Streaming Screams
Warnings for spoilers and mature content DO YOU LIKE SCARY MOVIES? We know you do, and so do we! We are Glenn and Jess, besties and drive-in mutants, with a shared passion for the macabre, the grotesque and the ridiculous. When you’re home alone on those dark and stormy nights, we’ll let you know where you can tune in and find a chill to run up your spine. Every month we’ll watch and discuss two horror movies that you can watch at home, alone or with that special someone or someTHING. We connect deeply with horror movies, which is a little disturbing if you think about it. So, we go off on plenty of tangents, side chats and rants along the way, before passing our final judgments and letting you know where you can find these terrifying treasures. What kind of horror movies do we cover? Why, anything you can stream! From the dawn of Hollywood to today. From the grindhouse to the arthouse, from slashers to found footage, from serial killers to haunted houses, and from comedy to the truly deranged, if it’s on the net for you, it’s on the slab for us. We’ll unleash new episodes on the 1st Thursday of every month, so please, enter freely, of your own will, and leave some of the happiness you bring. JOIN US.

On the road
This month, our ghoulish hosts head down to LA to see one of their favorite bands, Ghost, at the Kia Forum for one of the shows filmed for Rite Here Rite Now. Along the way they explore the spooky, wynorrific town of Raven’s End and a morbidly grisly haunted neighborhood in Buenos Aires, Argentina with two unique and visionary flicks:
The Mortuary Collection
Terrified
We’ll touch on the manipulative and deceptive tactics of the guys you shouldn’t date, the heartbreak of euthanasia and invalid care, original music made for movies, exploding genitals, housing structures in Argentina, anthology-like narrative structure, Rob Zombie’s Halloween, and Glenn, AGAIN, talks about his appreciation of penises in horror movies. It’s a good time!

Freaks on Parade
IT'S TIME TO ROCK!
In preparation for the Freaks on Parade Tour, featuring Rob Zombie and Alice Cooper (as well as Ministry and Filter), we recorded this somewhat special episode of Streaming Screams! We start today's discussion with a John Carpenter cult classic featuring Alice Cooper, and end with Rob Zombie's first film:
Prince of Darkness
House of 1000 CorpsesWe dive deep into the possible coding of Walter from Prince of Darkness, discuss Rob Zombie's methodology, anime-hipsterdom, and even step in a big steaming pile of controversy!

The Farmer’s Daughter
Gators and smut films and senior citizens, OH MY!
With Maxxxine having its major release just days away, we thought we’d revisit the first two parts of Ti West’s sexploration of cinema:
X
Pearl
Featuring absolute powerhouse performances by today’s #1 scream queen, Mia Goth, and explorations of age, sexuality, lust, love, film-making and how we are shaped both by our environment and the movies we love; this trilogy looks to be shaping up to be one of the best in horror history.
If you’re planning on seeing Maxxxine, and need a very fun refresher on the first two movies, this one's for you! Along the way we’ll touch on such subjects as monogamy vs polyamory, swimming in unvetted waters, the importance of consent and honesty in more than just intercourse, underwear with the day of the week on it, the use of elderly nudity in horror, Glenn’s adoration of Chelsea Wolfe and the truest horrors in life: Cosco on a Saturday (and their sub-par pizza.). One thing we will NOT be discussing is whether it’s better to find a man or a bear in the woods!
We’ll even include a bonus mini-segment with our reaction to:
the Maxxxine trailer!
It’s time to go over the rainbow and under the clothes in this month’s glamorously sleazy episode of STREAMING SCREAMS!

Sinister Honking
Slightly too late for “Halfway to Halloween” and a bit too early to catch that “Halloween creep,” but, so what! We’re going to load up on the mashed potatoes anyway with 2 heaping helpings of the biggest surprise hit franchise of the last decade:
Terrifier
Terrifier 2
We’ll dive headlong into the basement to find the abandoned circus to find what exactly makes Art the Clown so fun to watch, discuss the progress of director Damien Leone’s career, philosophize over the use of penises in horror movies, figure out which of us has had to deal with the most disgusting bathroom messes while working retail and try to figure out exactly what the hell a hospital orderly is.
So grab your Halloween costume because it’s time to drop on by the Clown Cafe in this episode of STREAMING SCREAMS!

Is This Thing On?
The pilot episode! This month we venture on a fantastic journey from a dark, backwards house to the art house and beyond with two treats for the eyes:
The Night House
In Fabric
We'll venture into the depths of grief and offer some insight on how not to make grief worse for the people going through it, the frustrations of the educational system from a teacher's perspective, the presence of depression. We'll also try to figure out how to pronounce giallo, the witchcraft of department stores, and the sexuality of washing machine repair all while overindulging in the same joke and Glenn mansplains drinking water to Jess.
It's time to to take the first steps of a grand adventure with this flashback episode of STREAMING SCREAMS

Red Flag
This month we suppress our instincts and ignore all of the red flags to find ourselves diving headlong into the chaos and madness of messy divorce with two absolutely wild rides:
Barbarian
Possession
What happens when you find your Air BnB already occupied? What happens when someone cheats on their spouse AND their side piece with an octopus creature? What's the absolute worst way to do your job as a private eye? Why does Glenn seem to harbor so much unreasonable animosity towards Justin Long and how do Superman and Han Solo fit into all of this?
It's time to find out in this toxic edition of STREAMING SCREAMS!

Demons, Drugs and Disease
Come get to know us as we chat about 2 movies from the southern hemisphere that each have it's own radical take on possession:
Talk to Me
When Evil Lurks
Along the way we touch upon such topics as the importance of listening to women when dealing with demons, the healing power of touch, and our thoughts on foot fetishes.
It's time for laughs, time for tears, and, most of all, time for screams IN the first episode of STREAMING SCREAMS!

Your Hosts
Jessica and Glenn became roommates in 2011 and rapidly developed a friendship that they would both cherish and everyone else would just have to deal with. They've shared in each other's greatest joys, and helped each other survive times of tragedy and stress. Loud, boisterous, and easily excitable, they can often be either a great source of entertainment, or just a bit too much for everyone else in their lives when they get together.
They share a deep appreciation of horror movies, 90's industrial music, mosh pits and games.
Jessica is passionate about animals and works in cat rescue. She often has a lot of kittens in her home.
Glenn is passionate about music. He loves most genres he comes across, plays multiple instruments and has a vinyl collection of a size that can be best described as "irresponsible."
