Don’t Fuck With The Original

WTF Was That Ending - Part 1

Tonight is the start of a new series in our podcast titled, "WTF was that Ending?!" where we, Becky and Casper, rewrite the conclusion to some of our horror favorites that had endings we just didn't agree with. The first film in this series is the 2010 supernatural mockumentary The Last Exorcism. The ending to this found footage demonic thriller was very controversial so we give you our take on how we would finish it. Let us know your thoughts or how you would end The Last Exorcism yourself.

The Substance

Movie Review Night! WARNING: SPOILERS! Tonight we are reviewing & discussing The Substance, starring Demi Moore, Margaret Qualley and Dennis Quaid. A body horror film that centers around Elizabeth Sparkle a fading movie star that after being fired by her producer for her age uses a black market serum called The Substance to inject herself with in order to create a "younger, more beautiful, more perfect" version of herself. This movie has a powerful message with all the gore a slasher fan needs. We gave it a 10 out of 10 & agree it was the standout of 2024 horror films. What did you guys think?

The Missing Sodder Children

Christmas Eve, almost 80 years ago, in West Virginia a family suffered a terrible tragedy when a mysterious fire destroyed their home. Most of the family escaped except for five of the nine children. Believing they had perished, by the time the fire department made it there Christmas morning they discovered the more unthinkable: no bodies or bones of the five children were found. Did the children escape, were they kidnapped, trafficked or worse, murdered sometime later? Tonight we discuss that and more in the case of the missing Sodder children.

The Witch's Castle

A true crime AND haunted location episode all in one?! We got a double whammy this Wednesday guys coming right out of the state of Oregon: this is the story of Danford Balch & the Witch's Castle. Balch was the first legal hanging in Portland, Oregon in 1859 for the murder of his daughter Anna's husband. As legend goes, Balch's wife (or Anna, depending on who you ask) placed a Witch's curse on the property & from there the land, which is now a Park, and the mysterious "castle" that was built there sometime later, have been haunted. Is it Anna, her husband, Balch or his wife to blame for the supposed hauntings? Would you dare take a hike to the Witch's Castle?

Astroworld Tragedy

Tonight we talk about Satanic Sacrifice at a concert and no, it didn't happen in the 80s and it wasn't a rock band. Yesterday, November 5th, was the 3 year anniversary of the Astroworld tragedy, the Travis Scott concert in Houston, TX where 10 people died and thousands were injured. Events from that night prompted many people say that demonic energy and imagery was to blame. Was that a conspiracy theory or were those senseless deaths part of something more sinister? Tune in tonight as we give details and perspective from religious experts and scientists about that horrible night at a rap show gone terribly wrong.
