Before we dive into this movie we talk about the Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise as a whole and discuss why they can't seem to get this series right. Oh, and we give an important update on Britney!

Very excited to be joined yet again by my friend Brandon! Today we are discussing the 2006 classic by Neil Marshall, "The Descent". We deep-dive on this movie and various other topics, but mostly talk about reasons why Juno is an awful person. Oh, and we talk about the unnecessary garbage sequel to this movie as well. Throw on your best pair of 2006 bootcut jeans and give this episode a listen!

Super stoked to have David Howard Thornton join the show! We discuss many topics including: David's upbringing in rural Alabama, his theatre roots, auditioning and landing the role of Art the Clown, all things Terrifier and its upcoming sequel, and he answers some listener submitted questions!

Got a killer episode for you today! I am joined by Schuylar Croom, singer of the rock n roll band "He Is Legend" from Wilmington, NC. We get weird on this one. We talk about vegetarian/ vegan diets, growing up in the south, urban legends, ghosts and cryptids, psychedelics, meditation, and of course- a good dose of horror movie talk!  Schuylar's Instagram/Twitter: @crucialdude Intro song: "Air Raid" off the album "Few" Outro: "Boogiewoman" off the album "White Bat"  Support He Is Legend! heislegendnc.com  Don't forget to leave a rating on itunes!

Welcome to the Halloween hangover episode! Today, Brandon and I discuss this classic Halloween staple as a send off to our favorite season.

And of course we talk about some recent movies we've watched as well. Don't forget to leave an itunes rating and don't forget to check your candy!

This is one VHSick episode! Very excited to have Josh Schafer from Lunchmeat VHS joining the podcast today. Starting in 2008 with the celebration and preservation of VHS and video store culture in mind, Lunchmeat has helped VHSpread the good word to the masses. In this episode we touch on many rad topics. Josh and I bro out over exercise,talk about the fate of Video Vortex (a 70,000 title video store that Josh helped create in Raleigh, NC), horror movie recommendations, the thrill of VHS hunting, and VCR care tips. We also discuss a vastly underrated flick from the early 90's, and so much more!

Super stoked for this one! Chimaira were the front runners of the "New Wave of American Heavy Metal" for many years. They toured the world with everyone from Slayer to Slipknot, and today I'm joined by their singer Mark Hunter to talk horror movies for a bit. We share movie recommendations, talk about our favorite "Shining" conspiracies, the present and future of Chimaira, and much more! Mark also reveals the one movie that causes him to break out in anger sweats whenever he hears the name of it. Tune in to find out which one!  If you had told 15 year old me that one day I'd be chatting about horror movies with my favorite metal singer I wouldn't have believed it, but here we are. Man, life is weird! I hope you enjoy this episode because I enjoyed the hell out of recording it!

This one was a long time coming! I'm excited to have my friend Brandon back on to watch the classic Halloween with me! You can listen as a standalone episode, or if you're really trying to get crunk on the Halloween spirit then feel free to watch with us. I had a blast recording this one (and quite a few beers) so I hope you enjoy this one!

If you've been a long time listener, you may remember Colin who joined me on a "Beers and Bullshit" episode a year ago. Today he joins the Spook House yet again! We talk gaming, movies we've watched, movie theaters, Resident Evil (the games and the movie), and I answer a few more listener questions! Unfortuately, there is an occasional static noise throughout this episode (yay for technical issues) so I apologize for that. But, I'm going to try and not let that ruin my love for this episode, because I enjoyed the hell out of recording it! You can find Colin's channel at twitch.tv/Ends_Meat.

It's good to be back! Today, I'm joined by my good friend Brandon to help me break down the entire Scream series both good and bad (*cough Scream 3 *cough). 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.

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).

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!

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.
