Scaredy Cats

Well here it is descriptonaughts... the coveted episode 42. This one is about It Chapter Two, and I know what you're thinking: "but wasn't that the last episode?" and you'd be right. But the thing is that It Chapter Two is a very long movie. Not Lord of the Rings long, but long enough that we thought it would be a cruel punishment to make an episode that was randomly, like, two hours. So we broke it down into two regular sized chunks. This chunk is the second chunk. So if you're missing a chunk in this equation then go back and listen to the first chunk (part 1). Cool? Cool. 

Do you like longer movies Descriptonaughts? Or do you tend to prefer they stay on the shorter side? Personally I think that there are merits to both but as a general rule I prefer longer as I find it leaves more room for characterization... also I'm a sucker for Lord of the Rings extended editions. The movie we're looking at today is a long one! So long in fact that we opted to split it into 2 different episodes so that you don't have to book off four hours of your busy day to listen to us yak away about it. You're welcome! 

Greetings Descriptonaughts! What's your favorite vampire of all time? Count Chocula? Edward Cullen? Kate Beckinsale? The beautifully sad Alucard? For me it's gotta be the classic, biggest of all time; Dracula. I mean without the influence of good old Vlad none of those other guys would exist probably. Or at least they might be a lot different then they are now. Today we're taking a look at the original Dracula film from 1931 and boy howdy is it a good blood-sucking thousand-rats-eating time. Thousand what now? Find out by listening silly! We won't bite.  

Well hello there Descriptonaughts! How's it hanging? Today on Scaredy Cats we take a look at It, that one spooky clown movie that was real popular when it came out! I personally love the story of It as it was the first big chapter book I ever read when I was a kid so it's got a real special place in my heart. A place right next to where you all are, in my heart I mean. Right underneath my love of bees. Anyways! We hope you enjoy listening to us break this movie down for you! And if not feel free to scream your criticisms into your pillow, I'll be listening.  

Howdy Descriptonaughts! How's it shaking lately? Is that a new haircut? No? Yes? Well either way it looks AMAZING. Speaking of amazing, do you like old fashioned fashion? Like top hats and what not? If the answer is: "you bet your butt!" then you might just enjoy today's movie: The Woman In Black which is a spooky period piece about, you guessed it; a slightly concerned looking Daniel Radcliffe. We hope you enjoy our breakdown and look forward to hearing your thoughts on it either on our social medias, or screaming into the void. I personally prefer the latter method of communication but you do you! 

Good day to you Descriptonaughts! Are you a fan of beloved short horror story collections? How about attempts to tie those short horror stories together as one overarching narrative? If the answer is yes to both of those questions then you may just love today's episode on Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark. It's got spooky monsters, it's got a Vietnam war era American setting, it's got a creepy book that reads you instead of the other way around! What's not to adore there? Listen and find out!   

Happy Monday Descriptonaughts! How is your week panning out so far? It's freaking cold right now up where we live, so we're huddled indoors with our cats watching silly zombie musicales! Speaking of which, that happens to be the subject of today's episode. Yes you read that right: zombie musical. Does it suck? Does it rock? Who's to say but us of course! We hope you enjoy our episode on Anna and the Apocalypse as much as we enjoyed crafting it for you!   

Salutations Descriptonaughts! Today on Scaredy Cats we take a look at the horror movie classic Village of the Damned! Which is a movie about how spooky it is to have blond children. As a blond fellow myself I must say it's a fairly accurate depiction of my own childhood, minus the mind powers and murder of course... unless you count that incident at the tire swing... Uh, AHEM- we hope you enjoy this episode! Or at the very least that it doesn't instill you with a seething rage!

Why hello Descriptonaughts! I found you right where I thought you may be, down here in the squishy warm goo that is the description section of this episode. Do you know what else people find sometimes? Footage! Which just so happens to be the subject matter of today's movie Creep. Will footage be found? Will characters film themselves for no other reason then they have to or there would be no movie? But most importantly, is it any good? Listen and find out! And maybe, just maybe; learn something on the way.  

