Welcome to the spooky season, horror nerds!

Your favorite Final Girl Duo, Samantha and Bonnie, are diving deep into the psychological thriller Obsession and breaking down how it completely flips the "clingy girl" cliché on its head. Plus, they are delivering your ultimate survival guide for Universal Studios’ Halloween Horror Nights! Samantha goes full drill sergeant with tactical gate strategies, app hacks, and a hilarious date-night story about heckling old theater-hoppers during a demonic make-out scene.

Not only do we dissect the best mazes in California and dodge crowd bottlenecks on the Terrifier Tram, but Bonnie also drops a massive announcement about her professional spooktacular voice-over gigs this season, as well as a spine-tingling sketch that will tell you how to get in the best Shape of your life.

In this special episode -- and our Season 2 finale -- Samantha and Bonnie, alongside Anthony “Tombstone Tony” Landry, connect with legendary Italian composer Fabio Frizzi, best known for his hauntingly iconic scores in horror films, including City of the Living Dead and The Beyond. The conversation transcends language and time zones with shared insights, laughter, and stories from the wondrous world of film music. Not only does Signore Frizzi recount his early experiences within the music world with a one-of-a-kind encounter that would change his life for the better, but also how his journey of composing and touring offered challenges and triumphs that would come to shape his unique sound. This frightfully insightful conversation reminds us about the power of music and how it brings people together, no matter who they are, where they come from, or what time period they live in.

Join us in celebrating the timeless art of film scoring and the incredible stories behind the music that haunt our dreams (and create earworms).

For more insights and anecdotes from Fabio Frizzi, make sure to tune in to the full episode! And for the full-length, ad-free, uncut episode, subscribe to our Patreon!

On this brand-new episode of the Horror Nerds Podcast, hosts Samantha and Bonnie discuss all things on Midsummer Scream 2026 in Long Beach, California before it moves to Anaheim in 2027... and why it's their favorite horror convention! They've got it all: from the challenges of cosplaying in the sweltering summer heat (it's the hottest con in town), to the all-star talent lineup of Samantha's LIVE Horror Nerd comedy show, to how the energy of the crowd can truly enhance performances. Oh, and their love of drag queens and how we owe so much to them (and Elvira). But Midsummer Scream also brings out the nostalgia in our Final Girl hosts, as it was also the convention that became the start of one Final Girl Friendship (name pending).

But it’s not just the convention scene that our Horror Nerds enjoy, for they also discuss this year’s theme for the convention: musicals! Between the campy cult classic Rocky Horror Picture Show, the plant-tastic Little Shop of Horrors, and the musical with the most-ical Beetlejuice the Musical, our hosts not only discuss the unique intertwining of two unlikely genres, but also express their shared admiration as well.

It’s all here on the Horror Nerds Podcast, so don’t miss out! Seriously, please don’t miss out. That's our copywriter telling you to listen, so you really should.

Special thanks to Midsummer Scream and Sue at The Procko Group for allowing us to cover the convention for our podcast. We are eternally yours.

Thank you to Jazzy Byner, Those Klein Boyz, David Weiner, Peaches Christ, Dreadful Damsels at Haunted 365, Ira Heiden, David Bertolino, Alex Cordova/The Magic Oil Box, Matthew Lillard, Adam Bucci/Small Town Weirdo, and all the spooky staff who help put together this incredible event!

Welcome to another episode From the Crypt, where we're resurrecting some of our favorite audio-only episodes and giving them the video treatment for the very first time. (Because let's be honest, we're funny and we're hot, and it's about time.)

In this newly restored episode, chock-full of wits and tits, Bonnie and Samantha welcome comedian and Witty Titties founder Genesis Sol for a conversation about women in horror, comedy, and the rise of the iconic "Good for Her" heroine. From Midsommar, Ready or Not, Jennifer's Body, and You're Next to an in-depth discussion of Carrie, the trio explores why these stories resonate, how horror continues to evolve, and why they're still hoping to see an adaptation that fully captures Stephen King's original vision of Carrie White. With Mike Flanagan's upcoming Carrie series on the horizon, there's never been a better time to revisit this conversation through a fresh lens.
