Fearless Films
Fearless Films Podcast is a weekly show where we walk through horror movies, breaking down the beats, discussing the lore and interesting trivia of all the best (and worst) in the horror movie genre. The show started as Pete, the horror buff, explaining the plots of horror movies to Kevin, the scaredy cat, who hates being scared but is intrigued by these modern mythologies. Kevin eventually retired from the podcast, but the show goes on! Pete is now joined by Sarah, who also loves horror movies, and they continue the tradition of explaining the scariest stories to all the scaredy cats out there, so they don't have to watch the movies.

This week's movie follows a Richard Harris as a horrible ship captain that murders an Orca, which then spurs its grieving mate to declare war on him and the entire fishing community where he resides. That's not hyperbole, the sea animal goes full John Rambo and uses...
Long before Halloween made it the hottest trend and Scream was spoofing the idea, Jaws was the master of the requel.
This week, Pete takes us through Jaws: The Revenge, a film that completely ignores the events of the third entry and bills itself as the "actual" end of the trilogy.
Lorrain Gary returns from retirement to portray Ellen Brody, widow and grieving mother after the death of her youngest son. Her ol...
Sooner or later, every 80's franchise fell victim to the most dangerous beast - 3D gimmicks!

Just when you thought October was safe again... it's another franchise!!

This week, Sarah walks us through part 3 of the Conjuring saga.

When the students of an athletic academy begin disappearing in bloody ways, their Olympic dreams will become... an Olympic Nightmare!!
...wait a second, the name of this movie is Fatal Games. Or is it The Killing Touch?
No matter which of its many titles you pick, Pete's choice this week is a bad 80's slasher movie that suffers from being overly tropey, horribly offensive on multiple fronts, and just a general...
Ed and Lorraine are back, and this time they are taking Great Britain by storm!
This week, Sarah takes us through The Conjuring 2, based on the real life Enfield Haunting. A British family is tormented by an evil spirit that is forcing the children to see and do horrible things.

This week, we are talking about a spinoff from a franchise that was so spun, it doesn't even count anymore! It's The Curse of La Llorona!

Happy Fourth of July, Fearless Fans!! It's time for another holiday slasher!!
This week, Pete breaks down Uncle Sam, a cheap slasher about an undead soldier that punishes the unpatriotic... but also just any random person that's around. It's poorly made, often boring, and completely nonsensical. We're sure you'll love it!
Join us as we discuss peeping toms, corrupt politicians, and a town where ...
The doll is back (again) in what may be the worst titled entry in the franchise - Annabelle Comes Home!
Sarah breaks down the third and (hopefully) final Annabelle film, which tells the story of a night of babysitting gone wrong. The Warren's daughter's babysitter accidentally lets loose the killer doll from the MUSEUM OF CURSED OBJECTS. Predictably, things go very wrong.

This week, to celebrate the month of his birth, Pete picked another movie from his childhood that he definitely should not have been watching so young - John Carpenter's Vampires!
This late 90's western tells the story of a church-backed group of cowboys who hunt vampires across the United States. James Woods and one of the lesser Baldwin brothers must stop the bad guy from Karate Kid 3 before he unlocks a da...

The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark.
