We continue our month of mother's day movies with a horror mom that's more cautionary than some of our previously celebrated moms. We watched and finally got to record our episode for Lights Out. If you're a long time listener you know anything that as regular and well crafted jump scares really scares Cyndi. However was it enough to kill her? You'll have to listen to find out and join us next week as we wrap up mother's day and begin June with The Final Girls.
As soon as I arrived at Crypticon Seattle, I made a beeline to the celebrity meet and greet room, knowing that Nathan Baesel was going to be in attendance. This event is the flagship horror community gathering in the Pacific Northwest. I didn’t know whether I’d get the chance to interview the actor who played one of my all-time favorite slasher villains, Leslie Vernon. The lines for these meet-and-greets can get long, and I might not have enough time for an interview. This day, luck was on my side. It’s the twenty-year anniversary of the cult classic meta-slasher film Behind the Mask: The Legend of Leslie Vernon. Not only did I get the opportunity, but I also discovered that The Scariest Things could do our part to help evangelize by getting the word out about the just-announced sequel, Behind The Mask II: The Return of Leslie Vernon. For those of you unfamiliar with the movie, it is one of the great meta-horror movies in the slasher genre. It stands side by side with Scream, The Final Girls, and Wes Craven’s New Nightmare as a gold standard of meta-horror. Like those peer films, it uses wit and familiarity with slasher film tropes. It winks and nudges, and then gets SERIOUS. The movie also emerged at the dawn of the found-footage horror film. It uses the verisimilitude of the documentary crew following the actions of a serial killer, convinced that by playing to Leslie’s ego, the film crew was immune from his depradations. They couldn’t have been more wrong. And yet, he let them in on all his secrets. It’s an absolute must-watch for fans of knife-wielding maniac movies. For more insight on Leslie Vernon, The Scariest Things previously discussed this film in podcast Episodes 199: Mockumentaries and 130: Masked Killers. The Big Announcement: Time has been kind to Nathan, as he has kept up with his cardio… an important factor for a hard-working serial killer. He is all set to put the mask back on. Now it’s time to get the band back together. Scott Glosserman returns to direct the film, and David Stieve is back to write the screenplay. Nathan will be joined by our final girl, Angela Goethals (Taylor Gentry), returning to do battle with Leslie. The legendary Robert Englund (Doc Halloran) is back to train her. The closing moments of the first movie suggested that a good serial killer is hard to kill. It just took 20 years to get him back on screen! Click here for the movie’s Kickstarter Campaign. It is being scheduled for release in 2027. There are some awesome exclusive add-ons, including a replica Leslie Vernon Mask, a trip to the shoot, a scythe prop, advance cast and crew screenings (That means if you wanted to meet Robert Englund… here’s your chance!), and all the way up to getting a chance to be killed on screen by Leslie in the movie! I mean, come on… how cool is that? They’ve already unlocked a couple of the stretch goals. The next big one ($300,000) is for a new horror icon cameo. Such is the joy of Kickstarter! From my perspective, I’m really hoping they hit the “More Shooting Time” Stretch goal ($500,000). That can mean the world to production quality. Do it! Contribute! The power of the Scariest Things compels you! C’mon, you know you want a T-shirt. It’s for a good horror cause. The Interview with Nathan Baesel: As noted before, I got lucky. Nathan had a free moment, and he was very generous with his time. Needless to say, I got a huge kick out of this chat. Check out my interview with him in this player link: A Message Straight from Nathan: In addition to the interview, he was eager to make a Kickstarter pitch.

Grab your popcorn uglies because tonight we're diving headfirst into a blood soaked lineup of the dumbest final girls in horror history. We've clawed through the crypt of our horror library and exhumed 6 of the most catastrophically clueless final girls to ever survive by accident. We rank them from least dumb to absolute dumbass, dissecting every flaw and (begrudgingly) the few strengths that somehow kept them breathing. On this episodes Junior Mints Movie club Review, we pull on our headphones and took a listen (and a look) at A24's newest movie “Undertone”, toted as “The scariest movie you'll ever hear”.

Uno de los tropos más representativos del cine de horror, especialmente del slasher, es la existencia de La Chica Final, o “esa que no murió”. Hay quienes las ven como figuras inspiracionales que con ingenio, son capaces de identificar y superar cualquier peligro, pero otros cuestionan su existencia como un mero instrumento de sadismo misógino, y prefieren a sus protagonistas femeninas como villanas redimidas a la Maléfica o Cruela, que en lugar de ser víctimas son victimarias que buscan hacer justicia. ¿Acaso las sensibilidades temporales mataron al tropo? De eso y más hablaremos mientras tratamos de dilucidar quién mató… a la final Girl.Tú también puedes apoyar la creación de este y más programas y recibir crédito (para que aumentes currículum) y otros extras exclusivos en www.patreon.com/churrosypalomitas.Puedes suscribirte en YouTube para ayudarnos a producir más contenido de calidad, así como en apoyar este proyecto donando el dinero de Jeff Bezos y a ti no te cuesta nada!

