It's that time of year again, so gather 'round all ye ghosts, ghouls and goblins 'cause we're about to ask the immortal question: what's good about a good scare? We're joined by Michael Bergman, who gets paid to scare people for a living (sign me up for that job) and Stephanie Coggins returning from Cinema Craptaculus podcast, both ready to stir the cauldron of spirits and spooks. We'll explore what makes a good jolt, what a scare actor audition is like, and which movies are the best movies for this season of the witch.

The girls felt like Wayward youths themselves as they went down a very windy path to recap this limited series show in Netflix. They talk about Amanda's house ghost interfering with the viewing, Maggie's love of the Paris Hilton autobiography, and their shared appreciation of the MTV hit series: Undressed. One of them really liked this show and the other one could barely get through it (she didn't!) We guess this prooves sisters-in-law may get along but they don't always agree on shows...that's what keeps it interesting!

Starting out after college, with a borrowed video tape deck and camera, the soon to be legendary trio created the Kentucky Fried Theater, on the UW Madison campus, and moved to California in 1972, quickly becoming the most successful small theater group. in Los Angeles history. After parlaying this success into The Kentucky Fried Movie, the three conceived the idea that would create a whole new film genre. Airplane! (1980) broke all conventions, featuring dramatic actors like Robert Stack and Leslie Nielsen performing zany jokes with straight-laced sincerity. The spoof became the surprise hit of 1980, beginning a streak of hilarious movies including Top Secret! (1984) and Ruthless People (1986), after which David branched out on his own to direct The Naked Guns (1988, 1991, 1994), BASEketball (1998), Scary Movies 3 (2003), and 4 (2006), and others. David also found time to produce the successful, but somewhat less hilarious A Walk in The Clouds (1995) and Phone Booth (2002), and recently completed a feature script, The Star of Malta, a comedy set in the Film Noir era, and an international spy thriller, "Counter Intellijence!".

Two geeks, a 12-foot skeleton, and a pile of scary movies walk into a livestream… what could go wrong?
In this episode, Jim and Derek are joined by Mark and Spooky Dave to try and figure out how Freddy Krueger would kill us each individually. Then, why can't we kill slashers? It'd make our lives so much easier. And to round out our spooky episode, what scary media do we like best? Panelists: Jim, Derek, Mark, Spooky Dave
Fog rolls in, the horizon narrows, and a silent ship drifts across the bow. We dive into the world of ghost ships, separating verifiable derelicts from enduring legends to understand why the ocean is such fertile ground for fear, folklore, and forensic dead ends. Together we revisit the Mary Celeste with its missing lifeboat and intact cargo, the SS Baychimo wandering the Arctic for decades, and the MV Joyita broadcasting distress into a void. We weigh competing theories—mutiny, piracy, mechanical failure, fraud—and ask what the gaps in each case reveal about judgment, luck, and the split-second choices sailors face.On the mythic side, we trace the Flying Dutchman as a moral compass disguised as a curse, and set it against global personifications of the sea: Mother Carey and Davy Jones from European lore, Ran and Njord in Norse tales, Thalassa and Amphitrite in Greek tradition, and Yemaya in Yoruba belief. These stories weren't just set dressing; they were early safety systems that encoded weather sense, risk discipline, and social rules into memorable warnings. We also explore liminal accounts like the Valencia's skeletal lifeboats and the New Haven phantom ship, where collective vision meets communal grief.Modern waters still breed mysteries. North Korean “ghost boats” wash onto Japanese shores, a stark outcome of scarcity, distance, and failing navigation. Post-tsunami drifters like the Ryou-Un Maru become hazards, and rumors of secret tests keep submarine folklore alive. Pop culture picks up the signal—Carpenter's The Fog, maritime X-Files, and time-twisting thrillers—because a ship is the perfect stage for isolation, authority, and the unknown pressing in on all sides. If the sea is a mirror, ghost ships are our reflections, revealing how we manage uncertainty, honor those lost, and teach the next watch to respect the deep.Enjoy the journey? Tap follow, share with a curious friend, and drop a review on Apple Podcasts to help more listeners find our voyage. Which ghost ship story do you believe—and why?

Short and sweet episode this week as Derek is on a much-deserved vacation. Jeff and Amir give a quick review of The Long Walk, the latest Stephen King adaptation.

