    Our final week of Studio Ghibli reviews goes out with a bang as we review My Neighbor Totoro, the darling tale of two isolated girls in post-war Japan who suffer from delusions of a giant cat-bunny with magical powers.

  3. Episode 62-Kiki’s Delivery Service

    Our third Studio Ghibli review is flying high with Kiki’s Delivery Service, a heartwarming tale about a teenage witch who invents Amazon in the 1950s.

    After a brief detour, we’re heading back to Japan with some more Studio Ghibli goodness! Princess Mononoke is our flick of the week and we’ve got to marvel at the lack of any Princess Mononoke.

    We’re taking a break from our Studio Ghibli reviews to check out the new addition to the Conjuringverse, The Conjuring 3: The Devil Made Me Do It.

  6. Episode 59-Spirited Away

    We’re showing love this week to our favorite animated director, Hayao Miyazaki. Sure, he’s not exactly known for his slasher films, but it’s our show and we wanted an excuse to watch Spirited Away. It was the highest-grossing film in Japan for 20 years for a reason. Why? Listen to our show to…

    We’re bone-deep into May the 4th Movie of a Franchise with Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers. A first of the show, neither Katy nor Nik has seen this movie! Will it blow their minds?

  11. Episode 54-The Witches

    This is a tough one, folks. We…we just don’t know what to say about The Witches. Just know that Katy From The Crypt loves you very much. The fact that we watched this so you didn’t have to is testament enough.

  12. Episode 53-The Stylist

    We’re serving up bite-sized bits of terror for you and you’re little ones. SHORTS! We love these free, spine-tingling nuggets and review some of our favorite horror shorts from the world of YouTube and Arrow.

  13. Episode 52-The Turning

    This week we’re talking about iced coffee and positive vibes! And somewhere we also fit in a review of The Turning. Nik gives it a “meh” and Katy Bug gives it a “yeah”. Is it good? Is it not? YOU decide!

  18. Episode 47-Host

    We’ve risen from the dead! Katy Bug and Nik are back and this time they’re talking about the Shudder exclusive, Host. The movie was so scary that Nik never even saw the monster, he was too busy hiding his face. Katy Bug gives it an 8 out of 10 stuffed horses.

  19. Episode 46-The Final Episode

    Hi, folks! Uh, this is our last episode. SURPRISE! Yup, we’re taking a break. Maybe we’ll come back, maybe we won’t, but like any good horror franchise, we never die. Nik is flying solo on this episode, discussing how the end came, why, and what the future may hold.

  20. Episode 45-Weird Fiction

  21. Episode 44-Insidious 2

    Dear, sweet Jesus. We have to review another Insidious film. We don’t really know what to say, this flick is a bore. We’re bored talking about it. We’re bored writing this description about it. If that doesn’t make you want to listen to our show,

  22. Episode 43-Happy Death Day

    This week we’re having some fun with the light-hearted murderfest, Happy Death Day! Join us as we talk about this Groundhog’s Day meets Scream flick and what life would be like living the same day over and over again!

  24. Episode 41-Insidious

    This week we’re dipping our toe into the Insidious franchise. With another James Wan flick under our belt, Colby decided to sit in so all three of us could talk about how boring this movie is. Actually, we talk about The Twilight Zone, cooking,

  25. Episode 40-The Cloverfield Paradox

    We’re wrapping up our three week study of the Cloverfield series. Unfortunately, we had to end on this stinker of a flick. I know we’re supposed to hype our show, but the first half of this episode is as dull as the movie. Yikes!

  26. Episode 39-10 Cloverfield Lane

    We’re riding high on that sweet, sweet Cloverfield! This week we’re reviewing 10 Cloverfield Lane…sort of. The kids are running the show today while Daddy steps back, at least for a while. Colby is fired on air! Listen to the drama! The tension!

  29. Episode 36-It

    There is much rejoicing in the land! The children have finally watched the new version of IT. And now they want to talk about it with you. Hang out with us as we talk about clowns, kids, and lots of teeth. I give this movie a hard time,

  30. Episode 35-The Ritual

    Why watch Deliverance, The Blair Witch Project, and The Ruins separately when you can watch all three at once! The Ritual is a pretty darn good UK flick that doesn’t stray too far from its source material, until the end, that is.

  31. Episode 34-Before I Wake

    The inmates are running the asylum! This week we’ve got Colby from Nearly Neurotypical sitting in with Katy Bug to talk about the Netflix flick, Before I Wake. For Colby, this movie was an emotional gut punch. For Katy, it was all right.

