It's time to discuss the most divisive horror movie of all time! Halloween Ends offered something completely different from the previous installments of David Gordon Green's trilogy, but did it pay off? We break down the movie scene-by-scene to figure out exactly why this movie didn't work in the context of being a conclusion to a trilogy. Why was Michael completely sidelined like he was a backup Ninja Turtle? Who is Corey Cunningham and why should we care?

We give our thoughts on all the Scream 5 news, what direction we would like to see the movie take, and finally answer your questions and comments on Scream 5. Thanks for sticking with me up to this point! I have some killer episodes lined up and can't wait to share with them with you all!

We're wrapping up the month with our first cryptid flick! In this episode we talk all things Mothman, Bigfoot, and toss out some theories on what the residents of Point Pleasant were seeing in the skies in the late 60's. Before all that, we of course catch up with the latest horror news and share some movie recommendations before breaking this movie down!

Continuing on with "movies the other hasn't seen" month, we kick off my picks today for Jason with this drug-fueled, sci-fi, monster of a movie! We break down "John Dies at the End" in all its bloody and often times confusing glory. First, we recount some recent movie viewings and break down the latest news in the horror world! So, inject some soy sauce and blast off with us for another episode!

Today we are discussing the first ever found footage movie on the podcast! And if you like your found footage with creepy clowns on the side, this one is right up your alley. Hell House LLC is streaming literally everywhere, so go watch it if you haven't done so and get back to us! As always, we catch up on some recent movie viewings and discuss the latest happenings in the world of horror news!

It's a new month so it's time for another new theme! This month we're picking movies that the other has never seen. Up first is the classic Jersey slasher flick: The Prowler! Before jamming our pitchforks into this one, we cover all the latest horror news and give our thoughts on Scream 5 and Terrifier 2. And as always, we discuss everything we've been watching over the last week!

Today we are celebrating 50 EPISODES of the Spook House! We're wrapping up Stephen King month with this somewhat overlooked gem from 2004 about a writer going crazy (shocker). Before jumping into the movie, we cover a bit of news, including the Johnny Depp/ Amber Heard debacle, and recount some recent movie viewings along the way. Thanks for for sticking with us for 50 episodes!

How can you go wrong with Stephen King and George Romero?! Aside from Stephen King's acting ability, you can't! (Sorry Steve). Today, we are discussing the almighty Creepshow- a slice of 80's greatness which marks our first anthology movie here on the Spook House. Before diving into this classic, we cover the latest horror news and recount some recent movie viewings!

Carrying on with Stephen King month, we're headed to Gatlin (not Nilbog) Nebraska to hang out with those creepy Children of the Corn kids. We try our hardest to not make too many ginger jokes or Terminator 2 references and fail miserably. Before doing so, we discuss the bummer of a news story- the "Halloween Kills" release being pushed back to 2021. So, listen along as we discuss this "classic" horror movie in all its clunky glory!

We are celebrating a true horror icon this month, Sir Stephen King (we knighted him ourselves)! We kick it off with perhaps one of the more disturbing movies we've ever covered, "Gerald's Game". More of a psychological character study than a typical horror, we break down the movie in all its uncomfortable glory. We're excited to be back and to get the ol' Spook House ball rolling!

Today we're traveling back to Southport, NC to the summer of '97, it's our IKWYDLS watchalong! If you have Shudder- feel free to watch with us, or you can just listen along (we've all seen this movie 50 goddamn times). We talk about sorts of topics on this one. Tank-tops, Blossom hats, our hatred of Kevin Willamson dialogue, you name it!

"How 'bout a bumper sandwich, booger lips!?" We are back, and we're bringing on our friend Jake from Slashers Podcast! This is our anniversary commemoration episode, and we couldn't think of a better way to celebrate than by covering this American classic with our brother from another Troll-fighting mother, Jake. Before we jump into Ernest and troll talk, we cover the latest horror news among a ton of other stuff. Thanks for sticking with us for the last year- here's to many more!  Head over to @slasherpod on Instagram and listen to them wherever you listen to podcasts!

On another special edition quarantine episode, we cover one of our personal favorites of the Friday the 13th series, Jason Lives! Maybe it's the self-aware and comedic tone, the gnarly kills, or all the Alice Cooper songs, but we love this movie, even if it has some faults. We break down the movie in all it's hair metal glory and take a few detours along the way with some hairy turns. So, journey with us back to Crystal Lake I MEAN FOREST GREEN as we catch up with that ol' maggot head Jason!

On this special episode, Jason and I sit on my back porch with the birds chirping and recount our recent movie viewings. We also catch up on the latest horror news, and of course, we discuss quarantine life and all sorts of other bullshit! This was a fun one to record so we hope you enjoy it!

The Spookhouse Podcast is out on hiatus, but we're releasing our personal favorite watchalong to date, Final Destination! Pull up Netflix, press play at the same time we do, and travel back with us to the year 2000. We discuss one-striped sweaters, taking a shit with your best friend, and our high school memories. And of course, we discuss this classic-ish horror movie! We'll return sooner than you think, but until then, watch this classic with us!

