The Horror Movies I Can't Wait to See
It's just me this week, so I'm catching up with the chat and talking about what I'm watching, what's happening in horror, and the movies I'm most excited to see. I get into Never After Dark, Other Mommy, Robert Eggers' new werewolf movie, Black Zombie, Hollow Warrior, and Anna Biller's The Face of Horror. There's also some Mike Flanagan and Dark Tower news, horror fashion, American Horror Story, and a little Widow's Bay Emmy celebration. Then I listen to your suggestions on Scarah's Scary Hotline for my October Scream Theatre screening, including Terrifier, All Hallows' Eve, Ju-On, and some other possibilities. This week's new hotline question: Which iconic horror movie villain actually had a justifiable excuse for their murder spree? Call 512-710-8766 and leave me a voicemail. I'll play some of your answers on the next show. Until next time, I'll see you in your screams.

Joel Robertson: Why Physical Media Still Matters
This week I'm joined by my friend Joel Robertson, film programmer, movie reviewer, physical media collector, musician, and video store purveyor at Austin's We Love Video. Joel and I have a lot in common, especially our love of showing movies to an audience and then getting up there to talk about them. We talk about his Odd World screening series, the history of We Love Video, and why places where movie people can actually get together still matter. Joel describes We Love Video as both a video store and a community space, with around 30,000 movies and its own 35-seat microcinema. We also get into physical media and why Joel thinks it's more important than ever to actually own the movies you care about. Then we complain about what happened to the Alamo Drafthouse, talk Tubi, documentaries, movie collecting, his reviews at Moving Picture House, and his band Hounding. Plus Bone Deep, where Joel landed right at 50%, and some very entertaining messages on Scarah's Scary Hotline. Until next time, I'll see you in your screams.

J.M. Logan: From Leatherface to The Relic: Dragon
This week I'm joined by filmmaker J.M. Logan, and this guy has some STORIES. J.M. has worked on more than 100 films over the last three decades, but he got an especially wild start: at just 19, he worked on Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation, where he created all three of Leatherface's looks — including the Pretty Lady mask. And when they needed somebody to actually be Leatherface for part of the chase? Yep. He did that too. We talk about growing up in Austin obsessed with making movies, practical effects and animatronics, working with Screaming Mad George, The Passion of the Christ, Apocalypto, and what decades behind the scenes taught him about actually getting a movie made. Then we get into Josh's new adventure-horror feature The Relic: Dragon, the beginning of his planned Relic Universe. We talk monsters, cosmic horror, practical effects, indie filmmaking and why he decided that everyone who worked on the movie should share in its success. Plus Horror Headlines, Bone Deep, Scarah's Scary Hotline, and a whole lot of movie talk. Stay spooky. Stay weird. I'll see you in your screams.

Embalmer, Artist & Haunt Actor Libby Soleil
This week I'm joined by my friend Libby Soleil — artist, haunt actor, funeral director and embalmer! We talk about what it's really like working in the funeral industry, how Libby got into embalming, some things about death and funerals I definitely didn't know, and why you probably shouldn't let AI write your loved one's obituary. We also get into her creepy eyeball art, her handmade Peekaboo character at Bat City Scaregrounds, our mutual love of Halloween and why weirdos like us actually enjoy being scared. Plus horror talk, Bone Deep, the Scary Hotline, and plenty of other weirdness along the way. Oh — and Scarah's Screamcast is officially ONE YEAR OLD! If I'm Scarah, then you must be .. the DOOMED

Houston Horror Stories with Alex & Marissa
Scarah is joined by friends Alex and Marissa for a post-Houston Horror Film Festival hangout packed with convention stories, horror news, movies, and plenty of chaos. Scarah takes us behind the scenes of moderating panels with the cast of M3GAN, the Friday the 13th Final Girls, and The Doom Generation reunion featuring Rose McGowan, James Duval and Johnathon Schaech — including some audience questions that definitely kept her on her toes. The crew also talks about the convention experience, favorite cosplay and encounters, plus the Houston premiere of Michael Minett's short film Five, which Scarah and Marissa helped bring to life. On the horror-news side, Scarah remembers legendary special makeup effects artist Screaming Mad George, talks IT: Welcome to Derry Season 2 and previews Fantastic Fest. Then the Scary Hotline kicks off a deeper conversation about generative AI in horror: what happens when technology stops being a filmmaking tool and starts replacing the human creative process? And of course, Alex steps up to face Bone Deep. It's horror fandom, filmmaking, convention culture and three friends talking spooky shit — Screamcast style.
