    This week I give horror movie recs for Season One episode Space. I talk about the face on Mars (and my theory), space ghosts (not the cartoon one), possessions, sabotage & astronauts in situations that go very badly.

    Ice with Steve Mowry

    This week I am joined by Comic Book Bears & Bear Cave of Horror host Steve Mowry to discuss season one episode Ice. We talk about "The Thing" of it all, paranoia, and one of my favorite horror tropes: "snowed in!"So, don't trust anyone and DO NOT drink that bottle of vodka you found in a sunken soviet space station!!!

    The Jersey Devil

    In this episode I give horror movie recommendations based on X-Files season 1 episode 5: The Jersey Devil. I also talk about the urban legend of the Jersey Devil and the history of how it changed over the years. Here is a link to an article on reddit that I mention & found very helpful & interesting:https://www.reddit.com/r/Cryptozoology/comments/1ix4iec/bigfoot_vs_the_jersey_devil/Also a note/correction:I mentioned that The Last Broadcast came out the same year as The Blair Witch Project but it was actually released in October of 1998 & Blair Witch came out July of 1999. My bad.

    Squeeze with Derek B, Gayle

    Derek B. Gayle from The Glitterjaw Collective joins me to talk about S01E03: Squeeze. We'll give some recommendations for horror movies that fit the vibes of the series' first monster of the week, Tooms!As promised: I did look more into the etymology of PHrogging VS. Frogging and there doesn't seem to be a clear or consistent reason it is spelled with a PH but the spelling of frog as phrog does seem to have started as slang for a frog that is better than a frog so should be spelled phrog (or a frog that is sad & therefore must be a phrog?). I could not find any clear path from that spelling to it being used as a term for someone that lives in someone else's space without them knowing but you can have a lot of fun looking at the definitions on Urban Dictionary: https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=phrogThanks for listening!
