Criterion is getting ready to terrify a whole new generation

So much fun!

I have seen this dummy up close and in person AND I DID NOT LIKE IT NOPE NO THANK YOU

We're back! This week @mbmcandrews.bsky.social and @gaylydreadful.bsky.social chat with @almakatsu.bsky.social about her latest novel Fiend (out tomorrow!) and find out why "The Dummy" episode of The Twilight Zone terrified her growing up! link: pod.fo/e/32ab98

Episode is going to be late by a day or two but it's coming!!

Oh hey! This thing on? Uh, hi! We're not dead. We have five recorded episodes already up our sleeves and it's time to reopen all those wounds, starting with Neil Marshall (!!!!!!) and Janine Pipe. Monday! Until then enjoy our sexy song by Sean Keller and video by Eric Power, both former guests!

Also I just love sharing this music video created by Eric Power, music by Sean Keller, just for our little show. I think it goes together beautifully.

I got to talk to Neil Marshall. I got to ask him about the UK/US endings of The Descent. We got to spend a little of time on his Scarred for Life pick. I'm mad I forgot to talk to him about how much I love doomsday. But dang. I pinch myself moments like this.

Hey our mental health hiatus is almost over. And we've got some doozies hitting in September. Bucket list guests for sure.

Got to chat with one of my favorite horror authors writing today and we're scheduled to chat with the director of one of my favorite movies. @scarredpodcast.bsky.social is kind of on a mini hiatus but we'll have some episodes heading your way (including both of these) in between our full comeback.

Hey guys. Terry here. I had kind of a rough father's day. It went fine, mostly, but then took some turns and long story short had to take care of some things. Everyone's okay but I'm having a rough night so we are probably going to postpone tomorrow's episode a week. Sorry friends.

I will always talk Alien and my first experience with it, but Paul's story about his first watch takes the cake. Might be the best Scarred for Life experience.

Today @mbmcandrews.bsky.social and @gaylydreadful.bsky.social chat with @pauletheredge.bsky.social about his latest movie The Other as well as touch on the turning-20 Hellbent before finding out why Alien gave him long-running nightmares growing up! Link: pod.fo/e/2e209c

With the announcement of #ResidentEvil 9 and Maggie Robertson showing up at #SummerGameFest, you should go back to our episode and interview with Maggie. If you ever wanted to know what movie scared Lady Dimitrescu herself as a child, now's the time! Link: pod.fo/e/10f751

I tried to figure out the moral and have so many questions about the snake oil salesmen and why the townsfolk hate Pete. We laughed a lot discussing this wild movie.

This week @mbmcandrews.bsky.social and @gaylydreadful.bsky.social chat with David Joseph Craig and Brian Crano about their queer dark comedy I Don't Understand You, their horror history and why Pete's Dragon terrified David growing up. We have lots of questions about Pete's Dragon. pod.fo/e/2ddf9d

Sorry we didn't have an episode last week. Technical issues. But tomorrow...

😭😭😭🥰🥰🥰🥰

Happy birthday to @mbmcandrews.bsky.social, an amazing person, kick-ass filmmaker, and a welcoming, tolerant co-host of dorks who love movies about space porcupines. Have an awesome day, Mary Beth!

Happy birthday to my fav found footage fanatic, horror writing warrior, podcasting powerhouse, and enigmatic editor-in-chief! May it be an awesome one and be the start of an unreal year for you @mbmcandrews.bsky.social! (From when we talked Poltergeist III 👻 podcasts.apple.com/ie/podcast/s...)

Everyone should go wish my bestie and podcast host @mbmcandrews.bsky.social a very happy birthday. Maybe go leave a review/5 star rating on the podcast and read some Dread Central articles? podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s...

If you're looking for a movie to watch this weekend, check out The Surrender on @shudder.com and then listen to our interview with Julia Max, the writer/director! We chat about the movie and why Death Becomes Her terrified her growing up!

This week we chatted with Julia Max, the writer/director of The Surrender, playing Friday on @shudder.com! We chatted about working with iconic actresses, the personal inspiration for the film and why the queer camp classic Death Becomes Her terrified her growing up! Link: pod.fo/e/2d72d0

We were supposed to record @scarredpodcast.bsky.social Little Cuts tonight. Was going to send out the link to watch live. But I ended up leaving work at lunch time sick and without a voice. 🫠

Podcasts I listened to while stitching sequins/machine sewing (in no particular order): @girlthatsscary.bsky.social @scarredpodcast.bsky.social @thisendsatprom.bsky.social A Funny Feeling Why Won’t You Date Me? (Both of those @headgum.com I believe) @thejimharold.bsky.social’s Campfire

I had an absolute blast chatting about that sad little baby Unico and his horrifying adventures on @scarredpodcast.bsky.social woth @mbmcandrews.bsky.social and @gaylydreadful.bsky.social!

I’m so glad this movie is real, because for a while I thought maybe I’d made Unico up. Seriously. Scarred for life.

