Scream Stream

Welcome to Scream Stream's new format. Instead of doing a movie review, I'm going to be focusing on the horror related news of the week and new releases. I will still be reviewing movies, but I'm reserving those for the TikTok page. This week I report on AMC's massive lay-offs, the announcement of They Listen starring Jon Cho, and the Soska Sisters turning American Mary into a series.

For this week's episode I cover a film that many compare to Call of Duty: WWII Zombies. It's not exactly like a video game, but is it a good movie?

This week I review a film that's been in my queue for a while. I initially thought this was a foreign film, but instead, it's a collaboration between East and West.

This week I take a look at 2018's teen slasher, "Hell Fest." Hell Fest Written by: Seth M. Sherwood, Blair Butler Directed by: Gregory Plotkin Stars: Cynthea Mercado, Stephen Conroy, Amy Forsyth Plot Synopsis: A masked serial killer turns a horror-themed amusement park into his own personal playground, terrorizing a group of friends while the rest of the patrons believe that it is all part of the show.

This week I visit the classic haunted house film, The Changeling, staring George C Scott (Exorcist III).

This week I review a film that was hyped up on the horror blogs due to some famous cameos called Charlie's Farm. Did it live up to that hype?

This week I review 'Always Watching' which was suggested to me by Erick Vasquez. Is it as good as the YouTube series?

On the original first episode of Scream Stream I reviewed Lisa and the Devil.

This week I'm taking it old school with one of my childhood favorites, Pumpkinhead. Does it stand the test of time and hold up to modern classics?

This week I review a film I've been extremely excited for; Terrifier. Does this film, from the director of All Hallow's Eve, live up to my expectation? I also give you the latest streaming releases on Netflix, Prime, Hulu, and Shudder.

his week I review The Midnight Man where we learn some games are better left unplayed.

This week I take a small step back in time and revisit a classic from John Carpenter. In the Mouth of Madness is the third film in his Apocalypse series, but does it stand the test of time?

This week I finally get to review the 2018 haunted house film, Winchester. I've heard the film is pretty hit or miss with audiences so, let's see how I felt about the true story film.

This week I review a haunted house film from Peru titled, "We Are Not Alone," or "No Estamos Solos." This is my first Peruvian horror film so, I wasn't exactly sure what to expect.

This week, by suggestion of Eric Vasquez and Mervyn Stevenson, I'm reviewing The Last Man on Earth from 1964. This stars one of my favorite actors of all time, Vincent Price.

This week I review the not so conventional zombie film from Netflix, Cargo. This is an Austrailian horror film set during the zombie apocalypse. Is there enough zombie action to hold your attention in the character driven film?

This week I dive back into one of my guilty pleasure horror subgenres, found footage. The Levenger Tapes has been in queue for quite some time and I've finally gotten around to watching it. This ones does some thing that I haven't seen any other FF film do before; we get to see who found the footage and see them watch it!

After some major PC issues, I'm back with a brand new episode! This week I take a look at 2016's social media horror flick, Friend Request.

I have some bad news, Screamers. I updated my PC to the new Windows 10 April update and it broke my sound card. I can't record or edit any new Scream Stream recordings so, until another update is released, or I get a MacBook Pro, I'll be releasing some of the episodes from the original run of Scream Stream from 2014. For our first replay episode, I review Annabelle. This episode was originally published on October 24th, 2014.

This week we go 'round in circles with 2017's Happy Death Day. It caught a lot of flack for being PG-13, but does that mean it's bad?

Just how good can a microbudget film be? The Bad Ben trilogy has gained a cult follow despite its low budget style. Does it really deserve such a following? Find out on this week's episode.

The Irish have a way with tell great ghost stories, but is Nails great story, or just another generic tale? Find out in this week's episode. I also cover a few new streaming releases as well as two that I'm extremely excited for.

Business Insider claims the Spanish film, Veronica, is so scary, people are turning it off half way through the film. But is it really? I aim to answer that question on this week's episode.

This week I'm giving you my spoiler-free review of J.J. Abrams' latest film in the Cloverfield series, The Cloverfield Paradox. I went into this one mostly blind.

I also cover this week's latest streaming releases and give a couple of mini-reviews of two new Shudder additions.

The time has finally come and my choice has been made; my review of Jigsaw is here. Hopefully, after this episode I won't wake up in a dimly lit room with a bucket on my head. I also cover one piece of exciting news regarding the classic show, In Search of.

It's my birthday, and to celebrate my 40th I'm reviewing the 80's classic, Happy Birthday to Me! I saw this recently on Shudder and decided that instead of doing the obvious thing, and review Happy Death Day, I'd go off the beaten path a bit.

Cathy's Curse is one of those deep cuts that I only recently heard about thanks to the podcasts, Shock Waves and The Movie Crypt. After seeing it was available on Shudder, I knew I had to review it for the show.

Shark films have seen a resurgence over the last few years starting with the craziness of Sharknado. However, there have been a few shark films to take themselves seriously; one of which being 2017's 47 Meters down. I take a look at this new addition to Netflix and let you know if it's worth your time. I also give my thoughts on the latest trailers for Hellraiser: Judgment and Victor Crowley.

This week on Scream Stream I review Mike Flanagan's much anticipated film, Before I Wake. This film was ready for release in 2015 but due to financial Relativity Media's bankruptcy, the film remained in limbo. Netflix was able to pick it up and finally release it to the public!
