Frank de Felitta wrote two of strangest supernatural horror films of the 'boom' period. Jason and Ali get baffled by Audrey Rose (1977) and unsettled by The Entity (1982).

Monkey Around with Death
Osgood Perkins's The Monkey (2025) is a very loose adaptation of a 1980 Stephen King story. King's story takes death very seriously, but Perkins mocks the Grim Reaper. Jason and Ali talk about a very morbid comedy.

Ebola Syndrome
What do you get when you mix a pandemic, murderousness, international travel, pathological horniness, racism and size insecurity? Apparently, a film called Ebola Syndrome (1996).

House Haunting
Presence (2024) is an inventive, uncanny new take on the familiar terrain of the familial ghost story. An upper-middle class American family is haunted by the ghost of its inherent dysfunctionality. Jason and Ali reflect on annoying siblings, teen serial killers, and immersive Steadicam cinematography.
Join your hosts Ali and Jason as they talk everything horror. From the latest movie to the most disgusting Halloween candy, your adventurous hosts delve into what makes horror scary AND fun. Zombies, vampires, killer clowns, hostile houses are all welcome.
