Scare Value Podcast

It's Wednesday the 11th...and you know what that means.  It's time for another visit with our good friend Jason Voorhees.  This time around the Scare Value Boys are watching Jason Goes to Hell...the one where New Line Cinema screws everything up immediately. Even though it's a low tier entry in the series...there's a surprising amount of fun to be had watching along with us. Instructions to watch with us are just a click away.  Or listen without watching...we won't tell anyone. Check out our stuff on https://scarevalue.com

It's the third anniversary of the podcast and the boys are breaking format once again to watch one of their favorite non-horror films.  This year they take on one of the greatest movies ever made...Back to the Future.  Watch along with them as they slowly lose their minds over the Marty/Lorraine situation. Things go off the rails in a way befitting a Scare Value anniversary. Instructions to watch with them are at the top of the episode.  Or just listen without it.  No one will know.

With a new installment of Scream heading to theaters this weekend, the Scare Value Boys are finally ready to tackle the influential original film.  Mark is back to join the fun as Bryan thinks too deeply about every aspect of his favorite movie while Pete struggles to remember the details of a movie that he watched the night before.  You know...the usual.

It's time, once again, for the Scare Value Podcast to honor the best foreign films of the last lunar year in the way that only it can.  Bryan cedes the reigns of the show to our foreign correspondent and tries to cobble together an episode that makes sense in the edit.  A tradition unlike any other.  Who will take home this year's Woody Award?  There's only one way to find out.

It's Wednesday the 11th.  You know what that means!  The Scare Value Boys watch another Friday the 13th movie.  This time Jason takes a cruise to Vancouver!  Apparently that title didn't test well with audiences, so they called it Jason Takes Manhattan instead.  Even though that is a boldface lie.  Join us in a watch-along of Friday the 13th Part VII: Jason Takes Manhattan.   Instructions to watch along are just a click away.  Or listen without watching.  I can't imagine it makes that big of a difference.  At least the way we do it...

The Scare Value Boys revisit a movie they loved thirty years ago...and find they still love it.  We're talking all about Billy Zane's wildly entertaining performance, our love of the brand, and the film's surprisingly important place in horror movie history.  Plus, hopefully, the final disappointing Bills update we ever have to do. https://scarevalue.com

The Scare Value Boys are back and they're talking about 1988's Killer Klowns from Outer Space.  They loved the movie as kids...will it hold up decades later?  Of course it will...it's KILLER KLOWNS FROM OUTER SPACE.  They'll also touch on Sinners' dominant Oscar nomination run, the greatness that is 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple and try to make sense out of the serve the Buffalo Bills through at them after last week's rant.  You know...the usual.

The Scare Value Boys are joined by friend of the podcast Mark to discuss 1988's The Blob.  They have fun with the practical effects and awesome kills...while loving that extra bit of 80s wackiness.  Then, Bryan reads a prepared statement about the state of the Buffalo Bills following their latest disastrous ending.  Come for the destruction...stay for the reckoning.

It's time to put on your tuxedo shirts and whatever the female equivalent of that would be...and join us for the fourth annual Scare Value Awards.  Imaginary statues will be handed out to the best of the best in horror from 2025.  What will take home Best Picture?  Has the Best Final Girl trophy really been locked up all year?  Can an inanimate object be the Best Killer?  All these answers (and seven similar ones) can be found inside.

After the highs of the Nic Cage Jeopardy episode...Mark, Kitty, Pete and Bryan simply couldn't stop talking about various elements of modern pop culture.  Star Wars, Star Trek, Avatar, Stranger Things, Lord of the Rings...nothing is spared their inane chatter.  In an effort to keep the Nicolas Cage birthday celebration down to a reasonable length...all that nonsense is collected here...in this bonus episode.  What a bonus. Check out our stuff on https://scarevalue.com

It's that time of year again...a very special birthday boy is turning 62.  To celebrate Nic Cage's birthday the Scare Value Boys bring Kitty and Mark back to the show for a full game of Nic Cage Jeopardy.  Will Pete's Nic Cage knowledge drive him to victory?  Will Kitty having to listen to him talk about Nic Cage all the time lead her to an upset?  Will Mark's pop culture knowledge include enough Cage to win the day?  One of these things has to happen...click to find out which one! Oh...and because they spent a long time after the game show chatting about complete pop culture nonsense...there will be a bonus episode later this week.  Just so we could keep this thing under two hours.  It got that silly. Check out our stuff on https://scarevalue.com And Happy Birthday, Nicolas Cage!

Celebrate New Year's Eve with the least definitive top ten list around...the Scare Value Top Ten Horror Movies of 2025.  Pet's seen four of them...but it isn't (totally) his fault this time.  We've got some wild indies, fun theatrical releases and a couple of standout movie that feel like both.

The Scare Value Podcast stays in the holiday spirit with a watch-along of the 1984 Joe Dante classic Gremlins.  Kitty joins Pete and Bryan to talk about all the plotlines dropped at the first sign of trouble, unpack the mystery of Billy Peltzer's relationship with a child and discover how Futterman time works.  What better way to spend Christmas?

Having miscounted weeks until Christmas the Scare Value Boys resort to their old standby...the watch-along.  After having so much fun watching a random movie that feels like fall...they decide to check out a movie that feels nothing like winter...2025's Dangerous Animals.  They have the time of their lives.

Ken joins us from Taiwan for the annual After Thanksgiving Mashed Potato Mashup.  We're talking about a bunch of movies we missed this year...with special focus on two of the best:  Sinners and Weapons.  There will be plenty of quick hits on other 2025 movies...and the usual load of nonsense.

Our new annual tradition of giving thanks to an actor for their horror work continues this Thanksgiving Eve with a look at Toni Collette's best horror movies.  We're talking about The Sixth Sense (1999), Fright Night (2011) and, of course, Hereditary (2018).  Three moms.  One Toni Collette.  A lot of thanks.

The Scare Value Boys have an unexpected blast watching this year's killer clown slasher movie Clown in a Cornfield.  Will you enjoy it as much as they did...or was there just a gas leak in the basement?  Cats are falling out of ceilings; bad guys look like Elon Musk and the most obvious unmasking reveal of all time on this week's Scare Value Podcast. Check out our stuff on https://scarevalue.com

Mark returns to the podcast to talk about the 2015 movie The Final Girls.  At least for as long as they can manage before Pete and Bryan pull the discussion off the rails again.  How will Pete deal with the emotional complexity of the story?  Did they really make a movie where Kate Winslet falls in love with Jack Black?  Is Ellis from Die Hard the true hero of that movie?  All this and more in this week's Scare Value Podcast. Check out our stuff on https://scarevalue.com

The Scare Value Boys celebrate Godzilla week with a look back at one of the best kaiju battle movies ever made...Godzilla vs. Destoroyah from 1995.  It's the end of an era for the King of the Monsters...and a first-time watch for Pete.  Will he agree with Bryan's assessment that this is top tier Godzilla?  Or is Bryan just blinded by this movie's love for his favorite character Dr. Daisuke Serizawa?  Join Godzilla, Junior, Destoroyah, Pete and Bryan in our annual Godzilla tradition.
