    Bug (2007) – SSP261
    Apr 29 2026
    This week upon the Scary Spirits Podcast, we tip our collective monocle to the April 19th birthday of the illustrious Ashley Judd by plunging headfirst into the jittery, nerve-scorching depths of William Friedkin’s 2007 psychological horror film, Bug. Your ever-valiant hosts, Karen and Greg, conduct a spirited parlor discussion on paranoia, isolation, and the creeping terror that crawls beneath the skin, all while savoring a devilishly delightful, specially crafted “Magic 8 Ball” themed cocktail—a libation as mysterious and unpredictable as the film itself. Expect sharp analysis, morbid merriment, and a dash of aristocratic unease as we examine Ashley Judd’s unforgettable performance and the nightmarish intensity that has made Bug a cult favorite among horror aficionados. Whether you seek psychological horror insights, classic film discussion, or simply a refined fright paired with a stiff drink, this episode promises an evening both bracing and beguiling. So straighten your cravat, steady your nerves, and join us—for the spirits are restless, the cocktails are flowing, and Bug most certainly has not been exterminated.

  • Dr. Jekyll and Sister Hyde (1971) – SSP260

    Dr. Jekyll and Sister Hyde (1971) – SSP260
    Apr 22 2026
    This week on the Scary Spirits Podcast, we draw back the velvet curtain to commemorate the U.S. release anniversary of Hammer Horror’s 1971 classic, Dr. Jekyll and Sister Hyde, released on April 15th. With scholarly precision and a suitably macabre twinkle, hosts Karen and Greg examine the film’s daring reimagining of Robert Louis Stevenson’s tale—where science, repression, and identity intertwine in true Hammer fashion. Expect thoughtful discussion of the film’s performances, atmosphere, gender-bending shock, and its enduring place in the golden age of British horror cinema. Naturally, such an elegant descent into madness demands refreshment. As the clock strikes midnight, our hosts raise a glass to the good doctor with a themed Brandy Old Fashioned cocktail, rich, refined, and just a touch dangerous—much like the film itself. If you are a devotee of Hammer Horror films, classic 1970s horror cinema, or simply relish intelligent conversation steeped in Gothic charm, then join us… because some experiments are far too fascinating to resist. Listen now to Scary Spirits Podcast — where classic horror meets wickedly good spirits. Brandy Old Fashioned • 2 oz brandy• 1/2 oz simple syrup• 3 dashes aromatic bitters• 2 dashes orange bitters• Garnish: orange peel and brandied cherry Instructions: Add brandy, simple syrup, aromatic bitters, and orange bitters to a glass with ice and stir until well chilled.Squeeze the orange peel over the glass and drop it in.Garnish with a brandied cherry. Source: ohlq.com A Brief Synopsis: Blackly comic variation on the classic tale, in which the good doctor, experimenting with ways to prolong life, tests the formula on himself and metamorphoses into a beautiful woman. His alter ego turns out to have a very nasty streak, killing prostitutes who, terrified of Jack the Ripper, believe they have nothing to fear from a woman. Some of the topics discussed and highlights of this episode include: We learn about the original novella by Robert Louis Stevenson that inspired the film.The history of the White Chapel murders is discussed.Dr. Karen tells us all about the use of Lime in mass burials.Karen gives us stats about the murder rate of men.

    Anaconda (1997) – SSP259
    Apr 15 2026
    Wow… this week on the Scary Spirits Podcast, we’re sliding back into the jungle for a seriously wild celebration of the 1997 cult creature feature Anaconda—yeah, that Anaconda—which slithered into theaters on April 11, 1997, starring Jennifer Lopez and a whole lot of oversized snake energy. It’s one of those late‑’90s horror-adventure movies that just makes you lean back and go, “Wow… they really don’t make ’em like this anymore.” Join Karen and Greg as they kick back, talk man‑eating serpents, jungle paranoia, and all the gloriously over-the-top moments that helped make Anaconda a staple of ’90s horror films. And because it’s Scary Spirits, they’re pairing the episode with a dangerously fun, themed “Blue Anaconda” cocktail that’s as bold and unforgettable as the movie itself. So grab a drink, hit play, and wrap yourself around this laid‑back, laugh-filled deep dive into one of the most memorable creature horror movies of the decade. Wow… trust us—you’re gonna want to listen.
