School's out, and that means we're back in Crockett Island for another deep dive into Mike Flanagan's modern horror masterpiece, Midnight Mass. In this episode, we break down Episode 2 as strange events continue to unfold across the island. Dead cats wash up on the beach, tensions rise between Bev Keane and Joe Collie, Riley Flynn wrestles with guilt and faith, and Father Paul's influence over the community grows stronger. We discuss the episode's themes of religion, addiction, grief, and manipulation, culminating in one of the series' most unforgettable moments: Leeza Scarborough's miraculous recovery during Mass. We also kick off the next entry in Stormy's horror movie catch-up journey by spinning the wheel and selecting Longlegs, starring Nicolas Cage and Maika Monroe. Is it as terrifying as everyone says? We'll find out soon. Whether you're revisiting Midnight Mass or discovering it for the first time, join us for theories, analysis, laughs, and plenty of discussion about one of the best horror series of the last decade.

This week we're digging up Lisa Frankenstein--the neon-soaked, darkly funny love story you didn't know you needed. Set in the 1980s, the film follows misunderstood teen Lisa as she forms an unexpected connection with a reanimated Victorian-era corpse (yes, really). What starts as a strange friendship quickly spirals into something far more chaotic--and murderous. Equal parts coming-of-age, horror, and offbeat romance, this one is as weird as it is wildly entertaining. We break down the film's tone, performances, and why Diablo Cody and Zelda Williams make such a perfect pairing for this genre-bending story.

We're back with another episode in our Mike Flanagan Rewind series, and this week we're diving deep into Midnight Mass—the haunting, slow-burn horror story that blends faith, grief, and something far more sinister. After serving four years in prison for a drunk driving accident that killed a young woman, Riley Flynn returns to Crockett Island—a struggling, isolated fishing community still reeling from an environmental disaster. Now disconnected from his faith, Riley finds himself at odds with the deeply religious townspeople, including his parents, his younger brother, and his former love, Erin Greene. Things begin to shift with the arrival of the mysterious and charismatic Father Paul Hill, a young priest filling in for the aging Monsignor Pruitt. As miracles seem to occur and devotion intensifies, unsettling events unfold across the island—strange sightings in the night, a growing sense of unease, and a horrifying discovery that signals something is deeply wrong beneath the surface. In this episode, we break down the premiere, explore the show's themes of religion, redemption, and fanaticism, and discuss why Mike Flanagan remains one of the most compelling voices in modern horror storytelling. Plus: a very serious debate—pancakes vs. waffles—and a moment of appreciation for the kitties of Crockett Island, who absolutely deserved better.

We're finally back! This week, we're diving into a very belated review of the wildly divisive 2025 horror film Until Dawn. Based on the hit 2015 PlayStation game, Until Dawn expands the original story into a new standalone nightmare. A group of friends find themselves trapped in a remote location with a brutal twist: every time they die, the night resets—with a new threat waiting for them. The only way out? Survive until morning. We break down what works, what really doesn't, and whether this adaptation lives up to the game's legacy. Plus, we talk Oscars…because we recorded this before the ceremony—so Sam gets to exist in blissful ignorance, fully convinced Sinners is about to sweep every category.

It's time we bid farewell to the Haunting of Bly Manor in our journey through the Mike Flanagan library.  As Viola drags Dani by the throat, Flora intervenes—reminding the Lady in the Lake of her long-lost daughter, Isabel. Viola takes Flora to the lake to drown her, but Dani sacrifices herself, inviting Viola's spirit to inhabit her body and freeing the trapped souls of Bly Manor. In the aftermath, Henry returns to raise the children, while Owen and Jamie discover Hannah's body in the well. Dani and Jamie leave for America to build a life together, but nine years later Viola's presence begins to surface. During a reunion in France, Owen reveals that Flora and Miles remember nothing of Bly Manor—only the happy parts of childhood. When Dani wakes with her hand around Jamie's throat, she realizes Viola's hold is growing stronger. To protect the woman she loves, Dani returns to Bly Manor and takes her place in the lake forever. The storyteller—revealed to be an older Jamie—finishes the tale at Flora's wedding reception, surrounded by the people who survived. Later that night, Jamie leaves the door open, still hoping Dani might return… and as she sleeps, a familiar hand rests gently on her shoulder.

This week on Real Horrorshow, we're heading back to high school theatre with a review of The Gallows (2015), a found-footage supernatural horror film from Blumhouse. Set twenty years after a fatal onstage accident during a small-town school play, the film follows a group of students who attempt to resurrect the cursed production in a misguided act of remembrance—with terrifying consequences. Written and directed by Chris Lofing and Travis Cluff and starring Reese Mishler, Pfeifer Brown, Ryan Shoos, and Cassidy Gifford, The Gallows taps into the uniquely nerve-wracking world of school auditoriums, stage lights, and unfinished business. Does it earn its scares, or should some shows stay closed forever? Let's break it down.

December was a rough month off-mic, fighting illness and holiday chaos, but we're back now to finally ask: What if the found footage was real…and the scariest thing wasn't the monster, but the filmmaker? This week, we're digging into Butterfly Kisses (2018), Erik Kristopher Myers' razor-sharp found footage deconstruction that asks a deeply uncomfortable question: how far will an artist go to be believed? The film follows Gavin York, a documentarian who stumbles upon a box of tapes left behind by two film students investigating an urban legend known as Peeping Tom. What starts as a forgotten student project quickly spirals into obsession, as Gavin sets out to “prove” the footage is authentic—dragging his own film crew (and his sanity) down with him. Part found footage, part academic critique, Butterfly Kisses plays in the same sandbox as The Blair Witch Project, Paranormal Activity, and The Last Exorcism, then calmly turns to the camera and asks whether we actually want these stories to be true. It's less about jump scares and more about ego, credibility, and the uniquely modern horror of needing proof at any cost. Found footage skeptics welcome. Film nerds encouraged. Peeping Tom is watching either way. We also talk about hockey, Primate, and Strange Harvest. We're girls of simple taste.

This week, we continue our Mike Flanagan Rewind series with Episode 7 of The Haunting of Bly Manor.  In this episode, we uncover the dark truth behind Peter and Rebecca's tragic fate at Bly Manor. Through flashbacks, Peter learns the rules of being a ghost: he can briefly possess the living—and, with an invitation, take over a body permanently. But every spirit trapped on the grounds risks losing their face, their memories, and ultimately their identity. Believing they can be together forever, Peter convinces Rebecca to invite him in. Instead of reuniting, he uses her body to walk into the lake, drowning her and binding her to Bly as a ghost. Heartbroken and furious, Rebecca refuses to join his plan to possess the children—Miles and Flora,but Peter continues manipulating events to get what he wants. In the present day, Peter and Rebecca lure Dani to the attic as their scheme reaches its breaking point. The children appear to surrender their bodies to the ghosts, and when Hannah intervenes, Peter (speaking through Miles) forces her to confront her own death. But Flora reveals the truth: she and Rebecca have been pretending, and Rebecca has not taken her over. As Dani attempts a desperate escape with Flora, they are suddenly confronted by Bly Manor's most fearsome spirit—the Lady in the Lake. We also land on our next movie review for next week: Butterfly Kisses, a fun found footage romp.
