainly been in at least one of your favorite movies (like the Tim Curry meme, it would be a good personality test to see what your first association with his name and face is) and we had the best time discussing his career. NOTE: There are spoilers in this episode. Follow us:Twitter: https://twitter.com/PressPlayScream Website: https://pressplayandscream.buzzsprout.com/

We're back with our most divisive episode yet! Josh "Brian" Bermont and Kelly Hager discuss The Shining and we put author Alex Grass in the middle. Is it a great movie? Who's to say? But it's definitely beloved by many people!Alex handles his tiebreaker status with flair and just as a warning, do not eat or drink during this episode because there's a decent chance you'll choke.

Josh and Kelly are joined by friend of the pod Allison Dickson to discuss the Supreme Court draft that leaked recently that will likely overturn Roe v. Wade.

We had an absolute blast discussing Event Horizon with Chris Hanada and Tanner Kling (from Retrofit). Their series Breakwater is on Snapchat; you'll definitely want to check that out! As always, there are spoilers in this episode. (Also a discussion of actual haunted things/places we've experienced.)Also, there is a part in this where Kelly refers to Tanner as "my future cohost." There's a guideline in podcasting where you don't waste time on small talk before you start recording because invariably there's something great said that isn't on tape. In this case, Kelly discussed her potential third podcast, which would be nothing but complaints. Tanner will cohost.Watch Breakwater: https://story.snapchat.com/p/3cbb62fd-70b6-4377-992a-7ca341f12d35/1822089154924544 Retrofit: http://retrofitfilms.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/retrofitfilms Follow us:Twitter: https://twitter.com/PressPlayScream Website: https://pressplayandscream.buzzsprout.com/ 

We love a good possession movie here, and so you can imagine how delighted we were to discuss Agnes with director/screenwriter Mickey Reece and its star, Molly Quinn. While it starts as a religious horror movie, it becomes an exploration of what happens when you don't process your trauma (SPOILER: nothing good). NOTE: There are spoilers in this episode. Buy/Rent Agnes: https://www.amazon.com/Agnes-Molly-Quinn/dp/B09N62KGZ4/ref=sr_1_3?crid=33LUDII60QD4O&keywords=agnes+movie&qid=1647604963&sprefix=agnes+movie%2Caps%2C59&sr=8-3 See Mickey Reece's Other Movies: https://ondemand.drafthouse.com/page/select-films-of-mickey-reece/ Molly C.

What's your favorite scary movie? So far (and for this year, at least), our answer is the 2022 Scream. We love the references, the "requel" term, the triumphant return of "Red Right Hand" and the #forWes return to brutality. This movie is a love letter to fans and that love is very requited.NOTE: There are spoilers in this episode. We discuss it very generally and then we spoil everything. We give very clear warning before the spoilers start.Next week, we'll be discussing Wes Craven's Deadly Blessing (free on Tubi or available to rent on most streaming platforms) and Deadly Friend (available to rent on most streaming platforms).Follow us on social media:Twitter: https://twitter.com/PressPlayScream Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pressplayandscream/ Website: https://pressplayandscream.buzzsprout.com/ 

We chose a double feature based on religious horror and found an accidentally perfect pairing. Both deal with the result of unprocessed trauma and its impact on religion (in Saint Maud, it leads to a powerful attachment to an offshoot of Catholicism and God; in The Vigil, it led to a renunciation of faith from a formerly Orthodox Jewish man) and what happens when you try to avoid your grief. (SPOILER: Nothing good; you cannot outrun your demons, literal or metaphorical.) These are powerful and profound movies and we recommend both.NOTE: There are spoilers in this episode.Next week, we'll be discussing Scream (2022; releasing this week in theaters). Follow us on social media:Twitter: https://twitter.com/PressPlayScream Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pressplayandscream/ Website: https://pressplayandscream.buzzsprout.com/

We know we said that we were going to do Hellraiser and Hellbound: Hellraiser 2, but we are rapidly approaching Christmas and, since neither of us are feeling festive or jolly, we thought maybe some holiday-themed movies would help. So that's how we came to watch the other four Silent Night Deadly Night movies. And the remake. And Christmas Evil (just for fun). I don't know that it's fair to say that we're feeling any more festive, but we DID find some new favorite movies. (But not the SAME favorites.)Links Mentioned:The boy who inspired the Exorcist has been identified: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/dec/20/the-exorcist-boy-named-magazine https://skepticalinquirer.org/2021/10/demoniac-who-is-roland-doe-the-boy-who-inspired-the-exorcist/ True story referenced in Silent Night remake: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covina_massacre NOTE: There are spoilers in this episode.Next week, we'll be sharing our picks for the best horror movies released in 2021!Follow us on social media:Twitter: https://twitter.com/PressPlayScream Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pressplayandscream/ Website: https://pressplayandscream.buzzsprout.com/ 

Jason Klamm joined us for a fun chat about Day of the Dead and Land of the Dead! We're all fans of George Romero's and the way that the series succeeds as horror movies and as allegories.

We know we said that we were going to discuss Freaks and Nightbreed, but it turns out that those are maybe not the movies we felt like watching and discussing. Instead, we decided maybe it was time to spread some holiday cheer. But then we were remembered we were us, so instead, we chose to discuss Silent Night Deadly Night and Black Christmas! NOTE: There are spoilers in this episode.Next week, we'll be discussing Day of the Dead (free on Prime, Peacock and Tubi) and Land of the Dead (free on Peacock; available to rent on Prime) with Jason Klamm! Follow us on social media:Twitter: https://twitter.com/PressPlayScream Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pressplayandscream/ Website: https://pressplayandscream.buzzsprout.com/

In this episode, we discuss two of our favorite movies: I, Madman (literally the second horror movie Kelly saw and one she watched repeatedly growing up) and In the Mouth of Madness (one we both love but which Josh has watched weekly for literal years). The idea of living inside a book (or having a book come to life in the world we inhabit) sounds like a dream come true, but as we know from horror movies, it's never that easy or fun.NOTE: There are spoilers in this episode.Learn more about Wilhelm Von Homburg (Simon in In the Mouth of Madness and Vigo from Ghostbusters II): https://t.co/ol8An6Zge6?amp=1 Next week, we'll be discussing The Lost Boys and the original Fright Night (both available to rent on Prime)Follow us on social media:Twitter: https://twitter.com/PressPlayScream Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pressplayandscream/ Website: https://pressplayandscream.buzzsprout.com/
