Just Ghoul With It

Episode 14: Paranormal Activity

This week Nikki and Kate watched Paranormal Activity and learned everything there is to know about horror movie budgets. They’re literally experts now. Or they covered it in brief. One of those things, for sure. They also talk about static cameras in found footage style films, moles (measure or animal, who is to say?), and improvisational horror.

Episode 10: Hell House LLC

This week Nikki and Kate celebrated their tenth episode by watching the movie that started their horror chat- Hell House LLC. They talk about subtle scares, diegetic elements in horror, and noping out of a bad situation. Kate also gives expert advice on opening champagne. This is a beefy episode. They had a lot to say.

Episode 09: An American Werewolf in London

This week Nikki and Kate watched An American Werewolf in London (our first patron’s pick episode!) and possibly went feral. We talk about movie magic in the form of award winning practical effects, skeletons with eyeballs, and the blend of comedy and horror. Oh, and if you have any idea what Nikki said when Kate talks about gothic horror or why Nikki said it, please let us know. Neither of us can figure it out.

Episode 08: Ginger Snaps

This week Nikki and Kate watched Ginger Snaps and waxed poetic about tupperware fingers, their adoration for Pamela (#pamelastan #rideordiepamela), and also about the intersection of werewolves and coming of age stories featuring teen girls. At the end of the day, we just really wanna be Pamela’s spooky girls.

Episode 06: Jennifer’s Body

This week Nikki and Kate look at the “box office failure” turned cult classic Jennifer’s Body and explore what happens when the movie advertised doesn’t match up with the movie delivered. They later nonchalantly climb out the window after being refused a tampon. 

See if you can find the part in the episode where Kate was trying to slyly troubleshoot zoom camera issues. It’s super inconspicuous. 

Also, Kate does *not* hate Kristen Stewart. She failed to enunciate that all important d at the end of the word. Kristen Stewart is a gem and must be protected. 

**We talk about sexual assault in this episode. If this is triggering and/or you need to talk to someone about experiences regarding sexual assault, you can call the 24-hour National Sexual Assault Helpline at 1-800-656-4673 **

This week Nikki and Kate watched The Descent and recorded while being haunted by audio ghosts. We also ask for your address. Actual movie related conversations include the multiple endings for the movie, reliable vs. unreliable narrators, and primal screams. 

We committed some audio sins, don’t worry we’re atoning.