This week on Friday Night Frightfest, we are pushing the boundaries of reality and the silver screen. We're comparing the highly anticipated, full-circle return of the Ghostface saga, Scream 7 (2026), with the ultimate "meta" love letter to 80s slashers, The Final Girls (2015). It's an episode dedicated to the women who survive, the rules they break, and the generational impact of slasher trauma. Scream 7 (2026) Directed by the franchise's original creator, Kevin Williamson, Scream 7 is a massive cinematic event that brings the story back to its roots. After the chaos in New York, we return to a more intimate but no less deadly focus on Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell), who is now fighting to protect her own family—specifically her daughter, Tatum (Isabel May). The film leans heavily into the 30-year legacy of the franchise, examining the trauma of being the world's most famous "Final Girl" while introducing a Ghostface that seems to know Sidney better than she knows herself. It's a sophisticated, brutal, and emotional homecoming that asks: can you ever truly leave the horror behind? The Final Girls (2015) Directed by Todd Strauss-Schulson, this cult favorite is a brilliant, neon-soaked blend of horror-comedy and emotional drama. Max (Taissa Farmiga) is a teenager mourning the death of her mother, Amanda (Malin Åkerman), a former "Scream Queen." When Max and her friends attend a tribute screening of her mother's most famous film, Camp Bloodbath, they are mysteriously sucked into the movie itself. To survive, they must navigate 80s slasher tropes, avoid the machete-wielding Billy Murphy, and—most importantly—Max must find a way to save her mother's character from her scripted death. It's a rare horror film that will make you cry as much as it makes you jump. Join us as we discuss the "Final Girl" trope and generational trauma. We'll look at how Scream 7 uses three decades of history to raise the stakes for Sidney, versus how The Final Girls uses a high-concept "movie-within-a-movie" structure to explore grief and maternal bonds. Spoilers start around 8:38.
SCHOCKER MIT SCHLOGGER | Folge 27: The Final Girls Es schlägt 13 – nicht auf der Uhr, sondern auf dem Kalender – und das bedeutet: Eine neue Episode „Schocker mit Schlogger“ ist da! Juhu! Bei so viel Freude, wer braucht da schon einen gruseligen Film? Genau, niemand. Deshalb steht heute, passend zum kürzlich gefeierten Weltfrauentag, die Horrorkomödie „The Final Girls“ auf dem Plan. Darin verschlägt es eine Freundesgruppe nicht nur ins Kino, sondern buchstäblich mitten hinein in den Film, was die Story ein wenig wie „Last Action Hero“ trifft auf Slasher-Genre wirken lässt. Stu findet den Titel – trotz deutlicher Defizite – überraschend unterhaltsam, während Schlogger … nein, das müsst ihr schon selbst hören. Außerdem erfahrt ihr, welche Rolle unsere Horror-Auszubildende in einem klassischen Slasher gehabt hätte und was die beiden SmS-Originale sonst noch so horrormäßig gesehen haben – alles in der bislang kürzesten, aber garantiert nicht finalen Folge.

This week, I talk with Stephen Graham Jones about his new short story Night of the Mannequins, and the many horror books he's also written. Listen to hear: A behind-the-scenes look at how Stephen Graham Jones writes horror: following first sentences, trusting surprise endings, and letting stories unfold without outlining or theme-driven intent. Insight into why teenage perspectives, slashers, and “final girl” narratives resonate in his work, and how horror can function as a justice fantasy in an unfair world. A deep dive into Night of the Mannequins, including its origin from a title and prank idea, plus a broader conversation on genre-blending, identity in storytelling, and why he writes to genuinely scare readers.

One hour; forty-three minutes; nine seconds. That's when the movie will end. Unless, you shut this boring, money grabbing, direct-to-video sequel off earlier.

