What's scarier than a haunted videotape? Having to REWIND a haunted videotape! gasp😱😨 This week we're starting our RING series, covering both the 1998 Japanese film and the novel written by Koji Suzuki. What became one of Japan's biggest horror franchises, and sparked a trend of American remakes, this film has a legacy that spans decades. Is there an irony in replicating the same piece of media when the book/movie explicitly says not to? Probably!

Join us in two weeks for PART TWO of our Ring series where we cover The Ring (2002), and if you want us to look into any of the weird sequels, let us know!

Tessa's magnum opus... Clown in a Cornfield 🤡🩸🔪 In this episode, we take a look at the new film based on Adam Cesare's YA novel! As a film, its a fun teen slasher that'll be perfect for summer! As an adaptation of one of Tessa's fav horror novels... it leaves much to be desired.

Whaaat?! A slasher movie set in the 80's?? That's crazy and never been done before! In this episode, we compare the latest addition to the Fear Street franchise with the book its loosely adapted from, written by R.L. Stine. And I mean veryyy loosely adapted.

We're SWIMMING into our summer blockbuster series starting with JAWS! 🦈 In this episode, we compare the novel written by Peter Benchley with it's film adaption directed by the one-and-only Steven Spielberg. Can you believe that man was 27 YEARS OLD when he directed it??? Crazyyyy. And he didn't even need to use CGI to do it!

*We had issues with Sam's camera this episode, which is why we only have two angles.

We're diving back into the Clive Barker universe with The Hellbound Heart and Hellraiser! In this episode, we compare the iconic short story (which is also the introduction of Pinhead) with the classic film adaption. Now the ultimate question is this... who would win in a fight? Pinhead or Candyman?👀

Why are we covering Twilight, which isn't even horror media? Because its horror ADJACENT OKAY?? Get off my back jeesh! 😤 Anyway, in this episode we take a look at the book written by Stephanie Meyer, it's film adaptation, and even Midnight Sun! You know... the book that's essentially Twilight but written entirely from Edward's perspective? Yeah, it's really a thing. Meyer is pulling a JK Rowling by milking her IP for all it's worth huh?

Why are we covering Rosemary's Baby during Woman's History Month? That's a good question uh... but at least we're acknowledging it (unlike Google Calendar). In this episode we dive into the complicated history of this iconic film, but mainly just glaze up Ira Levin. 'Cause his storytelling rules ya know?!? We also discuss the sequel book Son of Rosemary which kinda contradicts the previous statement now that I think about it. Ira, why you gotta do us so dirty???Anyway, we promise to cover books written by women SOON! 👀

This is just part one of our series on Rosemary's Baby. In the next episode we'll be looking at the 2014 limited series starring Zoe Saldana. She was in something else recently too wasn't she? 🤔
