It's time to put on your tuxedo shirts and whatever the female equivalent of that would be...and join us for the fourth annual Scare Value Awards. Imaginary statues will be handed out to the best of the best in horror from 2025. What will take home Best Picture? Has the Best Final Girl trophy really been locked up all year? Can an inanimate object be the Best Killer? All these answers (and seven similar ones) can be found inside.

It's that time of year again...a very special birthday boy is turning 62. To celebrate Nic Cage's birthday the Scare Value Boys bring Kitty and Mark back to the show for a full game of Nic Cage Jeopardy. Will Pete's Nic Cage knowledge drive him to victory? Will Kitty having to listen to him talk about Nic Cage all the time lead her to an upset? Will Mark's pop culture knowledge include enough Cage to win the day? One of these things has to happen...click to find out which one!

Oh...and because they spent a long time after the game show chatting about complete pop culture nonsense...there will be a bonus episode later this week. Just so we could keep this thing under two hours. It got that silly.