Ready or Not (2019) is one of our favorite Feel-Good Horror Movies Consider Feel Good Horror as a palate cleanser for those of you looking for a bit of optimism and good vibes in your horror movies. For those of you who may have followed up on our recommendations from Episode 205: Mean Horror, we’re making it up to you now. Triumph over evil! Protagonists for the win! Fist pumps all around. It’s time for some emotional healing through horror with Episode 206: Feel Good Horror. Just because the primary motivation of a horror film is often to scare you, that doesn’t mean you can’t be smiling the entire time. Horror films elevate your emotions, and often that means your happiness as well as your fear. Those movies that do both are usually big winners. When we consider feel-good horror, we ask ourselves the following questions: Is there a happy ending? Do you have a real rooting interest in the protagonists? Are there good nostalgia vibes? Was evil vanquished satisfyingly? Is there a fist-pumping “OH YEAH!” moment? Is the movie fun? Are we laughing throughout? Do the antagonists/monsters get what they deserve? Does the movie make you laugh (for the right reasons)? Did I immediately want more of the movie? Is this a movie that I would go back to as “comfort food” Final girls fit this model. Horror comedies often fit this category. Horror romances are often feel-good films. But, as always, the emotional takeaways from a movie are specifically subjective. Heather has different kinds of horror: films that are comforting and familiar, and films that are light, colorful, and breezy. These are the horror movies that put you into a happy place, however you get there. Podcast Episode 206: Feel-Good Horror You can listen to us discuss our selections using the link below.

Kellie from the Final Girls returns to tackle the wildest punishment film to date with Brian and Steve. Is it an existential look at the impact of nuclear fear on the nuclear family? Is it a meta exploration of the nature of exploitation in the fetish industry? Is it a summoning circle drawing Tommy Wisseau, Neil Breen, Seymour Butts, John Waters and David Lynch into a Captain Planet like cinema experience? Or is it a post-modern retelling of The Aristocrats? Only way to find out is to tune in?

From the clever twist on classic slasher logic to the unexpectedly emotional relationship at the story's core, this movie delivers far more than its premise suggests.In this episode:

Today, Jim dives into Final Girls by Riley Sager, a mystery-thriller that refuses to let you get comfortable. Just when you think you've figured it out… think again. And again. And again.In this spoiler-lite review, Jim breaks down what makes this book such a gripping ride, why Quincy Carpenter is a standout protagonist, how Sager uses memory loss and flashbacks to build tension, and why this novel had Jim theorizing from chapter one straight through to the final reveal.Whether you're a slasher fan, a mystery lover, or just someone who appreciates clever misdirection, this one earns a spot on your TBR.

From Scream Queens to Final Girls, women have been at the center of horror cinema since its rise in the late 60s. Violence on screen mirrored the violence real women faced off screen. From the allusions to reproductive control in Rosemary’s Baby, to the undertones of domestic violence in The Shining, horror’s female protagonists cannot be divorced from political and social commentary. In her new book “Scream with Me: Horror Films and the Rise of American Feminism (1968-1980), Eleanor Johnson, professor of English and comparative literature at Columbia University, views some of our most popular scary movies through a feminist lens. And once you see the themes of women’s oppression, it’s hard to look at a horror film the same way again. This week on FilmWeek, Larry speaks with Johnson about her new book and reanalyze some horror classics together.

New York Times bestselling thriller writer Riley Sager, spoke to me about why he publishes under a pen name, how to write Hitchcockian suspense, and his latest "The House Across the Lake." Riley Sager is the bestselling author of six novels, most recently Home Before Dark and Survive the Night. His award-winning first novel, Final Girls, was a national and international bestseller that has been published in 30 countries. His latest novel, The House Across the Lake, has been named a most anticipated summer book by People, E! News, PureWow, CNN.com, CrimeReads, and many others. It's been described by CrimeReads as "... a psychological thriller version of The Great Gatsby, featuring binoculars for more accurate across-the-lake spying, smaller gatherings for a shorter list of suspects, and a truly bat**** twist for more satisfying consumption." The House Across the Lake was inspired by Riley's "... own pandemic escapes to a cabin in rural Vermont [and] oozes with slow-burn Hitchcockian suspense before building to a finale that will leave readers reeling.

This week's episode of the Empire Podcast will haunt your nightmares, but in a good way, as Chris Hewitt returns to the host chair, just in time to tackle, with Beth Webb and Amon Warmann, a Mount Rushmore question about the best Final Girls in horror movies. Their final choices may shock you, but that's nothing compared to the bit where Chris explains Freddy Krueger to Amon, who has never seen a Nightmare On Elm Street movie. Terrifying stuff. Elsewhere in the show, our intrepid trio also discuss the week's movie news (hello, Marty Supreme trailer!), and review Celine Song's Materialists, Nobody 2, and Together, the horror film in which Dave Franco and Alison Brie literally fuse together. Which wasn't weird at all for the real-life married couple, who also guest on this week's episode, talking to Mike Muncer about that very singular experience. [1:03:58 - 1:15:10 approx] And, finally on the guest front, Harry Stainer sits down with Celine Song to talk about her wonderful new movie, and the nature of love. Heavy, man. [29:02 - 44:40 approx] Enjoy, and sorry about the spooky child-like singing.
