Did you know Jackie Earle Haley wrote a horror movie after his child acting career ended and Shooter McGavin played the main character whose invisible friend drives him crazy? Oh don’t lie to us, we know you weren’t hip to the wonders found in PLAYROOM (1990), but that’s why this show exists - we find the hidden treasure for you! If you like Italian horror shots, this one’s for you; if you like man-goes-mad tropes, this one’s for you; if you like monster puppetry…. THIS ONE’S FOR YOU. We’ve been waiting since we were kids to have you sit on our circular saw throne, let’s play! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Ever have that feeling of standing in a video store aisle, staring at a box with wild artwork, hoping you’re about to discover a hidden gem? That’s the spirit Horror Movie Night channels every episode. Hosts Matt, Scott, and Kyle from Geekscape are your guides through the highs and lows of the genre, from forgotten oddities to beloved classics. They fully commit to the gamble, so you get the genuine excitement of a surprising find like *American Gothic* right alongside the shared misery of a baffling flop like *Terror Toons*. The dynamic is less a formal review and more like eavesdropping on friends passionately debating a movie they just rented, capturing that specific blend of nostalgia and snark. Listening to this podcast feels like a weekly hangout where the conversation is fueled by cinematic scares and genuine laughs. You’ll hear their immediate reactions, the tangents, and the camaraderie that turns even the most disappointing film into an entertaining experience. It’s a comedy and film discussion wrapped in the worn-out VHS tape of memory, perfect for anyone who misses the ritual of picking a movie based solely on its cover.