On this week's episode of the podcast, we sink our teeth into 30 Days of Night, which pleasantly surprised us! Listen to us talk about how Josh Hartnett's acting and hair improved since H20, if we could survive an Alaskan winter, and what was the bathroom situation like on this. Plus, we talked about some other things we watched this week and get you updated on all the horror movie news. Give it a listen!

While everyone is quarantined with nothing to do, the Spook House is here to watch shitty movies with you. Just pull up Final Destination 2 on Netflix and press play at the same time we do! We hope to bring you some more watchalongs during the quarantine, so shoot us some suggestions if you enjoy these. So, show off that mid riff, grab your Limp Bizkit cd, and spike those bleach blonde tips, cuz we're going back to the early 2000's!

"Sleep all day. Party all night. It's fun to be a vampire." Damn, we're excited for this one! A personal favorite for both of us, we are finally covering this 1987 classic. We break down the movie top-to-bottom, discuss the bangin' soundtrack along the way, and delve into all sorts of fun facts throughout the episode. But first, as always, we recount some recent movie viewings and discuss the latest horror news. So, get ready to blow that sax and party with us as we sink our teeth into this classic!

Vampire month keeps on rolling with the Tarantino/Rodriguez movie, From Dusk Till Dawn. Listen to us talk about Tarantino's weird foot fetish, Poor choices in tribal tattoos, and why people who back in to parking spots can be oh so frustrating. As always, we talk about what else we watched this week and the newest horror movie news. Give it a listen!

We are kicking off Vampire month here at the Spook House, and what better way than to start with this 1985 Tom Holland classic!

We have some killer vampire flicks lined up for the month so be cool like Brewster and stay tuned for those!

On the final episode of of WTF?! month we round it out with the 2000's classic, Freddy Vs. Jason. The movie that took over a decade to get made and has aged like a glass of fine milk. We dissect everything from 2000s Nu Metal, awful CGI, Kelly Rowland saying very mean things and why it holds a special place in our hearts. Before we get to that, we talk about some other things we watched, and some horror movie news as usual. Place your bets, Bitch!

"What the fuck?!" month has turned into a test of our will and determination, and today, we are being put to the ultimate test by covering the monstrous turd known as "Freddy's Dead". The movie that turned Freddy into a literal cartoon, we dissect everything wrong with this awful movie and break it down in all its glory. Before doing that, we cover the latest horror news, and we fill you in on some actual good movies that we've seen lately as well!

In this "final" Friday, we are covering the hot mess of a movie known as "Jason Goes to Hell". With a 23 year old director behind the camera, JGTH is a bizarre movie in more ways than one. We break down exactly what went wrong, why there is a bounty hunter dressed as a cowboy, why Jason is a slug demon that jumps from body-to-body, and why this movie resembles nothing of a "Friday the 13th" movie. As always, we discuss some recent movie viewings and cover some horror news!

We are kicking off "What the fuck?!" month here at the Spook House, and what better way to start than with this? A movie so bad Matthew McConaughey and Renee Zelwegger's publicists' tried to ban it from being re-released, we sit down and watch this dumpster fire of a movie and break it down in all its glory. But first, we cover the recent Halloween Kills screening reactions from those that attended it, and lots more!

We are wrapping up sequel month with a bang (or a stab, perhaps?)!. We are covering Scream 2, the sequel that came out less than a year after it's predecessor. How does it hold up after all these years? Listen to find out! Before we jump into it, we cover the news about Blumhouse making a "Thing" movie, and we also discuss the latest "Halloween Kills" news as well. So, get ready for some carnage candy and listen along!

Well, this is our life now, we're covering Troll 2. Known as "the worst movie ever made", it's hard to argue with that statement after giving this a rewatch. Before we break down this piece of shit, we recount some recent movie viewings and finish out Bloody Disgusting's top 25 horror movies of the past decade! This is...an interesting episode, so give it a download and visit Nilbog with us! *Que 80's dance montage.   patreon.com/thespookhousepodcast  ---    thespookhousepodcast.bigcartel.com

Get lost, Microchip! Today we are covering the 1990 sequel Child's Play 2! Arguably the best in the series, we discuss all things related to that mean little bastard known as Chucky, and I make numerous unwarranted connections between this movie and Halloween 4. Before doing so, we cover the first-half of Bloody Disgusting's top 25 horror movies list of the last 10 years, and we catch up on a couple of recent movie viewings! Check out our recently launched Patreon to gain access to all kinds of cool shit, including our recent watchalong to the original Child's Play!

Hot damn, it's good to be back! Season 2 has officially begun, and we thought for our first month back that "part 2 month" would be a good place to start. And what better way than to kick it off with Sam Raimi's 1987 classic Evil Dead 2! Before we dive into this bloody, chaotic, hilarious good time of a movie, we recount our latest movie viewings and catch up on a bit of horror news. We are stoked for the launch of season 2 and have a lot of fun shit planned for 2020! Follow us on instagram: @thespookhousepodcast Get some killer merch! thespookhousepodcast.bigcartel.com
