About This Podcast
What if you could get a front row seat on a journey through the best and worst horror movies of the past half-century, all rated on Rotten Tomatoes? Brace yourself for an eerie tour with your hosts, Chad Campbell, Mike Carron, and Sam Schreiner, as they dissect each film with a surgeon's precision and a fan's passion. Our story began on a mundane work day, when two colleagues, Chad and Mike, decided to start a podcast centered on their shared love for horror films. The search for a genre was a winding, convoluted exploration of possibilities, before we arrived at the chilling idea of horror films.
Our journey didn’t stop there. We had to figure out where to begin, how to categorize each film, and the scale to use for our rating system. We landed on a year-by-year review of the best and the worst films, starting from 1970 - the dawn of modern horror. Our shows come packed with a variety of categories like First Impressions, Tropes Hall of Shame, One-liners, and more. We also rate each film on a watchability scale, advising if it's worth your precious time. Join us as we sometimes agree, and other times disagree with Rotten Tomatoes' ratings. So, fasten your seat belts, it's going to be a spooky ride!

S4E9 Ep. 133: Alejandro Amenábar's "The Others" (2001)
A single slammed door shouldn’t feel like a jump scare you carry for hours, but that’s the magic trick The Others (2001) keeps pulling. We pour a brutally strong “Ghost Sip,” then head back into…
S4E8 Ep. 132: Victor Salva's "Jeepers Creepers" (2001)

S4E7 Ep. 131: Guy Magar's "Children of the Corn: Revelation" (2001)
A horror sequel can be messy, cheap, and even ridiculous and still be a good time. Children of the Corn: Revelation somehow misses that entire lane, and we felt every minute of its 82-minute runtime.…
S4E6 Ep. 130: Guillermo del Toro's "The Devil’s Backbone" (2001)
A ghost in a basement pool is scary, sure, but the real question we can’t stop asking is simpler: does The Devil’s Backbone even feel like a horror movie? We sit down with Guillermo del Toro’s 2001…
S4E5 Ep. 129: Walter Klenhard's "Disappearance" (2002)
A desert road trip takes one wrong turn and suddenly the town you’re looking for “doesn’t exist.” We’re reviewing Disappearance (2002), Walter Klenhard’s made-for-TV horror thriller that a listener…
S4E4 Ep. 128: Rob Spera's "Leprechaun in the Hood" (2000)
A listener suggested Leprechaun In The Hood, and we walked straight into the trap. What sounds like a goofy horror comedy premise turns into a movie we can barely sit through, and that tension…
S4E3 Ep. 127: Tom Gormican's "Anaconda" (2025)
Anaconda (2025) dares you to answer a simple question: if your childhood favorite movie was a giant snake thriller, would you really remake it in the Amazon with your friends? We take that absurd…
S4E2 Ep. 126: Chuck Russell's "Bless the Child" (2000)
A horror movie with a 4% Rotten Tomatoes score always raises the same question: is it secretly underrated, or is it a cautionary tale? We hit play on Bless the Child (2000) and quickly find ourselves…
S4E1 Ep. 125: John Fawcett's "Ginger Snaps" (2000)
A redheaded teen named Ginger gets her first period the same night something in the dark takes a bite out of her, and the movie never lets you pretend that’s just a coincidence. We’re Sam, Chad, and…
S3E48 Ep. 124: Nia DaCosta’s "28 Years Later: The Bone Temple" (2025)
They skinned the “t-shirt,” called it charity, and somehow still found time for a hypnotic dance montage. We’re Chad, Mike, and Sam, and we’re back on Screams and Streams with a full-spoiler horror…
S3E47 Ep. 123: Rob Reiner's "Misery" (1990)
The scariest villains do not need a mask, they just need the keys to the door. We’re closing out the 1990s run by circling back to Rob Reiner’s Misery (1990), the Stephen King adaptation that turns a…
S3E46 Ep. 122: Wes Craven's "The People Under the Stairs" (1991)
A booby-trapped mansion, a feral basement, and “parents” who weaponize piety—Wes Craven’s The People Under The Stairs is weirder, funnier, and meaner than you remember. We pull the floorboards up on…
S3E46 Ep. 121: Brian Yuzna's "Bride of Re-Animator" (1990)
A glowing syringe, a beating heart, and a basement full of bad ideas. We crack open Bride of Re-Animator and ask the question that haunts every cult sequel: does the shock-and-laugh formula still…
S3E45 Ep. 120: '90-'99 A Decade of Horror
Think you remember 90s horror as wall-to-wall bangers? We put that memory on trial. After watching and rating 27 films from the decade, we map the real terrain: a handful of genre-defining…
S3E44 Ep. 119: Peter Hyam's "End of Days" (1999)
Midnight is ticking down, Y2K is humming in the background, and a demon in a suit thinks New York owes him a date. We pour a Devil’s Margarita and dive headfirst into End of Days, the late-90s mashup…
S3E43 Ep. 118: M. Night Shyamalan's "The Sixth Sense" (1999)
A whispered line changed movie history—but why does it still hit so hard? We dive back into The Sixth Sense and trace the artistry that keeps the fear alive: the red visual motif, breath in the cold,…
S3E42 Ep. 117: Jan de Bont's "The Haunting" (1999)
Fear should crawl under your skin, not shout in your face—so why does a grand, gorgeous mansion feel so empty of real suspense? We dive into The Haunting (1999) with clear eyes and full receipts,…
S3E41 Ep. 116: William Malone's "House On Haunted Hill" (1999)
A millionaire promises $1 million to anyone who survives a night in a shuttered asylum, and our panel dives headfirst into whether House on Haunted Hill (1999) deserves its 31% reputation—or a little…
S3E40 Ep. 115: Peter Medak's "Species II" (1998)
