Little Shop of Horrors (1960) Would it be a drunken horror watching Shudder Bugs episode if there weren’t technical and sound issues? I don’t think so, so that’s what we’re bringing you this week! This might not be the Little Shop of Horrors musical, but we’ll still sing for you. Big Al returns as guest […]

The Raven (1845) Welcome back to Shudder Bugs Shorts! This week Samantha is bringing you one of the most classic horror shorts, The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe. It’s spooky, a little sad, and a lot harder to read aloud than you might think, but makes for a great little tale to start November. Grab […]
Creep (2014) It’s Halloween, baby! Lordy a lot has happened in the last… too long, but we’re back for your ear holes, a nice long tubby for you to enjoy. Fair warning, we recorded this episode before the world fell apart, back when there was innocence and we only cared about how many d*cks we […]

We creep on an office party, shop til we drop, get some sweet sweet revenge, move through a cocaine […]
Frozen (2010) TUCK AND ROLL! No, but seriously, tuck and roll if you’re going to jump from a high point. Oh, and if you’re in the wilderness are there are wild wolves (that I can only assume must be rabid because of their totally unnatural behaviour), make a lot of noise. They should just leave […]
The Amityville Murders (2018) The Amityville murders are a mystery that may never be solved, but this 2018 film tries to portray what that night may have looked like. Unfortunately, you’ll need to be drunker than we got to enjoy it! You’re better off watching the 2005 Amityville Horror because at least you get to […]
Practical Magic (1998) All I’ve ever wanted was someone to wake me up with midnight margaritas! That and to have magical powers and a baller house.

Urban Legend (1998) Sometimes, in the midst of recording a Halloween extravaganza, your guest doesn’t make it through the movie. Ever the champ, though, our good friend and special guest this week rallied through to the bitter end! If you’ve ever wondered how related the size of your hair is to how crazy you are, […]
All Hallows’ Eve (2013) Have you ever stumbled upon an ancient abandoned pool that has a bit of swamp water remaining at the bottom? Have you ever inspected that further and found something beneath the gross and disgusting murky mess? Have you gotten close enough to the putrid liquid to see the nasty outline of […]
The Possession of Hannah Grace (2018) We’re still not sure if this movie makes us want to never visit a morgue or ever work in one, but it makes us want more vodka! Honestly? At this point, we’ve seen better, we’ve seen worse, and we’re not sure that we’re seeing properly at all. But grab […]
Halloween Countdown 2019! Welcome to day 5 of the Halloween countdown 2019! It’s been a sec, so this episode is a catch-up (no, not Ketchup, sorry Kaeley).

I Still Know What You Did Last Summer (1998) If audio porn is what you’re looking for this is… probably not the best place for you. But if you’re looking for two chicks to get drunk and sexy… still not quite the right place. BUT, if you’re looking for two drunk chicks watching a 90s […]
Pumpkinhead (1988) It’s an alien! Wait… is it? Did we just make that part up? What IS Pumpkinhead? Why does his head NOT look like a pumpkin?! How much did we drink this time?!?! I can’t promise this episode will answer any of those questions, but I’m sure you’ll be asking more by the end! […]
The Silence (2019) You’re in for a treat this time! Your gals got new mics so we can be deeeep in your ear holes… This episode is not A Quiet Place, but I mean, really… Is it worth the watch? Could it have been better or worse? Could we get more drunk? Dive on in […]
Ouija (2014) Who else had a Ouija board as a kid? Mine didn’t summon any demons… as far as I know, but maybe that has to do with why I have an obsession with horror and all things sinful
Hereditary (2018) Is it contagious? Is it environmental? Is it psychosomatic? No, it’s Hereditary, and it’s F*CKED! Things we learned from this insane modern horror movie: you have a severe nut allergy? Keep a damn epipen on hand! You’re driving at breakneck speed (heh) down a dark highway? Don’t stick your damn head out the […]
Q & A (2019) This week we’re mixing it up! We asked YOU to ask US ANYTHING! And you really did. Even though we asked at the last possible second before recording. So if you want to know our favourite horror films, drinks, and a whole ton of other things, grab a drink and dive […]

Swimfan (2002) Not sure how in 2002 they were able to create a perfect visual representation of Kaeley’s future, but here it is!

Valentine (2001) What better way to tie up February than with a drunken Valentines disaster? Also, if you haven’t seen this movie, it has Angel in his prime which is always worth it. Your gals spent the better part of February coughing up their lungs and on a variety of drugs (not the fun kind, […]
(2008) “For our two year anniversary we should let Netflix choose our movie!” And we did. And we’re sorry…

Silent Night, Deadly Night (1984) In this episode we’ve got a very fun built in drinking game!

Fill […]
Better Watch Out (2017) Disclaimer: Shudder Bugs is not a podcast that stays even remotely on topic (as is evidenced by this episode, in which we go on another Skip rant and discuss deeply the reality of threesomes). Shudder Bugs is not responsible for any damage to your ears when listening to our shrill voices […]
Jennifer’s Body (2009) If Adam Brody was kind of a murderer with a totally safe-space van, would you still…? Because we would, as we discuss thoroughly throughout this dark comedy from 2009. What would you do if your best friend pterodactyl screeched at you then barfed spiky black shit in your face? And finally, what […]
Child’s Play (1988) Of course in this episode we go on about being so professional… Welcome to Shudder Bugs, where the tech doesn’t work and the points don’t matter!

It Comes at Night (2017) Sometimes a movie just doesn’t hit that hard, so you have to hit the vodka even harder! That’s what happened to us for It Comes at Night. This not-quite zombie movie is a slow burn, which is not what we do well. But if you’re looking for a poorly produced […]
