    Ink That Deal (DESCENDENT [2025])
    Sep 9 2025
    The Rustic Signal has been lit once more! After performing in front of the camera for RESOLUTION and THE ENDLESS, Peter Cilella now steps behind the camera for his feature film directorial debut DESCENDENT (2025)! We've been looking forward to more directorial work from Peter since we saw his short film OCCUPANT a few years back, so we were very excited to check this movie out. It was a blast to discuss, and we hope everyone enjoys our conversation. As usual, we get into spoilers pretty quickly in this review, so we absolutely encourage everyone to check out the movie first. It's currently available for purchase or rental on all major VOD platforms, and it absolutely deserves your support. Speaking of support, our Kickstarter for the superhero anthology WHERE LEGENDS WALK will have a few days remaining in its campaign when the episode goes up. If you miss the Kickstarter window, the book should be available for purchase soon, with a mid-November release date planned. You can find more details on the book/Kickstarter by visiting wherelegendswalk.com If you'd like to follow us on social media, you can visit our Linktree page (linked below) but we've also listed some of our social media handles: Linktree: linktr.ee/scarystuff Official site: scarystuffpodcast.com Twitter: @scarystuffpod Instagram: @scarystuffpodcast Letterboxd: @scarystuffpod Incredibly Niche Merch: teepublic.com/user/scary-stuff-podcast You can find a list of all the previous movies we've reviewed and their corresponding episodes (via the "Read Notes" option) here: www.letterboxd.com/scarystuffpod/list/all-reviews-scary-stuff-podcast/ And as always, thanks so much for listening!

  • Do Not Profane the Patience of Sean (THE LIVING DEAD AT MANCHESTER MORGUE [1974])

    Do Not Profane the Patience of Sean (THE LIVING DEAD AT MANCHESTER MORGUE [1974])
    Jul 27 2025
    As we enter the fifth year of our podcast, we are so, so grateful to all of our listeners for their time and support. This particular episode is dedicated to Sean, a listener whose support has helped us through some very rough times over the years. Since our pod started off with a review of the Return of the Living Dead franchise, we thought it would be appropriate to celebrate our fifth year by reviewing another zombie movie. We reached out to Sean and asked him to help us decide which movie to review, and we landed on... well, a movie with many, many titles, (Don't Open the Window, Let Sleeping Corpses Lie, No Profanar el Sueño de los Muertos, 悪魔の墓場 and much more) but possibly best known in the U.S. as THE LIVING DEAD AT MANCHESTER MORGUE (1974)! This movie from director Jorge Grau is streaming on Shudder as of this episode's release, and we absolutely encourage everyone to give it a watch ahead of listening to our review. And speaking of zombie-centric media, our host Jacob's debut novel THE CHANGE is on sale now from Oddity Prodigy Productions! This tale of hope, zombies, and rock & roll can be ordered wherever you get your books, but here's the link for it on Bookshop: https://bookshop.org/p/books/the-change/d2beab56340d82cb?ean=9781733393850 If you'd like to follow us on social media, you can visit our Linktree page (linked below) but we've also listed some of our social media handles: Linktree: linktr.ee/scarystuff Official site: scarystuffpodcast.com Twitter: @scarystuffpod Instagram: @scarystuffpodcast Letterboxd: @scarystuffpod Incredibly Niche Merch: teepublic.com/user/scary-stuff-podcast You can find a list of all the previous movies we've reviewed and their corresponding episodes (via the "Read Notes" option) here: http://www.letterboxd.com/scarystuffpod/list/all-reviews-scary-stuff-podcast/ And as always, thanks so much for listening!

    Animal in a Box (GRAVE ENCOUNTERS [2011])
    May 7 2025
    Our Christmas episode is still coming (albeit way, way after December), but we're taking a quick detour to the Collingwood Psychiatric Hospital. It's Episode 76, so it's the perfect time to have our resident 76ers fan Jacob choose a movie to review. And being our resident found-footage fan as well, for our latest episode Jacob has chosen GRAVE ENCOUNTERS (2011), written and directed by The Vicious Brothers. We also discuss the Kickstarter that Jacob just launched for his debut horror-fantasy novel THE CHANGE! You can check out the link below for more details, and any support is greatly appreciated: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/oddityprodigy/the-change-a-novel If you'd like to follow us on social media, you can visit our Linktree page (linked below) but we've also listed some of our social media handles: Linktree: linktr.ee/scarystuff Official site: scarystuffpodcast.com Twitter: @scarystuffpod Instagram: @scarystuffpodcast Letterboxd: @scarystuffpod Incredibly Niche Merch: teepublic.com/user/scary-stuff-podcast You can find a list of all the previous movies we've reviewed and their corresponding episodes (via the "Read Notes" option) here: http://www.letterboxd.com/scarystuffpod/list/all-reviews-scary-stuff-podcast/ And as always, thanks so much for listening!