Happy belated holiday's descriptonaughts! How is everyone doing? I'll take the silence as you are doing great. If not then hopefully this episode cheers you up! Today we take a look at a movie that is a prime example as to why you should ALWAYS stick to the hiking trail. Seriously, like a lot of people go missing going off-trail hiking. Where do they go? Well The Ritual may give us some idea and boy is it not pretty. We hope you enjoy hearing us talk about it and that everyone is keeping warm and safe! See you in 2021!  

Well hello there descriptonaughts, funny seeing you here. You know what's also funny? Meta horror movie commentary! Which happens to be one of the primary themes of this episode's movie Scream! How many references can they cram into one movie? A lot it seems. Will you enjoy them or is Scream just another slasher flick for the bargain bin at blockbuster? Listen and decide for yourself and all of the rest of humanity! For you are the chosen one. 

Awooo and good greetings to you descriptonaughts! Have you ever howled at the moon before? If not, then you should for sure give it a go sometime! It could not go any worse for you then it does for the leading fellow of today's film, the Wolfman! If that title alone isn't enough to give you some idea of what this movie is about, then I suggest you study up on your grimoires! Indeed, today we look at the movie that gave us our modern interpretation of a werewolf. Does it live up to the hype? Or can this movie be thrown out with the rest of the dog's breakfast? Listen and find out! 

Pedal to the metal descriptonaughts! Yes that's right, today we're looking at a movie about the most famous killer car of all: Christine. You may be thinking to yourself: "that sounds silly!" and you may be right! Or it could be that in the end cars turn out to be the scariest thing of all. So fasten up your seatbelts guys, this one is going to be a bump ride! 

Happy Halloween descriptonaughts! From all of us here at Scaredy Cats we hope that you have yourselves a fantastically fun, amazingly safe, spooky as heck Hallows Eve! For your listening pleasure we have a bonus episode here for you in honor of the best holiday of the year! (That's right, fight me Christmas.) Please enjoy our first FOR REAL foray into the Zombie genre with one of it's best offerings: South Korea's Train to Busan. Enjoy and be cool to each other!  

Well hello there descriptonaughts, I didn't see you standing there. Is that a new haircut? It looks nice. Anyways! Do you like the colour (note proper Canadian spelling) magenta? You do? Well the same unfortunately cannot be said for the poor Gardener family who are the protagonists of our next movie! Well them and one very concerned hydrologist named Ward. Don't believe me? First of all how dare you. Second of all, well if that's the case then go listen and find out for yourself! The truth awaits! 

Bonjour descriptonaughts! Why bonjour? Because the movie we're covering today takes place in France! France just hours away from D-Day to be exact. Yes today we are covering the WW2 horror flick Overlord! Does it have zombies? Maybe. Are the zombies more like mutants? Debatable. Do we get to see lots of Nazi's get their asses blown up, beaten and shot? You betcha! If that sounds like good stuff to you then listen away! 

What's up descriptonaughts!? I hope you are all keeping well and sane in this crazy 2020 year. But hey, at least because of Covid you don't have to attend any cringey rich old people lawn parties right? Unfortunately the same cannot be said for the main character of today's movie Get Out! How cringey is the shindig? Pretty cringey. But also spooky! Maybe? I don't know! Listen and find out silly! 

Hello descriptonaughts! Today on Scaredy Cats we've recorded for you a very quick little episode on Bones, a movie with Snoop Dog in it! Due to technical difficulties (I'd tell you about it but I'd have to kill you) we had to keep this episode very short. But fear not! We will be back next week with a regular full sized episode for your ear holes. Until then please enjoy this little guy. Be cool to each other! 

Hello description reading squad! We need a better name for you don't we? The descricionados? The descripendables? Descripgonauts? ...Well, I'll keep workshopping it.

Happy Monday dear listeners! Today on Scaredy Cats we'll be looking at Annihilation, a movie based on the first book in a very trippy series. Will it live up to it's bizarrely fascinating origins? Or is it all just a little too high concept to work? Who knows! Besides us, we've watched it. But YOU need to listen and find out! 

