Osgood Perkins has been killing it lately, so we thought we'd go back and revisit his first film:

THE BLACKCOAT'S DAUGHTER

A stark, bleak, and sometimes challenging movie that Jess had been harassing Glenn to watch for years, so you KNOW we had stuff to say about it. Also, we take a slightly different approach to our podcast format.

And we get pretty wild along the way. Jess informs us what percentage of sheep are gay. We live up to the stereotype of Americans and geographical knowledge. Glenn gets unreasonably angry at the Stranger Things finale. We actually get into politics and the current situation in the US, and we compare and contrast Osgood Perkins with David Lynch. All of this with a new format focusing much more on how we feel about a film and dialing back what happens in the film. All on this wild episode of STREAMING SCREAMS!

Here's a bonus clip of Glenn and Jess discussing music, particularly new music. This was cut from our discussion of The Signal.

We thought it was a fun clip, but ran longer than our usual diversions and didn't fit the rest of the episode, but it's still a fun chat and we thought you should have the option to hear it!

We're back, baby! And to ring in the new year, we've pulled out an old gem from 2007:

THE SIGNAL

Featuring a story that changes perspectives and tones as well as writer/directors with each act, this one is both weird and divisive. So how do WE feel about this mid-00s oddity? Pop open the bubbly and come find out as we dive into mid-00s madness!

In 2007, one of the greatest fake movie trailers ever hit the big screen as part of the Grindhouse double feature. In 2023, Eli Roth finally made good on his promise to make the movie to go along with the trailer, and so with fall in full swing, we sit down for:

THANKSGIVING

On this day we give thanks for horror and tackle the tough questions: Does the film live up to the promise of the original trailer? What happens when a local store owner’s greed gets people killed? Do you prefer light meat or dark meat?

Along the way we’ll discuss righteous anger, ghosting your friends, the differences between the original grindhouse trailer and we’ll even start the programming off doing what everyone hates doing at Thanksgiving, but ends up doing anyway, talking politics.

Please note, we’ll be taking December off for the Holidays, so this will be our final episode of the year. We’ll be back in January with fresh horrors! We hope you have some bloody good holidays!

After the marathon that was 2025's Spooky Season Super Scary Screamtacular, it is time to relax with a night of binging horror on Youtube. Today we've got a six pack of independent short films:

Milk & Serial

Laura Hasn't Slept

Portrait of God

The Chair

Here is a link to our YouTube playlist for these 6 films:

HAPPY HALLOWEEN CREEPS!

The season comes to a close on this, the greatest day of the year. And we, here at streaming screams are dishing out tricks and treats as we close out the season!

First we start with the cult classic about the most Halloween town ever to Halloween on Halloween, with serial killers, werewolves, revenge-driven zombies, and the spirit of Samhain himself, Sam! This is a personal favorite of Glenn’s and the very definition of a cult classic:

Trick ‘r Treat

Then, we join an angsty teen metal-head as his quest for revenge against his bullies leads him to become the pawn of his devil-worshiping heavy metal rock idol hellbent on revenge against their mutual high school. Featuring a wonderful satirical performance by the pioneer of heavy metal, the Prince of Darkness himself, the immortal Ozzy Osbourne! We’ll raise the horns for:

Trick or Treat

Along the way we’ll talk about theater mishaps, being a better person, John Carpenter, how serial killers survive, awesome Halloween festival towns, teen angst, the singer from Flogging Molly, and the Satanic Panic.

So light up your jack-o-lantern, grab some candy, crank up the Black Sabbath and throw up those horns because we're going trick or treating on on this celebratory episode of STREAMING SCREAMS!

It was the most hated horror movie of 1982. It followed in the footsteps of the babysitter murders. It stalked right behind the infamous Michael Myers. It has gathered a significant cult following, yet still remains divisive to this day. It is

HALLOWEEN III: SEASON OF THE WITCH

Join us as we take a look at a movie that has a unique and original premise, but was disastrously mishandled when it was saddled with carrying the legacy of a legendary and revolutionary franchise. We’ll give some fun behind the scenes information, discuss the womanizing and alcoholic qualities of our hero, the movie’s uniqueness, the manufacturing of the masks, and the raw, animal magnetism of Tom Atkins. We also talk about Burning Man (which we unhelpfully don’t mention the name of), the trope of hating your spouse, victim identification, flirting at work and company towns.

Spooky season is here, and so is our second annual Screamtacular! In this first installment, we enter spooky season through the cornfields to find a killer clown stalking its prey, the youth of a small town fallen on hard times in:

Clown in a Cornfield

Find out what happens when generational tensions get out of hand with a killer clown on the loose, when cat videos and creepypastas collide with old-fashioned sensibilities, when the corn syrup runs dry and the clown’s bloodlust rises!

Along the way we’ll talk Children of the Corn, The Dark Tower, The Shining, bathroom destruction, book vs movie, and whether or not kids today actually COULD use a rotary phone! So get lost in the corn with us as we begin the countdown to Halloween in this episode of Streaming Screams!
