Today Griffey and Dandino return to Camp Bloodbath in The Final Girls. They cut open the movies blend of 80's sleepaway camp horror riffs and powerful emotional core, the dynamics of horror fans entering their favorite slasher flick, and if the movie would have been served better by attempting to further deconstruct the genre. This movie is so funny and had an enomrous heart that fills this comedic riff into much more than it's peers.  Synopsis: A young woman grieving the loss of her mother, a famous scream queen from the 1980s, finds herself pulled into the world of her mom's most famous movie. Reunited, the women must fight off the film's maniacal killer. Starring: Taissa Farmiga, Malin Akerman, Adam Devine, Alexander Ludwig, Nina Dobrev, Alia Shawkat, Thomas Middleditch, Angela Trimbur Directed by Todd Strauss-Schulson Youtube: https://youtu.be/UzgrLgeIo9o For all of the Mr. Creamjeans' News at https://www.misfitparade.com/ Support the show on the Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/messedupmoviespod

Kelsi and Trey explore Jane Schoenbrun's Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma, one of their favorite and strangest movies of the year. They unpack Hannah Einbinder and Gillian Anderson, the fake slasher franchise, Hollywood's obsession with zombie IP, Little Death, Final Girls, queer reclamation, and why Schoenbrun's overwhelming cinematic language can be both exhilarating and deeply uncomfortable. They also discuss “Cinema Dysmorphia," an idea that movies can become so embedded in how we understand ourselves that they help us recognize something about our identity or reality while simultaneously distorting those things. In that way, Camp Miasma becomes a poisoned love letter to horror about the movies that never really leave us.

Released in 2015, The Final Girls features a well known cast of young actors and aims to riff on the classic camp slasher as well as try and tell a heartfelt story about grief and letting go.

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.

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! Instrucciones aquí.Esta entrega fue traída gracias a:Productora Ejecutiva: Blanca LópezCo-Productor: Dany SaadiaCo-Productor: Román RangelAgradecimiento especial a nuestros Patreons: Adriana Fernández, Agustín Galván, Cris Mendoza, Fernando de Anda, Franky González, Jaime Rosales, Juan Espíritu, Zert, Álvaro Vázquez, Arturo Manrique, Fabiola Sándoval, Lau Berdejo, Marce, Miguel Huesca, Alejandro Alemán, Arturo Aguilar, Enrique Vázquez, Ernesto Diezmartínez, Mariana Padilla, Tania RG y Fernando Alonso.¡Gracias a nuestros suscriptores en Twitch ! Como el buen Jiff01Tú 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¿Quieren continuar la discusión?

Friday Night Frightfest
Scream 7 and The Final Girls

Friday Night Frightfest

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.

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.

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.
