This week, we're diving into the Shudder original Nightborn! Starring Seidi Haarla and Rupert Grint as new parents who relocate to a decaying home deep in the Finnish forest, the film digs into the unraveling of new motherhood and postpartum depression, layered with Finnish folklore and body horror. Miriam also talks about her recent breast cancer diagnosis and how important it is to do self exams and go to the doctor if you suspect anything. ♥️ Tangents include: Project Runway, getting a real one-wish willow, and how Cat's Eye traumatized Miriam about smoking.

Two chicks, one very special guest, and a whole lot of conversation! This week we're digging into Obsession, the Curry Barker horror flick that went from a YouTube sketch channel to the highest-grossing horror movie of 2026. We're joined by Angelo—longtime fan of the pod, member of our horror community, and (fun fact) the photographer at Tawny's wedding!—to talk the One Wish Willow, Inde Navarrette's genuinely unhinged performance, and why "getting everything you ever wanted" might be the scariest sentence in the English language. Grab your snacks, lock the door, and never make a wish you can't take back. 🔮 Perfect for fans of: psychological horror, horror-comedy, cursed object movies, and anyone who's ever had a crush go horribly, horribly wrong.

Ireland. A haunted inn. A witch with a grudge. And one very unlucky writer who should have known better. This week, we are heading across the pond for another Damian McCarthy masterpiece, Hokum — the latest from the Irish filmmaker who gave us Caveat and Oddity and has apparently made it his personal mission to make sure we never sleep again. Adam Scott stars as Ohm Bauman, an author who travels to a remote Irish inn to scatter his parents' ashes and ends up with way more than he bargained for. Because of course he does. We're breaking down the atmosphere, the folklore, the scares — and yes, we have thoughts. McCarthy's slow-burn style is either your love language or your nightmare (or both), and we are absolutely here for it.

In this follow-up Oscars episode, we dive into Frankenstein, Guillermo del Toro’s long-standing passion project that made its mark at the Academy Awards. The film won three Oscars for its stunning craftsmanship, winning in Makeup & Hairstyling, Production Design, and Costume Design. The film stands as a celebration of hands-on craftsmanship, offering a striking counterpoint to the rapid rise of AI. (Full disclosure: I used ChatGPT to help me write these show notes. I'm sorry Mr. Del Toro!) Tangents include: Trust me: The False Prophet, Mary Shelley, and the year without a summer.  Frankenstein (2025)  Director: Guillermo del Toro Tawny's rating: 3/5  Miriam's rating: 5/5 Send us Fan Mail Support the show All things TCHF: https://linktr.ee/twochicksandahorrorflick Support the Show: Join our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/twochicksandahorrorflick TCHF shop: https://twochicks.threadless.com/designs/podcast-cover-art/ Connect with Us: Join our horror community on Discord: https://discord.gg/8WBByTQPFX Watch us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@twochicksandahorrorflick Follow us on Social: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/twochicksandahorrorflick Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/twochicksandahorrorflick TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@twochicksandahorrorflick Twitter: https://twitter.com/twochicksHF  Send us your reviews, thoughts, and recommendations: [email protected] or visit our site https://www.twochicksandahorrorflick.com/

We have a special Oscars episode for you this week with Bugonia which was nominated for 4 categories, but won none. Bugonia is a remake of a 2003 Southern Koren film called Save the Green Planet! directed by Jang Joon-hwan. We get into the differences between the original and this adaptation, the themes, and, of course, the divisive ending. Tangents include: the incredible horror representation at the 2025 Academy Awards, if Hamnet is the new Shakespeare in Love, and how everything is plastic.

This week on Two Chicks and a Horror Flick, we’re heading back to the iconic 80s vampire classic — The Lost Boys. Joining us are our new horror BFFs Ian and Evan from The Kilt and The Redneck Reviews, and we had an absolute blast revisiting this cult favorite. Motorcycles. Mullets. Leather jackets. And a whole lot of vampires. The Lost Boys gave us big-time nostalgia vibes. From the soundtrack to the style, this 80s vampire classic still oozes cool — but does it hold up today? Grab your popcorn, turn the volume up, and join us as we sink our teeth into this legendary horror film.