Plus, an in-depth discussion of a long history of Stephen King movies.

Apparently, we can be a little bit mean to each other. So, we got a request to try complimenting each other for once. It's actually a pretty nice break from the norm. Dylan doesn't want any spoilers at all regarding the Ed Gaines serial killer story since he's binging the latest Netflix show about it. It leads to a discussion about scary movies and if they stand the test of time? The audience helps us compile a list of the best ones of all time. Do kids these days still watch the movie ET? We argue about whether or not ET was cute or ugly.
Horror doesn't hand down commandments from a mountaintop; it scavenges from headlines, folklore, and fear, then welds those scraps into images we can't shake. We open the vault on a Halloween favorite to map where the genre's “rules” actually come from—Lover's Lane, masks without faces, babysitters on the edge, clowns that cross lines, and formless things that fall from the sky. The trail starts with the Texarkana Moonlight Murders and the media-born “Phantom Killer,” threads through the brutal, under-told case of Janet Christman and the babysitter myth it spawned, and crystallizes in Halloween's The Shape: a mask that erases humanity so audiences can bear the unbearable. From there, we unpack how Ed Gein's grotesque artifacts overwhelmed facts to seed Psycho, Texas Chainsaw, and Silence of the Lambs, proving horror borrows objects and builds archetypes. And that's just scratching the surface.
This week on the 3 Geeks Podcast, we're diving into the movies that truly terrified us! From classic horror to unexpected scares, we count down our Top 5 films that left us shaken. We also review Alien Earth Season 1, breaking down what worked, what didn't, and whether it's worth your time. Plus, we catch up on what we've been watching lately—covering new releases, hidden gems, and guilty pleasures. And of course, we're sharing stories from our recent convention experiences, giving you all the behind-the-scenes fun from panels, meet-ups, and the wild world of con culture. Tune in for laughs, hot takes, and geeky goodness!
What if vampire movies weren't just capes and candlelight, but living ecosystems of ideas—about infection, class, desire, grief, and the high that won't let go? We pulled on that thread and followed it everywhere, from neon-soaked action to art-house melancholy, from airplane sieges to centuries-long love stories. Along the way we map how Blade built a sleek underworld of boardrooms and blood banks, why Underworld kept the biotech arms race humming, and how Daybreakers and Stakeland treat vampirism like a supply-chain crisis with fangs.We also sit with the softer, stranger places these stories go. Only Lovers Left Alive and All the Moons turn immortality into a quiet ache, where time outlives intimacy. Byzantium and A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night flip the bite's power dynamics, reclaiming agency and reframing the erotic charge. On the addiction axis, Thirst and Bliss merge craving with creation and self-destruction, turning every feed into a relapse and a confession. Global variations—Chinese hopping vampires, Filipino lore, Russian vourdalak—prove “vampire” is a vessel, not a rulebook, shaped by local fears and rituals.Then the deep cuts: The Wisdom of Crocodiles (aka Immortality) turns love into chemistry and murder into philosophy; Humanist Vampire Seeking Suicidal Person finds empathy as the trigger for hunger; and Romero's Martin leaves the most haunting question unresolved—monster, myth, or a boy who believes the story too well. If you're ready for a watchlist that bites outside the lines, this one's packed with surprises, arguments, and a few guilty pleasures.Loved the ride? Share the episode, hit follow, and drop your most underrated vampire film in a review—we'll add it to the coffin of future picks.Start with this Description

Spooky season is here and Steve and Sean are kicking it off with a loaded Mostly Horror Rewind. The guys start with some fresh horror news including a new cinematic R L Stine project, a revamp of Young Frankenstein, and Michael Shanks' bizarrely titled Hotel Hotel Hotel Hotel.Then it is back to one of their all time favorite conversations with writer, director, and producer Bryan Bertino. Bertino gave us The Monster and The Dark and the Wicked, but he is best known for writing and directing The Strangers, a film that remains foundational for Steve and Sean and still towers over the recent reboot trilogy. With The Strangers Chapter 2 now out in the world, it is the perfect time to revisit why the original is a horror masterpiece.To wrap things up, Steve shares his commitment to watch 31 spooky movies in 31 days this October and runs through some of the titles on his list.If you are ready for horror news, deep dives, and a full on spooky season hang then...COME HANG OUT!!!
