What is the difference between Spooky and Scary? It might seem like a distinction without a difference, but Lucas and Joe beg to differ.

This legendary BBC1 Halloween night program is claimed to have traumatized a nation. Therefore it's a fitting conclusion to this year's 31 Days of Horror Challenge. Twenty-three years later, is it still effective?

Pulse (originally called Kairo in Japan) is one of the most beloved entries of the early 2000s J-Horror period. Somehow, Lucas can't remember if he has seen it or not. This is an episode of discovery for everyone involved!

A quirky bit of Roger Corman-ite Sci-Fi Horror like this sounds great on paper...but how well does it work in practice?

It's always good to get back to the roots of your genre. And at Fright Lab HQ, there is no classic Horror actor more beloved than Vincent Price. And of his early cinematic output there are few movies more beloved than House On Haunted Hill.

Demián Rugna made waves in 2023 with Where Evil Lurks. Sadly, people seemed to have forgotten about Terrified. This movie is spooky and extremely dark, but does it live up to it's title?

It's good to get outside your comfort zone, or at least that's what Lucas' therapist says. As a result, he's decided to watch a Horror film aimed at the teen and young adult crowd. Is it any good? Is Horror important for kids? And how does it compare to the Horror of his childhood?

It wouldn't be October without a rewatch of John Carpenter's classic Halloween. This seminal slasher has become part of the historical canon of Horror. In this episode we are going to finally the all-important question: Why?

Shiraiishi Koji's Noroi: The Curse is one of the best examples of the early J-Horror Boom that occurred in the United States. Does it still have the same power? Lucas is also thinking about the role of culture in Horror and NoroI is a great in-road into that discussion.

The official podcast of comedian Joe Rogan.
There are celebrity interviews, and there are life-changing conversations. On Question Everything, you get both. Journalist Danielle Robay has a rare gift: she makes people feel safe + seen enough to tell the truth. Every week, she draws out the stories the world's most fascinating people rarely get to tell– the heartbreaks, the risks, the controversies, the beliefs they had to unlearn to become who they are and every now and then, their thoughts on the Bravoverse. You'll come for their story. You'll leave rethinking your own. -------- Danielle is also the creator of the bestselling QUESTION EVERYTHING card game series, which has sparked connection in thousands of living rooms around the world, and the co-executive producer and host of Bookmarked by Reese's Book Club, alongside Reese Witherspoon. Dubbed "The Queen of Questions," she brings both heart and rigor to every conversation — a background in political science, a Gloria Steinem Fellowship, and a mentorship under Larry King, whose legacy of curiosity and connection she's carried forward across more than 8,000 hours of interviews with icons from Taylor Swift to Malala Yousafzai.
