Scare Value Podcast

The Scare Value Boys close out their 1986 version of Watch-Alaugust with a trip to the Drive In to watch the Gordon/Crampton/Combs/Lovecraft classic From Beyond.  Look, we know last year's watch-along of Re-Animator bordered on creepy given our love of Barbara Crampton.  ...  This one doesn't go any better.

Watch-Alaugust continues from the 1986 Drive-In as Pete and Bryan revisit a classic from their formative years...Howard the Duck.  Duck boobs, Lea Thompson, Jeffrey Jones and the two longest sequences in film history.  It was the best of times...it was the worst of times.  Most importantly...it was 1986.

It's time for another table read as the Scare Value Boys finally settle one of their long-standing disputes.  After watching The Fly a couple of years ago...or 40...who's counting?...they came away with very different understandings of an important character in David Cronenberg's practical effect masterpiece.  Is Stathis a hero or a villain?  They dive into the original screenplay to find the answer.  Everyone you know from the show is on hand to take part in another incredible waste of everyone's time.  We've got kids...we've got foreign correspondents...we've got long time family friends...we've got the one adult female we know...and, yes, we've got a returning Oscar winning actor.  Happy 40th, The Fly!

Watch-Alaugust 2026 continues 1986 style!  Pete and Bryan head back to the drive-in to try (and fail) to decipher what is going on in Stephen King's lone directorial effort.  What is and isn't a machine?  Who is and isn't a talented film director?  Those questions will only partially be answered as Watch-Alaugust rolls on.

Watch-Alaugust 2026 gets underway straight from 1986!  Pete and Bryan head to the drive-in to record a watch-along of John Carpenter's Big Trouble in Little China.  It's a wild movie that deserves a wild watch-along.  Mission accomplished.

Our return to 1986 hits a new high with a discussion on Michael Mann's Manhunter.  We fall in love with the weird choices, fantastic aesthetics and watching William Petersen jump through a window.  It gets us very excited to watch The Silence of the Lambs again once we are in a time period where that movie exists.  Join us for a surprisingly in-depth discussion on this 1980's gem.

The Scare Value Boys check into the Bates Motel once again to share their thoughts on Psycho III.  They're still bumming around 1986...and it's not exactly going according to plan.  On the bright side...they get to watch Jeff Fahey devour scenery while Anthony Perkins hands out another great take on his most famous character.

The Scare Value Boys are back in 1986...literally.  This time they've time traveled on purpose to bring you another run of episodes from the best year that ever was.  They're kicking off this new season in (poor) style with a discussion of Poltergeist II: The Other Side.  Will it start their trip off with a thud...or will those sweet 1986 vibes be back in effect?  Hope for the latter because they're doing nine more weeks of this.

Our Twin Peaks: The Return mini-series comes to a conclusion with this bonus discussion of what in the Hell we think was happening on this incredible limited event series.  Who is the dreamer?  What's the deal with Billy?  How did it all end?  Who was Bill Pullman?  All of these questions and more will be answered as incorrectly as you'd imagine.  Plus...a sneak peak of what's coming up this summer on Scare Value Podcast!

Way back when we started Scare Value Podcast we recorded a brief non-spoiler out of theater reaction to Scream VI.  Three years and a quarter years later...we decided to do that again for Evil Dead Burn.  This was recorded in a windy parking lot with a less than professional recording device so the audio can get a bit bumpy...but it's also a brisk 23 minutes so what do you have to lose? 
There will be a more professional sounding bonus episode tomorrow as we wrap up our Twin Peaks: The Return coverage before venturing out on our next journey.  Which, ironically, we spoil in this non-spoiler talk about Evil Dead Burn.

We've reached the end of Twin Peaks: The Return...but we're going out in style.  Join us for a watch-along of the epic and enjoyably confounding conclusion of the still way ahead of its time limited series.  Queue up Parts 17 and 18 and watch with us as we throw around complex, conflicting and haphazard theories about what in the world we are watching.  Then come back in a few days when we drop a bonus episode going deeper into those theories...which are all ultimately wrong anyway.  But that's part of the beauty of the whole thing.  Nine years later and it's still all I want to talk about.  It'll be just as true in ninety years.  A truly singular work...that you can watch along with two idiots.

