Criterion is getting ready to terrify a whole new generation
So much fun!
It's great to be back!!
I have seen this dummy up close and in person AND I DID NOT LIKE IT NOPE NO THANK YOU
We're back! This week @mbmcandrews.bsky.social and @gaylydreadful.bsky.social chat with @almakatsu.bsky.social about her latest novel Fiend (out tomorrow!) and find out why "The Dummy" episode of The Twilight Zone terrified her growing up!

Episode is going to be late by a day or two but it's coming!!
Oh hey! This thing on? Uh, hi!
We're not dead. We have five recorded episodes already up our sleeves and it's time to reopen all those wounds, starting with Neil Marshall (!!!!!!) and Janine Pipe.
Monday!
Until then enjoy our sexy song by Sean Keller and video by Eric Power, both former guests!
Also I just love sharing this music video created by Eric Power, music by Sean Keller, just for our little show. I think it goes together beautifully.
I got to talk to Neil Marshall. I got to ask him about the UK/US endings of The Descent. We got to spend a little of time on his Scarred for Life pick. I'm mad I forgot to talk to him about how much I love doomsday. But dang. I pinch myself moments like this.

Hey our mental health hiatus is almost over. And we've got some doozies hitting in September. Bucket list guests for sure.
Got to chat with one of my favorite horror authors writing today and we're scheduled to chat with the director of one of my favorite movies.
@scarredpodcast.bsky.social is kind of on a mini hiatus but we'll have some episodes heading your way (including both of these) in between our full comeback.
Hey guys. Terry here. I had kind of a rough father's day. It went fine, mostly, but then took some turns and long story short had to take care of some things. Everyone's okay but I'm having a rough night so we are probably going to postpone tomorrow's episode a week. Sorry friends.
I will always talk Alien and my first experience with it, but Paul's story about his first watch takes the cake. Might be the best Scarred for Life experience.
Today @mbmcandrews.bsky.social and @gaylydreadful.bsky.social chat with @pauletheredge.bsky.social about his latest movie The Other as well as touch on the turning-20 Hellbent before finding out why Alien gave him long-running nightmares growing up!

With the announcement of #ResidentEvil 9 and Maggie Robertson showing up at #SummerGameFest, you should go back to our episode and interview with Maggie. If you ever wanted to know what movie scared Lady Dimitrescu herself as a child, now's the time!

I tried to figure out the moral and have so many questions about the snake oil salesmen and why the townsfolk hate Pete. We laughed a lot discussing this wild movie.
This week @mbmcandrews.bsky.social and @gaylydreadful.bsky.social chat with David Joseph Craig and Brian Crano about their queer dark comedy I Don't Understand You, their horror history and why Pete's Dragon terrified David growing up. We have lots of questions about Pete's Dragon.

We're also going to be starting Little Cuts up again on a weekly basis. It's just been a hectic few months and the schedules didn't align.
Sorry we didn't have an episode last week. Technical issues. But tomorrow...

Happy birthday to @mbmcandrews.bsky.social, an amazing person, kick-ass filmmaker, and a welcoming, tolerant co-host of dorks who love movies about space porcupines.
Have an awesome day, Mary Beth!
Happy birthday to my fav found footage fanatic, horror writing warrior, podcasting powerhouse, and enigmatic editor-in-chief! May it be an awesome one and be the start of an unreal year for you @mbmcandrews.bsky.social!

Everyone should go wish my bestie and podcast host @mbmcandrews.bsky.social a very happy birthday. Maybe go leave a review/5 star rating on the podcast and read some Dread Central articles?

We were supposed to record @scarredpodcast.bsky.social Little Cuts tonight. Was going to send out the link to watch live. But I ended up leaving work at lunch time sick and without a voice. π«
Podcasts I listened to while stitching sequins/machine sewing (in no particular order):
@girlthatsscary.bsky.social
@scarredpodcast.bsky.social
@thisendsatprom.bsky.social
A Funny Feeling
Why Wonβt You Date Me?
(Both of those @headgum.com I believe)
@thejimharold.bsky.socialβs Campfire
I had an absolute blast chatting about that sad little baby Unico and his horrifying adventures on @scarredpodcast.bsky.social woth @mbmcandrews.bsky.social and @gaylydreadful.bsky.social!
Iβm so glad this movie is real, because for a while I thought maybe Iβd made Unico up.
Seriously. Scarred for life.
