Watchalong: Poltergeist (1982)

Pete plays a reverse Uno card to pull an April Fool's prank on Bryan.  What was advertised as a watch-along of 1986's April Fool's Day became an attempt to prank Pete into watching Wicked: For Good.  Wise to Bryan's chicanery...Pete sets up a watchalong of his favorite horror movie...Poltergeist.  A watch-along three years in the making.
To watch with us cue up Poltergeist to the moment the MGM lion/logo appear on screen and pause it.  Pete will count down from three and you can hit play to be off and running.  Or just listen without watching like you usually do.  You know the drill by now.

The Guest (2014)

After nearly a decade of prodding...Bryan finally got Pete to watch Adam Wingard's 2014 movie The Guest.  Will it be enough to finally answer Pete's never ceasing question: "The Guest?" or will they remain locked in this tragic pattern forever?  Maybe both?

Scream 7 (2026)

Big time spoiler warnings for this episode as the Scare Value Boys try to figure out what went wrong with Scream 7.  Wait to listen to this one until after you've seen the movie...and The Bride! too for some reason.  They get heavy into spoilers on both movies.  From questionable fan service to focusing on the wrong plotline...Scream 7 came up short in too many areas to measure up to (most of) the franchise.  Join us as we talk about all of it.

It's Wednesday the 11th...and you know what that means.  It's time for another visit with our good friend Jason Voorhees.  This time around the Scare Value Boys are watching Jason Goes to Hell...the one where New Line Cinema screws everything up immediately.

Watchalong: Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan (1989)

It's Wednesday the 11th.  You know what that means!  The Scare Value Boys watch another Friday the 13th movie.  This time Jason takes a cruise to Vancouver!  Apparently that title didn't test well with audiences, so they called it Jason Takes Manhattan instead.  Even though that is a boldface lie.  Join us in a watch-along of Friday the 13th Part VII: Jason Takes Manhattan.  
Instructions to watch along are just a click away.  Or listen without watching.  I can't imagine it makes that big of a difference.  At least the way we do it...

Killer Klowns from Outer Space (1988)

The Scare Value Boys are back and they're talking about 1988's Killer Klowns from Outer Space.  They loved the movie as kids...will it hold up decades later?  Of course it will...it's KILLER KLOWNS FROM OUTER SPACE.  They'll also touch on Sinners' dominant Oscar nomination run, the greatness that is 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple and try to make sense out of the serve the Buffalo Bills through at them after last week's rant.  You know...the usual.

The Blob (1988)

The Scare Value Boys are joined by friend of the podcast Mark to discuss 1988's The Blob.  They have fun with the practical effects and awesome kills...while loving that extra bit of 80s wackiness.  Then, Bryan reads a prepared statement about the state of the Buffalo Bills following their latest disastrous ending.  Come for the destruction...stay for the reckoning.

Oh...and because they spent a long time after the game show chatting about complete pop culture nonsense...there will be a bonus episode later this week.  Just so we could keep this thing under two hours.  It got that silly.

Satan's Slaves 2: Communion (2022)

The Scare Value Boys return to Indonesia (really not really this time) to watch the sequel to Satan's Slaves.  It's a first time watch for one of them...you can probably guess which one.  He also can't remember anything about it despite watching it very recently.  Now you definitely know which one.  What will they think of Joko Anwar's continuing Satan's Slave story?  Come for the answer...stay for the roleplay segment between pedophile and kid.  Yeah.  You read that right.  You'll be surprised how naturally that idea manifests itself.

House (1985)/House II: The Second Story (1987)

With this year's Spooky Season Spectacular postponed for a week the Scare Value boys discuss two 80s horror comedies.  Pete picked this week's movies...and Bryan is left dumfounded after watching his picks.  If you remember watching House and House II: The Second Story as a kid...what better way to revisit them then by listening to two middle aged men argue about what in the world was happening in front of and behind their cameras.

Psycho II (1983)

The Scare Value Podcast returns to the Bates Motel to check in on our old friend Norman.  That's right...we're doing Psycho II this week.  The sequel no one wanted that holds up far better than it has any right to.  Instead of taking the easy road and producing a cheap slasher to fit the movies of the time...Psycho II delivers a deep character study...posing the question "Will society ever let someone like Norman Bates be sane?"  Spoiler alert:  The answer is no.

Freaky (2020)/Superman (2025)

Pete and Bryan have spent the week in each other's bodies as the result of an unexpected body swap.  What better time could there be to watch 2020's slasher comedy/body swap movie Freaky?  Spoiler...they spend more time talking about 2025's Superman and arguing about what they've learned in the last week than discussing the movie they were supposed to cover.  This is a weird one.

The Sadness (2021)

The Scare Value Podcast heads to Taiwan to wrap up its trip through Asian cinema.  It gives Pete the chance to exact revenge for a laundry list of aggravations.  As crazy as 2021's The Sadness is...this episode might be even crazier.  Pete invites a special guest to join the discussion.  Since they're in Taiwan you probably already figured out who that is.  Eventually...the simmering anger between the Scare Value Boys boils over into a full-fledged argument.  You won't believe how this one ends.

Shutter (2004)

The Scare Value Boys (fake) expedition through Asia continues with a look at 2004's Shutter from Thailand.  In this episode we learn that Pete believes in ghosts but not the subtitles he's reading.  So, yeah...the trip is going exactly as well as it has been going.

Train to Busan (2016)

The Scare Value Boys continue their (fake) tour of Asia with a loving look at South Korean masterpiece Train to Busan.  Pete puts his anger away just long enough to gush over the zombie movie...or, at least, he directs it at the child star instead of his podcast partner.  Plus...they attempt to recast the film's lead roles for an American remake.  It goes exactly like you expect it to.

One Cut of the Dead (2017)

The Scare Value Boys trip to Asia begins in Japan with a discussion of 2017 independent marvel One Cut of the Dead.  Pete is being a grump because they "didn't actually go to Japan"...but he loves the movie, nonetheless.  Stick around to find out how they find a comparison for this film to Rocky and, of all things, the Jackass franchise.

Watchalong: M3GAN (2023)

The Scare Value Boys tackle a two-year long issue when they sit down to revisit the 2023 hit movie M3GAN.  When they saw the movie together upon release...Pete claimed to like it.  He’s since spent two straight years claiming it was terrible while having never watched it again.  Will he still think it's bad this time?  Special bonus game:  Guess which one of us had pneumonia during this recording!

Bonus Episode: The 50th Anniversary Jaws Table Read

The entire Scare Value Podcast crew joins together (separately) to record a script read through for the 50th anniversary of Jaws.  There was a slight hitch in the process...as we discovered the night before that the script from Jaws doesn't exactly match the classic lines and moments from Spielberg's masterpiece.  Undaunted, the script was hastily re-written from memory to truly honor this momentous occasion.
