This week on the show, we’re heading to the mines to talk about the slasher classic My Bloody Valentine. Pickaxes, heart-shaped candy boxes, and one of the grimiest small town settings in horror, this one has it all. We break down the kills, the atmosphere, and why Harry Warden still stands out among ’80s slashers.

Joining us is special guest Aaron from the A&B Horror Movies Podcast, a fantastic horror content creator, who brings great insight (and a few hot takes) as we dig into what makes this movie so memorable. As always, we also decide whether the opening kill earns the coveted Butcher Knife or the dreaded Butter Knife.

Grab your helmet, watch out in the tunnels, and press play!

In this episode, we’re heading back to 1987 to cover Totally Killer. When a modern-day teen accidentally time-travels to the year her mom’s friends were being hunted by a masked slasher, she teams up with the younger version of her mother to stop the killer before history repeats itself. We talk about the mix of comedy and horror, the nostalgia for the late ’80s, the kills, and whether the movie balances its tone or leans too hard into the jokes. Strap in for time-travel, neon, and a masked maniac as we decide if Totally Killer lives up to its killer premise.

This week, we’re dialing back to Woodsboro to break down the slasher that rewrote the rules: the original Scream. From that legendary opening phone call to Ghostface’s razor-sharp meta kills, we dig into why this movie still sets the standard for modern horror.

We’re joined by author Stephanie Rose (Hiding Lies and the upcoming novella Small Town Slasher), who brings killer insight into suspense, small-town terror, and what makes a slasher really work.

Fast, funny, and full of blood-splattered nostalgia—this episode proves one thing: in Scream, everyone’s a suspect. 📞🔪
