‘Scream 4’ Turns Social Media Into a Suspect [Halloweenies Podcast]
Rejoice, Woodsboro! The Stab-athon continues! As promised, Halloweenies co-hosts Justin Gerber, Dan Caffrey, McKenzie Gerber, and special guest Diandra Lazor have returned to the barn to finish their dissection of 2011’s Scream 4.
In the second of two episodes dedicated to the fourth chapter, the gang discusses the perils of social media stardom, debate whether they’d party after friends’ deaths, praise the film’s surprising (and effective) climax, slice and dice through every new face in Woodsboro, meditate on the stakes of Sidney’s fate, and dream of being the first kill in a horror movie.
So, put that Ghostface mask on again, grab another lemon square, and stream the episode below. New to the Halloweenies? Catch up with the gang by revisiting their essential episodes on past franchises such as Halloween, A Nightmare on Elm Street, and Friday the 13th via Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, RadioPublic, Acast, Google Podcasts, and RSS.
You can also become a member of their Patreon, The Rewind, for hilariously irreverent commentaries (e.g. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Gremlins, Child’s Play) and one-off deep dives on your favorite rentals (e.g. Saw, 28 Days Later, Manhunter, Near Dark). Each month promises something new and unexpected from the wildest corners of the genre.

John Carpenter’s ‘Prince of Darkness’ Is Flawed But Undeniably Original [Halloweenies Podcast]
John Carpenter is back with a new album next week: Lost Themes IV: Noir.
To celebrate, the Halloweenies are unlocking their past episode from January 2022 on the maestro’s 1987 relic, Prince of Darkness. Join Michael Roffman, Dan Caffrey, McKenzie Gerber, and Rachel Reeves in the basement of a Los Angeles monastery as they decipher their feelings on the curious case study of the crossroads between science and faith.
Together, they debate whether or not this intriguing intersection overpowers the narrative and characters, chart where this fits in Carpenter’s overall oeuvre, and meditate on a few what-ifs in the casting department. They also marvel at the pulsing score, discuss its parallels to Inferno, and try to make sense of the mythos at the center.
So, go to the mirror and listen below. Subscribe via Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, RadioPublic, Acast, Google Podcasts, and RSS. New to the Halloweenies? Catch up with the gang by revisiting their essential episodes on past franchises such as Halloween, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th, Scream, The Evil Dead, and Chucky. This year? Alien.
