Scary Movie Nights is a podcast where the scares are real, but the friendships are realer. This biweekly podcast features Joan and Mariana, two friends and horror film fans, as they watch scary movies and provide some interesting movie facts and their personal, sometimes insightful, oftentimes witty, opinions.
What do you get when you combine a ritual sacrifice gone wrong and too many one-liners for one teenage girl? That's right - Jennifer's Body, released in 2009. Join Joan, Mariana, Lauren, and Travis as they discuss this cult classic. Listen as we get DEEP into the metaphor and symbolism while at the same time sprinkling on a bit of humor. Hey, just like the movie!

Mar and Joan take on one of the quintessential teen slasher films of the 90's - I Know What You Did Last Summer, which is crazy because I can't even remember what I did yesterday!
We talk about the film's success, the gorgeous cast, and the philosophical age-old question: If you could get away with murder, would you? Would you?
So WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?! Listen now!

On this episode, we review the original Japanese 1998 Ring along with the American remake The Ring released in 2002. Did this movie scar you as a child? Because it sure did that to us!

This week, we're facing the Lamia in Sam Raimi's Drag Me to Hell! We're breaking down the film's over-the-top scares, comedic moments, and that shocking ending.