  • Gotta Love Hope (THINGS WILL BE DIFFERENT [2024] feat. Michael Felker)

    Gotta Love Hope (THINGS WILL BE DIFFERENT [2024] feat. Michael Felker)
    Feb 15 2025
    The Rustic Signal has been lit! Although this episode is being released later than we'd hoped (although if we're reviewing a time travel movie, maybe our delays don't count this time around?), we're very excited for everyone to check out our discussion of the latest release from Rustic Films: THINGS WILL BE DIFFERENT (2024). And even better, we're so delighted to be joined by the movie's writer/director Michael Felker for a special interview! We had a truly fabulous time chatting with Michael about the movie, his work on previous Rustic Films features, and much more (and probably more JCVD than any of us anticipated). We can't thank him enough for his time, and we really hope everyone enjoys the episode! If you haven't seen the movie yet, as of this episode's release it's currently streaming on all major VOD platforms, with more details available here: www.magnetreleasing.com/thingswillbedifferent/watch-at-home/ For more information on Michael Felker and Last Life Films, you can visit: www.lastlifefilms.com/ As mentioned in the episode, if you have some funds to spare, we'd greatly appreciate it if you could consider donating to the GoFundMe to help Ben Mekler and his family out after their home was lost in the Eaton Fire: www.gofundme.com/f/ben-and-kirby-lost-everything-in-the-eaton-fire/ If you'd like to follow us on social media, you can visit our Linktree page (linked below) but we've also listed some of our social media handles: Linktree: linktr.ee/scarystuff Official site: scarystuffpodcast.com Twitter: @scarystuffpod Instagram: @scarystuffpodcast Letterboxd: @scarystuffpod Incredibly Niche Merch: teepublic.com/user/scary-stuff-podcast You can find a list of all the previous movies we've reviewed and their corresponding episodes (via the "Read Notes" option) here: www.letterboxd.com/scarystuffpod/list/all-reviews-scary-stuff-podcast/ And as always, thanks so much for listening!

  • Give Me the Stones (WARLOCK: THE ARMAGEDDON [1993] feat. Duane Swierczynski)

    Give Me the Stones (WARLOCK: THE ARMAGEDDON [1993] feat. Duane Swierczynski)
    Nov 28 2024
    This one is something special. That statement doesn't just apply to the movie WARLOCK: THE ARMAGEDDON (1993) from director Anthony Hickox, which is the subject of this new episode. As much as the movie itself made for an entertaining discussion, what makes it special is that we're joined on this episode by returning guest Duane Swierczynski! We had a wonderful time chatting with Duane in our LORD OF ILLUSIONS episode a couple years back, and we're so thrilled to have him back on the pod to talk about the next installment in the WARLOCK series, as well as the Holiday Book Drive currently underway for 2024 via The Evelyn Swierczynski Foundation (benefitting The Children's Hospital of Los Angeles). You can learn more about The Evelyn Swierczynski Foundation and donate to them directly at: https://www.teameviefoundation.com/ We also absolutely encourage everyone to check out Duane's work (including CALIFORNIA BEAR and the recently reprinted SECRET DEAD MEN), and you can visit his official site for more details: https://www.gleefulmayhem.com/ The Commando-inspired "Infinity Tree" design from the fabulous Erica Henderson mentioned in today's episode can be found on her Threadless page: https://ericafails.threadless.com/ If you'd like to follow us on social media, you can visit our Linktree page (linked below) but we've also listed some of our social media handles: Linktree: linktr.ee/scarystuff Official site: scarystuffpodcast.com Twitter: @scarystuffpod Instagram: @scarystuffpodcast Letterboxd: @scarystuffpod Incredibly Niche Merch: teepublic.com/user/scary-stuff-podcast You can find a list of all the previous movies we've reviewed and their corresponding episodes (via the "Read Notes" option) here: https://letterboxd.com/scarystuffpod/list/all-reviews-scary-stuff-podcast/ And as always, thanks so much for listening!

  • Something Beyond Comprehension (THE EXORCIST [1973])

    Something Beyond Comprehension (THE EXORCIST [1973])
    Oct 28 2024
    It's our 2024 Halloween special! The trailer for the subject of our new episode refers to "Something beyond comprehension," which also applies to our pod as one of our hosts has never seen this horror classic before. For our Halloween celebration this year, our host Jacob has chosen THE EXORCIST (1973) from director William Friedkin and writer William Peter Blatty! It's a bit daunting tackling a movie that casts a shadow as long as this one, but we had a great time discussing the movie from both the perspective of a first-time viewer and two hosts whose perspectives on the movie may have evolved a bit since they first saw it decades ago. We really hope everyone enjoys this review, but most of all we hope everyone has a very happy Halloween this year.
