We’ll drink, we’ll listen, and we’ll see what answers when we call out in the dark.🍷 A Drink with Dionysius — A small-time schemer toasts his luck and finds a warhead at the bottom of the bottle.

A Cornerstone of Horror Cinema!Henrique Couto & Rachael Redolfi cut deep into Sam Raimi’s The Evil Dead (1981)—the raw, relentless, cabin-in-the-woods classic that jump-started a whole splatter language. We unpack how Raimi’s scrappy camera attacks, Tom Sullivan’s gnarly makeup/stop-motion, and Bruce Campbell’s live-wire performance forged a cult juggernaut on a shoestring. We also trace the Michigan-to-Tennessee origin story (yes, that Morristown cabin), why the movie’s fever-dream logic still rattles modern audiences, and how the film’s ratings saga (X → NC-17; many releases unrated) fed its outlaw reputation. Inside this episodePure nightmare mode: Why the 1981 original plays it straight—and meaner—than its sequels, leaning into fever-dream momentum instead of jokey splatter.DIY brutality: Tom Sullivan’s prosthetics and stop-motion meltdown; Raimi’s aggressive camera grammar that makes the cabin feel alive. From Michigan to Morristown: How a Detroit proof-of-concept led to a Tennessee shoot—and the enduring lore around that cabin site. (We discuss the oft-told lightning-strike story and what locals say.) The ratings fight: Festival buzz, an X rating, later NC-17 notes, and why many home releases stayed unrated—fueling the film’s “forbidden” aura.

“Cutting Deep into Horror” dives headfirst into Paul W.S. Anderson’s cult-classic sci-fi horror Event Horizon (1997). Hosts Henrique Couto & Rachael Redolfi unpack how a “haunted house in space” premise, Catholic-guilt undertones, and that infamous “I don’t need eyes to see” line still rattle nerves. We track the film’s bomb-then-cult trajectory, the ‘90s horror landscape post-Scream, and why the movie’s gothic production design and jump scares work because they reveal character, not just because they’re loud.Inside this episodeEvent Horizon as a haunted house in space: gothic corridors, lightning over a gas giant, and experiential terror over pure plot.‘90s context: the post-Scream pivot and where big monster/ghost cycles fit in that moment.Latin distress call (“liberate tutemet ex inferis”) and what it implies about a hellish dimension.Character-first fear: Captain Miller’s zero-G fire memory; Dr. Weir’s grief, guilt, and “no eyes” transformation.The “Baby Bear” airlock sequence and how the movie makes space hazards horrifyingly tactile.CO₂ scrubbers, ticking clocks, and the ship as a possible “immune response” vs. the doorway to literal hell.Space-horror lineage mentioned: Hellraiser vibes; Jason X, Leprechaun 4, Critters 4; plus how Star Trek often dabbled in horror vibes across series.Final act choices: separation charges, sacrifice, and the fake-out rescue ending.Quick nod to the new 4K collector’s edition they watched and why it pops.Where to watch (U.S.)(Verified at time of writing; availability changes often.)Paramount+ — stream with subscription https://www.paramountplus.com/movies/video/WMpyEztvg53KrruaW94ZmQtPsLDdFkOl MGM+ — stream with subscription https://www.mgmplus.com/movie/event-horizon-1997 FuboTV — stream with subscription / free trial https://www.fubo.tv/welcome/program/MV002971960000/event-horizon Philo — stream with subscription / free trial https://www.philo.com/player/show/U2hvdzo2MDg1NDg4OTk2NDg0NzI2NDc JustWatch (aggregator) — quick status snapshot across services https://www.justwatch.com/us/movie/event-horizon-1997 Note: The Roku Channel can surface the movie via premium add-ons like Paramount+ or MGM+ inside Roku; selection varies. 🎧 LISTEN NOW and subscribe for spine-tingling horror stories every week!🎉 Unlock exclusive bonus episodes and support the show on Patreon!👉 WeeklySpooky.com/Join📬 Contact Us / Submit Your Horror Story!Twitter: @WeeklySpookyFacebook: facebook.com/WeeklySpookyEmail: WeeklySpooky@gmail.com🎵 Music by Ray Mattis 👉 Check out Ray’s incredible work here !👨💼 Executive Producers: Rob Fields, Bobbletopia.com🎥 Produced by: Daniel Wilder🌐 Explore more terrifying tales at: WeeklySpooky.com

Summer, 1984—at the height of the Satanic Panic. Ricky is a motor-mouthed teen who wants proof the Devil is listening. In a moonlit patch of woods, a dare turns into a ritual and a killing. What follows is darker: Ricky props the body in a lawn chair with sunglasses, invites classmates to look, and turns terror into spectacle—boombox hissing, insects buzzing, and bravado curdling into dread as word spreads and the cops close in.This isn’t a true-crime retelling; it’s a brutal horror story steeped in Acid King folklore—teen cult swagger, drugs, and a swaggering kid convinced he’s owed infernal fame. The consequences arrive in handcuffs and, at the end, a quiet, awful moment alone in a jail cell. Listener discretion advised for graphic violence, drug use, and suicide.What Ricky Did on his Summer Vacation by Dan Wilder🎧 LISTEN NOW and subscribe for spine-tingling horror stories every week!🎉 Unlock exclusive bonus episodes and support the show on Patreon!👉 WeeklySpooky.com/Join📬 Contact Us / Submit Your Horror Story!Twitter: @WeeklySpookyFacebook: facebook.com/WeeklySpookyEmail: WeeklySpooky@gmail.com🎵 Music by Ray Mattis 👉 Check out Ray’s incredible work here !👨💼 Executive Producers: Rob Fields, Bobbletopia.com🎥 Produced by: Daniel Wilder🌐 Explore more terrifying tales at: WeeklySpooky.com

first story was pretty decent, aside from the outdated "have sons you don't feel ready to have or want" angle.
I first heard of Roanoke from that short lived TV show Freakylinks
loved the 200th episode and the retrospective episode.
love this show
As a trucker myself, this episode is my favorite.
This is one of my all time favorite podcast episodes 👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💗
