We're joined once again this week by guest host, Lauren, to help us talking about Blumhouse's latest horror flick, THE BLACK PHONE. We discuss Scott Derrickson's obvious love of grainy film footage and dead kids, why were the children in this movie raging maniacs, and the absurdity of stopping to help a strange man with white face paint and Dahmer glasses while a kidnapper is on the loose in the town.

Ep 20: The Black Phone

This week we're joined by a special guest and talk about 1980's campy cult classic, MOTEL HELL! Are we opposed to eating human meat if it's on deal? Is this movie definitely about GILF-hunting? Does Ash finally have nothing bad to say about a movie? Guess you better listen to find out! Find us on Instagram @ToAvoidFaintingPodcast And Twitter @ToAvoidFainting

Ep 19: Motel Hell

This week Ash and Stacey-Beth get together (Mike sat this one out) to talk about Shudder's newest addition, MAD GOD. Visual effects master Phil Tippet's labor of love stop animation film that took 30 years to make. Does the movie make any sense? Probably not. Did Stacey fall asleep mid-way through? There's a good chance! Listen and find out. Follow us on Instagram @ToAvoidFaintingPodcast Twitter: toavoidfainting

Ep 15: The House That Jack Built

2021 is just about over! Let's end the year with a holiday-appropriate episode, where Ash and Stacey talk about the under-watched (maybe for a good reason?), NEW YEAR'S EVIL. Mike had to sit this one out, but he'll be back next week! Here's to 2022! Follow us on Instagram @ToAvoidFaintingPodcast

Ep 14: New Year's Evil

Merry Christmas! This week we're talking about the classic holiday horror, BLACK CHRISTMAS. This movie has all you could want for the most wonderful time of the year- vulgar phone calls, drunk college girls, the brutal murder of said college girls, dipshit cops, and fun facts on the fucking rituals of turtles. What a joy! *episode ends a little abruptly because why wouldn't we have technical issues?  Follow us on Instagram @ToAvoidFaintingPodcast

Ep 13: Black Christmas

It wouldn't be a TO AVOID FAINTING episode without our impeccable timing. We'll be releasing 2 Christmas eps this week (disregard my statement in the beginning of the episode about a month of Christmas shit). Stacey, Ash, and Mike get together to talk about 2007's INSIDE. French horror films just hit different, yeah? Expecting the birth of a child? Really like cats? Have an aversion to scissors and the damage they can inflict on a dude's junk? Maybe this isn't the one for you, but there's only one way to find out! Follow us on Instagram @ToAvoidFaintingPodcast

Ep 12: Inside

If there was ever a more inconsistent podcast....we're back with a new episode! Stacey, Ash, and Mike sit down to talk about everyone's favorite(??) twist master, M. Night Shyamalan's, newest movie, OLD. Come listen to Stacey say "at this point" at least 342 times and us all agree that this movie would have been far more successful as a TWILIGHT ZONE episode. We also give our favorite M. Night movies at the end which are honestly all way better than this one. Follow us on Instagram @ToAvoidFaintingPodcast

Two horror-loving best friends get together to talk all things horror.

Ep 10, y'all! This episode has been a pain our asses to record, but Stacey, Ash, and Mike are back to talk about the newest installment in the franchise, V/H/S/94. Does this one redeem the mess that was Viral? Listen to find out! There's RoboCop references that I don't get, Ash educates us on gun laws, we spend too much time analyzing a movie that doesn't need it, and there's plenty of loud background noises!  Follow us on Instagram @ToAvoidFaintingPodcast

We're back! On this episode we're joined by dear friend and local filmmaker, Mike, to talk about 2021's CANDYMAN. Ash somehow manages to compare Candyman to McDonald's franchises, there's loud outdoor noises, we trail off onto our love for Half Price Books and other horror films, and we ask the ultimate question: Would you say Candyman 5 times in the mirror?

Ep 9: Candyman (2021)

We're back again (we know, after another week hiatus!) to talk about the VHS trilogy of anthology films. We might get a lot of facts in this episode wrong and talk about how much I love aliens and how much we HATE VHS: VIRAL (seriously, it sucks), but that's okay, because it can't be any worse than VHS: VIRAL itself.

We're back this week to give you our totally unsolicited recommendations for kid-friendly horror movies!

Ep 5: The Collector/The Collection

We're once again visiting Australia and proving why it's a terrifying place, except instead of psycho, human killers, we're talking about psycho pig killers....well, not killers of pigs, but pigs that are killers. You know what? Just listen because we discuss 1984's RAZORBACK and 2017's BOAR.

Ep 4: Razorback vs Boar

We know, we know, we're a week late on this episode but we had scheduling conflicts and now Texas is in the middle of a winter apocalypse. All that matter is we're here now, and we're joined by our first guest, Cole aka "Corpus Creeper", to talk about a few films that were inspired by real-life serial killers. We go from talking about the well-known Fincher film, ZODIAC, to the "well known in horror" grime-fest, HENRY: PORTAIT OF A SERIAL KILLER, before ending the episode with the definitely less-talked about Austrian film, ANGST. You might enjoy the outdoor ambiance of my mic with passing cars and alarms while we talk Robert Downey Jr.'s ability to be himself no matter what role he plays, Cole's weird love of the Henry character, and me and Ash wondering if Angst is meant to be a comedy/ASMR film. We also completely butcher any idea of what we think the film SUMMER OF SAM is called (it's not Son of Sam) and thinking it's directed by Martin Scorsese. Hey, we're only practically perfect!
