Black Picket Fence Podcast

Can you believe we went an entire episode about John Carpenter's 1978 classic Halloween and we didn't mention even ONCE that we got married on Halloween? Life is crazy, man.

Y'all, I won't lie to you- this is less of an Edward Scissorhands episode and more like an hour long deep dive into my psyche when I was Really Going Through It as a teenager. Get ready for a whole lot of personal stories, fan art, some more personal stories, and a tiny bit of movie discussion~

Sshhh...do you hear that? They're getting closer, we don't have much time...I just want to tell you: we would die in A Quiet Place because our cats would scream at us and we would let them.

Now that we're out of the Twilight woods, we decided to treat ourselves to a GOOD vampire movie. Except Cameron wanted to do Salem's Lot, so we did that instead. It was, um...BORING

We really pranked ourselves this time, guys. We really, really did.

This week we're talking about Neil Gaiman's literary masterpiece, The Graveyard Book. It's got all the hits- ghosts, graveyards, Draculas, werewolves, mummies, vampires, assassins, childhood best friendships, witches, ghost witches, brooches, nursery rhymes, personifications of death, ghouls, night gaunts, and a really really good ending.

You like Harry Potter, right? We guarantee you that you don't like it more than the creators of As Above, So Below! They've practically remade book one and intertwined it with every Lara Croft story and bastardized Dante's Inferno in the process. We sorta enjoyed it!

This week, it's all about The Omen (1976). We tell each other where we were on 06-06-06, suggest alternate names for the main characters, and share a great meat pie recipe. Don't miss it!

Rustle up your best Skeksis whimper and settle in for an hour devoted to the Jim Henson classic, The Dark Crystal. This really is Mariel's Most Scary Movie from her childhood so it technically counts as horror for this podcast. We also reveal the winner of our very first giveaway!

You know that feeling when you're with your best friend, running through a fort underground, and suddenly you take an axe to the chest? That's Carcosa, baby! Chase that Carcosa feeling all day by listening to this action-packed episode! Grab your best friend and a tall boy of Lone Star, and get ready to talk about AWFUL THINGS!

Do you think vampires are the saddest of all the monsters? Do you wish you could throw yourself into THREE fires you started yourself? Is there a part of you that wishes that your first kiss was with Brad Pitt when you were 11? Yeah, us too.

We saw Winchester on Saturday at our local cinema so you don't have to! The Mystery House deserves better, Helen Mirren deserves better, THir13een Ghosts deserves better.

Who doesn't love a good ol' Clip Show? Mariel is still sick so Cameron has compiled the best of the best from a few choice episodes. We'll see you soon!

You've got red on you, but that won't stop you from going to the Winchester and waiting until all this blows over. We LOVE Shaun of the Dead and we're here to give you our zombie survival tips and share our favorite British mincemeat pie recipes~

Have you ever loved something SO much you wanted to destroy it? And wear its face around the house? While you cook dinner and complete other chores? Maybe apply some makeup to that face and make it look nice and tidy? Yeah us neither. But Leatherface sure does love all that!

What comes at night? We're not 100% on that. Join us as we share our funniest camping stories and discuss 2017's outdoorsiest mystery.

Valentine's Day is just around the corner...why not spend the 31+ days left with your favorite romantic serial killer, Annie Wilkes? This episode's got it all: Guess the Smell, Halloween costume commitments, and a new initiative we're really excited about- #MiseryThePigDidNothingWrong

For our Christmas Spectacular, Black Picket Fence traveled to Point Pleasant, West Virginia and toured the Mothman Museum! We bought all the merchandise, read every conspiracy theory, and posed with every woodcut we could find. We also watched The Mothman Prophecies but honestly, that was the least exciting part. We hope you have a very Scary Christmas! Mothman Museum: http://www.mothmanmuseum.com/ The Smiling Man (short film): https://youtu.be/L3HHyFygKh0

Happy Winter Solstice! To celebrate the shortest day of the year, we watched John Carpenter's THE THING and talked about Kurt Russell's gorgeous hair.
