Scream Girl Squad

Jill and Caryn catch the latest entry in one of their favorite horror film franchises with ANNABELLE COMES HOME (2019). Jill loves the soundtrack so much that she pulls a Patrick Wilson and sings part of it.

Our hosts find an unexpectedly entertaining gem in Hulu's LITTLE MONSTERS (2019; Made Up Stories, Protagonist Pictures, Snoot Entertainment). They laughed all the way through this zombie comedy and all the way through the review.

Continuing their marathon, Jill and Caryn watch THE HAUNTING (1999; DreamWorks presents, Roth-Arnold Productions). Their opinions on the movie's fun rating differ more than ever before, and Jill figures out the secret to loving a not-great movie for life.

Jill and Caryn compare and contrast the 1963 version of THE HAUNTING (An Argyle Enterprises Production) with the Shirley Jackson novel on which it was based, "The Haunting of Hill House." It's a little hard to focus with that handsome Dr. Markway running around their heads, but they muddle through.

Our hosts finally record their love letter to DARKNESS FALLS (2003; Revolution Studios, Distant Corners, Blue Star) by recapping, reviewing, and shredding apart one of their all-time favorite horror movies while revealing that neither one is very good at math.

Jill and Caryn climb way up on a soapbox to talk about proper movie theater etiquette before diving into IT: CHAPTER TWO (2019; KatzSmith Productions, Lin Pictures, New Line Cinema, Rideback, Vertigo Entertainment) for an in-depth review and analysis.

Up too late and full of sugar, Jill and Caryn review DON'T BE AFRAID OF THE DARK (2010; Miramax (presents), FilmDistrict (in association with), Necropia, Gran Via, Tequila Gang) between bouts of giggles and memories of better Guy Pierce movies.

Jill’s voice is adorably but painfully croaky, so the task of recapping UNFRIENDED: DARK WEB (2018; Bazelevs Production, Blumhouse Productions) falls to Caryn. Our hosts try to figure out exactly how the dark web works (surprise! they have no idea!) and throw around lots of computer terms they have no business using.

In preparation for the second chapter of IT, Jill and Caryn re-watch and review IT (2017; New Line Cinema (presents), RatPac-Dune Entertainment (in association with), Vertigo Entertainment, Lin Pictures, KatzSmith Productions). It's a story they're intimately familiar with after watching the 1990 mini-series a sickening number of times, a fact which causes our hosts to veer down memory lane more than ever.

The lure of READY OR NOT (2019; Mythology Entertainment, Vinson Films) is too much to resist, so in a Scream Girl Squad first, Jill and Caryn go to an actual movie theater and review a brand-new film. Our hosts are enamored with the cast, and Jill leverages Adam Brody’s cuteness to convince Caryn that they need to marathon The OC.

Jill and Caryn pay the price on a bad gamble with School Spirit (2019; Blumhouse Television, "Into the Dark" Episode 11) and end up reminiscing about their own school misadventures, as per usual.

Jill and Caryn recap and review the modern take on a classic Mexican horror story, The Curse of La Llorona (2019; Atomic Monster, New Line Cinema). Jill flexes her IMDB muscles and Caryn gets nuts with background theories.

Nostalgia gets the better of Jill and Caryn, prompting them to re-watch and review Thirteen Ghosts (2001; Warner Bros., Columbia Pictures, Dark Castle Entertainment, 13 Ghosts Productions Canada Inc.). The realization that this film is 18 years old transforms our co-hosts into grumpy old ladies who don't understand or agree with today's fashions.

Jill and Caryn beat the summer heat by recapping and reviewing season three of Stranger Things (Netflix, 21 Laps Entertainment, Monkey Massacre) and remembering the many ways they managed to muck up their early romances.

Jill and Caryn review "Truth or Dare" (2018, Blumhouse Productions) and worry they're each hiding giant, life-altering secrets from each other. Also discussed: upcoming horror releases, the increasing attractiveness of beards and chest hair, and why Jill is scared of mirrors.
