    WE'RE ALL GONNA DIIIIIEEEEEIEIEIEIEEIEIEIEIEIEIEIEIEIEIEIEIEIEIEIEIEIEIEEIEIEIEI

  5. The Diary Of Jane Doe: An Analysis of "The Autopsy of Jane Doe"

    This episode is special because Beth gets to flex her funeral industry knowledge. If you listen for no other reason, make it that one. Also, we make quite a big announcement. Also Also, yes that's a Breaking Benjamin reference. Beth and Pope especially are butt rock queens, so you get references.

  6. Leche Fresca: An Analysis of "Pan's Labyrinth"

    Man. Love the movie, but it's got problems. But the Glasgow Smile scene! Tore up from the floor up, we are.

  7. Macabre Shorts - Which Stigmata?

    So, one thing about us is that we have spent HOURS just chatting about stuff other than the macabre. We're derps, and really silly when we're not trying to, you know, approach a situation seriously. So this idea, tentatively called Macabre Shorts, is really simple. We ask a question, in this case...

  8. Gorier Things Than Victorian England - An Analysis of Jack the Ripper

    Did I just borrow a line from ERB? Yes. Is this the second release that almost never saw the light of day die to tech? Yes. Listener beware, you're in for... distorted audio.

  9. 5 Little Pokes: An Analysis of Stigmata

    I'm not saying that technology, schedules, and everything else in the world conspired against us in getting this episode made... but I'm not sating it didn't.

  10. Serial Screw Up - The Legend of H.H. Holmes

    Holmes is so boring that he made us want to talk about Jack the Ripper. This dude was under suspicion of BEING Jack the Ripper. Funny stuff.

  11. Aspirational Kinkonometry - An Analysis of "Hellraiser"

    We go in just about as deep as Pinhead's hooks to flay you alive with sensually painful content. We will show you such things... about this franchise.

  12. End of Year Review - 2022

    What a year it's been! In this episode, we look back on the last year, but more importantly speculate on the next year. Thank you to everyone who listened, and we look forward to bringing the thunder in 2023. This episode also has a video version. Find it here:...

  13. Merry Chrysler Feat. Devil's Milk

  16. Quick Lit: Fairy Tale, by Stephen King

    The only semi-negative review of this book on the internet? Stephen King is a weird phenomena, because bibliophiles are supposed to just fawn over every book he makes. To his credit, even his shitty books are at least readable, but his greatest books are the stuff of legend. So, with all of that…

  22. Burning Pokemon Cards - Bonus Aside 1

    Little known fact - the crew actually hangs out and talks! After recording the latest episode on the subject of Urban legends, we hung out and talked about our access to media growing up, JK Rowling, Joseph Campbell, and why Morgan hasn't left us a 5-Star yet.

  28. A Boy In His Bear - An Analysis of "Midsommer" (and, by proxy, Ari Aster)

    With our new cast member Elizabeth, we take a look at the unbearable brutality of Midsommer. It's a complex movie, so we bearly scratched the surface, but bear with us as we try to bear the burden of bearing our souls about this film. Did I mention there's a bear in the movie? How to get more…

  29. The Glistening: An Analysis of "The Shining" Series

    In the first podcast we did with our friend Elizabeth (Of Dead Aire Fame, although Dead Aire is unreleased as of now, so can we call it fame?), we go deep in The Shining series, the alternate versions of it, and the surprising potential of a well done adult adaptation. You might notice we call…

  32. Family Matters: An Analysis of Charles Manson

    The Macabre Masters are back from their break and are diving into one of the most well-known killers of all time... Charles Manson. But how can one be considered a serial killer if they didn't even kill many people at all? That's what Pope, Nick, and Noah set out to discuss here on Macabre…

  33. Lessons in Desecration: An Analysis of Ed Gein

    The story of Ed Gein is more tragic than you might think. If video is more your thing, never fear! We have a YouTube Channel, where Nick will be uploading each episode (As well as bonus material) in video format. In these videos, you'll see us chatting about the topic in question, as well as see...

  34. The Cost Of A Discount: An Analysis of Black Friday

    This episode is an odd one. Nick and Pope have a Noah-less chat about Black Friday, and the conversation deviates into some really weird places. If video is more your thing, never fear! We have a YouTube Channel, where Nick will be uploading each episode (As well as bonus material) in video…

  35. I Read The News Today, Oh Boy: An Analysis of Local 58

    We're sorry this is late. There were scheduling issues, and will be avoided going forward. With that out of the way, in this episode, we are reunited and it feels so good. We get together to discuss the YouTube sensation Local 58. What an odd episode this is. If video is more your thing, never...

  36. The Draggin' Dragon: An Analysis of the Legend of the Jersey Devil

    Basically this episode is an excuse to dunk on Jersey at every turn. If you like Bon Jovi, we're not sorry. Well, maybe Nick is. He wasn't on this episode so can't account for our actions. But Pope certainly isn't sorry. If video is more your thing, never fear! We have a YouTube Channel, where…

  37. Pregame: An Analysis of Macabre Masters

    This episode was made in a freeform way to celebrate Nick getting married. Side note: there is some whispering in the background. I don't know why or what it's saying. I did not edit it out. Interpret it for me and I'll give you a prize! I stress that it was not an intentional inclusion.

  38. Point Not So Pleasant: An Analysis Of The Legend Of Mothman

    Like a... certain type of flying bug, the guys at MM are drawn towards the light of talking about Cryptids. In our first episode about a Cryptid, we chat about Mothman. Is he a moth? A bird? A man? A freak of science, or the wishful thinking of a small group of people? We may never know. But that...

  39. Bleed the Heretic: An Analysis of The Witch

    This one hits close to home. The Witch is an instructive film on the dangers of mania - believing something so thoroughly that no other explanation makes sense to you. In this in depth analysis of this movie, we dive into what it means to believe, and whether Satan is real. If video is more your...

  40. You Don't Know The Rules?!: An Analysis of "Scream"

    The trailer for the new Scream movie dropped! Before you see the new movie, review this horror classic with us. We go into the roots of the movie, Wes Craven's legacy, and what Scream meant for horror going forward. If video is more your thing, never fear! We have a YouTube Channel, where Nick…

  41. One, Two, Freddy's Coming For You: An analysis of "Nightmare on Elm Street"

    I wonder if Freddy is good in the kitchen? I mean, he can probably chop veggies with the best, but I don't think he wants to be anywhere near the oven... Freddy Krueger is one of the most famous slashers of all time. Why are we drawn to these types of villains? Is it because he's funny? Is it...

  42. A Girl and Her Pole: An Analysis of "Hereditary"

    Still a better love story than Twilight. In episode two, we tackle a movie that is a paradox of sorts. Critically disliked, Hereditary is a singularly scary movie. But why? Is it the naked people? Decapitation by way of piano wire? The real life use of demonology? Well, at Macabre Masters, we…

  43. You Will Die In Seven Days: An Analysis of "The Ring"

    Welcome to Macabre Masters! For the first episode, we got into the often imitated but never innovated movie The Ring, which Noah and Nick hadn't seen for years, and Pope had never seen. Along the way, we discuss the difference between Japanese and American media, the original source material...
