Happy 50th Anniversary, Jaws! Join us in celebrating one of the greatest films of all time, and one of our favorite summer watches. From the New England coastal vibes to the lovable villain, Bruce the shark, we talk about our favorite moments, characters, and, of course, the cozy horror vibes.

For today’s paranormal story, Ashley shares the story of Shark Alpha, who was tagged for research before being attacked and killed by what was dubbed by filmmakers as some kind of “super predator.” Was it a giant squid? A pack of orcas? Or some kind of unknown deadly sea creature from the depths of the ocean?

We are celebrating our first Friday the 13th by discussing the 1980 slasher classic of the same name–because what kind of horror podcast would we be if we did not talk about this iconic franchise!

In today’s episode, we talk about the film's highs and lows, the birth of many of the horror tropes we love to make fun of today, the pristine summer camp vibes, and, of course, the outstanding practical effects.

And stick around for the paranormal segment of the podcast, as Ashley shares the true crime and haunted lore surrounding the Old Narrow Gauge Trail in Randolph, Maine.

Heyyyyy, you guys! Join us, as we chat about the rollicking good time that is Steven Spielberg’s 1985 family action film, The Goonies. From the abundance of child stars that we still love today, to our stretch to classify this as anything remotely related to the horror genre, as always, we have thoughts!

After a little chat about this fun, little adventure flick, Ashley shares the haunting history of Isla de las Munecas AKA The Island of the Dolls, an allegedly haunted, and definitely eerie floating garden filled with hundreds of dismembered dolls in Mexico.
