The Chicks are heading back to Hawkins…one last time (well, Volume 1 at least)! In this episode, we dive into Stranger Things Season 5: Volume 1, unpacking the tension, the terror, the heartbreak, and the biggest WTF moments the Duffer Brothers have thrown at us so far. We talk character arcs, returning threats, and all the deliciously nostalgic horror influences that make Stranger Things the phenomenon it is. We fangirl hardcore in this episode! Tangents Include: Sound effects we want to add...
This week, we’re firing up the chainsaw and diving into one of the most influential horror films of all time: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974). Whether you love it, hate it, or simply respect its place in horror history, there’s no denying the cultural impact of Leatherface’s grim, gritty debut. We break down the dinner scene that feels like a fever dream you can’t wake up from, the wild behind-the-scenes stories that make the movie somehow even more unhinged, and why this sun-baked nightm...
Hagazussa

Hagazussa

2025-10-2901:08:06

For our last Timeless Terror episode we explore witches with the German film Hagazussa. Surprisingly this was the director's debut and a student graduation film. This is one story that's hard to separate the folklore from reality which made for an interesting discussion. Tangents include: religion, caffeine, and history. Hagazussa (2017) Director: Lukas Feigelfeld Tawny’s rating: 3.5/5 Miriam’s rating: 3.2/5 Send us a text Support the show All things TCHF: https://linktr.ee/twochi...
Terrifier

Terrifier

2025-10-1501:11:45

In this week’s episode, we’re diving into one of few modern horror slashers — Terrifier. Directed by Damien Leone, this blood-soaked indie became a cult favorite thanks to its sadistic villain, Art the Clown, and its unapologetically brutal approach to slasher horror. Tangents include: The Indifferent Stars Above (a non-fiction book about the Donner Party) and the new Monster: Ed Gein Story Netflix series. This is a pretty catch up heavy episode, so if you want to skip to the movie discussion...
Queen of the Damned (2002)

Queen of the Damned (2002)

2025-10-0301:12:14

Our first October Timeless Terror movie honors the vampire! 🦇 This week, we sink our teeth into one of the most stylish and seductive vampire tales of the early 2000s—Queen of the Damned. 💀 We’re talking everything from that iconic nu-metal soundtrack (hello, early 2000s nostalgia) to Aaliyah’s unforgettable performance as the fierce and mesmerizing vampire queen, Akasha. 🖤 Join us as we break down the visual style, ancient vampire lore, wild plot twists, and, of course, all the gloriously go...
Fréwaka

Fréwaka

2025-09-1801:41:01

This week, we’re stepping into Ireland’s misty folklore with Fréwaka—the first Irish-language horror film, and oh boy, it does not hold back. This isn’t just a spooky story; it’s a raw, unsettling look at grief, guilt, and the shadows of tradition. Join us as we unpack the film’s haunting atmosphere, dreamlike imagery, and the way it weaves Irish cultural roots into horror that lingers long after the credits. So light a candle, keep an eye on the shadows, and get ready for a conversation that...
This week, now screaming: Final Destination Bloodlines (2025)! Death has a brand-new blueprint, and we’re here for it! This week, we dive into Final Destination: Bloodlines—the highly anticipated next entry in the franchise that taught us to fear seatbelts, tanning beds, roller coasters, and literally just being alive. So grab your popcorn, check your surroundings (twice), and join us as we find out if Death’s design still slaps in 2025. Tangents include: Poop cruise, decadent books, pickme g...
Weapons

Weapons

2025-08-2001:46:45

We are stoked to be talking about another Zach Cregger film! Just like an incredible pasta, the longer we marinate on this movie the more we like it! We try to puzzle out why the film's named Weapons, get into the possible themes, and theorize about everyone's favorite new aunt Gladys. Tangents include: Trainwreck Area 51, Final Destination, and stickers. If you have seen Weapons we would love to know what you thought about it! Let us know on social media or YouTube! Weapons (2025) Director:...
Bring Her Back

Bring Her Back

2025-08-0601:37:23

This week we’re diving headfirst into the eerie world of underground Russian occultism with the Philippou brothers’ latest film, Bring Her Back. Known for their breakout hit Talk to Me, the brothers return with another grief-soaked, nerve-shredding horror that has us obsessed. We explore the shared themes of grief, possession, and loss... and ask: are these two films connected in other ways? Tangents include: Netflix's Trainwreck series and psycho-biddy horror. If you have seen Bring He...
Sinners (2025)

Sinners (2025)

2025-07-2401:46:23

This week, we jam through Ryan Coogler’s ambitious vampire blues-horror set in 1932 Mississippi. Sinners isn’t your average blood-sucker flick—it’s a visceral, soulful tale of identity, community, and the cost of cultural exploitation. Its lush visuals, haunting blues score, and powerful performances—especially Michael B. Jordan’s dual turn—make it one memorable ride. Tangents include: Tacotopia, incels, fireflies, Tawny’s Nope-like work event, and how to use ChatGPT to cut back (or quiet) al...
The Ugly Stepsister

The Ugly Stepsister

2025-07-0901:27:53

A bloody Cinderella retelling from the other side of the mirror. This week, we tackle The Ugly Stepsister, Emilie Blichfeldt’s satirical body-horror twist on the Grimm’s Cinderella, told through the eyes of stepsister Elvira. When her widowed mom marries into a wealthier family, tragedy strikes—and the family scrambles to clean up debts. Enter the grand ball, Prince Julian, and Elvira’s desperate bid to become the belle of the ball… at any cost. And by “any cost,” we mean painfully invasive n...

CHEERS YA'LL! It's our 5 year anniversary! In this episode, we dive into 28 Years Later. Join us as we talk about illness vs infection, the way the movie humanizes the infected, and the cultural themes of isolation. And you KNOW we have to talk about that contentious ending...but the future of this franchise looks bright! Tangents include: Miriam becoming a behavioral expert, Tawny's treacherous walk in some wooden sandals, and Japan's next level hygiene. If you have seen 28 Years...
Grafted (2025)

Grafted (2025)

2025-05-2201:31:16

This week, we’re diving into the deeply weird and wildly original world of Grafted, the Shudder original sci-fi body horror that had us both squirming and thinking. Directed by Sasha Rainbow in her feature debut, Grafted follows a brilliant but socially isolated student who inherits her father’s controversial experiments… and let’s just say things get messy. Identity, obsession, grief, and stitched-up science collide in this surreal and emotional horror experience that left us with so many qu...
Longlegs

Longlegs

2025-04-1801:37:28

We're back with our April episode on Longlegs! This movie generated so much buzz and certainly did well at the box office last year, but what in the hell was going on in the movie? We try to parse the plot while constantly getting hung up on metal balls. Both of us agree that the atmosphere of this movie is great, there's a lot of things to like, but ultimately it didn't come together in the execution. Tangents include: Homeschooling and my size Barbie dolls. If you have seen Longlegs we woul...

Happy Death Day

Instead, we get a wholesome love story within a slasher-horror-comedy. And on top of all that, who doesn’t love a good time loop?! Tangents include: Apple Cider Vinegar and Bump Its. If you have seen Happy Death Day we would love to know what you thought about it! Let us know on social media or YouTube! Shoutouts: @africabroo...

For Valentines Day week, we are diving headfirst into Your Monster (2024)—a movie that dares to ask: what if your emotional baggage had claws, fangs, and a serious case of the hots for you? Equal parts horror, romance, and quirky dark fairytale, this film is giving us Beauty and the Beast meets Jennifer’s Body, and we are here for it. Expect lots of laughs and plenty of fun!
