The Scare Value Boys try something new! This week Pete and Bryan sit down to talk about all things Halloween. The movie franchise...not the holiday. They endeavor to find a definitive ranking of the long running series. 13 movies...some of the great...some of them fine...some of them so bad they're good...some of them directed by Rob Zombie...one o…

The Scare Value Boys return to Indonesia (really not really this time) to watch the sequel to Satan's Slaves. It's a first time watch for one of them...you can probably guess which one.

The Scare Value Boys are back with something special...a look at the 1990 masterpiece Frankenhooker. As usual...it's a first-time watch for one of them.

With this year's Spooky Season Spectacular postponed for a week the Scare Value boys discuss two 80s horror comedies.

If you remember watching House and House II: The Second Story as a kid...what better way to revisit them then by listening to two middle aged me…

The Scare Value Podcast returns to the Bates Motel to check in on our old friend Norman. That's right...we're doing Psycho II this week. The sequel no one wanted that holds up far better than it has any right to. Instead of taking the easy road and producing a cheap slasher to fit the movies of the time...Psycho II delivers a deep character study..…

By popular demand, Watch-Alaugust becomes Watch-Alember...for one week.

With the rift between the Scare Value Boys threatening the future of the podcast...Pete and Bryan sit down for a little couples therapy on this bonus episode.

Pete and Bryan have spent the week in each other's bodies as the result of an unexpected body swap. What better time could there be to watch 2020's slasher comedy/body swap movie Freaky? Spoiler...they spend more time talking about 2025's Superman and arguing about what they've learned in the last week than discussing the movie they were supposed t…

The Scare Value Podcast heads to Taiwan to wrap up its trip through Asian cinema. It gives Pete the chance to exact revenge for a laundry list of aggravations.

The Scare Value Boys (fake) expedition through Asia continues with a look at 2004's Shutter from Thailand. In this episode we learn that Pete believes in ghosts but not the subtitles he's reading.

The Scare Value Boys' trip to Asia continues in Indonesia for a discussion of Joko Anwar's Satan's Slaves from 2017.

Will Pete be able to overcome his negative Nelly attitude and enjoy the spooky movie? Join us in Indonesia to…

The Scare Value Boys continue their (fake) tour of Asia with a loving look at South Korean masterpiece Train to Busan.

Plus...they attempt to recast the film's lead roles for an American remake. It …

The Scare Value Boys trip to Asia begins in Japan with a discussion of 2017 independent marvel One Cut of the Dead. Pete is being a grump because they "didn't actually go to Japan"...but he loves the movie, nonetheless. Stick around to find out how they find a comparison for this film to Rocky and, of all things, the Jackass franchise. Check out al…

The Scare Value Boys tackle a two-year long issue when they sit down to revisit the 2023 hit movie M3GAN. When they saw the movie together upon release...Pete claimed to like it.

The entire Scare Value Podcast crew joins together (separately) to record a script read through for the 50th anniversary of Jaws. There was a slight hitch in the process...as we discovered the night before that the script from Jaws doesn't exactly match the classic lines and moments from Spielberg's masterpiece. Undaunted, the script was hastily re…

The Scare Value Podcast takes on a bold new direction. Instead of the usual nonsense...they adapt a popular horror movie podcast format for the first time ever.

Kitty joins Pete and Bryan for a discussion about the classic Easter horror/comedy Critters 2. A movie that's a lot of fun and pays off nothing in the appropriate way.

That and absolutely no questions answered in any definitive way on this week's Scare Value…

David Lynch month continues on the Scare Value Podcast with 1986's Blue Velvet. A first time watch for Pete...and an old favorite for Bryan.

All this and (slightly) more on this …