This week @mbmcandrews.bsky.social and @gaylydreadful.bsky.social chat with @auroragorealis.bsky.social about her movie For Sale By Exorcist and then find out why Unico in the Island of Magic terrified her growing up. For those who haven't seen it, this movie is wild! Link: pod.fo/e/2ca996

Listening to this podcast now. Like the guests I saw the films when I was young and got them stuck in my head for years but did not know the title. I only found the title through looking up Osamu Tezukas work. My uncle found a bootleg at a convention right after for me. A dark fairy tale.

I lost track of time. Today at midnight is the latest you can vote for the Rondo Awards. @scarredpodcast.bsky.social has been nominated. Please email [email protected]/ your nominations, Scarred for Life Podcast for 19) Best Podcast rondoaward.com/rondoaward.c...

Thanks for your patience the last two weeks of no episodes. I (Terry) am feeling much better today and tomorrow's episode with @auroragorealis.bsky.social is so much fun. So check out For Sale by Exorcist and, if you haven't watched it, go check out Unico in the Island of Magic and be ready!

Sorry everyone but we're probably going to miss this week's episode. Half of us are in Germany, the other half can barely hear because of fluid buildup and an ear infection. And the headaches... basically, Terry is all sorts of sick. Still.

Pretty much slept all day. Feeling like crap. Dr appointment tomorrow it is. Unfortunately I couldn't edit tomorrow's @scarredpodcast.bsky.social episode. I'll try to get it up this week but I am pretty much effed up health wise right now. Thinking RSV.

This is a must listen! 🔥 Mind Body Spirit rules and the directors are awesome 🥰

Thank you @unnamedfootage.bsky.social for having Distort, to the crowd for such a great reception, and to @scarredpodcast.bsky.social for introing and giving away some of our new Blu-Rays (get em at weirdprettypictures.com). You can catch Distort NOW on @watchfoundtv.bsky.social Enjoy the final day!

Watching #TheStudio since @gaylydreadful.bsky.social suggested it on @scarredpodcast.bsky.social and I’m digging it! Giving Babylon vibes! Also #AppleTV advertise with the pod!!!!

For everyone sad that @unnamedfootage.bsky.social is over, we dropped a new episode with the directors of last year's UFF hit Mind Body Spirit. We chat about their yoga-horror found footage and get retraumatized by The Brave Little Toaster. Lots of buried kindertrauma here! Link: pod.fo/e/2c06b5

Folks catching DISTORT at @unnamedfootage.bsky.social will be in with a chance to snag one of a very small amount of physical copies of the film before it goes on general release! Thanks to @scarredpodcast.bsky.social ! Big Screen Premiere this Saturday!!!

It all kicks off today!! And DISTORT gets its big screen premiere on Sat complete with an intro by our friends @mbmcandrews.bsky.social & @gaylydreadful.bsky.social of @scarredpodcast.bsky.social and some extra goodies thrown in for some of the lucky in attendance! Enjoy @unnamedfootage.bsky.social!

Don't miss this conversation. It was recorded while I was dealing with a freak blizzard and power outages but damnit we made it happen. And I'm glad we did because this ranks high as one of my favorite Scarred for Life recordings.

This week we chat with John Harrison, a legend in horror cinema. From working with George Romero, composing scores and directing Tales from the Darkside (series and movie) to his work on Creepshow, John has done a lot. We find out why The Haunting terrified him growing up Link: pod.fo/e/2bd1ee

What a dream recording. If ten year old Terry knew he'd one day talk to the director of one of his favorite movies... well, he probably wouldn't believe it. Find out Monday what scared the man who scared @laptoplasane.bsky.social growing up.

We couldn't record Little Cuts this week because Terry was dealing with a blizzard and power outage. Right in the middle of the blizzard, though, we chatted with the legendary John Harrison. It's not often we get a guest whose movie was its own Scarred for Life episode. Coming Monday.

This week we chat with Mark Anthony Green, the writer/director of Opus! We chat about working with icons like Nile Rodgers, The-Dream and John Malkovich and more before learning about Mark Anthony's horror history and why Michael Jackson's Thriller terrified him growing up! Link: pod.fo/e/2b96ab

Also I'm so excited for you all to hear Monday's episode. Mark Anthony Green (Opus) was a generous and lovely guest. An utter delight. I wish him all the success.

Happy Friday! On Little Cuts we're talking Novocaine, The Parenting, SXSW and more! pod.fo/e/2b86d5

If you know me, I HAD to ask about my favorite moment from Significant Other. And Dan and Bobby have a surprising and deadly story for how it came about. I also get candid about my original thoughts on Hellraiser. 😅

This week @gaylydreadful.bsky.social and @mbmcandrews.bsky.social chat with Dan Berk and Robert Olsen, the filmmakers behind Villains, Significant Other and the upcoming Novocaine! We chat about inspirations, that moment from Significant Other and revisit Hellraiser! Link: pod.fo/e/2b6a63
