Ty West hit it out of the park with X, and surprised us all with the near-immediate release of it’s prequel Pearl.  Set in 1918, Pearl follows the younger self of our former protagonist as she lives on a farm and dreams of a life bigger than what she has. However, nothing wants to go the way she wants it to. Her husband immediately left her to go fight in the war, her mother hates everything she does, and her father (and only friend) is in no condition to comfort her. But, everything changes when her sister-in-law visits with the news of a huge opportunity at stardom. Now, Pearl will stop at nothing to get what she wants.  The movie brings back Mia Goth in the title role and features a brand new cast of characters to get axed off one by one.  Guest Find Us Online - Website: www.realhorrorshowpodcast.com - Twitter: www.twitter.com/Horrorshowpod - Support: www.realhorrorshow.com/support/ - Submit: www.realhorrorshow.com/submission-guidelines/  Good Things to Support - Quileute Move to Higher Ground: https://mth

Things start getting weird in The Hill House as the family settles into their new routine. Shirley takes on the monumental task of caring for some abandoned kittens she finds in the bard; however, each cat dies one by one, instilling a need to care for everyone around her.  That trauma manifests in the present as Shirley takes on all the responsibilities involved with preparing Ness’s funeral--including the embalming.  We also discuss Borderlands the movie and who we think should have played Moxxi. There’s also a heated debate as to what movies we should watch next.    Guest Find Us Online - Website: www.realhorrorshowpodcast.com - Twitter: www.twitter.com/Horrorshowpod - Support: www.realhorrorshow.com/support/ - Submit: www.realhorrorshow.com/submission-guidelines/    Good Things to Support - Quileute Move to Higher Ground: https://mthg.org/  - Red Canary Song: https://www.redcanarysong.net/ - List of BLM Affiliated Charities: https://bit.ly/3wSMW47 Abortion Funds in Every State https://shoutyourabortion.co

Well, it looks like we have officially reached the end of our time with John Kramer and Co. (for now). There’s been some highs and a lot of very low lows, but we made it through.  That’s right, this week we’re wrapping up our Saw retrospective with Saw X, the latest installment in the franchise. Released in October 2023, this movie picks up shortly after the events of the original Saw (2004) and follows John Kramer as he makes one final attempt to cure his cancer.  This attempt leads him to Mexico for an experimental treatment that’s guaranteed to cure even the most advanced forms of cancer. However, John soon finds out this was a scam used to prey upon society’s most desperate people and decides to punish the scammers in a way only Jigsaw can.  Guest Find Us Online - Website: www.realhorrorshowpodcast.com - Twitter: www.twitter.com/Horrorshowpod - Support: www.realhorrorshow.com/support/ - Submit: www.realhorrorshow.com/submission-guidelines/  Good Things to Support - Quileute Move to Higher Ground: https://

It’s been five whole movies since John Kramer/Jigsaw died; however, the franchise continues to find a way to work him back into the franchise--even if it didn’t make sense, as was the case with Jigsaw. Well, Darren Lynn Bousmann is back to explore the Saw universe outside the John Kramer circle. Finally, someone has accepted the fact that John Kramer is dead and that the Saw franchise needs to find a new direction.  Spiral: From the Book of Saw is a 2021 horror movie that decides to change the formula with help from comedian and horror fan Chris Rock. Spiral follows a detective who takes on the task of finding a serial killer copying in infamous Jigsaw killings.  Guest Find Us Online - Website: www.realhorrorshowpodcast.com - Twitter: www.twitter.com/Horrorshowpod - Support: www.realhorrorshow.com/support/ - Submit: www.realhorrorshow.com/submission-guidelines/    Good Things to Support - Quileute Move to Higher Ground: https://mthg.org/  - Red Canary Song: https://www.redcanarysong.net/ - List of BLM Affilia

While I gazed, this fissure rapidly widened — there came a fierce breath of the whirlwind — the entire orb of the satellite burst at once upon my sight — my brain reeled as I saw the mighty walls rushing asunder — there was a long tumultuous shouting sound like the voice of a thousand waters — and the deep and dank tarn at my feet closed sullenly and silently over the fragments of the “House of Usher.” -Edgar Allan Poe Our time with the Usher family has finally ended in this melancholic conclusion to Mike Flanagan’s latest miniseries. With the death of his eldest son, Roderick finds himself confronted with the millions of lives he’s taken and accepts the consequences of his actions--and accepts the sweet embrace of death. We also talk about the idea of heightened horror and what it should mean for the genre as a whole. There are also decisions kind of made about the next TV series will conquer on the minishow Guest Find Us Online - Website: www.realhorrorshowpodcast.com - Twitter: www.twitter.com/Horrorshowpo