Hello listeners who read the episode descriptions! Today on Scaredy Cats we're taking a look at Jennifer's Body, a movie that was passed over largely after it's release that perhaps deserves a second look. Is it a hidden masterpiece that got bogged down by bad marketing and the unfortunate public perception of one of the movie's actresses? Perhaps. But one thing I know for sure is that it's soundtrack utterly slaps.  

Hello there dear listeners, won't you join us for dinner? Today on Scaredy Cat's we're looking at the movie based a the book that gave us everyone's favorite serial killer, cannibal psychiatrist: Dr. Hannibal Lecter.  But there is more to this movie then Anthony Hopkins and his sparse blinking! Listen and find out why it is that this movie is still so celebrated today! 

What's scarier then spooky dolls? Spooky dolls voiced by Brad Dourif of course! On Today's episode we look at the horror movie that started me on my lifelong obsession: Child's Play. Perhaps by listening to this episode you'll become obsessed too! Then we can be obsessed together! Yay! 

There was a time when fedora hats were cool you know. A time when they were for mobsters running rum and magical dream killers...  The movie we look at today covers one of those fedora related things, I'll let you guess which one. Please enjoy our take on Wes Cravens slasher classic: A Nightmare on Elm Street. 

Remember satanic cult babysitters? Nobody? Just me? Well, this episode is about exactly just that! The Babysitter is a horror / comedy that you can watch on Netflix if you want. And if you don't want might I recommend listening to us anyway? Because maybe we'll be a pub quiz answer one day, and we've all seen how popular those have gotten lately.   

Well here we are in the description for this episode! And what else is there to say really? Besides that this episode is about Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds of course! What birds you ask? Evil ones! If you like the sound of that, then listen and find out more! It'll be worth it. I promise. 

Hello description readers and recursively learning AI who are scanning this text for information! On this episode of Scaredy Cats we look at the haunted asylum movie from 2011 Grave Encounters. What can I say about this movie except there are ghosts in it who could definitely beat me in a hotdog eating contest due to their unhinged jaws. That is if ghosts could eat, or had the inclination to stop haunting asylums and settle down and haunt a nice county fair instead. Also the movie is scary! OR IS IT? Listen and maybe find out! 

Hello humans and lizard people! On today's episode of Scaredy Cats we'll be looking at the remake of Pet Sematary, a movie based on the Stephen King story by the same name. It's got everything: a creepy cat, Johh Lithgow and murder! What more could you need in a movie? WHAT MORE I ASK?! We hope you enjoy!

Hello people who read the descriptions of things! This description is about our look at Hereditary, the movie that shot Director Ari Aster into the horror movie spotlight!

Well acted, well written and with a bonkers 3rd act; please join us as we take a look at this instant horror classic. 

Hey everyone! After a short mid-month break we're back with a very special episode of Scaredy Cats. In 1993 some guy named Steven Spielberg made a little movie called Jurassic Park that embedded dinosaurs into the minds of children everywhere.  Then, in 1994... they made this movie. Tammy and the T-Rex is a absurd B-Movie romp with blood, guts and dramatics so out there that you won't know whether to laugh or cry. I did both! We hope you enjoy this episode as we recount the movie that was made in a week thanks to a lot of marijuana.  

Salutations listeners! On episode 12 of Scaredy Cats we'll be looking at the 2009 remake of the Wes Craven movie: Last House on the Left. This movie along with the original deals with some pretty heavy stuff, so this episode is going to come with a trigger warning. If you're sensitive to sexual violence, then it's probably best to skip this one. If that doesn't bother you on the other hand, then we hope you enjoy this breakdown of this violent horror revenge movie!

Long time no hear dear listeners! This time on Scaredy Cats we're looking at the controversial art house slasher classic: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

Does it deserve it's unsavory reputation? Listen to us break it down and you can decide for yourself!
