Our return to 1986 hits a new high with a discussion on Michael Mann's Manhunter. We fall in love with the weird choices, fantastic aesthetics and watching William Petersen jump through a window. It gets us very excited to watch The Silence of the Lambs again once we are in a time period where that movie exists. Join us for a surprisingly in-depth discussion on this 1980's gem.

The Scare Value Boys check into the Bates Motel once again to share their thoughts on Psycho III. They're still bumming around 1986...and it's not exactly going according to plan. On the bright side...they get to watch Jeff Fahey devour scenery while Anthony Perkins hands out another great take on his most famous character.

The Scare Value Boys are back in 1986...literally. This time they've time traveled on purpose to bring you another run of episodes from the best year that ever was. They're kicking off this new season in (poor) style with a discussion of Poltergeist II: The Other Side. Will it start their trip off with a thud...or will those sweet 1986 vibes be back in effect? Hope for the latter because they're doing nine m...
Our Twin Peaks: The Return mini-series comes to a conclusion with this bonus discussion of what in the Hell we think was happening on this incredible limited event series. Who is the dreamer? What's the deal with Billy? How did it all end? Who was Bill Pullman? All of these questions and more will be answered as incorrectly as you'd imagine. Plus...a sneak peak of what's coming up this summer on ...
Way back when we started Scare Value Podcast we recorded a brief non-spoiler out of theater reaction to Scream VI. Three years and a quarter years later...we decided to do that again for Evil Dead Burn. This was recorded in a windy parking lot with a less than professional recording device so the audio can get a bit bumpy...but it's also a brisk 23 minutes so what do you have to lose?
There will be a more professi...
We've reached the end of Twin Peaks: The Return...but we're going out in style. Join us for a watch-along of the epic and enjoyably confounding conclusion of the still way ahead of its time limited series. Queue up Parts 17 and 18 and watch with us as we throw around complex, conflicting and haphazard theories about what in the world we are watching. Then come back in a few days when we drop a bonus episode going ...
The Scare Value Boys reach the penultimate week of their return to Twin Peaks. Emotions run high as we lose the Log Lady, Diane's true nature is revealed, Dale Cooper finally returns...and Audrey Horne...well... Join us for our discussion on Parts 15 and 16 of David Lynch's final masterwork. It all ends next week with a watch-along for Parts 17 and 18...and a bonus episode where we try to make sense of what we jus...
The Scare Value Boys' coverage of Twin Peaks: The Return is hurdling towards its conclusion at light speed. This week they discuss every weird moment in Parts 13 and 14 of the limited series. Who is Billy? Why is Gordon Cole dreaming of a real person? Is arm wrestling the best way to run an election? All this and more confusion in this week's Scare Value Podcast.

The Scare Value Boys continue their journey back to Twin Peaks with Parts 11 and 12 of Twin Peaks: The Return. They get into their biggest argument about the meaning of some music playing in a scene...yes, even bigger than their argument about what Andy and Lucy were really arguing about last episode. That's a lot of arguing. They agree this show rocks though.

The Scare Value Boys are still trying to recover from Part 8 of Twin Peaks: The Return while the show starts tying story strands together in some interesting and unexpected ways. They discuss Part 9 and 10 of David Lynch's final major work as we pass the halfway point of our Twin Peaks: The Return run.

The Scare Value Boys reconvene to experience the stunning Part 8 of Twin Peaks: The Return in watch-along format. They do one for Part 7 too...but anyone who has seen the show before knows that Part 8 is the big draw here. A mind-blowing hour of television...and one of the finest hours of David Lynch's career. What does it all mean? Hell if we know. But boy is it something.

Our journey back to Twin Peaks continues with a discussion of episodes 5 and 6 of David Lynch's final masterwork. Pete thinks he's solved the mystery only he has been searching for...but he's upset about a casual child murder that happens on the show. The Return kicks into second gear with an outstanding episode 6...as it builds anticipation for the jaw dropping episode 8 that the boys will be covering in watch-along fo...
The Scare Value Boys continue their slow trek back to Twin Peaks alongside Dougie Jones, Mr. C, Janey-E and a whole host of other misfits. What will Pete think of Wally Brando? Will he continue to look for Bill Pullman on the Lost Highway? Did he really not know that David Lynch played a character in Twin Peaks? Find out all this and whether Bryan can keep his sanity while talking Twin Peaks: The Return Epis...
Pete and Bryan begin their journey back to Twin Peaks with a watch-along of the first two episodes of David Lynch's final major work, Twin Peaks: The Return. How will Bryan hold up watching this with his clearly brain damaged friend? Not well. Not well at all. Only eight weeks to go...he tells himself through frustrated tears.

Foreign Correspondent Ken joins the show from Taiwan for our yearly Top Ten episode. This year he puts a spin on it by introducing a few miscellaneous questions that still add up to ten in the end. What's our most anticipated movie of 2026? Who is the biggest horror icon of all time? What horror movies have you yet to see and why? All this and a couple more on this week's Scare Value Podcast.
It's a family affair on this week's Scare Value Podcast. Pete's wife Kitty and their daughter Fred join the show to watch 1985's Return to Oz...an alleged family film that gave nightmares to Xennials everywhere. Will the new generation think that's ridiculous? Or are two 47-year-old men right to still be frightened of a children's movie? Find out by watching (and listening) along with us!

Friend of the podcast Mark returns to try and help Pete understand what he watched in 1989's Society. It's a wild movie that has sadly gotten less shocking due to real world events. Still, it's pretty great. Don't be a butthead...get to listening wherever you get your podcasts.

The Scare Value Boys tackle another 2026 release in the killer chimpanzee movie Primate. They discuss why not having things like plot and character development can sometimes improve a movie...at least when that movie is about a chimpanzee with rabies trying to kill everyone around him. Seriously...what B-plot is going to improve that viewing experience?

Pete plays a reverse Uno card to pull an April Fool's prank on Bryan. What was advertised as a watch-along of 1986's April Fool's Day became an attempt to prank Pete into watching Wicked: For Good. Wise to Bryan's chicanery...Pete sets up a watch-along of his favorite horror movie...Poltergeist. A watch-along three years in the making.
To watch with us cue up Poltergeist to the moment the MGM lion/logo appear on s...
