Matty and Andrew are back with a brand new episode — and this week it's giving Mean Girls, but make it horror. We're breaking down who gets to sit with us (RIP Annabelle, we don't make the rules) before diving into two flicks about cliques, queen bees, and what happens when you'll do anything to get in. 🎬 FILM ONE: Heathers (1989) Three girls named Heather rule Westerburg High until new kid J.D.…
Wave pools. Drain suction. Parasites that laugh at chlorine. Turns out the "safe" attraction at the water park was never safe — and we've got the real-life horror stories to prove it (RIP Action Park, aka "Traction Park"). 🎬 PIRANHA (1978) — Genetically engineered killer fish, bred for Vietnam, get loose and head straight for a summer camp. Spielberg himself called it "the best of the Jaws…
How far will we go for beauty? How deep and dear is the costs? We dig in to a genuinely gruesome history — lead face paint, arsenic wafers, radium perms, and an electric corset that promised to cure your "hysteria." We dig into how beauty has been poisoning people for centuries, then bring it into the present with looksmaxxing, bone smashing, and the new horror of AI dysmorphia — patients bringing…
🌈🔪 Episode 164: PRIDE SHOULDN'T BE TERRIFYING 🔪🌈 It's Pride Month, and Matty & Andrew are asking the question nobody wants to answer: why does celebrating still feel like a risk? This week's Horror in Real Life: Pride events turning into full security operations, parades getting canceled outright (Tampa, Arlington, Long Beach), corporate sponsors quietly bailing, and the online harassment…
The lease says one year. The nightmare is forever. This week Matty & Andrew dive into one of the most universally relatable horrors imaginable — your landlord. From Matty's own front-row seat to the Dublin housing crisis to the very real terror of LGBTQ+ people losing their homes during the AIDS epidemic, we cover the full spectrum of landlord horror: the passive-aggressive newsletter, the…
Nature doesn't care about you. It never did. This week Matty & Andrew are boarding up the windows and sitting with the most primal fear of all — the sky itself turning against you. We get into the long, ugly history of storms being used to blame queer people, the real science behind why severe weather feels genuinely supernatural, and why Tornado Alley is no longer where anyone thinks it is. Also:…
🧚♀️🩸 Episode 161: FAIRY TALES ARE TERRIFYING 🩸🧚♀️ Once upon a time, two brave, beautiful, and moderately unhinged men set out on a quest… This week Matty & Andrew go down the breadcrumb trail of fairy tale horror — the actual famine that birthed Hansel & Gretel, why Little Red Riding Hood was never really about a wolf, the patriarchy hiding inside every "happily ever after," and how the…
Do NOT touch the planchette. This week, Matty & Andrew are rolling the dice on board game horror — from the real-life Ouija board possession case that inspired The Exorcist, to the brief and genuinely unsettling history of board games that have ended in actual murder (Yahtzee, we're looking at you), to a close reading of games so offensive they were banned outright. And then we watched some…
Step right up… to your worst nightmare. This episode, Matty & Andrew are diving honk-first into all things clown horror — from the origins of the clown (cute!) to the very real terror of the 2016 creepy clown panic (not cute!) to John Wayne Gacy, who used his alter ego Pogo the Clown to hide crimes too monstrous to comprehend. And then we watched some movies. 🍿🎈 🎬 KILLER KLOWNS FROM OUTER SPACE…
It's a FRIGAY REWIND! Andrew is DRAGGING up one of our fave episodes— all about drag! Enjoy, FriGays, and we'll be back with a new episode soon.
