Nightmares on Tap
Nightmares on Tap Horror. Beer. Banter. Pour a pint, dim the lights, and settle in: Brian and Megan are exploring horror cinema one craft beer at a time. Brian’s got the facts—behind-the-scenes trivia, critical insights, and cinematic deep dives—while Megan keeps things lively with hilarious tangents, occult detours, and all manner of delightful distractions. Together, they break down classic, cult, and contemporary fright flicks, pairing each with the perfect brew. Whether you’re a film nerd, beer aficionado, or just here for the laughs, this podcast promises sharp wit, fresh perspectives, and enough spooky conversation to keep your nightmares on tap.

To pair with the madness, we crack open Kane Brewing’s Head High IPA—one of New Jersey’s finest. And once ag...
Welcome to the very first episode of Nightmares on Tap! We’re starting strong—with Freddy Krueger, Johnny Depp’s cheekbones, and a Dead Guy Ale from Rogue Brewing (Newport, Oregon) in hand.
This week, we revisit A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)—the slasher classic that built New Line Cinema—and dive into dream logic, dad toupees, and the questionable ethics of ignoring your screaming girlfriend. We also unpack Freddy’s odd running ...
