Frightmares
Grab some popcorn and turn down the lights for Frightmares, a weekly deep-dive into the chilling world of horror cinema. Host Austin is rarely alone in the dark, joined by a rotating crew of fellow film enthusiasts like his wife Gabby, friend Cory, Michael from the Shame List Picture Show, and Jon of Little Hops of Horror. Together, they pick apart a different scary movie every episode, from fresh releases to forgotten gems, debating their merits with the passion of true cinephiles. The central question hanging over each conversation is whether the film earns the group's coveted distinction of being a "certified slap." You'll hear detailed reviews, spirited discussions about what truly unsettles an audience, and the kind of easy, sometimes hilarious banter that comes from friends sharing a genuine love for the genre. This podcast is for anyone who appreciates the craft behind a good scare, offering analysis that goes beyond simple jump scares to explore storytelling, atmosphere, and performance. Whether you're looking for your next watch or just enjoy hearing people geek out over film, Frightmares provides a consistently engaging and thoughtful take on all things horror.
