It's that time of year again...time to try and convince Pete that The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is a masterpiece. This year we watch it side by side with Pete's preferred entry in the series...The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2. It's a dual screen watch-along! Will this finally convince Pete that Tobe Hooper's original is great? Or will he get swept up in the comedic moments of Hooper's 12 years later sequel...forcing them to try som...
The Scare Value Boys are back with something special...a look at the 1990 masterpiece Frankenhooker. As usual...it's a first-time watch for one of them. Will he love this beautiful piece of B-movie madness as much as his co-host? There are exploding prostitutes. Of course he will. Will they wander off track to discuss Stone Temple Pilots concerts and the 1996 Keanu Reeves movie Chain Reaction? Of course they will.
We're back with our annual Spooky Season Spectacular! Kitty joins Pete and Bryan to look at all the big horror releases coming out between now and Halloween.

With this year's Spooky Season Spectacular postponed for a week the Scare Value boys discuss two 80s horror comedies. Pete picked this week's movies...and Bryan is left dumfounded after watching his picks. If you remember watching House and House II: The Second Story as a kid...what better way to revisit them then by listening to two middle aged men argue about what in the world was happening in front of and behind their cameras.
...The Scare Value Podcast returns to the Bates Motel to check in on our old friend Norman. That's right...we're doing Psycho II this week. The sequel no one wanted that holds up far better than it has any right to. Instead of taking the easy road and producing a cheap slasher to fit the movies of the time...Psycho II delivers a deep character study...posing the question "Will society ever let someone like Norman Bates be sane?" S...

With the rift between the Scare Value Boys threatening the future of the podcast...Pete and Bryan sit down for a little couples therapy on this bonus episode. Pete is holding a grudge about several lies told, and hurtful choices made by, Bryan recently on the podcast. Bryan is equally upset about Pete's being angry about those very real things that he did. Can they work through their issues and save the podcast? Will Pete see n...

Anticipating Pete's negative reaction...Bryan has a special surprise to help him get through the 2 hour and 40 minute movie. Will it be enough? Is their partnership heading towards an end?

Pete and Bryan have spent the week in each other's bodies as the result of an unexpected body swap. What better time could there be to watch 2020's slasher comedy/body swap movie Freaky? Spoiler...they spend more time talking about 2025's Superman and arguing about what they've learned in the last week than discussing the movie they were supposed to cover. This is a weird one.

The Scare Value Podcast heads to Taiwan to wrap up its trip through Asian cinema. It gives Pete the chance to exact revenge for a laundry list of aggravations. As crazy as 2021's The Sadness is...this episode might be even crazier. Pete invites a special guest to join the discussion. Since they're in Taiwan you probably already figured out who that is. Eventually...the simmering anger between the Scare Value Boys boils over in...
The Scare Value Boys (fake) expedition through Asia continues with a look at 2004's Shutter from Thailand. In this episode we learn that Pete believes in ghosts but not the subtitles he's reading. So, yeah...the trip is going exactly as well as it has been going.

The Scare Value Boys' trip to Asia continues in Indonesia for a discussion of Joko Anwar's Satan's Slaves from 2017. Pete is still angry that Indonesia looks an awful lot like his basement...but Bryan is excited to revisit a modern classic.

The Scare Value Boys continue their (fake) tour of Asia with a loving look at South Korean masterpiece Train to Busan. Pete puts his anger away just long enough to gush over the zombie movie...or, at least, he directs it at the child star instead of his podcast partner. Plus...they attempt to recast the film's lead roles for an American remake. It goes exactly like you expect it to.

The Scare Value Boys trip to Asia begins in Japan with a discussion of 2017 independent marvel One Cut of the Dead. Pete is being a grump because they "didn't actually go to Japan"...but he loves the movie, nonetheless. Stick around to find out how they find a comparison for this film to Rocky and, of all things, the Jackass franchise.

The Scare Value Boys tackle a two-year long issue when they sit down to revisit the 2023 hit movie M3GAN. When they saw the movie together upon release...Pete claimed to like it. He’s since spent two straight years claiming it was terrible while having never watched it again. Will he still think it's bad this time? Special bonus game: Guess which one of us had pneumonia during this recording!

The entire Scare Value Podcast crew joins together (separately) to record a script read through for the 50th anniversary of Jaws. There was a slight hitch in the process...as we discovered the night before that the script from Jaws doesn't exactly match the classic lines and moments from Spielberg's masterpiece. Undaunted, the script was hastily re-written from memory to truly honor this momentous occasion.