This week on Two Chicks and a Horror Flick, we’re diving into one of the strangest, most bizarre films we’ve ever covered… Tusk. And we couldn’t think of better people to get weird with than our longtime friends Marc and Brooke from A Podcast on Elm Street. We’ve been podcast friends for years, so this episode felt like hanging out and talking horror with old friends — just with a lot more walrus discussion than usual. Kevin Smith takes body horror in a direction absolutely no one expected… A missing podcaster. A mysterious recluse. And a transformation so disturbing you won’t be able to look away. Is Tusk brilliant horror… or completely unhinged madness? Honestly… we’re still deciding. Press play and join the conversation.

Tawny's birthday pick was (unfortunately) Return to Silent Hill which is a movie adaptation of the game Silent Hill 2. We talk a lot about what was going on in the movie since the story became incomprehensible, but also compared it to the video game plot it was based on. Movie and game spoilers ahead!

Hold onto your Eggos, horror babes—we are diving into the Stranger Things Season 5 series finale! After years of waiting, we're finally saying goodbye to Hawkins, and trust us, this emotional rollercoaster hits different. We're breaking down that epic showdown, the gut-wrenching character moments that had us sobbing, and whether the Duffer Brothers stuck the landing after nine years of Upside Down chaos. From nostalgic callbacks to heart-stopping scares, we're talking about what worked, what didn't, and how this finale measures up against the entire series. Did our favorite characters get the endings they deserved? Was the final battle worth the wait? And most importantly—are we okay? (Spoiler: we're not.) Grab your flashlights and your tissues because this one's a big one. Stranger things have happened... but not many finales hit like this.

For our first birthday month pick Miriam chose The Bone Temple! Howzat?! We have both been eagerly awaiting this follow up to 28 Years Later to see WTF was going on and this film did not disappoint. Picking up right where the last movie left off, we're thrown in with Sir Jimmy Crystal & The Finger Gang. We get into some of the themes like humanity, faith, and illness.

The Chicks are back in Hawkins for Stranger Things Season 5: Volume 2, and emotions are HIGH. In this episode, Tawny and Miriam catch up after the holidays before diving headfirst into the second half of the final season—breaking down major moments, lingering questions, and what this volume means as the story barrels toward its end. As always, we wander delightfully off track along the way, because that’s just how we do it. Tangents include: holiday catch-up chaos and post-holiday brain fog, Tawny’s brief but intense love affair with football, dachshund puppies (because why not), and a few more side quests we absolutely did not plan.

It’s our final episode of the year, and you know what that means—it’s time for our annual Year in Review. 🍾🖤 We’re pouring a drink, taking a breath, and looking back at a year filled with unforgettable movies, hot takes we stand by (and a few we absolutely don’t), community moments that meant the world to us, and some truly unhinged horror experiences. From movies that blew us away to ones, eh, not so much, from favorite episodes and WTF scenes to listener questions that sent us spiraling—in the best way—we’re wrapping up the year the only way we know how: together. This episode is part reflection, part chaos, part love letter to horror, and part love letter to you—our listeners, Discord crew, Patreon fam, and everyone who showed up week after week to scream with us. Thank you for making this year what it was. We wouldn’t trade this community for anything. Here’s to one more night of horror before we turn the page. 🩸✨ 🖤 See you next year, Two Chicks.

The Chicks are heading back to Hawkins…one last time (well, Volume 1 at least)! In this episode, we dive into Stranger Things Season 5: Volume 1, unpacking the tension, the terror, the heartbreak, and the biggest WTF moments the Duffer Brothers have thrown at us so far. We talk character arcs, returning threats, and all the deliciously nostalgic horror influences that make Stranger Things the phenomenon it is. We fangirl hardcore in this episode!

This week, we’re firing up the chainsaw and diving into one of the most influential horror films of all time: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974). Whether you love it, hate it, or simply respect its place in horror history, there’s no denying the cultural impact of Leatherface’s grim, gritty debut. We break down the dinner scene that feels like a fever dream you can’t wake up from, the wild behind-the-scenes stories that make the movie somehow even more unhinged, and why this sun-baked nightmare still crawls under your skin after all these years. And of course…we air out some very strong, very justified feelings about Franklin. Join us for a fun, unhinged, deeply horror-nerdy breakdown of a movie that shaped the entire genre. Tangents Include: Why November 1st should officially be Horror New Year’s Day, our complete and utter disdain for Franklin, peeing in a can (yes… it came up), and much more!

For our last Timeless Terror episode we explore witches with the German film Hagazussa. Surprisingly this was the director's debut and a student graduation film.