  32. Episode 33-Frightmare

    For our final instalment of Flashback January, we’re jumping back to 1975 to watch Pete Walker’s British ::cough:: masterpiece, Frightmare. Nik saw this when he was 6 years old? Does it hold up? Is it frightening? Probably not!

    Travel back to Katy Bug’s early childhood 4 years ago to age 5! Take a rest and listen to us chat about Killer Klowns, how great the FX are, and of course, silly straws! Katy Bug also pimps out her Girl Scout cookies and I mistakenly call this episode …

  34. Episode 31-Hell Night

    Pack your bags, we’re going on a trip down memory lane! This week we’re talking Hell Night, a 1981 slasher flick starring the lovely Linda Blair. This movie is near and dear to Nik’s heart. What does Katy Bug think of it? Listen and find out….

  35. Episode 30-Gremlins 2

    Happy New Years! This week, Nik is doing all the heavy lifting as we talk about Gremlins 2, a movie so forgettable that Katy Bug literally had no memory of seeing it. We actually had more fun talking about Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.

  36. Episode 29-Year End Review

    Say to goodbye to 2017 Katy From The Crypt style by listening to us talk about stuff! Got nothing better to do? Neither do we, so we’re talking about our favorite flick of the year. We’re also talking about biggest disappointments. Oh!

  37. Episode 28-Krampus

    Christmas is here! Are we talking about homeless babies? No! We’re talking about Germanic demons! Krampus is calling and we’re accepting the charges. That doesn’t make any sense, but we love this movie so much, we don’t care.

  38. Episode 27-Gremlins

    Oops! It’s December! rolls along with this tribute to screw-ups, Gremlins! If only Corey Feldman didn’t spill the water! Listen as two sick hosts cough their way through another stunning episode! Katy Bug yawns! Nik talks about grilling hamburgers!

  40. Episode 25-The Boy

    Another day, another doll. We fly to England for this porcelain nightmare! The Boy has all the makings of a classic thriller but none of the follow through. Listen as Katy Bug and dad chat up Thanksgiving, The Lord of the Rings, Rambo, hair care,

  41. Episode 24-Child’s Play

    Don’t trust that doll! It wants to kill you! Or at the very least, ruin your credit score! This week we’re all about Chucky and killer dolls. Katy Bug talks about her American Girl doll, Molly. Nik shares a story of the first time he watched a horror m…

  42. Episode 23-Aliens

    The 80’s are back and scarier than ever! Katy Bug watches Aliens for the first time and Nik couldn’t be more proud. As an apology for our lackluster Alien episode, we bring down the thunder with our exciting Aliens review!

  43. Episode 22-Signs

    Our M. Night lovefest kicks off with a breakdown of Halloween. What did Katy Bug dress as? How did the yard decorating go? All these questions and more will be answered here! Also, Nik and Katy Bug tell their favorite scenes from Signs.

  44. Episode 21-Trick R Treat

    Our Halloween Spooktacular is in full terror mode! First, welcome our listeners in Brazil and Lebanon. Then, choke down some candy corn while you listen to our chat about Trick R’ Treat. Tonight, we’ve got it all! We talk murder! We talk spirits!

    We launch into outer space for this horror classic. We talk about a lot of things that neither of us can remember…oh yeah, Alien! A kind of dull first half finishes strong when the alien get to killin’. Katy Bug is very distracted and Nik is losing his…

  47. Episode 18-Annabelle

    Your dolls want to kill you! Or at least steal your soul. This week we’re watching Annabelle; a pretty good horror movie with a much better sequel/prequel. Listen as we talk about making friends with other podcasts!

  48. Episode 17-The Shining

    Our final Stephen King Tribute Month tribute, The Shining! Many people are fond of this obscure, often unheard of flick by a little known, indie director named Stanly Kubrick. And we’re no exception. We’re talking haunted hotels, beard oil,

  49. Episode 16-Children of the Corn

    On this installment of Stephen King Tribute Month, we take a beating by a real snooze-fest. Witness as children listen to rock n’ roll records! Shiver as adults aimlessly search empty rooms! This movie is so dull that Katy Bug almost fell asleep record…

  50. Episode 15-Pet Sematary

    Hide your cats because this week we’re reviewing the Stephen King classic, Pet Sematary. Or, at least the Stephen King classic film adaptation of Pet Sematary. Listen as Katy Bug tries to talk and eat at the same time!
