Fearless Films Podcast is a weekly show where we walk through horror movies, breaking down the beats, discussing the lore and interesting trivia of all the best (and worst) in the horror movie genre. The show started as Pete, the horror buff, explaining the plots of horror movies to Kevin, the scaredy cat, who hates being scared but is intrigued by these modern mythologies. Kevin eventually retired from the podcast, but the show goes on! Pete is now joined by Sarah, who also loves horror movies,…

Amorth then uncovers a Vatican conspiracy while dealing with his own personal…
Send us Fan Mail "Let's Encyclopedia Brown this bitch!" This week, Pete talks us through one of his favorite movies of all time, Stephen King's 1408. This 2007 film tells the story of a jaded horror author who checks in to the most haunted room in New York's Dolphin Hotel, only to find out that the stories are true, and he may never get out alive. Who will win? The stubborn alcoholic writer, or…
Send us Fan Mail It's based on a book, it's got a white woman solving a mystery, it features the teachings of 18th-century theologian Emanuel Swedenborg! It's the Netflix original, Things Seen and Heard! Sarah takes us through this 2021 film (which takes places in the 80's) about a family moving into an old home in upstate New York. Weird things start happening, the husband doesn't believe the…
Send us Fan Mail A 2000's remake of a William Castle classic starring a bunch of people not known for horror. If I had a nickel for every time that happened I would have two nickels!

What should be their rescue from…
Send us Fan Mail Dangerous imaginary friends, precocious little kids, and dark secrets from the past; that's a recipe for 2016's Lights Out! This week, Sarah walks us through this exciting horror flick that was actually expanded from a hugely popular short film from director David Sandberg. It tells the story of a family with a complicated and troubled history being haunted by a dangerous entity…
Send us Fan Mail Equal parts horror, comedy, homage, satire, gorefest, and anthology. That's the formula for 1988's Waxwork. When a group of yuppie college kids get invited to a private midnight showing at a new Waxwork, they are surprised to find that the exhibits are more interactive than they seem. Each scene of horrific violence is actually a portal to a pocket dimension where the most…
Send us Fan Mail Two feral children living in the woods, a mysterious entity watching over them, and a punk rock Jessica Chastain. That's how you make the 2013 film, Mama! When Jaime Lannister finds his missing nieces (who have been surviving in the woods for five years), him and his girlfriend, Beverly Marsh, take them in and try to care for them. However, a strange ghost-like figure the girls…
Send us Fan Mail What do you get when Stephen Spielberg wants to produce a blockbuster-style horror movie with Jan de Bont directing? You get 1999's The Haunting! Based on the famous Shirley Jackson novel, The Haunting of Hill House, this incredibly 90's film follows a troubled woman invited to a sleep study at a spooky old haunted house in western Massachusetts. The reality, however, is that the…
Send us Fan Mail Finally an exorcism movie that does not follow the exact same formula as all the rest! That's right, we are talking about 2022's Prey for the Devil. Sarah talks us through this exciting tale about a nun who is allowed to observe the exorcism training school of the Catholic Church. It's kind of like the X-men school for Gifted Youngsters, but normal people fighting the devil…
Send us Fan Mail Wait a second. Didn't we already cover a movie called The Nun, about an evil spirit in a habit that kills people in Europe?? There is more than one movie with that premise!? And it's not even in the same franchise!? That's right folks, this week we are not discussing anything related to the Conjuring Universe or any Blumhouse production. Pete is covering the early 2000's…
