Daddy’s Home! Big Milwaukee Al’s Great Horror Return and a Shudder Bae First (Noah Exists!)

Little Shop of Horrors (1960) Would it be a drunken horror watching Shudder Bugs episode if there weren’t technical and sound issues? I don’t think so, so that’s what we’re bringing you this week! This might not be the Little Shop of Horrors musical, but we’ll still sing for you. Big Al returns as guest host extraordinaire. Surprise guest Noah finally makes an appearance! See, we told you he exists… Grab a knock-off cocktail and a carnation to snack on and follow us down!

02: SB Shorts – The Raven

The Raven (1845) Welcome back to Shudder Bugs Shorts! This week Samantha is bringing you one of the most classic horror shorts, The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe. It’s spooky, a little sad, and a lot harder to read aloud than you might think, but makes for a great little tale to start November. Grab yourselves your fav hot drink and dive on in.

We’re Back in the Tubby with Special Megan Guest!

Creep (2014) It’s Halloween, baby! Lordy a lot has happened in the last… too long, but we’re back for your ear holes, a nice long tubby for you to enjoy. Fair warning, we recorded this episode before the world fell apart, back when there was innocence and we only cared about how many d*cks we could see on TV at any given time. Back before Megan found a new (way better, way bigger d*cked bf), before Sam had a whole entire baby (seriously, she grew a human), and before Kaeley got married (ol Davey...

Christmas Evil (1980) Prepare your back doors because Santa is coming down your chimney tonight! Just kidding.

79: Never Trust a Reindeer

All the Creatures Were Stirring (2018) If you like Christmas classics such as The Grinch, Charlie Brown, and National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation then be prepared to add another to your beloved list after watching this masterpiece. We creep on an office party, shop til we drop, get some sweet sweet revenge, move through a cocaine fever dream, and rage with space creatures. What more could you possibly want?!?!?!?!

78: Just Let Go… Just Let Go… Jump Down Into That Fresh Snowwww…

Frozen (2010) TUCK AND ROLL! No, but seriously, tuck and roll if you’re going to jump from a high point. Oh, and if you’re in the wilderness are there are wild wolves (that I can only assume must be rabid because of their totally unnatural behaviour), make a lot of noise. They should just leave you alone. Unless you’re unlucky enough to be in the movie Frozen (no, not that Frozen). Welcome to our podcasty winter wonderland! Grab some rum and eggnog, a hot toddy, an Irish coffee, or maybe a North...

77: Like A Flameless Candle In The Wind… Unmoving

The Amityville Murders (2018) The Amityville murders are a mystery that may never be solved, but this 2018 film tries to portray what that night may have looked like. Unfortunately, you’ll need to be drunker than we got to enjoy it! You’re better off watching the 2005 Amityville Horror because at least you get to enjoy a topless Ryan Reynolds. Grab a drink (you’re gonna need it) and follow us on this incredibly lacklustre journey! https://shudder-bugs.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/nov-3-amityvi...

76: Lime, Coconuts, Goran Viznitcjhkx… We’d Drink It All Yup

Practical Magic (1998) All I’ve ever wanted was someone to wake me up with midnight margaritas! That and to have magical powers and a baller house. Well, we can’t all have it all, but we can watch movies and pretend! Not a typical horror movie, but definitely one of your gals’ favourites. Grab some vodka and follow us down into this classic ’90s witchy film! https://shudder-bugs.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/nov-3-practical-magic.mp3...

Megalicious Stars in “We Solve What You Did Last Fall” A Shudder Bugs Spooktacle

Urban Legend (1998) Sometimes, in the midst of recording a Halloween extravaganza, your guest doesn’t make it through the movie. Ever the champ, though, our good friend and special guest this week rallied through to the bitter end! If you’ve ever wondered how related the size of your hair is to how crazy you are, this movie might have the answer. Grab some vodka (maybe not too much of it this time) and come on down with us! https://shudder-bugs.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/oct-30-urban-legend....

74: It’s Basically Worse Than Pantypool… And That’s Saying Something

All Hallows’ Eve (2013) Have you ever stumbled upon an ancient abandoned pool that has a bit of swamp water remaining at the bottom? Have you ever inspected that further and found something beneath the gross and disgusting murky mess? Have you gotten close enough to the putrid liquid to see the nasty outline of heavily used clown panties? If yes, then this is the movie for you. If not, don’t bother watching it. But, if you insist, grab a drink and dive on in to #3 in the HALLOWEEN 2019 COUNTDOWN...

The Sultry Shudder Bugs Present “I’ve Seen Bigger Morgues With My Eyes Closed” Starring MeganxMassacre

The Possession of Hannah Grace (2018) We’re still not sure if this movie makes us want to never visit a morgue or ever work in one, but it makes us want more vodka! Honestly? At this point, we’ve seen better, we’ve seen worse, and we’re not sure that we’re seeing properly at all. But grab a drink and follow us down with #4 in the HALLOWEEN 2019 COUNTDOWN! https://shudder-bugs.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/oct-28-hannah-bananas.mp3...

Halloween Countdown 2019! Welcome to day 5 of the Halloween countdown 2019! It’s been a sec, so this episode is a catch-up (no, not Ketchup, sorry Kaeley).

Blair Witch (2016) WE AT IT AGAIN! Welcome to Blair Witch 2.0! Have you ever tried filtering cheap vodka 8-10 times through a charcoal filter? Because we did… and we got fucked up. If you’re into cheap booze and shaky video footage, then this is both the podcast AND movie for you!

71: You Can Always Curb Stomp His Face Into Oblivion

I Still Know What You Did Last Summer (1998) If audio porn is what you’re looking for this is… probably not the best place for you. But if you’re looking for two chicks to get drunk and sexy… still not quite the right place. BUT, if you’re looking for two drunk chicks watching a 90s slasher flick sequel, you’ve found it! Get on our level and dive on in with us! https://shudder-bugs.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/may-20-i-still-know.mp3...

70: A Father’s Love Never Dies… Guest Starring Everyone’s Favourite Daddy D

Pumpkinhead (1988) It’s an alien! Wait… is it? Did we just make that part up? What IS Pumpkinhead? Why does his head NOT look like a pumpkin?! How much did we drink this time?!?! I can’t promise this episode will answer any of those questions, but I’m sure you’ll be asking more by the end! Drink up buttercups! https://shudder-bugs.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/may-13-pumpkinhead.mp3...

68: It’s All Fun and Games Until Someone Summons a Demon

Ouija (2014) Who else had a Ouija board as a kid? Mine didn’t summon any demons… as far as I know, but maybe that has to do with why I have an obsession with horror and all things sinful Things learned from this movie: When people start dying, just STOP, for real! Also, get to know seniors better, because then you’ll be able to tell better when someone is obviously lying. Drink up everybody, we’re summoning the dead this ep. https://shudder-bugs.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/apr.-9-ouija.mp3...

67: Don’t Worry It’s Genetic!

Hereditary (2018) Is it contagious? Is it environmental? Is it psychosomatic? No, it’s Hereditary, and it’s F*CKED! Things we learned from this insane modern horror movie: you have a severe nut allergy? Keep a damn epipen on hand! You’re driving at breakneck speed (heh) down a dark highway? Don’t stick your damn head out the window! Pour a few drinks for this one folks, she’s a doozy! https://shudder-bugs.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/apr.-9-hereditary.mp3...
