Handle With Scare: A Horror Podcast

Throughout July we'll be highlighting galeophobia and the fear of sharks. This week the fiends Totemlydrunk and Grindhouse Zombie would rather be anywhere else right now. Strap yourselves in because we have the "pleasure" of discussing what is arguably the worst sequel in cinema history... JAWS: THE REVENGE!  Movie Watch Parties (Tues/Thurs 7:30PM PT on discord) Join our community on Discord: bit.ly/handlewithscare

Throughout July we'll be highlighting galeophobia and the fear of sharks. This week the fiends Totemlydrunk and Grindhouse Zombie head to Queensland for one of the most audaciously specific premises in shark cinema. Bait commits to it with enough formal intelligence to make the case that the supermarket was exactly the right place for this to happen. It's time to see what you do with a shopping cart when the water is rising and something very large is in the next aisle.

Throughout July we'll be highlighting galeophobia and the fear of sharks. This week the fiends Totemlydrunk and Grindhouse Zombie are going past the thermocline, past the point where the light stops, past the layer of cold water that was supposed to be keeping something very large and very prehistoric from becoming our problem. Problem is... it didn't hold. Nothing ever does. Prepare for the full spectacle that is... THE MEG!

Throughout July we'll be highlighting galeophobia and the fear of sharks. This week the fiends Totemlydrunk and Grindhouse Zombie are going to war... both of them. Beast of War is part war movie, part shark movie, and features one of the more inventive (but also comical) warning signs of the impending danger of the great white shark that's circling the water.

Throughout June we'll be highlighting thalassophobia and the fear of deep waters.

Throughout June we'll be highlighting thalassophobia and the fear of deep waters. This week the fiends Totemlydrunk and Grindhouse Zombie are getting low. We're talking crawlspace low, face down in rising floodwater low, and alligator at eye level low for Alexandre Aja's CRAWL. Joining us is Evan from The Kilt and The Redneck Reviews for a film that takes the most minimal possible premise and builds something close to a perfect creature feature out of it. We have a daughter, a father, a hurricane, a flooding crawlspace, and the alligators that came in with the water. The alligator's absence of malice here is more frightening than any amount of monster motivation would have been. Not every threat needs a reason. Sometimes the water rises and the things that live in the water come with it. Kick Watch Parties (Tues/Thurs 7:30PM PT on discord) Join our community on Discord: bit.ly/handlewithscare

Throughout June we'll be highlighting thalassophobia and the fear of deep waters. This week the fiends Totemlydrunk and Grindhouse Zombie are going deeper.

DeepStar Six knows that the abyss is not empty. It also knows who put the people down there without checking. Come find out what they found.

Throughout June we'll be highlighting thalassophobia and the fear of deep waters. This week the fiends Totemlydrunk and Grindhouse Zombie are going underwater, or rather, we're getting pulled into it. We're covering a film that has spent nearly 50 years being dismissed as a Jaws knockoff and deserves considerably better than that. Orca: The Killer Whale is not a film about a shark. It is a film about grief, vendetta, and the specific kind of reckoning that arrives when you destroy something that was capable of loving what you destroyed.

May's phobia is decidophobia and the fear of making decisions. This week the fiends Totemlydrunk and Grindhouse Zombie are dive into Jordan Peele's GET OUT. The horror at the heart of Get Out isn't simply that Chris makes the wrong choices. It's that the choices available to him were never really choices at all. We get into why Get Out is one of the most precisely constructed horror films of the last 20 years and how Peele uses every convention of the genre not as decoration but as an argument.

May's phobia is decidophobia and the fear of making decisions. This week the fiends Totemlydrunk and Grindhouse Zombie are digging into David Guy Levy's Would You Rather, a film that takes one of childhood's most innocent games and transforms it into one of a pointed exploration of class, desperation, and moral compromise. We talk about why the real horror begins long before anyone sits down at Lambrick's dinner table, what Jeffrey Combs' aristocratic sadist reveals about the aestheticization of wealth and power, and why the film's ending is one of the most genuinely devastating conclusions in recent horror memory.  Watch Parties (Tues/Thurs 7:30PM PT on discord) Discord: bit.ly/handlewithscare Watch Totem on Twitch (5x a week - 5PM PT): twitch.tv/ashcroftvt