The end of our time with the Usher family is rapidly approaching as they continue to die. This week, we bid farewell to the oldest of the Usher children: Frederick. He’s lost his mind trying to figure out why his wife was at that rave that night and is taking all that anger out on her, despite her chemical burns. However, Lenore is on to her father’s evil ways and plans to get her mother the help she needs.  Meanwhile, in the past, Roderick betrays Dupin, leaving Annabelle hurt and confused and Madeline smug and pleased.  Episode 8 of Fall of the House of Usher is based on the Edgar Allan Poe story of the same name.  Guest Find Us Online - Website: www.realhorrorshowpodcast.com - Twitter: www.twitter.com/Horrorshowpod - Support: www.realhorrorshow.com/support/ - Submit: www.realhorrorshow.com/submission-guidelines/  Good Things to Support - Quileute Move to Higher Ground: https://mthg.org/  - Red Canary Song: https://www.redcanarysong.net/ - List of BLM Affiliated Charities: https://bit.ly/3wSMW47 Abortion Fu

Everyone, let’s phone it in for the final movie in the Saw franchise: Saw 7 The Final Chapter 3D.  Mark Hoffman survived Jill Tuck’s trap and now she’s fighting for her life to get Hoffman locked up before he can take her out. Meanwhile, some dude is pretending to be a victim of the Jigsaw killer, making a crapton of money as a motivational speaker. I don’t know, I feel like he at least gets what John was trying to do with this whole thing.  We also welcome back Mr. Cary Elwes who isn’t just in it for the money this time. He’s in it to kick Hoffman’s ass.  Guest Find Us Online - Website: www.realhorrorshowpodcast.com - Twitter: www.twitter.com/Horrorshowpod - Support: www.realhorrorshow.com/support/ - Submit: www.realhorrorshow.com/submission-guidelines/    Good Things to Support - Quileute Move to Higher Ground: https://mthg.org/  - Red Canary Song: https://www.redcanarysong.net/ - List of BLM Affiliated Charities: https://bit.ly/3wSMW47 Abortion Funds in Every State https://shoutyourabortion.com/abortion-pi

A meeting with her grandfather sheds light on his deteriorating condition. Juno, despite joining the family, confides in Tammy about her profound loneliness, contrary to her expectations.

Fun fact: Sam had a tummy ache while recording this episode and was being so brave about it.  Unlike our dear Roderick Usher, who finds himself incapable of making the ultimate sacrifice to save his children. This week, we’re breaking down the fifth episode of Mike Flanagan’s Fall of the House of Usher which adapts Poe’s most well-known tale, “The Tell-Tale Heart”.  In “The Tell-Tale Heart” we follow an unnamed narrator describing their meticulous plan to murder an old man with a "vulture-like" eye. The narrator is obsessed with the old man's eye, which they find unsettling. They eventually carry out the murder and hide the old man's dismembered body beneath the floorboards. However, consumed by guilt and paranoia, the narrator starts to hear the old man's heartbeat emanating from the floorboards. The sound becomes increasingly unbearable, leading to the narrator confessing to the murder to silence the imagined heartbeat. Meanwhile, in the show, we find The Ushers overwhelmed with grief as they bury the first

It’s finally over.  We’ve reached the end.  Of Jeff’s story.  After a pretty lackluster start to a new trilogy, Saw V picks up literally seconds after the end of its predecessor, leaving Strahm trapped with the corpse of John Kramer. That doesn’t last long as he escapes his first trap and begins a cat-and-mouse game with Detective Mark Hoffman--Jigsaw’s chosen successor.  Meanwhile, a ragtag team finds themselves trapped by Jigsaw, and it’s a race against the clock to figure out how to get out of this twisted escape room. Oh yeah, they’re also all connected to each other somehow…but how?   Guest Find Us Online - Website: www.realhorrorshowpodcast.com - Twitter: www.twitter.com/Horrorshowpod - Support: www.realhorrorshow.com/support/ - Submit: www.realhorrorshow.com/submission-guidelines/    Good Things to Support - Quileute Move to Higher Ground: https://mthg.org/  - Red Canary Song: https://www.redcanarysong.net/ - List of BLM Affiliated Charities: https://bit.ly/3wSMW47 Abortion Funds in Every State https:/
