  • Twilight Film VS Book
    Apr 17 2025

    Why are we covering Twilight, which isn't even horror media? Because its horror ADJACENT OKAY?? Get off my back jeesh! 😤 Anyway, in this episode we take a look at the book written by Stephanie Meyer, it's film adaptation, and even Midnight Sun! You know... the book that's essentially Twilight but written entirely from Edward's perspective? Yeah, it's really a thing. Meyer is pulling a JK Rowling by milking her IP for all it's worth huh?

  • Rosemary's Baby Film VS Book
    Mar 20 2025

    Why are we covering Rosemary's Baby during Woman's History Month? That's a good question uh... but at least we're acknowledging it (unlike Google Calendar). In this episode we dive into the complicated history of this iconic film, but mainly just glaze up Ira Levin. 'Cause his storytelling rules ya know?!? We also discuss the sequel book Son of Rosemary which kinda contradicts the previous statement now that I think about it. Ira, why you gotta do us so dirty???Anyway, we promise to cover books written by women SOON! 👀

    This is just part one of our series on Rosemary's Baby. In the next episode we'll be looking at the 2014 limited series starring Zoe Saldana. She was in something else recently too wasn't she? 🤔

  • Candyman 2021 Film VS 'The Forbidden'
    Feb 20 2025

    *Apologies for audio issues. Sibia's microphone didn't pick up her audio, so I tried to boost it as best I could.

    In the final episode on our series on CANDYMAN, we take a look at the 2021... sequel? Requel? Honestly, we shouldn't even be covering it on the pod but you can thank Tessa for thinking it was a remake (oops). That said, we point out all the references to the OG 1992 Candyman, as well as the short story 'The Forbidden' that started it all. Plus, we dive into the forgotten sequels, 'Farewell the the Flesh' and 'Day of the Dead'. This episode is all about Candyman sequels BABY!!!

  • Candyman 1992 Film VS 'The Forbidden'
    Feb 6 2025

    "Candyman, Candyman, Candyman, Candyman, Candyman!" Ha you read it and now Candyman is gonna haunt you!!!😈Just kidding... or am I? In this episode, we take a look at the iconic 1992 film starring Tony Todd (RIP) and how it compares to the short story that inspired it - The Forbidden written by Clive Barker. Whew, so many horror icons all in one episode, you love to see it!

    In our next episode, we'll be diving into the 2021 Candyman re-quel? Sequel? Who knows, but it makes the other Candyman sequels no longer canon I guess! Which is honestly kinda a good thing...

  • My Friend Dahmer Film VS Comic
    Jan 23 2025

    In this episode we discuss if the author of My Friend Dahmer was actuallyyyy friends with Jeffrey Dahmer (spoiler alert- not really. actually he was lowkey a bully). Anyway, we compare the 2017 film starring Ross Lynch to the comic book written by Derf Backderf (yes that's really his name). I bet you can tell how excited we are to talk about My Friend Dahmer based on this exhilarating caption alone.

  • The Shining Film VS Book
    Jan 9 2025

    We're talking about a film no one has ever talked about before... THE SHINING directed by Stanley Kubrick! We compare this film bro's wet dream to the original Stephen King novel. Which, like, spoiler alert but this film really does AXE a lot of the details that make the book so interesting in the first place. So try shinin' to a character only for them to d*ie anyway because things are about the get... DREADFUL!