The Scare Value Boys reach the penultimate week of their return to Twin Peaks.  Emotions run high as we lose the Log Lady, Diane's true nature is revealed, Dale Cooper finally returns...and Audrey Horne...well...  Join us for our discussion on Parts 15 and 16 of David Lynch's final masterwork.  It all ends next week with a watch-along for Parts 17 and 18...and a bonus episode where we try to make sense of what we just watched.

The Scare Value Boys' coverage of Twin Peaks: The Return is hurdling towards its conclusion at light speed.  This week they discuss every weird moment in Parts 13 and 14 of the limited series.  Who is Billy?  Why is Gordon Cole dreaming of a real person?  Is arm wrestling the best way to run an election?  All this and more confusion in this week's Scare Value Podcast.

The Scare Value Boys continue their journey back to Twin Peaks with Parts 11 and 12 of Twin Peaks: The Return.  They get into their biggest argument about the meaning of some music playing in a scene...yes, even bigger than their argument about what Andy and Lucy were really arguing about last episode.  That's a lot of arguing.  They agree this show rocks though.

The Scare Value Boys are still trying to recover from Part 8 of Twin Peaks: The Return while the show starts tying story strands together in some interesting and unexpected ways.  They discuss Part 9 and 10 of David Lynch's final major work as we pass the halfway point of our Twin Peaks: The Return run.

The Scare Value Boys reconvene to experience the stunning Part 8 of Twin Peaks: The Return in watch-along format.  They do one for Part 7 too...but anyone who has seen the show before knows that Part 8 is the big draw here.  A mind-blowing hour of television...and one of the finest hours of David Lynch's career.  What does it all mean?  Hell if we know.  But boy is it something.

The Scare Value Boys continue their slow trek back to Twin Peaks alongside Dougie Jones, Mr. C, Janey-E and a whole host of other misfits.  What will Pete think of Wally Brando?  Will he continue to look for Bill Pullman on the Lost Highway?  Did he really not know that David Lynch played a character in Twin Peaks?  Find out all this and whether Bryan can keep his sanity while talking Twin Peaks: The Return Episodes 3 and 4 with Pete.

Pete and Bryan begin their journey back to Twin Peaks with a watch-along of the first two episodes of David Lynch's final major work, Twin Peaks: The Return.  How will Bryan hold up watching this with his clearly brain damaged friend?  Not well.  Not well at all.  Only eight weeks to go...he tells himself through frustrated tears.

It's a family affair on this week's Scare Value Podcast.  Pete's wife Kitty and their daughter Fred join the show to watch 1985's Return to Oz...an alleged family film that gave nightmares to Xennials everywhere.  Will the new generation think that's ridiculous?  Or are two 47-year-old men right to still be frightened of a children's movie?  Find out by watching (and listening) along with us!

Friend of the podcast Mark returns to try and help Pete understand what he watched in 1989's Society.  It's a wild movie that has sadly gotten less shocking due to real world events.  Still, it's pretty great.  Don't be a butthead...get to listening wherever you get your podcasts.

The Scare Value Boys tackle another 2026 release in the killer chimpanzee movie Primate.  They discuss why not having things like plot and character development can sometimes improve a movie...at least when that movie is about a chimpanzee with rabies trying to kill everyone around him.  Seriously...what B-plot is going to improve that viewing experience?

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 watch-along 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.

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?

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.

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.

The Scare Value Boys revisit a movie they loved thirty years ago...and find they still love it.  We're talking all about Billy Zane's wildly entertaining performance, our love of the brand, and the film's surprisingly important place in horror movie history.  Plus, hopefully, the final disappointing Bills update we ever have to do.

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 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.

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.
